### "Not my first choice of job boards"

August 4, 2024

Pros

I guess it has job descriptions to see what companies want

Cons

I’ve never gotten a single response or even heard of anyone ever getting an interview from ziprecruiter.

### "the real review on ziprecruiter"

September 2, 2023

4.0

I used it for hiring employees for my business as well as I have used it before to get jobs in the past before I had my own business.

Pros

I love that they thought of all the necessary features that employers and employees might need when job searching. Also the easiness of the site to navigate is a plus.

Cons

I disliked that some of the jobs posted on this site weren't verified employers and some were scam people pretending to be employers.

### "Easy to Navigate and User Friendly "

August 27, 2023

5.0

Very positive experience with ZipRecruiter.

Pros

I appreciate all the different things ZipRecruiter offers. Job postings, The Ability to search for applicants using key words, messaging potential applicants and organizing data.

Cons

In ZipRecruiter I feel sometimes I may overlook applications. If an individuals resume doesn’t have a keyword I type in, I may not see their resume and pass over a great potential coworker.

November 11, 2022

5.0

Overall, I really loved this software, we can screen the Canidate from different portals and directly we can see there resume and contact them directly.

Pros

The most I like in this is searching for candidates is very easy, easy to screen the candidate from portals

Cons

Nothing is more least to dislike for this software only benefits no more dislikes or least .

### "Your go to Job Board"

October 31, 2023

5.0

My experience with ziprecruiter has been great. I actually left reputable jobs sites to join zip requiter

Pros

Since using zip recruiter I was able to apply for companies I didn’t know was hiring as well as letting me post jobs when I was needing assistance. It lets the candidate know if they have the right skills for the job instead of you wasting your time and filling out an application not knowing you wasn’t going to get the job at all.

Cons

The notifications. Even though I checked my account frequently I would miss some offers. I would love if it would call or somehow make sure no matter what you would be able to receive your notifications in a timely manner.

### "Zip Recruiter Is Trusted "

January 6, 2024

5.0

Zip is the best I really like it better than so many other job boards and sites.

Pros

Zip Recruiter has always been a very easy set up for recruiting candidates. I like how the website is not busy at all or intimidating.

Cons

I think seeing more automated tasks could really help to streamline the amount of time it takes me to recruit. I also don't really like the questionnaire questions for candidates. Few of them want to take those extra steps.

Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter

Both of those companies are great. However with Zip job candidates expect for us to contact them. Not so much for the others. The easy apply feature gives us access to so many more job candidates.

[CareerBuilder](https://www.capterra.com/p/148657/Talentstream-Recruit/)

Zip seems like a smaller company. Although it may be huge. I think it is much more job candidate focused. Seems like other job boards have way to many advertisements.

### "Mis-leading & Fraudulent Job Recruiter"

May 22, 2023

1.0

THE WORST!. THIS COMPANY IS SO MISLEADING AND SO SLEEZY. THEY PUT THINGS IN FINE PRINT THAT IS NOT EVEN REALIZED AND THEY SLAM YOU FOR A MONTH OF THEIR ADVERTISING BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT HIT YOU. THEN THEY WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HELPING YOU. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS ARE RUDE AND COULD CARE LESS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST BAIT & SWITCH SCAMS I'VE EVER SEEN...so misleading and unethical.

Pros

Nothing...one of the most unethical companies I have ever used. So mis-leading and the customer service at Zip Recruiter could not have cared less or been any less helpful.

Cons

This company is so misleading. they sell you on a free trial and then do not tell you that you have unknowingly signed up for their service and the second the trial is over you are charged $558.34 and have no recourse. I did not even realize there was an auto enroll. I tried the free trial and after getting some of the worst candidates that did not even fit the job description, I got slammed with a ridiculous bill. When I called to dispute they were so matter of fact and could not have been any less helpful. They refused to give any type of credit and told me there was another $130.00 being charged. I was forced to immediately close the account that I did not even know I had and I disputed the charge with Amex. Zip recruiter is so versed in this type of dispute, they have a canned response to display how they mislead you and somehow signed up without even knowing. Further investigating found that Zip Recruiter gets 100's of these exact disputes a month and have dedicated people & canned responses to deal with them. DO NOT USE ZIP RECRUITER. VERY MISLEADING . THEY ARE LIKE LICENSED HACKERS.

### "My life would be TERRIBLE without Ziprecruiter"

September 27, 2019

5.0

I personally adore this job board. Like I mentioned, it has bought diversity of applicants through our office doors and made our business a lot more like a family environment given the fact that we have different levels of experience that we are hiring. I think it is great and makes my job extremely easy.

Pros

Ziprecruiter is my go to Job Board as a Hiring Manager. Ziprecruiter not only has great affordable plans but they truly cast the widest net when it comes to applicants. Coming from a place where I was only budgeted for Indeed, Ziprecruiter has opened up doors by advertising to every board from Monster to Linkedin. It has truly been a game changer and we have seen numerous people come through our doors that have been sharp and well qualified individuals. Each applicant has their own story and we have met great employees through this software and that is because Ziprecruiter leaves no stone unturned. They really are the best contenders in the job seeing world!

Cons

The one issue I would say would be the "Quick Apply". From my experience, sometimes the quick apply is so easy for applicants it makes my job as a Hiring Manager a little tough. This is due to the fact that when an applicant is on a job application frenzy, they will apply for anything and everything meaning they do not necessarily remember applying/apply by mistake. This results in a lot of confusion and wasted time when reaching out to applicants. If there was maybe more of a screening process involved so the applicants are required to read and check what they're apply for, it'd make a huge difference!

Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter

Affordable and gets more results!

### "Time saver"

May 15, 2022

5.0

My overall experience I would recommend this to anyone that runs a business small or big that needs help in their business. I would highly recommend.

Pros

This is a very helpful software I mean you just upload what you looking for job description, qualifications,pay then post it and you're done the candidates come to you. I know as a business owner conducting in person interviews and applications can be stressful and tiresome, this makes it easy.

Cons

There's really not much wrong I can say about this this software. On occasion you might get an overwhelming application load but through this software it actually kind of helps you to narrow it down.

### "For when you need a job, or a new employee, in a zip..."

August 20, 2019

4.0

It gets exhausting submitting applications for available positions now that virtually all employers application process is now online. Having to enter the same information, over and over, turns the job hunt from being a propitious event full of hope and promise into a dull, dreary task full of monotony. Many times I have found a position I am very interested in and would qualify for, but end up not applying simply out of dread. As a result, many companies have missed out on the best employee for the job: me! ZipRecruiter turns the job hunt experience around on its head. It's based on the premise that today's fast-paced business environment leaves prospective applicants little time and impetus to apply for the open positions employers need to fill. In order to attract the best candidates for listed openings - many of whom are already employed and have time constraints - the new user on ZipRecruiter's platform "applies" for a "job" in the form of filling out their profile. From there, the user simply needs to peruse job listings, and when something of interest is found, he or she clicks on "apply" and for most positions, that's it, they are done - in a zip! Employers receive the profile data which serves as the application for the posted job, and their unique approach facilitates finding the best candidates for the position.

Pros

As a project work employee that relies on my employer being awarded relevant contracts, my job search for more permanent, suitable employment has been sporadic but ongoing for several years now. ZipRecruiter turns an otherwise off-putting chore into a simple, easy task, that lets the busy professional apply for job openings with one click and that's it for most listed positions.

Cons

ZipRecruiter's algorithm for recommendations matching job seekers with job openings could use some fine-tuning.

### "Low value for such a high cost"

September 9, 2021

2.0

I would recommend going with another company. They aren't professional, they lie, and they don't provide great results for the cost.

Pros

Your job posts to a ton of websites. They had an awesome invite to apply feature which is the main reason we signed up and in our package it was included but one day they decided to make it ala carte.

Cons

We went from getting a ton of applicants because of invite to apply to next to none. The quality of applicants dropped a lot as well and most applicants were like we just clicked apply to every application we saw. They made invite to apply ala carte and at the already high fee of $400 per month to post. The salesman at ZipRecruiter told us we would have unlimited invite to apply's with our plan and it just randomly changed one month and we were getting next to no qualified leads for that price.

### "Great for job postings and searching for candidates! "

August 31, 2021

4.0

Very positive experience with ZipRecruiter in regards to applicants applying to our jobs and using the resume database to find great people for our Patient Access Center.

Pros

I like how many places the job postings are listed via ZipRecruiter which attracts a lot of qualified candidates. I also love using the resume database to search for additional qualified candidates for our jobs.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about ZipRecruiter in regards to the job postings or resume database. I do not use it as an Applicant Tracking System so I'm not sure what cons there may be for those that do.

Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter

I've used it at past employers and had a very positive experience so decided to move forward with it again.

### "Frustrating implementation and account setup for Greenhouse ATS users"

April 16, 2020

2.0

Overall experience with the system was extremely disappointing. I was unable to determine the effectiveness of the product due to all of the issues we encountered along the way.

Pros

I really enjoyed the resume search database. This was the only feature I was able to use without any problem. Unfortunately to due to the issues we encountered during account setup, we were not able to determine the actual effectiveness of this product as a recruiting tool.

Cons

My experience with the initial setup of our account and integration of ZipRecruiter with our ATS, Greenhouse, was extremely frustrating. We went through 3 different Account Managers in a 60 day period with 0 consistency of information with each new person. There were various issues we encountered with account setup and their ability to correctly scrape our jobs from our ATS. After starting this process in early May of 2019 we decided to part ways in mid to late August due to lagging issues with our account we just could not seem to receive a reasonable resolution for. Unfortunately due to all of the issues, we were never able to determine the effectiveness of the actual product. The platform has an algorithm that fine tunes its targeting of the "ideal" applicant based off your rating of applicants that apply. The more time you spend rating applicants the better targeting capabilities it supposedly has. The concept is great, however, for companies with a large hiring volume it becomes a time consuming feature to have to manage applicants in both an ATS and in ZipRecruiter.

### "The best tool to recruit the high callibre candidates."

July 22, 2019

5.0

I have gained much of the benefits from the whole recruiting procedure which had allowed me to gain more insights about the right candidates and connecting me with them. It allows me to filter the high caliber candidates in a more efficient way rather than the standard channels which only brings out the available individuals. It always led me towards making the right choices for me as well as for my company.

Pros

The overall effectiveness of this tool depends on whom and from which industry sector you are trying to hire the candidates. There are some productive results from few campaigns and quite low for the other ones. Well, it is quite easy to post the required position without any kind of struggle at all and within few minutes its starts infiltrating the appropriate candidates for you. The ads are most visually pleasing and attracts more audience with creative content lines. We can also filter the right candidate for us by targeting specific candidates, location, education and experience. It is great recruiting tool specifically for the recruiters allowing them to improve the efficiency of their work.

Cons

This tool brings itself some serious issues that requires the attention of the users and the management. The foremost thing that requires utmost improvement is their own customer support which always doesn't responds to us in more directly way. They always try to lure us with some hefty pricey plans which are not even required at all. There's also abundance of notifications and alerts that we have to sort out manually. The recruiting process is somehow simplified with this tool but it is mostly same like mailing approach and not anything much better.

### "A Candidate's Perspective"

November 9, 2021

5.0

I am so happy I found ZipRecruiter software program to make my job hunting experience less cumbersome. ZipRecruiter targets the right positions that fit my academic and professional background. Then, I have the opportunity to apply to matching roles with a simple stroke of a button. I highly recommend ZipRecruiter software program.

Pros

ZipRecruiter is an awesome software program from a candidate's personal job hunting experience. ZipRecruiter has simplified my job hunting experience. When I login to ZipRecruiter, the software is user friendly with clear directions. The ZipRecruiter software minimizes the prospective job details into a thumbnail box which includes the hiring company or recruiting firm's name, job title and a brief job description. I can tap the thumbnail to receive more detailed information. When I am interested in a role, I simply tap the "1-Tap Reply" button and boom, ZipRecruiter software directly apply to the position. ZipRecruiter software program stores my resume, professional experience and skillset in the software and my information is emailed directly to the hiring party. The most impressive lifesavers for me are the positions are current and only interested, actively searching companies are provided. Therefore, my time is freed up to focus on getting the right job opportunity.

Cons

ZipRecruiter can be improved by auto-filling applications directly into the hiring company's website when the company requires an online application. Lots of time would be saved if I could simply edit and sign the applications. Also, when applying to multiple leads at once, it is not clear which companies are receiving my resume. Lastly, it is great to receive motivating messages when the prospective company views my profile, however, once is enough. It's a letdown when I receive multiple encouraging notifications each time my resume is viewed, then no response from the hiring company afterwards.

### "ZipRecruiter Review "

July 26, 2021

5.0

Overall, my company and I have been using ZipRecruiter on a consistent basis. We find it to be extremely reliable, and also, we always use it for a learning tool, so even if we're not hiring at the time, we still search through candidates, and see what's happening on ZipRecruiter to keep up with market trends. I find ZipRecruiter to be a staple, and I plan to be using it for a long time to come.

Pros

I really like the resume management tool on ZipRecruiter, and how it seems like they might be integrating this into their databases search engines and SEO. I have both used Zip Recruiter to find jobs, and we use it a lot to hire independent contractors. Almost always, I end up hiring an independent contractor that has used the Zip Recruiter Resume tool.

Cons

The only thing that does bother me, that I can think of, is when looking for independent contract/freelance jobs, I expect that I will be receiving email alerts for the specified jobs I requested. I have trouble with the emails I'm being sent most of the time. They usually tend to be super generalized jobs, and a good %50 of the time none of the jobs offered in the emails sent to me have anything to do with what I've requested or searched for to be emailed to me. So this could be corrected.

Alternatives considered

[LinkedIn Jobs](https://www.capterra.com/p/172060/LinkedIn-Jobs/)

Reason for choosing ZipRecruiter

I found ZipRecruiters' pricing to make more sense and be much more reasonable for the 'premium' services we were looking for. Linkedin was charging way too much just for a job posting and wasn't consistent like ZipRecruiter is.

[Enterprise Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/207188/Upwork/)

ZipRecruiter was more reliable with the candidates that were being sent to me. We hire a lot of independent freelance contractors on a per-project basis, and we needed to have a better database like ZipRecruiter to weed through what we didn't want before we were given the proper candidates. I like how we are able to have a more, sit back and it will be sent to us approach I'm able to have with ZipRecruiter, because it frees up my time to get a lot of other things done.

### "There's No Despute Zip Recruit Will Land You A Job In Less Than A Week. "

April 29, 2020

4.0

Overall I've gotten jobs within a week from Ziprecruiter that pays good money. I moved from NC to Maryland and I needed to find work and they solved that issue so quick I love zip recruiter and they helped me build a resume' with little experience. You can even download the resume' put it on other websites if you need to. I definately recommend this platform. I got like 7 jobs that called me back in less than a week! And I only put in 20 mins of work applying you cant beat that at all! Despite the scams it's really good to use. Just look up the companies on the Better Business Bureau and ask for their Employee ID # if it's a company you don't recognize or know. Simple gestures on your part can clearly override that part until they fix the Employers that can use there site. Total recommend overall.

Pros

I LOVE LOVE how easy it is to use. You can upload a resume' or create a profile on their system with ease. They have easy 1 click skills you can add to your resume' that makes you stand out. Even if you not that good with Resume's this platform will make you seem like you been doing them all your life. They have customized searching and geographic job searching you can even pick the mile radius on where your looking for work. So if I wanted a job with 5 miles of my home I can refine the search and BOOM it will only pull up jobs within a 5 mile radius. I absolutely LOVE that feature because I take care of my grandma and grandfather so I need to stay close by to the house. They require ALOT of my time so I dont have hours and hours to fill out applications. Zip Recruiter has taken that into account for you with 1-Click Applies. You just refine the search to 1-Click Applies only. And I'm telling you! I applies to like 30 jobs in less than 20 mins. It's so amazing. I mean like it's almost genius honestly. They automatically send your resume' to companies effortlessly. Some job require additional questions but they are quick and easy to do. And that's not all the companies respond to you quickly I'm talking same day sometimes. By the end of a week I'm trying t to choose which job I wanna pick which interviews to go to on. You can customize the type of jobs you want. It's like job applicator heaven. They send confirmation emails so you can keep track of where your applying.

Cons

The only drawback to this platform that I've experienced is some jobs are scams. Be weary of "Work From Home" jobs on here. Or any job that tells you to add them on What's app for an interview. I almost got scammed by one of them. I sell insurance so working from home isnt bad for me at all. It's almost plausible. But some companies aren't legit on this platform just be weary of it. Not all of them are like this. I've gotten job offers from great well known companies on this platform as well. They sent me a bad check but the bank caught it before I was able to place it into my account. Zip Recruiter should perform thorough in depth checks on the companies they enable to use their platform to ensure customers safety and peace of mind. They should ensure they have a Verfiable Employer # and have Acceptable an rating on BBB. That way customers can apply to jobs in confidence knowing each one is reputable and will benefit the applicant. Other than that I cant think of any drawbacks to using the platform at all.

### "Ziprecruiter is wonderful"

February 8, 2023

4.0

The overall experience with ZipRecrutier is good. I am not saying it is best because it doesn't have the good pool of cleared candidates but given the price range and features it offers, it is one of the best in segment.

Pros

One of the best things about this job board is that it is easy to use and the UI is responsive, minimal, and informative.

Cons

One of the things I don't like is fewer cleared candidates on the portal. If there was a good pool of cleared candidates, it would have been best.

### "Where is Candidates?"

September 9, 2021

4.0

I have mixed feelings about using ZipRecruiter. In spite of friendly software to use, it didn't deliver the candidates I was looking for. Therefore, I don't feel I get the value of money. On top of that, they decided to increase the price, so, unfortunately, we decided to cancel the service. Also, I had to initiate the contact most of the time because I had an issue to discuss.

Pros

Ziprecruiter is easy to use and has much functionality that is essential for rand. I hear commercials all the time. Therefore, it is more likely well known, so many job seekers use it, and more resumes I can search.

Cons

If your industry is in high demand and attracting candidates, I think Ziprecruiter is a good tool to post jobs and wait for candidates to apply. However, if you have to find candidates by sorting through resumes, despite setting up criteria, it is an expensive tool to use compared to others because it starts with limited resumes and starts paying more to get more.

### "Simple Online Recruiter Software to Use"

August 10, 2021

4.0

The business problems being solved here definitely are on a wide scale/spectrum. Employers wouldn't have to work as hard to find the employees that fit the qualifications they are seeking, and would pay a whole lot less with advertising than using this online software. The data collected will also be more manageable and easily at the fingertips for a business to retrieve and get in touch with the individual most suitable for the position they are offering. The job seeker, I am would be able to set and forget, that is put in all my necessary information necessary to finding employment, then wait for jobs to be sent for me to pick the most suitable one for me. The process is easy to manage for both parties, convenient and private.

Pros

I liked that the software can gather, store, organize large quantities of resumes quickly to obtain the efficiency of your skill set, keywords to identify you and set you apart for the appropriate job applied for. It also maximizes control and privacy of its audience using the staffing agency or other. The self service portal is convenient to access, sign up, saves the data and organizes, it sends the employers your way and you choose which most suits your need, sends alerts to your email or whatever form of contact chosen. It is easy to use and great assistance for the average business or job seeker. Being able to use it anytime online is a huge bonus.

Cons

With any type of technology or system software, there will be room for a bit of improvement. The access to be able to edit information could be a bit easier, and there are some associated fees connected to getting info posted on larger sites like Monster from Ziprecruiter.

### "Hands Down Best Job Board Out There"

January 10, 2022

5.0

I've been recruiting drivers for 10+ years now. I had it down to a science on when candidates were looking for jobs by the days of the week and times. I've used many other job boards before Zip Recruiter. I will never go back to those job boards and waste my money getting unqualified candidates again. Zip Recruiter is hands down the best Job Board out there and by a large margin. If you're not using Zip Recruiter for your hiring needs, you should ASAP.

Pros

Zip Recruiter gets you qualified candidates every time. Period. They post to multiple job boards for you outside of Zip Recruiter and you get what you pay for. Qualified candidates. You get assigned a Campaign Manager who works with you to get your job ad and location to where candidates are searching for them. You can create knock out questions on your ads so you don't get unqualified candidates applying which takes away valuable recruiting time. Being able to search for candidates is great too. The applicant tracking feature is also great as you can log all your activity with each applicant and make notes on your progress of hiring someone. This also helps your campaign manager see where they are at in fulfilling your hiring needs. I also like being able to rate candidates so I can hide the ones that I feel aren't a great fit or aren't qualified enough. Being able to pick and choose what kind of campaign you want to run is great too. If you want to get aggressive with your campaign, you can. If you want to scale it back for a bit, you can. You can boost ads to get more candidates and can also go with a standard campaign. The options are great.

Cons

I suppose the only con is that it is not cheap. When you run a campaign, you are given many options to the price best fits your needs. My industry is very competitive so I always campaign at a higher cost.

I made the switch because the other products just weren't getting the job done and I was wasting thousands of dollars a month with no results.

### "Easy Zip Recruiter Software"

April 23, 2022

5.0

With Zip Recruiter, I like the fact that when I post a job, it is also available on over 100 job sites. This offers more visibility for the posting and will possibly get the attention of the best candidates for the job.

Pros

What I liked most about Zip Recruiter is working with the Resume Database. This database is essential in helping to filter through thousands of resumes to find the ideal candidate I want to hire. I found the resume database extremely helpful, straight-forward and user friendly. When I offer likes or dislikes for candidates, Zip Recruiter technology gets a better understanding of the type of candidates I like and will send more candidates that suit my preferences. The resume database can quickly and easily expand your location search. The database easily lays out all of the criteria necessary to consider when selecting candidates for employment. I also like the feature with Zip Recruiter that there is always a support team available to offer assistance, if the need arises. There are many options to reach the support team, either by chat, e-mail or phone. I found that their search resume database is extremely efficient when selection details are entered into the respective candidate criteria fields. I can also use the resume database to see the candidates my company has already selected. Within the resume database, I am also able to filter through candidates by rating. This is a good feature which helps me to focus in on the best candidates for I would like to consider for hire. They have a huge network of job seekers to choose from.

Cons

Zip Recruiter offers a good opportunity for businesses to select from a wide range of candidates for open positions. However, it can be costly for a business that is only seeking to fill one job opening. In addition, the main type of jobs available on Zip Recruiter are either specialty positions, entry level jobs or manual labor.
