Owner Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not One Viable Candidate" October 30, 2025 3.0 I would not use it again nor would I recommend it to anyone who is an employer. Perhaps it's better for jobseekers? Pros It was easy to use. That's the only thing that I like about it. But I am required to use 100 characters. Cons We did not get a single viable candidate. We were looking for a concrete foreman. The rep changed my deal breaker question from "Do you have a minimum of 5 years experience as a concrete foreman?" to "Do you have a minimum of 5 years experience as a concrete foreman or similar lead role?" Carpenters are NOT concrete foreman. The manager of a Staples is NOT a concrete foreman. The people who responded were completely unqualified. But it appeared we were getting a decent response until you actually looked at who was responding. And I reached out to several people. Much less than what we were allowed because there weren't any viable candidates. Not one response. And we pay well. It was a complete waste of money. No better than Indeed. Which is no good at all. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) We got poor candidates and people did not respond very often Review Source jC jessica C. Customer Service Rep Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good site for recruiters" January 22, 2026 5.0 Legitimate a well based established tool for hiring and job searching. User friendly easy post jobs and manage candidates. Pros easy to use simple interface easy resume uploas and app tracking. good matches with relevant jobs leading to interviews and offers. Cons the cost can be expensive for small businesses. High volume can mean sifting through many irrelevant resumes. Review Source KS Kimberly S. Patient Service Representative Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Employment Seeker" January 9, 2026 5.0 Overall, aside from having to be cautious, my experience is positive as being able to find employment to provide for my family is a must and ziprecruiter does just that, helps you to find employment with your shift preferences. Pros What I like most about ziprecruiter is the ability to search for employment within a certain area. I like to be able to put my preferences and this is perfect for that! Cons What I dislike is, at first, it was hard to understand how it worked. You still need to be careful for those fake ads. Review Source DS Dani S. HR Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love ZipRecruiter " December 9, 2025 5.0 My overall experience using ZipRecruiter has been great so far. It's been so helpful with finding new staff. The customer service is amazing, \[sensitive content hidden\] is great and always answers all my questions timely. I love Zip Pros What I like most about ZipRecruiter is how many options it gives you to reach candidates. I love the ZipIntro session options because it's so fast and easy. And I also love the Invite to Apply option and how fast it will refresh with new candidates. Cons The only thing I don't like on ZipRecruiter is the location range is just a large bubble, it should be more customizable. It would be nice to type in specific town areas and have those come up rather than so far away like 100+ miles Review Source TD Terry D. HRD Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZipRecruiter - not what it use to be..." April 22, 2025 2.0 Overall experience with ZipRecruiter has been subpar based on the issue of upcharges as well as having to speak with a rep on the phone to stop or cancel a job posting. All other job boards allow me this option without waiting on the phone for a rep to cancel a service and trying to upsell. Pros I've used ZipRecruiter to advertise job openings for several years. I must say that the quality of applicants has decreased in the last few years. Cons The cons of working with and posting jobs on ZipRecruiter is the upcharge for all the small things such as highlighting the position or adding veteran info Review Source JB Jennifer B.

Safety Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ZipRecruiter Allows us to reach a wide variety of employees" January 7, 2026 5.0 Pros ZipRecruiter allows us to reach a wide array of potential employees and makes it easy to convey match our needs with theirs Cons Hard to think of what I like least about ZipRecruiter since it fits almost all of our hiring needs for new employees Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Better pricing and pool of applicants for us Review Source MH Mark H. Operations Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ZipRecruiter's effects for small education company" May 12, 2025 4.0 ZipRecruiter is one of the employment websites that are company has used for looking for new employees and it streamlines some of the process for employers looking to hire. Pros ZipRecruiter is one of the easier employment websites to use. There is a notable base of job seekers that are available.

Cons The one thing that did not sit right with me about ZipRecruiter was the quantity of applicants that actually came through. Review Source Jackie S.

Cons I really liked my experience when looking for job opportunities, so no complaints here. I would definitely use this again. Review Source SW STACEY W. Accounting Manager Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great recruiting tool" January 13, 2026 4.0 We use the service time and again to fill empty positions at my company when I need someone quickly. Pros It is an easy to use product that allows me to get a lot of applicants for a posting. The process is straight forward and easy to follow. Cons For most lower level jobs we receive too many applicants and it can become overwhelming to go through the resumes.

We have found, interviewed and hired extremely reliable candidates using this platform Pros Easy to use! We also like that we were very well inform when we onboarded to have the knowledge on how our job postings worked and how to get the most reach with our postings. Cons From time to time it feels like one post doesn't gain a ton of traction but another will and understanding where we got the most views on a job posting would be a very helpful resource. Review Source PS Pebbles S. Insurance Agent Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZipRecruiter" December 20, 2024 5.0 I learned a lot by using ZipRecruiter, but I did not have any interviews. Pros ZipRecruiter stays on top of job openings that match the criteria you set up and your resume. They also keep a current and active list of openings. The ability to have a professional go over your resume is another option. Each post has the complete details about the positions including duties and requirements. Cons On your profile it shows that companies view your profile, but you are not contacted by any. Review Source MD Marc-henry D.

CEO Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Success with using ZipRecruiter" February 16, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with ZipRecruiter has been a good one. Whatever I needed for my agency to educate children with special needs birth to three such as Speech Therapist, Physical Therapist, and Special Instruction Therapist. I was able to find therapists in all NYC areas. ZipRecruiter was the answer to helping my agency be successful.

Because of the ZipRecruiter website it was easy and quick covering all the positions from therapst to office staff.

Operations Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Our To Go for Job Postings" February 19, 2025 5.0 When posting jobs on ZipRecruiter, having a wide selection of candidates we can sort through and pick the most qualified is wonderful. Pros ZipRecruiter makes job postings very easy and quick. It is a great tool for getting job postings in our local area. Cons The membership fees are somewhat high for a smaller company like ours, but in today's market, we have very few options on where to post to get to the greatest number of applicants. Alternatives considered [Monster+](https://www.capterra.com/p/48951/Monster-TMS/) Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter Ultimately our decision to go with ZipRecruiter came down to the amount of users and advertising the company did that made it more well-known to users searching for job openings. Switched from [Craigslist Posting](https://www.capterra.com/p/68188/Craigslist-Posting-Manager/) ZipRecruiter provided a more professional setting with what we assume are more serious candidate pool.

I like that our job posts got seen by a ton of people without me having to do much. The candidate matches saved me a bunch of time too. Definitely helped cut down on the back and forth.
