ZipRecruiter Reviews: 4.8/5 — Highly Rated

The simplicity to navigate through each candidate and being able to review resume in tab without downloading right away.

Only have a short amount of invites to send out to potential candidates.

I am being to access my candidate pool when they apply.

I like the ability to invite you to apply and ask multiple screening questions. I also like the traffic boosts.

I'm not too fond of the cost of zip Recruiter. Although it is a very useful tool for recruiting, it eats up my entire recruiting budget. I would love to see more options available for the price we pay.

The only problem I have met is we can only post remote jobs to one city at a time. It would be beneficial to post a job as fully remote without publishing it in a single city.

Fast and easy application process always receive feedback

Not much that I can say I dislike about the app

ZipRecruiter has made finding jobs in my field easy

I like that you can post to all the major (and smaller) cities. You can hide candidates if they do not meet expectations

You get a lot of the same candidates for each position. When you do a search, you cannot select if they are currently employed, which makes the searching a longer process

Staffing. More likely to get candidates this way

Nothing so far, I found it's helpful and easy to use.

Sourcing and job postings are easy although it's budget-friendly.

It was quick and easy to post a position and I got a lot of qualified candidates immediately. The best part, of course, is that I ended up hiring the first person I contacted from Zip Recruiter and she is a great employee. I loved the free trial and I was actually able to complete my hiring within the free trial period so I never paid. After that experience, I would not hesitate to come back and pay for a posting next time I'm seeking an employee.

I was getting suggested applicants who were extremely overqualified. I was looking for an intern position at the time for only a few hours per week and I kept getting people with 10+ years of experience applying.

I only used ZipRecruiter once and it solved the problem of searching for an employee. The problems I encountered were mostly the same as the "dislikes" above. It wasn't really a problem, it was just not useful to receive so many resumes from candidates who were obviously not seeking the job I was offering.

Super simple. We get a lot of applicants using zip.

Job templates can be weird to edit but now you have the option to

No problems. More candidates.

Zip Recruiter makes looking for employment simple

Resumes are only filtered by a few select questions to get through the screening process

I am using Zip Recruiter every chance I can!

that you can search and apply in the same app

the large number of notifications can get tedious

this app makes searching for a job easy. I get to apply for any number of jobs that I am highly qualified for.

Ease of Usage, tracking candidates is very easy, communication through the app, profile matching of qualified candidates which is super helpful, posting on multiple sites is much easier

wish they could have text communication, customer support is very unresponsive

Recruitment and Talent Search

I like the resume / profile view when looking at applicants. Some resumes don't load properly and it can leave you wondering if the candidate doesn't have the proper computer skills but getting a second glance at their information on the profile side can change my mind on whether or not to call someone. I like the profile pictures as well. So when I'm calling people in to meet for an interview I generally know what they look like so I can tell them apart for customers at my stores.

I don't like the message application within ZipRecruiter. People don't seem to respond when I try and contact them that way. Its best to either call them directly from their number listed, email or text message to their phone.

Staffing / turnover

Ability to communicate with using the message feature. You can quickly shortlist/discuss candidates by looking at a preview of their resume. You can receive a large volume of good candidates in a very short period of time. We ended up getting over 100 people on the very first day

Inability to filter candidates based upon previous/relevant designations. The system takes a lot of ratings to improve suggestions. You can apply location-based filters but there's is no way to candidates from a specific industry or job role. Also, you get limited access to resume database and invite to apply feature is sold separately. I wish they let you send a message or invite people to apply for a job for free. Monthly billing can end up costing too much if you're just hiring a few people every year.

Quickly finding quality candidates for open vacancies

It helped me filter the exact position I was looking for.

There are fewer jobs compared to other job portals. But the good thing is that most of the jobs mentioned here are genuine.

There are fewer jobs compared to other job portals. But the good thing is that most of the jobs mentioned here are genuine.

You can filter for location, distance, title

That you cannot filter for job requirements

I like using it to apply to jobs quickly, and to filter through searches

I loved the rapid rate of applications I received when using ZipRecruiter. So many other platforms could take days to get an applicant or two. With ZipRecruiter, I had multiple qualified candidates within the hour.

I wish ZipRecruiter allowed you to view applicants even after your subscription has ended. I understand not being able to receive new applications, but believe old applicant should still be able to be seen as they were obtained during the paid period.

ZIpRecruiter has been a great asset in our search for hiring new employees. Their staff is excellent at follow-up and is very friendly and helpful to ensure you are in the best position possible to receive qualified applicants.

What I like best about ziprecruiter is that it has messaging. You have an opportunity to communicate with potential employers without the pressure of meeting and speaking with them for the first time at a formal interview. I like that the site is very user friendly. It gives you opportunity to fine tune your resume to the job posting that you just received. It lets you know how many people have applied for the position through ziprecruiter. It also lets you know when the job is no longer available. One of the best things about the site is the history and status of the jobs that you have applied to. It is an all around good site if you are in need of a job. The resume critique is awesome also.

The only thing that I dislike is that I get other industry jobs that I have never applied to. This is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for people that are looking to change industries.

The problem that are solved is that I don't have to be on several different job sites. I will continue to use ziprecruiter because it is one of the best job recruiting sites there is in the industry.

Getting your info out there to recruiters and Managers. Sometimes , relaying all of your qualifications on an internet job board can be difficult

It hasn't been too easy being able to filter out fake job ads from real ones. I've seen a few fake ads on this webpage, and I'm not sure what is being done to ban users from posting fake ads

ZipRecruiter is a bit more personal than other job boards. I feel like it is a bit more likely to speak with a hiring manager or recruiter by posting a resume on this site

What I like most about ZipRecruiter is that the jobs that they forward to me have been most on-target with the sort of positions I am looking for. When I have been hiring for teams I have led I have found that the results for candidates have been the most accurate. Very positive experiences all around.

I don't really have downsides working with ZipRecruiter. As an online jobs site, I find them to be best at delivering on the things they say they will.

The reason I have ZipRecruiter as our go-to jobs site is that they solve the problem we have seen other places where they don't really deliver what we're looking for. ZipRecruiter delivers!

I like that my information is saved to my profile, so it makes applying for multiple jobs a quick and easy process. From my dashboard, I can look at salaries,messages, available jobs, positions that I have applied for, and those that I have saved for later. This is especially helpful when you are perusing positions, yet don't have the time to research the company or actually send an application. I also like that I can set notifications to let me know when positions that match my qualifications and interests are posted. The ability to use a mobile app also makes it very convenient to check on jobs, see updates to applications, and to return messages in a timely manner. The notifications on the dashboard make it clear when I have action items that I need to take care of related to jobs, or when there are new positions posted that match my needs.

Some of the results I get when I search for particular jobs don't really match my query. For example, as a buyer, I get notices with job postings that contain the word buyer in the job description. This means that I am sorting through a lot of positions that are not a good match for me.

I am able to significantly cut down the amount of time that I spend searching for positions and applying, since it can all be done from my dashboard and on one site. I've gotten much quicker responses from applications submitted to ZipRecruiter's platform than on other job search sites, as well. I especially like that I can inquire about the salary of a position after I apply, and the hiring manager will be contacted for the information to confirm. This is in addition to the salaries section of the site, where I can search via company name or position. I just like that I get a confirmation from the hiring manager, as this information has historically been inaccurate on hiring sites. This is another time saving service, as I can withdraw my application without wasting my time or the hiring manager's time further if the salary offered does not meet my requirements.

It is a clean looking environment to filter an seek jobs that fit my interest and skill level.

It pushed me into jobs based upon my past experience. I do not necessarily want to do what I did in the past.

I am not an expert in fill out a resume. I come across great in person, but not so much on a document. Most jobs allow me to add a cover letter so I can tailor my approach to the specific position that let me shine a little better.

Zip recruiter always has potential jobs that I may like. I love getting the notifications to text and email when something similar to my background is made available to apply.

I wish they would send me jobs that not only matched my background but matches my worth as far as salary and education goes.

no problems that are serious. The benefit is knowing I trust ZipRecruiter more than any other job site

It matches with jobs that are a match, in varying degrees.

Formatting the resume before uploading it.

Looking for an additional job. Haven't found one with ZR yet.

The most helpful thing about ZipRecruiter is that its search results brought me back good matches that were sometimes job titles that I hadn't even considered searching for. I used ZipRecruiter to find my current job and my last job before that. Both jobs were a good fit for my skills and preferences.

I can't really think of a downside to using ZipRecruiter.

I have been in my current job for nearly 2 years now and absolutely LOVE what I am doing, but wouldn't have searched for this particular position on my own. However, ZipRecruiter recognized a few key elements on my resume that they suggested might make me a good fit. Fortunately my employer agreed! I also used ZipRecruiter to find my last job. I applied for one position they had listed and then the HR manager at that company called and said "We have actually decided to do away with the position you originally applied for, but reading your resume... I have another position available that you may really be better suited for." She sent me the job description on that Wednesday evening. I interviewed that Friday and started work the following Monday.

I have utilize ZipRecruiter both personally and professionally. When working with ZipRecruiter professionally, I was teamed up with an account specialist who really understood our needs and was able to put together a strategic plan to get the candidates we were looking for. The follow up was brilliant and couldn't have asked for more.

There was nothing during our relationship that caused issue or concern.

ZipRecruiter was able to assist our organization put together a strategic plan to recruit professional nursing candidates to a rural area. ZipRecruiter was able to pull supportive data and target specific locations to maximize our visibility.

I enjoy that Zipcruiter allows you to one-click apply for a plethora of opportunities. I also enjoy that you could cater the platform to specific types of jobs that you are looking for. It's really encouraging when you receive e-mails with new and live positions that I could apply for. I also like that it allows you to build your own profile where you can market yourself to employers.

I dislike that certain jobs may stay live longer than need be. Once a position anywhere is filled the listing should close. There should be some algorithm to make this possible. For example, I once applied to several amount of positions and came to the realization that employers weren't reviewing all the applications coming in. I learned this because I was told at my current job that this outlet is used as a worst-case scenario. So in those terms I was lucky. I also learned this through applying to a certain position to only find out that the business has been closed for months. There needs to be a way to make sure employers are accountable for replying to candidates who are interested in the position.

ZipRecruiter is helping me become a more detail-oriented individual. The benefits are that it has inspired me to put myself out there on more professional outlets. I also like that the home page lists all the recent job postings that cater to what you are looking for.

The best for me is they employees most likely respond in any way to your application

I really can not complain, the downsides are that sometimes you get contact from recorded calls

I got a job. I sent a lot of resumes, and I still get to save my ziprecruiter profile just in case

Zip Recruiter is a great portal for all levels of job seekers and employers. It is highly functional and efficient in connecting the two. Its user-friendly interface and suggestions make it ideal for candidates.

I would like to include an experience level button within the search parameters. It helps us identify jobs more curated to our level of experience/candidacy. Also, standardizing the job description will be very helpful. Not all companies post job descriptions in a logical sequence that genuinely touches upon the scope of work.

Lastly, the 'experience level' should not be included in the job description section. It should ideally be a separate filter. I noticed that when looking for entry-level jobs, the job description often says '2-3 years experience needed'. I have often hit this wall while completing applications.

Easy use GUI on both Mobile and Desktop browser.

Nothing comes to mind at this point of writing.

Speed; quick in and out use for both recruiting and job seekers.

The ability to do a 1-click apply. Also some more new job postings compared to Indeed.

I feel cover letters are an essential now in the job market when hundreds of people apply to the same job. So possibly making a cover letter easier to input into the program.

Applying for jobs in a quick manner. Also notifications on when an employer has looked at your resume.
