### "My go to for work"

May 18, 2020

5.0

I love the one click send option it's the best way to easily apply for jobs in your area one after another

Pros

The I have is very useful to use when creating a resume for work it's very laid out easily instructed so there is no way to fail at setting up a resume the recruiter does the work for you finding jobs that are based on your work experience I definitely recommend using ZipRecruiter if you're trying to advance your career set up a profile for yourself the links that it is connected to is also useful because it's easy click to apply you don't have to constantly keep putting in your information with one click your resume is sent

Cons

it's really hard to select notifications without it overwhelming your inbox and making it look like spam because it doesn't DaVinci 8 between spam emails and real jobs so you have to be careful on some of the links that you click because they are just Spam emails

### "ZipRecruiter is a well-established hiring resource !"

April 15, 2022

4.0

 I receive daily E-Mails from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] with employment recommendations that are reasonable. Also, I can easily apply using my ZipRecruiter profile and do not have to spend a lot of time filling up a profile.

Pros

All at one spot, get fast access to millions of jobs and search for the top people. There's no need to go through tens of thousands of meaningless job advertisements from other sites. We save time and simply recruit the perfect individual for our business using ZipRecruiter. The dashboard is useful for retrieving data when a new user searches on this platform. Its plan price is fair for a job consultant and ideal for the company. ZipRecruiter makes it simpler for businesses to employ smartly. They include tools for application tracking and social media recruiting in addition to advertising positions to over 100 secure job sites.

Cons

I occasionally receive job referrals outside of my industry and skill set. I'm not sure why I keep getting these job recommendations when I've never looked for anything like that. That is strange

### "Closers Wanted"

June 30, 2020

5.0

I loved it. I was unemployed for 6 months and the stresses of being refused a job were getting to be concerning. I hated opening my email for fear of another rejection. I all but quit looking for a job. However, with ZipRecruiter, I was able to continue applying for positions with my qualifications. I feel it was the soul reason I got the position I currently hold now. Thanks ZipRecruiter.

Pros

We have all seen the job postings for "closers wanted". Well ZipRecruiter can help you find them. This program is very simple to use and set up your portfolio. You get to then answer job postings that match your criteria with the job. It also allows you to ask additional non-standard questions of candidates to help you get to the personality you wish to work with. I especially love the "one-click" apply feature. This helps the candidate to apply quickly with the confidence that all their portfolio information will make it to the hiring manager.

Cons

The initial setup was a long process. It takes time for ZipRecruiter to learn your preferences and the things that are important in a job search. This slow process could use some improvements. Maybe investing in technology that performs the analyst much faster.

Overall I do enjoy using ziprecruiter as a vehicle to search for potential job opportunities as it is an effective tool and in fact an effective tool from

Pros

I like that the software is easy to use convenient to use and is widely recognized and so used by many potential employers and is a great vehicle.

There are a few things about the functionality of the systems that could be improved upon to make it more convenient at times.

### "A reliable resource for staffing"

May 6, 2022

5.0

Of course the number of applicants is high and the likelihood of getting the right fit is present.

Pros

You can search different applicants and view their profiles and resumes. The search feature also includes a location setting which helps to view applicants in a particular city.

Cons

Applicants who have already received jobs are not removed from the list. No status updates.

### "Hire the Right Employees - At a Cost"

December 15, 2019

4.0

ZipRecruiter, while expensive, has given us results that make it more than worth the cost. Their customer service has also been top notch and has provided real support in our search for good hires.

Pros

ZipRecruiter is easy to use and really helps our company target the right employees for the job. We have had almost no turnover using this software to find people to join our team. It is easy to use and is looked at by a talented pool of prospects.

Cons

Ziprecruiter comes a relatively expensive cost compared to other software that we have used (and continue to use). Indeed, for example, is free and provides us with decent results, though not on par with the quality that comes in from ZipRecruiter.

### "ZipRecruiter Job Seeker Review"

April 14, 2019

3.0

Proceed with caution. Only apply for jobs with well-known companies. Use Indeed to find out which companies are hiring and then apply directly to the companies' websites. It's more time consuming but worth it in the long run.

Pros

It is easy to use and allows access to multiple job boards. It very interactive and sends out lots of "job leads". It has an AI system that assists with job matching.

Cons

All of the "job leads" get spamming very quickly. The quality of the jobs offered are not that good. I've applied for several jobs for a friend that were misleading. They turned out to me commissions, low paying, and or MLM positions. The employers' actually tricked him into interviewing and made false claims about employment opportunities that were non-existent. They were basically cattle calls for minimum wage cold sales jobs.

July 13, 2020

4.0

This last job posting we were VERY happy with the quality of the resumes we received for the job we posted. We have filled the required job slots for the position we posted thru your portal.

Pros

The response time of customer support is far superior than other job sites that we use. The amount of resumes we receive.

Cons

Many times the applicants do not have a resume uploaded in the system. Many times there is no phone number listed in order to contact the applicant. These should be mandatory in order for them to apply for a job especially when I add resume is mandatory. also ensure my knockout questions are followed before they are allowed to apply, many times they have NO relevant experience or not authorized to work in the US.

Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter

Value of the product.

ZipRecruiter is a great site to look for jobs and easily apply with one click option also they have a wide variety of options in terms of using the filter to search jobs that are more related to you and your location.

Cons

There are no cons as much as I know but there can be a little improvement in the UI part with a more modern design and user interface that makes it more attractive for new users to use this site.

Pros

ZipRecruiter was very useful and far more effective compared to Indeed in our recent hiring process. However, the product does not live up to the ads which are flooding the airwaves of my primary AM radio station.

Cons

ZipRecruiter sent too many people my way that did not meet the established requirements for the position. In that regard, it does not live up to the expectations from the ads they produce.

July 28, 2020

4.0

Overall, it’s simple enough. Could definitely use improvements from the internal and external user sides to make it more impactful.

Pros

This is definitely where the candidates are. Between this and LinkedIn, this is where people look for jobs. There’s a nice preview feature that allows you to quickly review resumes.

Cons

I am not a fan of the thumbs up/down feature or that it lets candidates know when their profile is viewed multiple times. It’s not always for good reason. There’s no way to filter out already viewed candidates and it leaves the candidate with a false sense they will be contacted and are a good fit.

### "ZipRecruiter has made our hiring process a breeze!"

August 1, 2018

5.0

This software makes our hiring teams lives so much easier.

Pros

We hire a large number of seasonal staff every year for holiday events. In the past, this has been a clunky and laborious process. ZipRecruiter has made it so much easier to publicize our postings and get in the applications we need. No longer are we stressing about how we'll make sure to get enough applications to do the hiring we need. ZipRecruiter has streamlined every aspect of this and now we can focus on the business, not on hiring!

Cons

My only complaint is that there could be more functionality for posting compensation. We hire a lot of roles with varying levels of compensation and various compensation structure (hourly, salary, commission, contracting, etc). It doesn't feel like ZipRecruiter pprovides me enough functionality I need to properly describe to candidates what the compensation package will entail.
