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

Zip recruiter is great when it works properly. It can save time with finding resume but I do have a lot of problems with it

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

It really bothers me that there is not a flip view to view resumes, it takes a lot of time to open the resume and then click back to search results for the next resume. Also I do not like that I can't paste my whole booleen search because at lot of the candidates that come up in my search are not retentive. I also don't like that I can't copy and paste the resume into Bullhorn but I have to download it first and save it. It just wastes more time.

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

At this time I feel like zip waste's more time than it actually helps but if they changed a few things it could be more useful

"Free product is great, but if you sign up they sneak over $500 per month charges"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Easy to use, clean interface, and it seems like a lot of people go there looking for a job.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Deceptive, sneaky, poor business practices. They get you to sign up for a trial and then hit your credit card for $500 plus another $100 or so, and then you are on for a monthly dues at that rate. And worse, I paid all that and got 0 good candidates.

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

We solved no problems, I used Workable and Indeed and got lots of results. Zip Recruiter ripped me off and didn't provide a single good candidate.

"Be aware of low conversion of applicants!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Not sure really. I dislike more things than like.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The conversion of clicks is so low for what that you pay, £99 for a listing is a robbery! They do not have claimed traffic and people seeking job which they do advertise, apparently they have huge base, 2 clicks for the whole time is a laugh. Don't waste your money on job posting here, free options do have more conversions.

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

Nothing for me unfortunatelly

"Unethical billing practices"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

There was a decent volume of applicants and a few were qualified.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Their billing practices are shady and dishonest. They do not warn you about trial periods ending, they will not notify you upon your billing starting, and they are absolutely unwilling to rectify any billing errors no matter the financial impact on those that they have unwittingly charged. Their customer service is unfriendly, and has been trained to reply with canned responses of the ToS, and are mostly combative.

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

Filling my recruiting pipeline. There was an occasional well qualified candidate.

"NOT GOOD FOR SOURCING"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

It is good for applying for new roles on the candidate side. I have used it for that previously.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Honestly, most of it. The search functionality in the resume database is TERRIBLE. I am a technical recruiter, and you can not even search with booleans. It is terrible. I have to use 1 keyword, and even then, it sucks. It seems their algorithms are messed up or inaccurate. They also almost doubled their price overnight. You also can not search by location effectively 100+ miles is so misleading. I do not suggest

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

well, we thought posting ads there and pulling candidates' resumes off there would be of benefit. but as of this month as a company, we will no longer use ZipRecruiter

"Be careful, and keep away!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

They welcomed me with a trial period, they were very kind while getting you in.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I have a small business and wanted to hire only one person. I tried ZipRecruiter. They welcomed me with a trial period, they were very kind while getting you in. I tried for a week, but the candidates do not fit much and I wanted to cancel my membership but my credit card was charged ($192.00). They do not warn me. I requested a refund but they did not listen, and they were not kind either. Be careful, and keep away!

I have tried hiring for my small business

"Worst experience ever."
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Absolutely nothing, I currently have nothing good to say about ZipRecruiter.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Incredibly high prices, Prices based on days displayed regardless if anyone sees it or not, No customer service, under qualified applicants, no views of posted job.

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

Worst company to ever post a job. Posted a good sales position, received 2 under qualified applicants and a total of 32 view with charges over $1500 because they switched us to a premium account with double checking. They did not reach out to us and tell us our ad was not performing at all and refused to refund us even though we didn't even receive one qualified applicant. Don' t even consider using ZipRecruiter.

They harass me with free trial offers in the mail, which is great.

"Not my favorite"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The platform was clean and easy to use.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I have used many recruiting tools and this was by far the worst at giving me any results. I think I maybe got two page views for the ad I posted.
