When we launched our first RTL language—Hebrew—back in 2015, a good bunch of users came through with requests for language support in Arabic. Today, we’re happy to announce that it’s now live!

This is what we hear when recruiters ask if we support Arabic.

“هل يمكننا إرسال بريد إلكتروني باللغة العربية إلى المرشحين؟”

[“Can we email our candidates in Arabic?”]

“نود أن تكون واجهتنا كاملة باللغة العربية”

[“We’d like to have our entire interface in Arabic”]

“هل يمكنني الحصول على بوابة الموردين باللغة العربية؟”

[“Can I have my Vendor portal in Arabic?”]

Now we can proudly say YES!

How much easier would conversations be if you could have them all in your native tongue? Arabic is now part of our package, thanks to an all-hands effort from the team.

Maybe your client feedback isn’t always in English and you want everyone on your team to be able to understand it better; or perhaps you want your candidate and vendor portals to be localized. Not to forget your communication with candidates, too. At Zoho Recruit, we work hard to ensure our software is as inclusive as possible.

That’s why we released Arabic support for Zoho Recruit. You can now set your language and time zone, create templates and modules, maintain your candidate data, and send out emails—all in Arabic.

“As an international company serving over 60 million users across the globe, supporting local languages in our software and ensuring an excellent experience for both our customers and their customers is a top priority. Complete support for the Arabic language will help us with this, particularly in the MENA region. Specifically for HR companies and departments, using software that fully supports Arabic will help recruiters and candidates alike to have an improved experience, connect more efficiently, and achieve their goals more effectively.”

– Ali Shabdar, MEA Regional Manager Zoho Corp.
