"Efficent"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

When I opened up the site, entered my information, they sent me accurate location and occupation job options. Usually I am sent options not specific to my location or job skills. The site is easy to navigate and you don't have to add certain information in order to progress through to the next question. Many sites require you to fill in information before you can proceed. Like salary information or specific dates of employment. When I see this I close out of the site. Adding this information puts you at a disadvantage. I then proceed directly to the company website if I am interested in the position.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I dislike if I have to answer specific questions in order to progress to complete the application.

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

At this time I have no problems and it is too early to see benefits.

"Easy to Use and Great Leads"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like how fast and easy ZipRecruiter is. It can be used on a laptop/PC or on the app on your smartphone. 1-tap applications makes it quick and easy to apply. I also like that good jobs are suggested to me daily and they pop up as phone notifications, so I don't have to go searching for jobs all the time.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

So far, I haven't noticed any real downsides of using ZipRecruiter. My experience has been very positive.

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

Job searching and applying for jobs can be very time-consuming. ZipRecruiter makes it quick and easy to apply. Other sites only send email notifications, but with ZipRecruiter I get notifications right on my phone. This seems to make it easier for me to apply.

"Job offers according to my professional growth plans"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Job offers near the place where I reside. It offers me company information. I have an email response. I can have information on the companies that request professionals like me, their location and the type of clients they have. Companies can see my resume and my cover letter. I can make multiple requests and very quickly. It tells me in what percentage my skills and experiences coincide with the employment they offer.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Many people trying to make scams. You have to be careful. the emails where job offers arrive that do not match what I am looking for or my profession. Sometimes many emails arrive every day with the same job offers, an email once a day or three times a week I think is enough.

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

Promote my creative talents as an illustrator / designer. I can have information on the companies that request professionals like me, their location and the type of clients they have. Companies can see my resume and my cover letter. I can make multiple requests and very quickly. It tells me in what percentage my skills and experiences coincide with the employment they offer.

"It has been a very helpful tool in my job hunting."
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Like a lot of other job boards you set up a profile and you will get emails or notifications that you match a job. However, with ZipRecruiter you have the option of one-click apply. This is an awesome feature that saves time and you can apply to a lot of different jobs in a short amount of time. The process of setting up your profile is easy and it helps guide you through it. It also gives you pointers on how to make you stand out.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Something I don't like is you will get a lot of jobs that have nothing to do with your background. Or you will get a notification that a job is a great fit, and you don't meet the requirements. Sometimes this will happen a few days in a row and it makes it's hard to filter through what is a good match and what is not. Other than that I don't have any other complaints about ZipRecruiter.

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

Some of the problems that ZipRecruiter has helped me with is, finding jobs. I know that sounds simple, but trying to find jobs out there is kind of hard when you don't know where to look. ZipRecruiter has made it easy to find them, more like they show you a list of jobs. One of my problems when I first started job hunting was not knowing where to look and ZipRecruiter has solved that for me.

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

ZipRecruiter is fast, hassle free and was simple to get my profile and resume online. I appreciate the follow up emails that follow my progress and send me reminders of what action to be taking.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I would like to see an upload location on your profile for a Cover Letter. I think that the email marketing can be over bearing at times, keep emails coming but make sure they are very specific and that there is more purpose behind them.

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

It has been an easy way for me to get all of my information in one location for employers to find me. I am trying to get into a new career field and ZipRecruiter is platform that is helping take my dream and making it a reality.

"ZipRecruiter is a helpful resource"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

They made my job search easier last time around when I was looking for a job in sales. Now I am looking for a technical writer job. The interface with ZipRecruiter is simple and effective and it's a graet tool for the job hunt. ZipRecruiter makes it very easy to apply for a multitude of different jobs. The One-Click apply feature works well.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Didn't always narrow down my search by geographical location and/or job type correctly. Looking at technnical writer jobs sometimes I ended up in things like Desktop OS/Software support. It seems like the interface makes it easy to end up on other job sites like Monster without realizing it, not a huge thing but it tends to happen and that can be annoying.

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

There are so many applications to fill out when looking for a job, ZipRecruiter made it quicker and easy to search through the pile. Doing research about different kinds of jobs is easy on ZipRecruiter, the descriptions are well written and direct. At my last job I became a sales manager, now I have very transferrable skills that I can use at a multitude of jobs.

"Loving it!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Good positions with lots of information available that are not necessarily found in other platforms. I was referred to the platform by another recruiter who was using it prior to us coming into the role we are in now. When I found out my contract was not going to extend, she immediately showed me ZipRecruiter and told me that it was a lifesaver during her time of trying to find a job. So far, I'm enjoying it as well and am looking forward to finding a good job through here. I also like that I can search for jobs and save jobs from multiple locations and I'm not tied down to just searching for one area.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I haven't seen any yet as I am new the website. From what I can gather in the short time that I have been on the site is that they are putting their good jobs for candidates out there and are able to help them find jobs that are valuable versus a job that is just meant to pipeline candidates. Unfortunately you run into that too often and it's frustrating.

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

For me, it's finding good jobs instead of the one off jobs that other sites post and then you either never hear from or they were just using it for metrics. These don't seem like bait and switch tactics that others have used, or at least it hasn't happened yet.

What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like that ZipRecruiter's application process to the sponsored jobs is straight to the point. Upload your resume once, and all it takes is a singe click to apply to each job.

I have yet to experience any dislikes, so far. But, I would like to see more of the job description and company info before clicking.

"Great website and Focused Job Recommendations"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like the layout and the website's ease of use. It's easy to find jobs that you saved previously and go back to apply for the ones that interest you the most. I appreciated that I did not consistently get job recommendations that were outside of my specifications. And I found the mobile app convenient and easy to use.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The 1-Click feature is appealing, but it apparently does not provide the potential employer enough information. I had to re-apply for positions that I had previously 1-Click-ed.

"Assisted me with a new career path"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I love how I can change and edit my resume although I may have already sent it over. No other website allows that! Also, each company lists their skills that they would like for each candidate to have. This makes it a lot easier because as fast as they look at our resume, is the same pace that we can look at the skills and not have to worry about searching for a job description.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Although it is out of our control, I dislike how most jobs do not post any listings here. This is the easiest job site that I've ever been on!

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

No problems that I am aware of. I've picked up on looking at each jobs recommended skills and that has helped me hear back from more companies. Never knew that I could edit my resume so easily with what each job is looking for in a candidate and it makes it much easier on me, if I do possess those traits but are not able to think of them while working on my resume!

"A new window of opportunity is there"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The platform is very user-friendly. It felt easy to navigate and fill in the information requested. I also really liked the design and colors. It made me feel like a game. And because it is easy to navigate, I felt more prompted to access it every day. I also really like the 1-click apply button because it makes job applications way easier.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Maybe too many messages. And maybe some positions feel like pyramid schemes or not genuine enough, but you will only discover that after interviews. I can give an example that has happened to me. Company name FBC - Florida Business Consulting. The job description has lots of descriptions, but everything sounds vague. Until you get there and learn you will be a salesperson with commission only and several goals to achieve in order to progress and "open" your own team.

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

Well, It has helped me move my energies towards my goal of finding a job. It helps me understand what the employers are looking for. Also, it makes me feel closer to employers around me and where I am located.

"1 Click Apply"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Being able to see multiple jobs in my area that's become available, and being able to apply to them with one click!

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Jobs (Outside of sales) seldom respond with follow up or feedback on the status of your application.

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

Location-based employment condensed into a single search platform. The benefit of having employment opportunities at my fingertips is priceless!
