Probation Officer Judiciary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "#1 Job Website" August 18, 2022 5.0 ZipRecruiter is a fantastic site that is great to use for both applicants and recruiters. Applicants have a wide variety of job postings to choose from, while recruiters have the highest quality applicants to choose from. ZipRecruiter is simple to use, as anyone can easily use and understand the website. Pros ZipRecruiter allows companies to hire the best candidates possible. ZipRecruiter is very easy to use and has a very organized interface. The website displays a vast array of different jobs, allowing applicants to find the best suited job. ZipRecruiter is great for both recruiters and applicants, as I highly recommend anyone and everyone to use the site. Cons ZipRecruiter does not post to the biggest job boards similar to Indeed. However, the pros of using this site certainly outweigh the negatives. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) ZipRecruiter was easier to use and had the highest quality applicants and job postings.

Pros The best part about ZipRecruiter is that as an applicant you feel like your application is not being missed and is going out to all the right places. Cons ZipRecruiter does feel like it is catered to companies that are hiring, rather than the candidate, so many of the features are built for the hiring party. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) ZipRecruiter is more user friendly, and has better features.

Front Desk Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zip Recruiter " May 30, 2020 4.0 I have had an overall good experience, I have been using the software for 2+ years. Pros I like that I am able to post and search for jobs for free. Sometimes the company are looking for temporary workers, so I will go online to post job listings. I also, search myself for extra gigs. Cons I dislike that you have to be signed in, in order to complete an application. That is about it, nothing too major. Alternatives considered [CareerBuilder](https://www.capterra.com/p/148657/Talentstream-Recruit/) Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter Free of charge, popularized Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) I wanted to reach more clients, and also search for better gigs.

Director of Marketing Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Move Along!" October 17, 2018 2.0 Pros My favorite thing about ZipRecruiter, which is a stretch, is how easy it is to sign up to the platform. My review is based from a candidate perspective, and not an employer perspective, but much beyond the ease of signing up, I don't enjoy the platform. Cons Everything else. Seriously, I wouldn't recommend this platform to any employer or candidate. - The emails seem scammy. As a candidate, I get about three emails a day all of which have the same jobs that they sent me yesterday. For some reason, those same jobs never get filled... weird, huh? Not to mention, in the email, they have random things capitalized (super scammy). - Low quality of jobs. If you're an employer, there are much better job sites out there that don't seem more approachable and better for placing talent into jobs. So all in all, move along to the next platform. Cough (Glassdoor) cough. Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter October 19, 2018 Hi Dan, Thank you for your review as we greatly appreciate your feedback.

The system allows me to quickly and efficiently apply to jobs, notifies me when new similar positions are open, and even tells me if someone looked at my application. It makes me feel like I am in the know about the opportunities I have instead of me doing all the work myself. Pros I love using ZipRecruiter to find positions in certain fields in specific areas in the US. ZipRecruiter allows me to store my information in its system so that whenever I find a job that I like, I can go ahead and use my stored information to submit my application instead of having to re-type all my info. ZipRecruiter also contacts me via email with jobs similar to the one's I was looking at in the areas I was looking in via email so that I am up-to-date with the latest postings and can jump right on to those applications first. Super useful when looking for a job! Cons ZipRecruiter's algorithm to send and show you similar positions and roles can be very useful, but also very annoying. For example, if I type in a specific type of engineering in the search bar, ZipRecruiter sometimes spams me with emails about all types of engineering positions because their system only picked up the word "engineering" and not my specified kind of engineering. Can be very annoying to sift through all those emails and usually I end up deleting them without looking at them which defeats the purpose of them.

Pros It was extremely user friendly and flashy with it's design and layout. The customer advocates were knowledgeable and very quick to respond. Cons It was extremely expensive. Not only did you pay a regular fee you had to boost the posts so much that it was cost prohibitive and each conversation resulted in the advocate telling you to spend more money. When we were paying thousands and not receiving qualified candidates we pulled the plug.

December 3, 2019 5.0 Overall I have had a very positive experience with ZipRecruiter as both an Employer and Job Seeker. It makes it easy to search for and organize your candidate pool, and super easy to apply to a ton of jobs at once. I would highly recommend ZipRecruiter for either side of the industry! Pros I have great things to say about this product as both an Employer and Job Seeker. Employer: it's easy to sort, review, decline/accept applications. I love the ability to view everyone's resumes in one spot, and mark them off as yes, no, or maybe which is very helpful for when we're discussing a candidate with the team. The communication/messaging board is easy to use and we love having everything organized in one place. The email notifications can get a bit overwhelming, but you can easily turn those off. Job Seeker: this makes applying to jobs so quick and easy. I frequently utilized the "one-click apply" function and was able to massively increase my job search. Searching for remote jobs can be difficult since mostly Uber and Lyft jobs pop up, but after some digging you can really find what you're looking for. ZipRecruiter allowed me to apply to many more jobs more quickly than going through Indeed or LinkedIn. Cons As a Job Seeker, I had a harder time searching for Remote jobs. Mostly Uber and Lyft jobs showed up, since those companies posted the same job description for almost every single city in the US. So no matter where I searched, I was getting repeat job listings. I wish ZipRecruiter could recognize and delete duplicate listings, which would make it much easier for job seekers to find the real unique job postings.

It not only has great filters to put but also provides user-friendly graphics and easy to learn. There could be a filter on the years of experience of the profile, it would be really helpful. Pros I absolutely love using ZipRecruiter in my everyday recruiting activities of the appropriate candidates for the job openings we have.

Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter June 25, 2020 Thank you for your business and feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to give your review. We're glad to hear that you like how our platform makes hiring easier for you. We also understand that knowing the experience level of candidates is important. Job seekers do have the option to enter experience levels in their profile but are not required to. We recommend adding screening questions to your job post. For example, you can add a multiple choice screening question that asks "How many years of experience do you have in XYZ". The job seeker will have to answer this question when they apply.

Hire fast" November 30, 2022 5.0 Very easy to schedule interviews! Pros I really liked the advertising and pairing Zip uses to get applicants in a role they are suited for or interested in.

Homemaker Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ZipRecruiter " November 1, 2021 5.0 My overall experience with Ziprecruiter has been good. I completed my application and a couple days later I had an interview. Pros What I enjoy most about the software is the ease of use. The layout is easy to understand.

Review Source Mathieu G. innvestment company Capital Markets Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good aplication for jobs " November 14, 2021 4.0 I got a response really quick , the site was very efficient Pros I appreciate ZipRecruiter in light of the fact that it permits a simple application process once you are a record holder. The 1-click apply is exceptionally simple to utilize and just in specific cases are there extra subsequent inquiries. This stage is really proficient time savvy and permits me a ludicrous measure of various open positions. The profile is not difficult to set up, and in situations where I have applied to a task I have gotten an email or call from the organization in no time. Cons The main con I found with this product is truly one that is self-inflicted and can without much of a stretch be wound down with the snap of a mouse. What's more, that is when Zip spotter finances a place that is dependent on your resume and your own inclinations. It cut to the chase where my telephone was ceaselessly dinging or vibrating to tell me that a task was accessible that coordinated with my inclinations. Review Source Alison M. Freelance/Affiliate Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Find your next job with ZipRecruiter" September 16, 2021 5.0 I have found many job opportunities in my area through this site and plan to continue to use ZipRecruiter to find future employment.

This tool saves me at least 10 minutes per job application as I do not need to enter all of my contact info, employment history, skills, education, references, etc. into yet another form page. I can just click apply, answer a couple of qualifying questions and be done with it! Pros I love that I can fill in all of my information ONE TIME and apply away to my heart's content, knowing that all of my data is in the appropriate discrete fields for the reviewer to analyze. So much time spent applying for jobs is wasted filling in the exact same data into the form fields of dozens of applicant management/tracking systems, and this tool helps eliminate that waste. It's great that the tool automatically recommends related jobs I may be interested in as well! Cons They send a MASSIVE amount of emails by default. I was receiving close to 10 per day for all of the job alerts I may be interested in. This is excellent in a way, and it very well could have been because I missed some setting somewhere, but I had to tone it down a lot. A few of the job recommendations that are sent over are inaccurate. For example, if I was interested in "Systems Administrator" it would occasionally recommend "Administrative Assistant" - I'd say only about 1 out of 30 jobs were like this though.
