"Longtime ZipRecruiter User since at least 2012"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The most helpful thing or features about ZipRecruiter is that it's quick, it's fairly simple to use and once you set up your profile, you will receive numerous positions that match your skill-set. Next, once you get the various lists/notifications, there is an option to do a 1-click Apply. Who could ask for more?!

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

This is a tough question, as there's not too much to dislike about ZR, as it seems to find and present a candidate with lots of great job leads yet have found that like CareerBliss and JJ Jobs are also good resources when searching for a new position. My only real complaint, which I just entered on the official ZipRecruiter survey is that they seem, at least in my city or area, to list a lot of companies that are just looking for raw skill people and not those with any particular skill sets or degrees.

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

Currently, I don't have any problems or issues that I am solving with ZipRecruiter, as I'm still employed with the same company that I started with a year ago but am checking out local labor market ;'). The benefits I have realized with Zip is an incredible sense of competence due to how they tell you how close of a match u are to each position you apply to and, some hope or optimism from the fact that they seem to have 1000's of jobs listed every week!

Even though we get fewer candidates from ZipRecruiter than other job boards, the candidates we do get are all quality candidates. It allows us to get to a hirer much faster.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Navigation is little hard to get use to.

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

Hard-to-fill vacancies in a timely manner. Miguel C helped resolve my billing issues very easily.

"A fantastic way to find new hires"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like that zip recruiter pairs you with the best possible candidates and doesn't wait for them to apply to your position. When we post jobs to ZipRecruiter, we oftentimes get hits right away. It seems that ZipRecruiter attracts applicants more than CareerBuilder or monster directly.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The jobs are not always up to date and often job posting are expired. The jobs they recommend for me are sometimes not accurate and I can get a request to apply for a job that is not in an area I wanted.

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

ZipRecruiter is a great way to get a job out there and look for new people to join your team. Within hours of posting a job, there have always been many applicants. ZipRecruiter consolidates it all into one space and allows for quick access to all applicants.

"Great platform, a bit expensive"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The number of candidates and ease of tracking the candidates.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

It is expensive. Less expensive than the big job boards, but too high for small businesses. I wish they had some smaller packages.

"Excellent bang for the buck."
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

With one posting, you can get your jobs out on over a hundred job boards, including SimplyHired, Glassdoor and the ZipRecruiter job board (which is becoming a decent board itself). To be fair, many of the 100+ job boards ZipRecruiter touts are small, niche and you've probably never heard of them, but the few big boards make it worth the price of admission. The resume database is a great tool as well, allowing you to instantly view resumes and contact information for candidates (though the new search functionality makes it a bit annoying for boolean users). The backend and administration are intuitive and it takes no time to get up and running. Another one of our favorite features is the Job Widget. The Job Widget allows you to just copy and paste a snippet of code on to your website to display all of your ZipRecruiter positions, if you're looking for a quick and easy way to get your job listings on your website, it doesn't get any quicker or easier than the Job Widget.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Once upon a time, ZipRecruiter counted Indeed among their arsenal of job boards. It was one of the factors that drew us to ZipRecruiter in the first place. However, a few years ago ZipRecruiter cut ties with Indeed. Immediately after, the quantity and quality of candidates decreased. Indeed is the largest job board/aggregator out there, so it was a huge loss. Fortunately for ZipRecruiter their service is enough of a bargain that it was worth staying on. I will say that the account managers at ZipRecruiter will constantly try and push their "TrafficBoosts" on you, which are in no way worth the asking price.

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

Job postings on multiple job boards, displaying open positions on our website, searching for candidates in the resume database.

"Job Hunting"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Zip recruiters helps to streamline the process of finding a job by connecting the employee in need of employment or looking for potential job options a great place to look for high quality employers as well as, many different type of job opportunities.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

Zip recruiters employee a platform that allows for streamlining the process of finding a job; however, some of the help wanted ads are large recruiting companies looking to build up list of potential employees without there really being any open positions. Emails with potential jobs filled with ads, making it hard to read.

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

The problem solved is the easy a which a employee is able to look for work in multiple fields, offer new insight into the jobs available in the market.

"ZipRecruiter Changing again but not for the best"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The best thing about ZipRecruiter is the invite to apply on job ads. It jump-starts your ability to reach candidates you think might be qualified based on a limited amount of information provided. I also like being able to add prescreening questions and being able to message candidates on the platform.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

With the newest changes to ZipRecruiter, it is becoming increasingly expensive to place ads for the response rates reveived. There are repetitive sales calls and demands for follow-up calls pushing you to purchase more add ons like boosts and bigger ad packages. Now they are changing their service again and have begun charging for the invite to apply. They are making their service even more expensive for people in order actually to attract candidates. To me, they are quickly moving to a point where the value in their basic general ads and resume database is not worth the expense. Also, you get tons of candidates nowhere near qualified for the ad you placed in both applicants and suggested applicants to invite to apply. So, in summary, you now need to purchase a package (averaging over $100-$125/per job slot per month) then pay for invites to apply, job boosts ($120-$220 per job and are limited to 100 or 200 extra candidates), and additional resume database if needed over the basic amount that comes with your package.

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

I use ZipRecruiter because it does reach a broader audience than other job boards, but because of the negatives listed, I am looking for alternatives.

"Great, with some kinks"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like how easy you can Zip. It is very well made and built. It moves fast and yields great results.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

What I dislike is how hard it is to search for a candidate. If i saw resume and for some reason moved on and now i want to go back, i look by name and i get candidates with completely different names. Their search engine could be improved.

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

Zip has resulted in great candidates for me to place. It is very convenient and offers multiple methods for contact.

"Great way to find specific, well qualified applicants"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like that we are able to review candidates resumes and rate them. This allows for the flow of more qualified applicants. I think this would be ideal for companies or employers that are seeking to find applicants with certain qualifications and experience. I loved the ease of posting a job...It was super easy!

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I do find that ZipRecruiter wasn't the best at finding people in remote areas but this may also not be ziprecruiters fault. I do not think Zip is the most cost efficient way to recruit for what I needed. For my company, we were looking for seasonal part time workers that don't need very niche experiences.

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

We are able to find few applicants in areas that we had no applicants in other job search engines such as Indeed or Craigslist. I do see that ZipRecruiter would be beneficial when we are searching for a manager or upper level positions that we have available.

"ZipRecruiter Review by Jazmine "
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like the ease of navagating the site. It is very user friendly and easy to understand. I also like that you only pay as you need the services you can pay for a month and then you can stop until you have open position again.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I didn't like that there is only one user login name and password per company. Which means if the admissions has an opening and financial aid has opening as well they both are using the same login information to view potential candidates.

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

Ability to cut time in finding right person for the position. This cuts down on having to go through many applicants that are just not qualified for position. Saves time and ability to hire much quicker
