"Need better filters for job seekers"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The 1-Click option to apply for a job is a great feature of ZipRecruiter. It always for the resume on credentials on file to be directed to the hiring company. Ease of use.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

No sorting or filtering out commission only jobs, it is a frustrating experience, even if you filter full time jobs, the commission only jobs sneak in and thus a feature that I dislike.

What problems is ZipRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped both on the job seeking side and also for one or two job postings that we have considered with ZipRecruiter. The process of adding a new posting is fairly easy.

"ZipRecruiter helps organize our candidates "
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The ability to have other managers thumb up or down candidates. This made it easy to tell what the next step was for the candidate.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Sometimes it does not send out the email that allows the candidate to reply back. Our Account Manager suggested we put our email address after our signature to fix this issue.

"Fine, Basic"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Ziprecruiter is, to me, one more job board. It has yet to differentiate itself in any way from indeed, monster, etc. It performs its basic functions well, but I don't know why it's used over anything else. It's automatically linked with our ATS, so we log in and will post there automatically.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

As I said - I don't see any difference between ZipRecruiter and any other job board site. They need to do some real work on what makes them different and how they stand out in a huge crowd of job sites. I don't think I ever thought to go to ZipRecruiter on my own, without being linked for some other reason.

What problems is ZipRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are working in a hyper-growth business bubble right now. Our business is skyrocketing and we are trying to hire an enormous amount of people at once, while also ensuring that they are the right fit for the team and for the organization.

"An Interesting Platform - Unsure About ROI for Small Business"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The platform is easy to access and navigate, and I like the way the candidates are tracked (along with their resumes and responses).

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I did not see a clear way to respond to candidates through the platform (and it did not seem as simple as replying to the email). It was also not clear to me whether candidates were actually applying or whether the system was providing matches based on experience?

What problems is ZipRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are working to fill an administrative position for our business. We are small in terms of number of employees, and we all wear lots of hats as a result. Recruiting is one responsibility that I have to juggle, and I was drawn to ZipRecruiter as a way to leverage my efforts. But the cost is prohibitive for us, since we are only hiring occasionally and not constantly in recruiting mode.

Once you complete your file it’s easier to be matched to jobs than other website job hosts.

"It's ok..."
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

It's very easy to use and navigate, and it's also very organized.

We don't seem to get bang for our buck. We tend to get more candidates from free postings from indeed than from ziprecuiter.

"Zip Review"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like that a lot of the jobs feature the 1 click apply option and the ease of use within the site.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I never receive a callback or interview for about 95% of the jobs I apply to, even those I'm well qualified for and say I'm a great match. On top of that, the callbacks I do receive are either commission-based jobs or suspicious businesses. I was hired by 2 companies in the past 3 years that were both scammers.

What problems is ZipRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

ZipRecruiter always seems to have plenty of jobs in the field I'm looking for so it keeps me optimistic that I will eventually find a legitimate opportunity that I can call home.
