Paralegal Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zip Recruiter is a winner!" June 15, 2023 5.0 Zip recruiter has allowed me to apply for several positions over the years in just moments. It is a huge timesaver when applying for multiple positions. Pros I love the resume and one click feature. I do not have to consistently retype my resume for each position that I apply to. Cons I have no complaints about this website. Review Source Syed Aamir A. IT Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome Human Resource Management Sofware" August 30, 2021 5.0 Pros Awesome features and interface for managing a corporate level HR management. Cons Nothing four but improvement is always needed. 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. Pros I like the ease of submitting your resume to many different job listings in your are with such ease. Cons I would like a place set up for all the applications that one has submitted and their status such as make phone call or keep interview appointment, etc. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Application Support Team Lead Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Makes job hunting easy" December 4, 2019 4.0 I love that it (usually) intelligently recommends jobs for me based on my skills and resume. 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.

Freelancer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very intuitive and useful to use and to rely on" November 16, 2022 5.0 I myself love it because I have created long-lasting friendships and clients this way. Pros The best stage for the jobseeker and businesses. Most simple and straightforward interaction. I firmly allude to this stage to all occupation searchers on the planet. I have joined this astounding stage and my experience is extremely sure. Cons Spotters ought to can check whether a competitor has previously been reached. A few competitors apply to a few vacant situations with our organization and we have various scouts reaching a similar up-and-comer. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A little slow to post data--Its often stale information--Needs improvement for ease of use" February 15, 2020 2.0 Carrer search and job notification tool and mechanism, but often too late to the game to be of any real help. Many of not most of the listings are scrapes from other sites and posting and are too late to be of help. Pros Easy to check postings, but often they are stale; Having Phone, mobile and desktop versions is helpful. Cons too many emails, not enough description in emails to learn of its a requested search result, or a AI-driven announcement. So not easy or clear way for user to fine-tune emails and search reports. Not enough AL to take your job targets and only send you titles you desire, plus maybe one step removed in type of job. The quick apply using a folio of pre-submitted resume and materials is too loose and not offered enough. Needs an auto-building system for custom resumes ad custom cover letters to adjust for each application by the end-user. This is the killer feature they are missing.

Managers of all size organizations utilize this site to connect with job applicants and fill vacant positions. Pros ZipRecruiter is a Web-based stage that streamlines the general enlisting process. It empowers associations to post employments to many occupation sheets with a single tick, and clients can deal with all candidates through an easy to understand online interface.

Creative Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic Platform for Finding Relevant Jobs" June 25, 2020 5.0 Time is money and wasted opportunities are mitigated with how easy it is to set up a profile and apply for jobs! Pros ZipRecruiter is a fantastic solution to wasting time filling out form after form, upload after upload of resumes. They make it simple with their 1-Click Apply feature. That's all it really takes, and you're done! Their emails are relevant and detailed to better educate me on open positions and required qualifications. Cons It's actually my preferred job board for ease-of-use alone. I wish all other platforms were more like ZipRecruiter. If I had any complaint it would be to please make other platforms just as great. Alternatives considered [CareerBuilder](https://www.capterra.com/p/148657/Talentstream-Recruit/) Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter The other products are fine. Glassdoor is a very close second choice for ease of use, but not all job postings keep you in Glassdoor. They give the option to link out to the company's site. Which I deplore. ZipRecruiter keeps you in the platform, and negates the need to re-enter so much information! Switched from [CareerBuilder](https://www.capterra.com/p/148657/Talentstream-Recruit/) I used it once, and never looked back. I was skeptical of my first email and their 1-Click Apply button, but I tried it, and guess what? I applied for the job with one click. Imagine that? Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter June 29, 2020 Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words, Nicholas! We appreciate you allowing ZipRecruiter to be a part of your job search journey. Keep on 1-click applying! --TC RR Ronn R. Maintenance Technician Facilities Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Recruitment process made easy" October 16, 2021 5.0 using this app made the typical long interviewing and hiring process into an online step-by-step and organized job posting board. definitely recommend this app Pros Resume parsing, automated storage, organization and analysis of job resumes, are the strong points of this app. Cons There are actually no cons for this app since it is simple, useful, and very user friendly. this is just perfect. Review Source Whitney S. Development Associate Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zip Recruiter Review" May 7, 2019 5.0 I think it is a good tool to use whether you are looking for a job or looking for someone to fill your job opening within your organization! Pros I have used this software on both sides of the coin. I have used it as someone looking for a job, and also as someone who was looking for an employee for a job I was currently employed too. From the looking for a job stand point, I think this software is very helpful. Actually, the interviews that I got while looking for a job were from organizations reaching out to me on Zip Recruiter, not me sending in my resume to organizations. I really like that the organization has to reach out to you, then you know they are really interested and you are not just sending your resume into someone who already has their candidate picked for their job. Cons On the side of looking for someone from inside an organization, I have found it somewhat difficult to teach older generations how to use the software. It is very opposite of what they have in their mind when it comes to finding someone to fill a job opening. They have a hard time approaching people instead of the candidates coming to apply. Alternatives considered [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter The difference of us approaching a candidate and them not seeking us. Review Source JC Joyce C. data entry Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ZipRecruiter Review" June 19, 2023 5.0 Many thanks, for your outstanding client support and commitment to assisting me with accomplishing my objectives. You are a genuine resource for your organization and illustrate what extraordinary client care resembles. Pros I utilized this application while looking for responsibilities to find out about what was accessible and it was an extraordinary device. It had excellent portrayals of occupations and connected to associate you with the divisions to apply. What's more, it additionally tells me through email when it has something best for me it coordinates me with the ideal positions and is near and dear as well." Cons A portion of the positions may be more seasoned, or be filled in if the data set isn't refreshed Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Production Assistant Fine Art Used the software for: 2+ years ### "good to look through options, very rarely are options relevant" December 3, 2018 3.0 with the application's prominent 1-click apply feature and job alerts, it's pretty simple to use. i only wish the search results were better tailored to my skill set. i will continue to use it with the hopes that it gets better. Pros in conjunction with being able to advertise myself as a potential employee, ziprecruiter sends me alerts when an employer has viewed my application. Cons with all the job openings that show up when using the app, very few of them are positions that are in my field. I am often searching for long periods of time before i see anything remotely related to what i'm searching for.

Owner Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZIPrecruiter has become one of the better online job sites" December 6, 2018 4.0 As an employer, knowing that we would be getting about 3 times the # of resumes as we would usually gave us a better chance of finding the right candidate if we could give each resume the time it deserved. Pros ZIPrecruiter is easy to use both from the employer perspective and the job searcher. It has taken the model of Monster and Career Builder of old, kept the good - discarded the bad, and today represents one of the better options out there whether you are hiring or trying to be hired. . As an employer, you will get a lot of results so stay organized and efficient to maximize the tool. Cons The characteristics that make ZR so good are the same things that can make it difficult to manage. Ease of use for employee-hopefuls allows them to sling out resumes at a record speed. This can create feeling overwhelmed with the process and if you aren't careful, you will find yourself moving through resumes just to finish. For job seekers, you may feel like you got a lot of resumes out but quantity may not trump quality. Review Source Gregg C. President/CEO Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Best Recruiting Platform For Businesses Of All Sizes" August 31, 2021 4.0 We have tried Indeed, and LinkedIn Jobs and found that ZipRecruiter is the best platform for job postings and we have successfully hired great people. Pros It's the most user friendly. The template for posting positions is well thought out. Cons The ZipRecruiter salespeople are constantly hounding us about our postings. Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter It was reasonably priced and we run multiple postings, Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Media Buyer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Narrows down the field effectively" December 4, 2018 3.0 Pros We are a small company, so departments handle their own hiring, and run everything by HR at the very end. Have used zip recruiter because we find with some of the smaller jobs we try to hire for we get a multitude of people that apply without even reading the job description. They see buyer, assume its a merchandising job, and suddenly we get people who want to work in fashion, which we definitely do not. Zip recruiter does allow us to see applicants that make the most sense in an easy to use dashboard. We definitely see a lot less "incomplete" resumes. For instance no resumes with one line, or missing things like work experiences or education or contact information. Also able to search by keyword through resumes, which is nice if we ant to see if they have broadcast experience or something else that would be listed. Cons Due to the fact that we are a small company that hires very rarely, it's not always the most cost effective way to go about searching for someone to hire.

Registered nurse Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Relevant Matches & Quality connections" February 26, 2021 4.0 I have been using ZipRecruiter for many years now but it wasn't until recently when I decided to update my profile and be serious about my ziprecruiter profile did I finally see the true value in the software. I never had much success nor have I really tried with ziprecruiter but when I put the time and effort in the rewards were substantial. The daily job alerts were geared towards me and my job search/criteria... the leads put me in touch with companies that I had not been aware of prior to ziprecruiter... additionally I was put out there for companies to contact me which was a nice surprise and a change of pace rather than constantly chasing down companies that you were trying to get into. Pros I really enjoyed the robust Network of companies that ZipRecruiter connected me with. Additionally, the accuracy and consistency in the zip recruiter matching between myself and actively recruiting companies was a pleasant surprise Cons The layout and look are slightly dated and cumbersome to manage. I've also found it difficult to return to previously viewed job openings once I had left that page if I forgot to add things to my favorites sometimes they would just be gone forever. Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter March 2, 2021 Thank you so much for sharing your valuable feedback and Zip experience, Brian!

January 7, 2024 5.0 Pros I love how it takes care of the steps that don’t need to be done by a person so we can do more with less work! Cons Sometimes it isn’t as personable as I would like. Review Source Eman J. Recruiting Coordinator Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZipRecruiter is the best job board out there!" August 30, 2018 5.0 If you are having time in recruiting IT or Executive positions, ZipRecruiter is the best companion to guide and help you! Pros I have been using ZipRecruiter as one of my alternative sourcing tool in recruiting. ZipRecruiter makes it easier for me to finish the candidate search, because once you post your job opening in ZipRecruiter it will open a great door to receiving a lot of candidates. ZipRecruiter is very helpful because some great fits doesn't have any linkedin accounts so ZipRecruiter enabled me to connect with them. What I also like about ZipRecruiter is the ability to indicate a follow up question to the applicants by just merely provisioning it on ZipRecruiter which is every helpful for me in avoiding phone interviews to prospect candidates - saves my time! Cons I don't have anything negative to comment regarding ZipRecruiter. Maybe one that they can improve on is putting templates or design that those who are subscribed on their platform can make their job posting nice and compelling! Review Source TE Terry E. Not working Judiciary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Job seekers " August 16, 2022 4.0 Overall it's been a good experience and I continue to still receive alerts/ notifications for new opportunities on a regular basis. Pros The PROS with this product is that allows you to get notifications of jobs that you're interested in without going to the website continuously. Cons One of the cons on this product is sometimes they are not that accurate as far as the positions that you may be interested. Review Source AS Amanda S. Clerical Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not as helpful as I thought" December 31, 2018 4.0 While zip recruiter did help me find many job postings, the postings that came up in my searches did not always apply to the position that I was looking for nor did they necessarily apply to the search dates and I was therefor often shown postings for jobs that were more than a month old and would likely not even be available anymore. The site was not nearly as helpful in finding a job as I thought it would be. Pros ZipRecruiter is easy to use and it does provide a decent amount of employment opportunity postings. Cons My biggest issue with ZipRecruiter is the reliability of the employment opportunities listed. Many times I have seen job postings and clicked on them only to find that they were actually misleading staffing agency postings that were posted in order to lure people into applying for a job that did not exist. Also, I did often find job postings that did not fit within the search range that I had put in as far as the date of the job posting was concerned. Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter January 2, 2019 Hi Amanda, Thank you for the time you've taken to provide us with your valuable feedback.

Kind Regards, Tier III Support VR Verified Reviewer Founder Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Benefits of using ZipRecruiter" December 18, 2021 4.0 The tool also helps employers find talent faster. The platform's extensive database of jobs allows you to post your job and see applicants' profiles. Moreover, you can post your jobs through social networking websites, too. The website also lets you screen job postings and adds an interactive chat function. In addition, it allows you to share your job postings on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Pros Using the platform to post jobs is a great idea for small businesses looking to expand their reach. The website provides over 30 job categories for small businesses, which means you can easily find the right role for your company. As a result, it can attract thousands of candidates for your job. This is great news for small businesses looking to expand their hiring strategies. The platform is also easy to use and intuitive to use. The service also features an auto-reply feature. Cons The software is not particularly comprehensive. A simple search will yield results with a few dozen jobs. In addition, the platform does not provide any filters, so users need to know their search criteria before beginning. Some job listings are spam or outdated, and the platform's listings can be difficult to weed through. Some of its downsides include the lack of features and low-quality information. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Analyst Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ziprecruiter: As A Job Marketing Platform for Advertisers in Programmatic" July 30, 2019 2.0 Ziprecruiter was used in a programmatic buy in order to post job ads for some particular clients. However, the simplicity of the product didn't allow for optimization and slow response times led this to be a somewhat back burner type of platform. To elaborate, the importance of Ziprecruiter in overall buys was thought as 3rd tier and was usually an afterthought where if there was extra budget, this avenue would be explored. The performance was generally lower as well compared to the other larger job aggregate sites. Pros The dashboard was simple, hence it was easy to navigate and use. It was by far the simplest one to navigate through between the big job posting programmatic platform: Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster, and Ziprecruiter. However, this easiness of navigation and usage also comes with its own drawbacks. Cons The simplicity was both positive and negative. From a negative perspective, the dashboard simply displayed basic metrics and there isn't a section on the backend to manually pull any levers to increase performance or test out optimizations. If changes were needed to be made, this always required reaching out to a rep which would be tedious since their response times were slow and they generally gave very basic suggestions. Review Source CB Chris B. Facilities Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great but check the filters" October 9, 2020 3.0 Overall they do a very good job and I am always wondering how many people that my resume even makes it to. They say that employers "see" my resume but I don't know if they just get an email or actually read what I put. So you are never really sure if you are just spinning your wheels. Pros This is a great tool to see what jobs are available in your area or others. The description for each job is very good and I enjoy the estimated salaries that they publish. Cons One has to be very careful with the filters. If you are looking for a job in an area you may get jobs that are either months old because they are sponsored ads or you will get something that is 100's of miles away because it says the job is in the USA and not just your area. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) For the same reasons above from zip recruiter you are never sure if you just spinning your wheels.

It is a really easy platform to use. I use the 2 free listings that are part of my ADP package, and the company also purchased additional listings as well Pros The ease of use, functionality, and seamless transition to my career site makes zip recruiter one of my favorite tools. I use Zip through my ADP Run platform. As one of our tools in the suite, I can easily post jobs or search resume from within the ADP software. I love this feature! Cons I can't really think of a dislike. I've found that I have good quality candidates. Oh, there is one thing. I recently posted a job that required a person to be a licensed practical nurse or higher. I set a screening question. I thought that this would filter out those that weren't LPNs. It did not. It simply showed me that they failed at this question. Now, this could be my mistake - maybe I didn't set the parameters right. However, I don't want to see people that I'm screening away from Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter These companies are all great and have great products, however, I've found better and more qualified candidates on Zip Review Source ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
