Engagement Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy for Applications " March 20, 2019 3.0 It was very easy to setup and use. ZipRecruiter generates a lot of applications just not always good applications. Pros They make it very easy to post your job and target specific audiences. Also, the resume search feature is a nice touch to browse through potential matches. Cons You get a lot of applications that are not high quality. I spent a lot of time combing through bad/unqualified applications and incomplete resumes/profiles than I did actually speaking with quality candidates.

I thought it would be great to have another email containing jobs in my field...like Indeed sends. The jobs were always outdated. Cons My experience with ZipRecruiter was lacking.

Administration Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zipping me into interviews" August 19, 2020 5.0 I cant complain, truly. It’s a well designed site that has given me quite a few opportunities during a very hard time. Pros Out of the many features on the site that i most enjoyed would have to how user friendly it was. Once you logged into your accounts, everything you need was right at the top of the screen on the tool bar. You could jump on and see if you had received a messages from potential employers or if you have received an alert for the position you are looking for. I would definitely recommend ZipRecruiter to anyone on the job search. Cons The only thing disliked about the software would be the amount of emails that would be sent to my gmail account. I was impressed with the large selection of positions that were in my field but on occasion i would receive a listing that had absolutely nothing to do with the position i had been applying for Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter August 26, 2020 Thank you for your wonderfully detailed and positive review!

Cons They could use a update on the way they run there software its outdated most interviews are phone so they could change that. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager of Administrative Services Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZipRecruiter Review" November 2, 2018 4.0 We have found many of our employees using this software. Pros I like that you can track all of the information about your applicants in one place and create a rating system for them. It is easy to share this information among staff so everyone can have input on candidates. Cons There is a tendency for non-qualified candidates to apply for your positions which can be time consuming to weed them out.

Property Director Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Option" November 11, 2021 5.0 Overall my experience has been good. I will be using the software soon when I am searching for a candidate to fill the position of a long-term employee who will be retiring next year. The software is easy to use and the site is easy to navigate. Pros I like that Ziprecruiter does the work for you. It sends notifications frequently and presents opportunities that may have otherwise not been considered. Cons It often sends notifications for job opportunities that do not align well at all with an applicant's experience or desired pay scale. It also at times suggests positions are a good or great match when the applicants has no experience or credentials to work in that field.

Graduate Enrollment Intern Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing tool for job application" December 6, 2019 5.0 Overall, still the best job application platform there is. Would really appreciate it if they have the company review or company's salary range like Glassdoor. Pros It has amazing suggestion function. The one-click apply function saves a lot of time for applicants, which is a huge advantage compared to other job application platforms. Cons Sometimes I click on the "apply" button and it refers to an outside link, which is another 3rd party job application platform. I would prefer being directed to the companies' website instead. Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter December 12, 2019 Hi Swan-Xuan We're so glad you had a good experience while using ZipRecruiter and that our platform was easy to use.

Senior recruiter Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zip recruiter review for businesses" August 30, 2022 5.0 It was quite good apart from the fact that there is limited number of postings and it is quite low Pros The interface is quite clean and easy to post and search for resumes relevent to the job profile you are searching for easy to find us based candiddates Cons Limited number of job postings and need to pay for more postings or delete previous postings Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Production Engineer Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZIpRecruiter. I usuful tool to find a job." September 26, 2018 3.0 It is a useful tool to try to find a job, also really beneficial for employers. There are some features that can be improved. Pros What I like the most about this webpage is the opportunity to find jobs nearby your zip code area, and narrow the search based on your profile, studies and work experience. Also, ZipRecruiter provides different tools such as mobile Apps and job alerts by email. Cons What I like least about this tool is that the job search is limited to the zip code introduced as personal address. In my case, It would be more beneficial to be able to choose the desired zip code by job alert. Also, most of the times the job posting that I received based in my profile, doesn't match at all. Review Source Jenna Z. Human Resources Onboarding Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "If you're going into sales, this is for you." October 31, 2018 3.0 When I was looking for a job, I signed up for ZipRecruiter along with several other job board platforms. I ended up using it for maybe a month before I got frustrated with it and deleted my account (before I even got a job). Pros Recruiters (though I'm not sure if they're bots or real people) will send you certain job postings they think you will like or be qualified for. The software allows you to search postings by location and job title/keywords. I like that you can add testimonials from your references to your account. That is something I haven't seen before. Cons It seems like 99% of the postings/emails/notifications are for sales positions. No matter how many times you set your preferences or notification keywords, they will pretty much only show you sales positions. That's fine if that's what you're looking for, but if not (like me) it is very frustrating. I also got multiple emails from "recruiters" for the same position/organization, even after telling them that I either wasn't interested in or was not qualified for the position/organization/field of work.

Support Specialist Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Millennial switching industries." September 6, 2019 5.0 Overall I’ve gotten more calls for interviews through this job board than anywhere else. This is definitely my go to over Indeed, Craigslist, etc. Pros I like that there are updates about most everything. I.e. when or how many times you resume is viewed, if the job has been closed and who you’ve sent your resume to but haven’t heard from. I can also easily share my resume. Cons My only critique is that I was the app was a bit more visually pleasing. Other than that, I have no complaints. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) I wasn’t getting very many calls back for jobs I knew I was a great candidate for. I’d apply for the same jobs on ZipRecruiter and get updates throughout the entire plus an interview! It’s also much less of a has to apply for gigs on the app. Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter September 16, 2019 Hello Mia, Thank you very much for taking the time to review ZipRecruiter, your feedback is very important to us!

It was also helpful by matching me with the job positions I am qualified for. Didn't have to spend a lot of time filling out every application for each job I had applied for. They give you a one click option which helped me apply for my job opportunities. Pros I loved everything about the site. From helping me make out a Resume to helping finding job openings that match my experience. Cons I couldn't find anything about I didn't like. Help with not having to fill out every application. Just had a one click option. Easy Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) I found ZipRecruiter a lot more helpful and easier to manage.

Cons Job postings. Too many candidates that aren’t qualified will apply. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Branch Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good recruiting tool " January 4, 2020 5.0 My overall experience with Ziprecruiter has been good, could be better but this is still one of the best recruiting tools I use on a daily basis. Pros What I like the most about using Ziprecruiter for my recruiting needs is the fact that I can view a screenshot of a candidates resume without having to click on it. This allows me to screen candidates faster when I'm recruiting. Cons What I like the least about Ziprecruiter is when posting jobs on their website we receive a lot of candidates that are not qualified for the jobs we are advertising and it's frustrating having to look through hundreds of resumes and only getting a few candidates that actually qualify for the positions we are advertising.

Office Manager Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A lot of potential and a great idea. " January 3, 2019 4.0 I really wish the site was better. Has great potential and a wonderful idea. Pros I’ve used this software as both a job seeker and a recruiter. As a job seeker, they really need to do a better job of cutting down the spam and fraudulent job postings. It really decreases their value. People apply to jobs that are either fake or they are sent to another website that just spams them with fake job listings. As a recruiter it is a bit more useful. It allows you to easily post and gives useful updates. Cons They have a serious problem with the spam on this website. Not sure how, but they really need to find a way to decrease it.

Pros Helps you find positions, however it could not send so many takers. Cons All the ads and false adertisement, is what i liked least about the program myself. Review Source Kevin W. Frontend Developer Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Middle Ground for Job Searching" July 21, 2019 5.0 Pros I've used this in the past few years and have help make genuine connection with employers I've applied to. It's a lot faster and easier to use than Indeed or CareerBuilder. Quick to show related job or setup one-click apply Cons It is not as large as Indeed or Linkedin but is a great alternative Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Indeed's multile postings page and seemingly leaving a lot of super old posts can get very clutter and even utilizing it's distance search does not seem all that useful nor accurate.

May 26, 2022 4.0 Better applicants to choose from and help keep the business running. Pros This software helps me scan resumes more faster and get what i'm looking for. Cons There should be a more faster way for the job seekers to update their account. Review Source DS Danny S. Mechanic Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Over priced and false advertising " January 28, 2024 1.0 Completely unsalted with their service and way over priced Pros No pros to mention. They sent candidates that wasn't even close to be qualified Cons Everything about this company was bad. Even after cancelled they continued to run my card for $475 four times. Look elsewhere. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Zip recruiter makes a promise and gets you nothing in return. Can't tell you how bad I'm upset with their false advertising. And way overpriced. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helped us hire many truck drivers" November 21, 2019 5.0 Overall I'd say its been great. Anytime I had questions, I was able to get a hold of a human to work it out. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Pros The customer service is absolutely amazing! Very easy to talk to a real human. As for recruiting, it works very well. The key is making sure your job listings are written very well so candidates are more likely to click on the ad (seems self-evident, but a lot of people on there don't do a good job). Very easy to navigate through leads and connect with them via email phone or text. Cons To get real results you need to spend quite a bit of money. The free version doesn't really get quality candidates and your listings get burried very quickly. It's not really a con though because they are a software service so should be charging for its premium features. Alternatives considered [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter Price and ease of use. I felt like it was easier to get results from Ziprecruiter for less money. Review Source Response from ZipRecruiter November 26, 2019 Hi!

December 5, 2019 5.0 Overall Zip recruiter has been very helpful in allowing me to reach out to companies who are hiring and getting my name out in the work community. Pros The pros of Zip Recruiter include being able to search for your intended type of work with ease as well as receiving daily job alerts via text on jobs that match your resume and experience. Cons The cons of Zip Recruiter include sometimes receiving job leads that don’t necessarily fit your experience or even interest. I hate opening my phone to 10 job possibilities and none of them are of interest to me.

July 7, 2020 5.0 I have had the opportunity to begin an amazing career at the hands of ZipRecruiter and it is a program that I will always continue to use when searching for jobs. I recommend it everyone! Pros I very much enjoy not having to re-type in job history and other information whenever applying for a job. Additionally, I love the skills exams to show employers that you really do have the skills listed on your resume. Cons I do wish I didn't receive as many emails from ZipRecruiter, but occasionally, I do find one with a job I definitely want to apply for!

Freelance Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ZipRecruiter - Great job search tool" June 20, 2023 5.0 Overall I liked my experience with ZipRecruiter. Being able to upload my resume once and complete my profile has helped return relevant results. After using it for about 3 months, I was matched with an employer and job I am excited about. Pros I liked the automated email of job search results in my inbox. This has reduced the need for me to re-run the same search over and over. I may run the search again if I would like a different geographical location and/or job type. Cons It is not the issue with ZipRecruiter itself. There were times when the same postings were emailed. This was more due to the availability of new job postings. Seeing the same job postings in multiple sequential emails was a little annoying.
