Safety Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZipRecruiter helps put our job listings together" January 12, 2026 5.0 Pros ZipRecruiter helps us put together job listings and sort through candidates better than the competition. Cons Not sure how much of this is ZipRecruiter's problem, but the candidate pool is not what it once was and I feel a lot of it is because of the way hiring companies have become dead-ends for applicants Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Because we got more applicants with ZipRecruiter than Indeed Review Source RR Riley R. Legal Project Analyst Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zip Recruiter Review " February 28, 2026 5.0 It helped me find candidates quickly and made the hiring process easier. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked well for what I needed. It was very easy to manage. Pros The dashboard was straightforward, and I liked being able to quickly browse applicants and see matches without feeling overwhelmed. I’m able to contact customer service quickly for bugs. Cons It was a little expensive. I also got a lot of applications that weren’t a good fit for the job, so I had to spend extra time sorting through them. I was not able to go through all of my email notifications. 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 MH Mario H. 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 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 JB Jennifer B. Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Loved it loved it" May 17, 2025 5.0 Overall experience is great i have used for years and it seems to get better and better every time it upgrades Pros Loved the lay out and easy to navigate loved the way it list the job openings it such a easy platform Cons Really nothing evertyhing about this app is great it so easy to use love every feature i would recommend Review Source LE Leisa E. Administrative Assistant Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not Impressed" January 30, 2026 3.0 I never found anything even remotely worth pursuing. Honestly seemed like some of the postings were scams. Pros There appeared to be a generous number of jobs listed that fit the criteria of the field I was looking for. Cons A majority of the jobs that I found were not anywhere near my location. Even though I specified my search area. Review Source Julia N.

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.
