"I was able to apply for the jobs I want instantly!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

How easy it is to find out and read about new job I can try for! The application process is just one click of the button away from my new future. Much easier than Indeed.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I wish I could upload a picture of my resume, but I also understand why I can not. I do get recommendations that aren't exactly in my area of expertise. Maybe add knowledge check tests?

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

After transffering to a new state ziprecruiter is helping me find a new job in my new area so I can financially support myself and my family. I can't wait to explore all my options.

What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Applying for jobs is quick and easy. It's like throwing spaghetti against the wall your general resume works sometimes and fits but other times it is not as efficient.

I wish you could use different resumes depending on the position, but that is what Linkedin is for. ZipRecruiter is quick and efficient.

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

I am able to get my resume out very quickly to multiple companies with one singe click.

"Great Job Matches!"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The most helpful part of ZipRecruiter is that you can connect your LinkedIn account which helps populate most all job applications saving you precious time better spent looking to land that perfect job!

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The only downside of ZipRecruiter is when they labels certain jobs "not a match" which could discourage some from applying, but it also saves you time on a quick search for the best suited jobs.

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

ZipRecruiter is saving me precious time better spent looking for the perfect job by linking directly to my LinkedIn account. Filling out multiple job applications in a single day is too time consuming otherwise.

"Great for job searching/recruiting"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I believe I put in a yearly pay range, in my profile, but I do receive posts that pay $16-$18 hourly.

"Nice and Easy"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

Quick and Easy process with some feed back in the process. I enjoy the simplicity of the search and the quick application for most jobs. The email alerts and ease of use on the app is fantastic for staying on top of new opportunities.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I have not experienced very many downsides. Im not sure if this exists but it would be nice to upload a couple of different resumes for someone ready to move on from their current position but contemplating a potential switch into a different industry.

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

It makes it very easy to stay up to date on new opportunities in the marketplace and apply when you see something that fits your criteria. I also love that it reccomends similar positions to ones that maybe fit your resume or that you've already applied for.

"Zip through applications, made easy"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like ZipRecruiter best because ZipRecruiter has features that are more up-to-date than other career search sites. For example, ZipRecruiter generates matches in the suggested column, and most of the suggestions have responded quickly to set up an interview.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

I am not in favor of some of the required questionnaires on applications. I wish there was a way to know how many questions need to be answered before submitting the application.

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

ZipRecruiter is doing better with uploading new positions. Some days have repeat postings or postings that are not a match. Most postings are a match and have detailed descriptions.

What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

The one-click apply is a great feature and smart apply as well.

The AI still needs some programming. I get jobs that I am extremely over qualified for. It would be great if you are able to group more than one city in the job search.

The time it takes to apply to multiple positons has been greatly cut. The feedback is instant and keeps me informed about the application stages.

I am treated like I am one of there is no way I am leaving without a job which means a lot if you are out looking for something new. I do not know if any other site treats you like that.

The recruiter helps by staying on your side, enabling you to get a job. It helps me or anyone else receives a job offer.

"Zip recruiter helped me get my dream job"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

It makes applying for multiple jobs super easy and also allows you more opportunity to find jobs you wouldn't usually think of and you end up with new experience.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

There aren't many things I would have to say that are negative about zip recruiter other than sometimes they give you jobs that are repeated or not in your category of experience. Also the scammers are starting to get really bad.

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

It has helped connect me to potential jobs and people I wouldn't under normal circumstances look into or even entertain the idea of applying to. And that alone gives you more experience even if its just going to the interview itself.

What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

They give you recommendations for other jobs you would fit well with based on your profile and previous applications you have submitted. It makes looking for jobs you would be interested in applying for super easy.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The only thing that would be a downside to using ZipRecruiter would be that there are so many jobs you fit well with and want to apply to, you dont have the time to do it.

They help me by matching me with positions that fit the experience I have and what I am looking for in my next job. The resume builder helps take away the stress of making one and making sure it is one that you can be proud of and know that it will help you stand above the crowd.
