Zip Recruiter is a great option for job recruiters Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zip Recruiter is a good option when searching for candidates" December 17, 2025 4.0 My overall experience is that it is a good tool when searching for candidates because their pool is very extensive. Pros Zip Recruiter has a large variety of resumes to search through and new ones are uploaded daily. They advertise on many social media outlets which helps to engage good candidates Cons I feel that even when I use the filters resumes imported don't include the best matches. The filters should have more options to narrow down best applicants. Review Source AS Amber S. Business Admin Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ZipRecruiter Experience " September 22, 2025 5.0 ZipRecruiter helped me to find an internship at the time, and it also helped me to get a couple interviews with other companies. It is a great tool to utilize for someone who is job hunting. On the other hand as I had mentioned, it is also a great platform for organizations to use when needing to post available job listings within their companies. Pros ZipRecruiter is a site I have recommended to many family and friends who were looking for jobs. It was the main job connection site I had used when I was looking for internships before working in my now full time job. It was very easy to upload your resume and filter out for specific jobs that matched what you were looking for in a specific field of work within the site. It was also very easy for me to upload opening job descriptions that we were looking to fulfill within my organization. Cons The amount of emails I received from ZipRecruiter became overwhelming. While I appreciated the ones that matched the description of the type of employment I was looking for, I felt some of them did not tie to the correct area of what I would want to apply for.

Recruiter Wholesale Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ZipRecruiter Review" April 27, 2026 5.0 I really enjoyed using ZipRecruiter because we were able to reach a lot of candidates and had a large applicant pool to hire from. Pros What I like the most about ZipRecruiter is the ability to post eye-catching job ads quickly across various locations. Cons When I used ZipRecruiter I did have to copy and paste a lot from previous postings but it’s possible this has changed.

April 9, 2026 3.0 No viable candidates were generated by ZipRecruiter so we have stopped using them in general. It seems they have diversified their service offerings recently, and we don't need that. We just want actual candidates. Pros Their platform is fairly easy to use and understand. It offers all the bells N whistles for a recruiting system. Cons The quality and number of viable candidates has not been worth the prices, which are quite high for recruiting ads. This may be an industry-specific problem. Alternatives considered [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/)[Checkr](https://www.capterra.com/p/177814/Checkr/) Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter Their website and offerings seemed better.

Did not have 1 qualified applicant! looking for automotive tech and get only unqualified applicants.. even called one and he never even heard from ziprecruiter!! go figure Pros no pros! the most unqualified applicants I have EVER received! Ziprecruiter charges no matter what and with no accountability! Cons most unqualified applicants EVER!! they just charge because they can... ask for automotive tech and get applications from fry and walmart employees, from Pool service techs, from sign fabricators, from KFC employee... and the charge is about $800 a month depending on your plan... and I had a premium plan!! BS! This is a data collecting company who uses fake info to lure people in and then charge them as much as they can!! Take my advice use any other site (even indeed did better with their flaws!) Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) just to see if the grass was greener on the other side.. and indeed is (even with their flaws ) better than ziprecruiter with clear pricing and better (more qualified )applicants Review Source Ashenafe W. driver Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "very relevant " October 3, 2025 5.0 so far i have a very good relationship with zip recruiters the first app i checked evry morning to see whats going on for the day Pros it is very easy to use, relevant to my search and scam free, always get notification that relates with my qualification, Cons updates me every day with job relevant to me sometimes some jobs are not closer to my place. that comes a lot email. Review Source SW Susie W. HR Generalist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great hiring tool" April 10, 2026 4.0 It has been a great hiring tool for our team. It's very user friendly, and I love how quickly we start receiving applications after posting a job. The candidate matching feature saves time and helps surface strong applicants early in the process. Pros I generally have positive experiences using ZipRecruiter. It's very easy to navigate and posting jobs is quick and efficient. I appreciate how widely job listings are distributed, which helps bring in a steady flow of candidates. Cons The quality of applicants can be a hit or miss. There are some great candidates, but I've had to sort through a number of unqualified applications. Pricing can feel a bit high depending on your hiring needs, but overall, it's a solid tool for reaching a broad audience. Review Source CG Claire G. Executive Administrator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient sourcing with a big reach" March 24, 2025 5.0 Overall my experience with ZipRecruiter has been positive. It’s a great platform for reaching a large audience quickly, and it’s especially useful when you need to fill a role fast or increase applicant volume. It may require more screening times then other niche platforms the visibility and automation make it an incredible tool in my recruitment toolbox. Pros What I liked most about ZipRecruiter was its wide distribution of the posting. It publishes your listing to multiple job boards with helps more people see the post without extra effort on my part. The candidate matching is also another great bonus as it sends me potential matches that best align with my post, saving me time. The platform is also very easy to navigate and makes it simple to track candidates in your pipeline also allowing for easy communication. Cons One downside was the volume of unqualified candidates. While it’s great to have a large applicant pool, I did find myself spending a lot of time filtering through resumes. Switched from [CareerBuilder](https://www.capterra.com/p/148657/Talentstream-Recruit/) Ziprecruiter had a better quality of candidate and more bang for your buck. Review Source CK Christina K.

May 22, 2026 5.0 As a manager, ZipRecruiter helps hire for us during our busy times and can look for seasonal staff, different job positions and you can filter through applicants very easily. Pros ZipRecruiter is a great tool in recruiting! It's a quick and easy website to make hiring and interviewing much easier. Cons ZipRecruiter doesn't always match the best applicants to a job posting but it's easy to reach out to applicants and find the right hire! Review Source RJ Rebecca J. HR Director Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HR Director" July 21, 2025 5.0 Plesant and the customer service team was on point which in my eyes can make or break a program like this in the HR function. Pros When you purchase the program and the full suite you typically get a great return on your investment but if you use an abbreviated version it isn't worth it. Cons At first we did the cheaper route and it was not what we needed nor did we have the ability to get the full function. Over all it is very similar to Indeed.

Manager Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for the basic web veiws " May 23, 2025 3.0 I found zip recruiter to be no different than any of the competition, but they seemed higher pressure - we had no successful hires from any extras purchased with Zip. I think it's good to post a job as many places as possible- but I think the extras Zip offers are not worth the money. Pros Zip recruiter likes to give you a one on one sales associate to help you set up your account and get your jobs posted, they will even help you create job posts, for an additional fee. Cons the high pressure where you always have to pay more for an add-on to feel like you have any chance of getting a new hire Alternatives considered [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter we didn't I'm not sure why you think we did.

Pros ZipRecruiter makes job searching quick and easy, with helpful tailored alerts for candidates and simple applications. Cons ZipRecruiter can have outdated listings, lots of competition, and not every application gets a response. Review Source ML Martha L.

It was an easy platform to use when it came to employee recruiting and management. It was nice to be able to customize the posting how we wanted it to show up. Customer Service was easy to get a hold of and they were very responsive which made it even more of a value for the money paid. Pros Zip recruiter is a great tool for our recruitment process.

THERAPIST Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ZipRecruiter review" December 10, 2025 4.0 My overall experience was challenging as it is difficult to search for jobs that are available. Also some job postings are old but still on the website. Pros I like that you can see which jobs you applied to and which employers are interested in you based on work experience, history and qualifications. Cons I dislike that there is not alot of job options to apply for which make the job search more dfifficult. Review Source PM Patrick M.

Customer support is helpful but no real solutions to the questions asked about processes. Pros Value for money. It’s a reasonable price for what you get along with the portal access but it does have work that could be a little more user friendly. Cons Robust system, not that user friendly. It’s very systematic. It’s not that user friendly. Some reports are hard to find. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Pricing. Indeed is extremely expensive and it’s hard to get help. Review Source JL Jeff L. Artist Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's okay and quick, but not always helpful" May 12, 2025 3.0 It is much like Glassdoor and Indeed. It makes it easy to find candidates; however, it does not filter candidates very well. Pros It is easy to use. The talk through features are okay. It is also similar to other job platforms, so the learning curve is short. Cons Does not require very specific information. Requiring specific information would get better candidates. As a candidate, I would like to have mulitiple resumes available to choose from . Review Source Stenie O.

We have retained majy of the employees weve hired using this solution. We also find the cost to be well within an acceptable range for the full host of features. Pros This our preferrd platform for placing job advertisments, contacting and communicating with potential employees and for tracking applicants during the hiring process. We also use indeed regularly, but find that we have better luck hiring for skilled trades and field staff with this platform. Cons We wish the platform had a built in skills testing feature like Indeed. We use that often for our office and management personal and find it usefull in establishing a baseline for skillsets. Currently, we just advertise those positons more frequently using Indeed but we would prefer ziprecruiter to be our one stop shop.
