"Wonderful & Easy"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I love filtering the job type how it narrows it down to the most liked. I also enjoy how fast employers call right away at least 24 hours later. It is a perfect engine too quickly find a job in your criteria.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I really have no dislikes I just wouldn't mind the less advertising and false jobs that send me on a wild search.

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

I am solving problems by setting up my resume and learning more ways to better my job experiences.

"Recommended, now I recommend!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The most impressive part of ZipRecruiter is it's ability to link employers with those who seek to be employed. Although that's the entire purpose of a job site, ZipRecruiter is top notch at actually reaching that objective, compared to other job sites that seem to take a hands off approach.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

As comprehensive as it is, sometimes it can be too comprehensive. Also, the main website could definitely be more user friendly.

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

I'm able to clearly state who I am, my experience, and find relevant openings quickly.

"ZipRecruiter Works."
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like the ease of availability with job opporunities, and how promptly prospective employers respond.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Not being able to save multiple resumes, in case I want to apply for jobs in different fields.

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

To date, two of my most recent employers have come via ZipRecruiter. It works.

"Easy Application Process, Quick Results"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like how Zip Recruiter allows me to view only the positions that match me instead of the ad-filled, cluttered websites many other job board sites have. I don't have to type in my individual work history like many of these low-tier HTML sites make you do, I just plug in my important information and a copy of my resume and potential employers can connect with me more quickly.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I think any job board site has room for improvement in ensuring that older postings get deleted on a cycle so no one wastes their time applying to positions that have already been filled. There's also always room to add more filters for job searches to better tailor results.

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

Zip Recruiter has given me hope in my job search. I recently moved to a new city and have been struggling with finding opportunities in the specific areas of work I'd like to take my career path towards, and Zip Recruiter has shown me an easy way to see all of these previously hidden opportunities in front of me.

"A Must!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I love how easy and transparent it is to apply, search, and find jobs. I have now found three fulfilling jobs i've found thanks to zip recruiter. One job I didn't even have to apply to, they found my profile and contacted me. There is always daily updates on my feed of new jobs and ones that I may like based on my experience, giving me opportunity to expand my work experience.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

In my profession, I am in a hiring role. I have found that so many applicants through zip recruiter either have no clue they've applied or just scrolled down and clicked apply, apply, apply blindly hoping to catch something. I'm not sure how this would be fixed but it's a bit of a time waster when contacting applicants. Perhaps not removing one click apply altogether but requiring a little more effort and awareness on the part of the candidate. I can't tell you how many times i've called applicants and they don't even know they've applied.

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

I'm in the process of hiring a zip recruiter applicant. I love being notified when a candidate that could be a good fit is clearly set out above the rest.

"ZipRecruiter is phenomenal weapon to use in the fight to find the right job for you!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I love how ZipRecruiter streamlines the communication process between employer and potential employee! As a government contractor, I am hardly ever promised long term employment but, with ZipRecruiter, all of the stress that comes with a potential job change is all but removed!

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The one thing that I would change is that I wish ZipRecruiter would allow you to customize job searches based on the time of type work you want to do within a specific field (ie. Field: SharePoint Developer, Type: Preferred development languages).

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

I work as a government contractor and I am often looking for new opportunities. With ZipRecruiter's job notifications, I have greatly cut down the amount of time I have to spend scouring the internet for new opportunities. Not only am I saving time not scouring the internet and various job boards, but the screening process has been considerably reduced. I no longer have to wait weeks on end for feedback from my potential employer and ZipRecruiter even notifies me when the employer has looked at my resume, which gives me a general idea of their interest in me as a candidate!

"Easiest Way To Start A New Career"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Once you've uploaded your resume and information to this site; you'll have no problem with the 1-click apply button. It's by far one of the easiest ways to fill out dozens of applications in your field of work daily. They match up with jobs in your are in no time. I have an interview for a job I applied to yesterday. Being prompt is something I'm big on.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

It's really nothing negative to say about the site. It's insightful and resourceful. My son and niece could use it with no problem for sure.It's no way someone could say this was not by far one of the easiest application tools invited.

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

I'm starting work as soon as my interview is over. Believe it.

The User Interface is very easy to maneuver. The application process is simple and straight to the point.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Honestly I don't have any, nothing is perfect in this life but this is so close to it! I think the only thing would be it sometimes it gets laggy which is normal when you have tons of people on your servers just goes to show how amazing ZipRecruiter is!

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

I have learned even though experience is key, it's also your interview is important. Like they say, be so good they can't ignore you. If you can spot a hunger but you have lack of experience they can definitely negotiate and teach you.

"Zip Recruiter will get you HIRED!! "
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like that Hiring companies can find me along with me searching for a position in a company. I also love the fact that I can apply to jobs with just one click. I can attach my resume to an application. I get notifications when an employer has looked at my resume and application multiple times. I

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I don't really have anything that I don't like. I honestly can not think of one thing that I would change about the website.

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

I am solving the problem of needing a job with benefits. Its easy to apply to positions. I have been hired by an employer that uses ZipRecruiter on my last 2 jobs. I am trying to find a management position within a company. I want to find a company that has been around for a while so that I can trust that my job will be secure. Zip Recruiter makes it easy to search and learn about a company and position prior to applying. Job seekers can quickly apply and get hired. These are all benefits that help a job seeker like me.

As the title states, excellent job previews that are relevant and immediate status updates on all job applications. The app is fantastic!

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The only thing I would recommend is set hard parameters for jobs within the mileage limit if the applicant has set one, example, within 25 miles only. Also, if the salary range could be set more firmly for the jobs being presented.

"Analyze and link it your ATS system "
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Whenever we want to identify qualified applicants for our clients, our companies use ZipRecruiter for free job orders, as it gives us the capability to see all contact details. The application is very simple to use and is subject to a lot of summaries. You are more interested in getting the work out of view or providing direct answers to your position rather than building a massive list of applicants. Also, it's also able to deliver Vets Services, with vets or applicants in transition seeking positions in which they are accessible.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Being honest, there's nothing I dislike about ZipRecruiter. I definitely give it a 10 because I feel it's almost perfect.

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

We use ZipRecruiter to analyze our ATS system and link it, allowing monitoring data and contestant profiles simpler. It works as a work council for our different open posts and also as a great source point for reactive applicants in their very own online database. It provides us with another framework for nominees if in our administrative pool we don't have enough.

"I love ZipRecruiter and think it's the best place to find jobs!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

ZipRecruiter allows me to find exactly what I love to do. As a web designer and developer the job matches are exactly what I'm looking for and I love how they automatically find matches that are accurate to my skill set. Some sites match me with jobs I'm not skilled enough for and I can spend useless hours searching through job listings finding something that I am good at. ZipRecruiter makes it fast, easy and effective to find the jobs I am actually capable of doing and many are easy apply so I just click "1-click Apply" and that's it. My application is sent.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I think ZipRecruiter should have a job system more like Careerbuilder.com. Although their service is a great one, Careerbuilder.com has a very useful auto-apply feature that allows me to apply to hundreds of jobs all at once that are similar to the job I originally applied to. That makes it much easier to get my resume out there and more likely to be hired. I wish ZipRecruiter had a application feature like that.

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

ZipRecruiter is where I find many employers who like my profile and I find jobs there.

"I recommend ZipRecruiter to friends & clients frequently!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

What I truly love about ZipRecruiter is that it does what no other job search site does - it allows you to upload your resume and let companies come to you! This is perfect for the person who does not have time to be actively applying constantly, but is interested in new opportunities. I have found that other platforms that claim to do the same simply do not work as well. I get much more contact from recruiters through ZR than anywhere else.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The only downside of ziprecruiter is that, like many other job platforms, my resume often matches with jobs in the same field as me (healthcare) but they are not jobs I qualify for. This can sometimes be frustrating to have to filter out all of the irrelevant job postings.

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

Every job I have ever gotten in the last 3 years has been from ZipRecruiter. I have gotten salaries sent to me before applying (I have not found other platforms that give this option), I have been able to find very unique opportunities not posted ANYWHERE else, and I overall find the website very user friendly to navigate.

"Very Good Recruiting Tool"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

User friendly with great search parameters. Good job matching with listed skills and previous searches.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Too many emails in one day. Repeat jobs in subsequent emails. Should have a method of what jobs were looked at or clicked on so that those don’t appear in future searches. Jobs looked at previously should be in a separate section.

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

Easily able to connect with potential employers. Great Interface between prospective companies and employees, Easily able to apply and see current status of applications. Good record keeping of jobs one is interested in. Good matches.
