### "Good Job Seeking Website"

May 2, 2020

5.0

My overall experience of using ZipRecruiter is good enough for me to post job openings and to apply jobs from trust worthy employers. I understand that this software isn't all good for people because they have problems with ZipRecruiter, but for me, it's great. I get email from ZipRecruiter that I applied jobs instantly. To me, I would use this software to seek jobs all over again. If anyone wants to find a good job hunting website to seek whatever jobs the people wanted to apply, I recommend ZipRecuiter software for anyone.

Pros

I signed up to be user of ZipRecruiter to find cool jobs that's very simple to use, and also for posting job alerts for anyone who wants needs notifications of upcoming job postings from companies in the country of United States of America. After using ZipRecruiter software for a long while, I believe this a a pretty well developed software. I liked that ZipRecruiter has an optional sign up social media feature for anyone who has their Google account, Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media account to be linked with ZipRecuiter. The software can send emails to users of any job postings that match user's Resume and Cover Letter. The integration with the current business I'm working really helped me recruit many people who wanted to work with me in any place. I also see that ZipRecruiter has a Safety Red Flag button to allow job seekers to identify suspicious job postings and report it to the Trust and Safety Department, so they can view the job posting right away.

Cons

When I'm using ZipRecruiter software, I noticed that there are some features are missing that could've been used for the software. This software doesn't displayed the interview schedule availabilities set up for anyone who applied to a company and meet up for job interview. I can see that ZipRecruiters are working hard to eliminate job Scams posted by unknown employer of an unknown companies, but they still need to follow customer complaints about job postings that are considered a Scam. They should guaranteed they have a Verified Employer number and have Acceptable rating via Better Business Bureau. That way customers will be able to apply to jobs in all confidence realizing respected companies and will help benefit job candidates.

### "User friendly and widely distributive"

October 26, 2023

5.0

Its simple and really a user friendly in the web and the app most what i like in it is that it's always alerts me when a job is available it gives me the opportunity to not miss the chance to be the first to apply to a job.

Pros

I can say that What i like the most in it is : The Wide Job Distribution as ZipRecruiter has a vast network and distributes job postings to numerous job boards, User-Friendly Interface and the most important thing that is the Job Alert Notifications.

Cons

The Thing that bothers me is when it give me an Inaccurate Job Matches for me from time to time and the Competition from Other Candidates as the wide distribution of job postings on ZipRecruiter.

### "A great time saver"

April 8, 2023

4.0

I find it easy to use and navigate through. It's very simple to fill out the applications or to upload your resume. The jobs are categorized really well by all filters. For position, job type , and more. I've used it as an employee and as an applicant and it really is a time saver

Pros

I like the categories applicants are put in. This way it saves time going through only the ones for that field or place of employment. It saves time for employees so they only are shown what is in that field or company and employers save time not looking at applicants not looking or qualified for that job

Cons

Sometimes it shows the applicants jobs not related to that job they're looking for

### "Sometimes Frustrating"

March 20, 2019

4.0

I found that there were some different jobs on this site that weren't on others (careerbuilder, indeed). Applying was frustrating as described. There was no way to follow up. I felt like I applied and my application fell into a black hole. I never knew if the employer received it. Looking for a job is very frustrating and time-consuming. Better search criteria are SO helpful to narrow down opportunities and focus on the better fit opportunities. I did not receive one single "call back" on my application for the 2 + years I used this site to apply for positions. I had better luck with Indeed. (Additionally, Indeed is more favored by employers and I found more listings on that site.)

Pros

the job descriptions were usually clear and the "ad" was nicely laid out and visually appealing. Information about the job hours and benefits were clear so I didn't waste time applying for a position that I later found out didn' fit my needs. There was also the option of requesting a salary range if none was given. However, I found most employers did not respond to the request. The option of getting more information on a job is very appealing and it would have been a great feature to be able to offer that.

Cons

When you click on the apply, the site automatically sends your last saved resume and cover letter. Since I feel it is very important to customize the cover letter for the position, I was frustrated that if I clicked reply, my information was sent and there was no way to resend a cover letter. This was a big negative because I had a varied background and needed to emphasize why I was a good match. I also needed to explain my decision to switch careers and except a position that was a lot different than my previous one. Also, there was no way to follow up on jobs that I applied for. The information on some positions was not enough to make a decision whether to apply. I realize that information depends a lot on the employer but sometimes, the job description needed more "meat". I am an older professional and was not interested in applying for every job that listed in my field.

### "ZipRecruiter really take your recruitment to the next level"

February 10, 2022

5.0

My time-management has improved so much by using ZipRecruiter. Recruiting candidates for open positions use to be too time-consuming for me. Thank you, ZipRecruiter!

Pros

ZipRecruiter does so much, for so little money. I will never go back to hiring without it. ZipRecruiter frees up so much of my time to do other things. Try ZipRecruiter and set yourself free of the of the old fashion recruitment process.

Cons

I have been using ZipRecruiter for approximately 7 months. I can't think of any cons yet, however, I will update this review if I find some. I am pleased with the efficiency of ZipRecruiter thus far.

### "ZipRecruiter rocks"

May 24, 2022

5.0

My experience was it recruiter has been extremely positive. When I first started using it I didn't quite understand everything about ZipRecruiter but you don't when you start anything. As I used it over time I learned real well how to find jobs. How to search resumes how to find Pacific employees it's just so positive how you can find what you're looking for and one single place and that ZipRecruiter.

Pros

What I like most about ZipRecruiter is there's professional they help you get employees. They help you get the employees that you're looking for specifically. All you got to do is tell ZipRecruiter what kind of employee that you want what kind of experience they need and they hook you up. Also if you're looking for Pacific jobs the job board allows you to do that I've got work from ZipRecruiter not only employees but work I've made money from zipper true it's awesome I highly recommend ZipRecruiter without a doubt.

Cons

There's nothing I can really say that is least liked about ZipRecruiter. ZipRecruiter has been nothing but professional honest and helpful since I started using it recruiter for employees or jobs. The best thing I can say is thank you ZipRecruiter two thumbs up.

### "Zipping Your Way Into a New Job with Zip Recruiter"

June 12, 2020

5.0

Zip Recruiter|was so easy to use and provided me with so many options for employment, it did not take long for me to be able to find temporary contract work to hold me over during the Covid-19 crisis until my place of business was ready to reopen. It is so very easy to use and upload your resume, check off your preferences, select your salary preferences, your pay hourly preferences, and if you wanted to work remotely or at a physical location. It also allows you to set physical boundaries of how far you are willing to commute from your home, if you're looking for part-time or full-time or contract work. And the ZipRecruiter platform takes care of all the rest. I highly recommend this software for anyone who is hunting forehead job and does not want check the job boards daily, they also will let you know how many people searching for that position and how many spots are available. Definitely job hunting has become world's easier with this awesome platform. And although I have found new employment, albeit temporary, I will continue to use ZipRecruiter on a daily basis going forward until the next best thing comes along.

Pros

In the very unfortunate and trying times if the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us found ourselves either out of work or with extremely reduced hours or pay. Which unfortunately meant the dreaded thing no one wants to do, looking for a new job, a second job, a third job or a temporary job to fill the time until our old positions were back up and running. Not only did this mean job hunting, but considering the amount of people out of work, it often meant looking for jobs that were nowhere near your wheelhouse or for safety sake, were remote positions. ZipRecruiter made this as easy as one click on your computer or mobile device.

Cons

The only con I found with this software is really one that is self-imposed and can easily be turned off with the click of a mouse. And that is when Zip recruiter funds a position that based on your resume and your personal preferences. It got to the point where my phone was continually dinging or vibrating to let me know that a job was available that matched my preferences.

### "The name implies it all, ZipRecruiter will find you qualified candidates quickly"

May 28, 2021

4.0

ZipRecruiter has helped us fill many positions and when needed, customer service is very good.

Pros

The pricing for ZipRecruiter is significantly less than their direct competitors that use job opening posts sent to the over 100 job boards. Your ability to add qualifying questions for applicants has been very helpful in determining who is really meeting your prerequisite interview status and if they pay attention to detail and answer your question(s) as you have instructed. The amount of applications received is significant to eventually get enough qualified candidates to schedule consecutive interviews within one week.

Cons

If you cancel a job post for any reason you must still contact them to cancel their auto drafting of monthly fees. Although their customer service is good, an employer should be able to say I am finished using your service and restart again when necessary and then resume with monthly billing until not needed once again. There is a feature to pay a minimal amount to keep your applicants on file and that should be able to be put in place by the account owner when that is necessary without having to call into customer service.

### "Not biting the bait anymore... "

March 6, 2019

3.0

Honestly, if I need to look for a job or offer one, I will definitely go to another application. I would not like my job offers to be sent like spam messages and I would not like anybody to link my business to a company that sends bait emails and texts.

Pros

The things I like about the ZipRecruiter software are probably the obvious. I can search for jobs, within my desired zones, my field of expertise and then filter it using distance, salary and conditions. But apart from this, services are average.

Cons

Sadly, the list of cons is larger than the list of pros. 1- I really dislike the bait messages I get from them. Like: "Interior Designers needed in Garland" or "This job offers $72K per year" You open the message and there are no jobs in the area selected or with the salary shown. But hey, you have opened their message and sometimes what they probably hope is that we click on it just because we are there already. This is very disappointing and uses the methods all spammers do. 2- I have also tried the texting options. Same thing. Whenever I get the "Hey, found a job you might like" it rarely has something to do with my preferences. 3- The aspect of the app and website when you open it, although it is clean and easy to read, lacks personality and sometimes it is hard to know where you are standing. Most job offers don't show a proposed salary. You need to click and a message is sent to the company offering the job. My question here is: do those companies get a message like: "Carmen would like to know how much does this company offer before applying" because if this is the case I just don't like it.

### "ZipRecruiter customer genuine review "

July 28, 2020

5.0

ZipRecruiter solves many business problems like an easy way to find numerous number of jobs on only one platform. The best problems it solves in you can promote small and large businesses and also post jobs in that area. There are many benefits which I have realized such as free job searches for the registered users. The benefit really helps the user who cannot pay money for the product. Moreover, you are just few clicks away to applying for millions of jobs around the world. You just need to put a right resume, your contact details and you are good to search for jobs you like.

Pros

There are many features which are most impactful such as you can search for jobs online. The number of jobs posting on the website is huge and this is the main reason why many people around the country use this product. Furthermore, you can also use this not only on your Android and ios phone, but also on computer and this make the product easy to handle. In addition to this, the integration is easy with our existing business processes. Anyone can easily integrate the product with multiple platforms and use the application from them.

Cons

There are many features which I feel are missing such as direct contact with recruiters and the companies which posted the jobs. In addition to this, the premium and advanced feature could be improved so that users will get much more benefits of finding jobs in the paid version. Moreover, there are no aspects of the product which I feel are difficult to use. Any user with simple computer and mobile knowledge can easily use this product. In addition to this, the integration of this software is not difficult with our existing business processes. People can easily integrate the software with multiple platforms in a business.

### "Making job applications a breeze!"

February 6, 2019

4.0

If you are looking for a fast and easy experience for looking/applying for jobs, ZipRecruiter should definitely be the first place you look at! It is one of my favorite job search engines out there, as it allows me to look at numerous job openings all at once. Saving some positions to apply to later can definitely come in handy when I need to be somewhere else, but if the quick apply option is there, that cuts down on my time and with just a click I am all done.

Pros

I have used ZipRecruiter to search and apply for many jobs, not only for me but for my husband as well. Here's what I love the most about it: - The ease of finding a job and location using the search tool. - The positions recommendations it gives (which leads to many other potential positions I may overlook), even in nearby locations of the zipcode I input. - The "Quick Apply" feature which saves me a ton of time of not having to enter my information again and again. - The ability to check back and look at all the "Applied Jobs" I've applied to. This gives me a way to check on the status of my application. Most importantly, I am able to see if the employer has or has not viewed my application.

Cons

Personally, I don't think the "Am I Qualified?" button is very helpful. I've tried it before, but it would have me enter my email and yet I wouldn't receive anything. Also, many times I would get an email that says that ZipBot has a message waiting for me and when I press on the link to check my messages on my account, I don't find any. Even when the message icon is clearly showing me that there are messages waiting for me, I can never seem to find any when I press on it. Also, I used to get a lot of emails about job recommendations which would completely overload my inbox. Yes, I would like to receive job recommendations to apply for, but not the amount that I was being sent on a daily basis. I wish there was an option to limit those.

### "ZipRecruiter offers free and convenient job search capabilities"

March 26, 2019

4.0

I had lost my position recently and used ZipRecruiter to browse and apply for jobs and to make my resume available to employers. Other than some needed editing improvements for the onsite resume builder, the site was easy to use and was beneficial to my job search. The most notable feature is the alerts section that will inform you if your resume has been viewed (and even viewed multiple times by the same employer).

Pros

The notifications that inform you when your resume has been viewed is a great feature.

Cons

It is convenient to be able to edit an onsite resume. However, whenever a new resume is created (such as a file upload that is parsed) the online resume is automatically altered. Many times this is not for the better as formatting and wording is lost. It is also not possible to reorder (that I can find) entries in the online resume. For example, reordering job positions seems impossible (so be sure to enter them correctly at first).

### "ZipRecruiter is still going strong!"

August 15, 2019

5.0

ZipRecruiter is great for assisting our clients in smaller to mid-size markets where we don't have a large candidate flow already in place. ZipRecruiter lets us target candidates with greater detail than other services. Example: Targeting a specific suburb or zip code of Chicago instead of (LinkedIn) "The Greater Chicago Area" - This ability to dig into locations and source from the database is outstanding!

Pros

Overall ZipRecruiter seems to be experiencing a resurgence in attracting high caliber applicants within the service industry from what I've seen overall in the last year. The database is another great tool that gives us access to candidates that we wouldn't get on other platforms such as Indeed. Not only that, but I feel it's a higher level of professional candidates across the board. The user interface is very easy to learn and you can customize alerts to your liking.

Cons

I felt for a while the site was a little dated, but it appears that they've modernized their look, user interface and are still able to attract top-notch talent. I think the value for service is greater when you're able to buy in larger quantities than on an individual basis, but that's the nature of the business.

Switched from

[Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/)

The value of the service ZipRecruiter over Indeed is night and day. I don't have to sort through countless applications that are not even remotely relevant to the position I post.

### "The Best Job Posting Software"

May 5, 2020

4.0

This is the best software which we can use. I respect the customer service as they give you instant solutions for the problem faced at any time. Its lot worth than what is paid. Using it for a week you will be an expert in this. As i told you u’ll get a notification if a candidate applies for a job posting. We have a lot of such candidates who have got job in top 20 companies in US. If the above mentioned problem is sorted out i would like to give a rating of 10/10

Pros

it’s easy to use and also less complex it makes a user’s day easy. It has its own dashboard which make a user easy to Annalise the number of jobs posted and the total number of candidates to whom job posting to is reached. Advantage is that as soon as the candidates apply for the job posting we can get the mail instantly. This is why i call this as the best software and the cost of the software is a lot worth than what is charged. It has a customised job posting format which can be made use of because of this a lot time is saved and the way the job is posted will make a candidate go through the Job discretion easily. It has a lot of option in it like the addition of key skills, address, and the title of job, salary range, client name and the interview details. As so much of information is given about the job, candidates refer to Zip Recruiter due to which you can get a lot of candidates who are in search of job “more candidates give you more business that’s the logic". Arrangement of the options in the software is arranged in an excellent way. So it’s easy for a new user to understand the format and the process. Good customer service which i appreciate. As soon as you have any problem over software you can go through the help option were u’ll get the customer service support instantaneously which makes this software rank 1 compared to other.

Cons

Some candidates who are not relevant to the job posting will apply for the job that’s the main disadvantage. When a candidate applies of the job position we will get a notification but certain candidates profile cannot be viewed.

### "Easy to feel productive"

November 6, 2019

3.0

I used this app for a while and it is amazing how easy it is to apply for jobs. It takes maybe 2 clicks and your application is submitted. It makes me question the point of a lot of employer websites that have a 30 minute application process just to reply “we have carefully reviewed your submission and we have decided to explore other options.” It makes me frustrated knowing I spent so much time to find the HR department’s phone number of my employer from 6 years ago because I couldn’t submit the application without it only to receive the same denial letter I received from a ZipRecruiter application that took me all of about 4 seconds to submit. Which brings me to my next point: what good is an easy application process if I don’t get the job? For what benefit is it to a man to gain the world but lose his soul? No, seriously, though. I’m asking: is this truly a “better” job search app (for me) if I did not get a job from this app? It’s great to be “efficient” and all but the end result is what matters. I ended up getting a job elsewhere, without a job search app or recruiter or anything. so perhaps this app is good in other ways than getting a job, because in the end it only made me feel productive.

Pros

The ease of use for this product is like no other job search site I’ve seen; it optimizes your time.

Cons

It may be a bit unfair to evaluate an app based on my own success or failures (which have many factors), but it is important to note that I never got a job through this app.

July 17, 2019

This is a great tool to utilize for reaching other audiences but if you have strict hiring guidelines for posting, brand standards, tracking, etc, it may be better to stick with an already internal system for posting.

Pros

ZipRecruiter was a product that we attempted to use to post hiring opportunities outside of our normal HR pages. I will say that customer support was absolutely amazing at connecting with us and working with us when we encountered things we didn't understand or had posting difficulties. In our local area we unfortunately have a lot of jobs posting so this didn't work for us to reach the audience we intended for it to reach due to qualifications we required. Something that really stood out about this product is how mobile and device friendly it is. Unfortunately we have used sites or products before that aren't really accessibility friendly, but this was a dream for viewing on phones especially. You can also create pre-screen interview questions. This really helped us kind of eliminate candidates that were not good fits; it really helps as a pre-screening process so your ad or posting doesn't have to contain so much information or qualifications/requirements that it's almost overwhelming to read. This was very easy for our marketing staff to utilize with posting on social media as well, so that was a cool feature to use to reach other individuals outside of the immediate product posting where people would search for jobs.

Cons

The interface was hard for me to use personally just because we are so familiar with working with our own HR posting sites which already have pre-designed templates and brand-standard posting options. While this wasn't personally my cup of tea for a software, I did appreciate the job board options you can use. Rather than having a kind of physical job board for posting, you can search lots of options. It's easier to reach a larger audience, and applicants can use this to post multiple things at once or submit multiple apps at once.

### "ZipRecruiter is a scam to get people's personal information"

October 27, 2021

SCAM ALERT: ZipRecuiter is a scam to get people's personal information. See my "cons" above for explanation why.

Pros

Nothing.

Cons

Where to start. I applied for hundreds of jobs on ZipRecruiter. I only had one company actually reach out. When they did, things seemed very off. Almost like it wasn't even a person at the actual company. The person couldn't answer basic questions about the job or company, and quickly ended the call when I got too inquisitive. I was also "invited" to apply to hundreds of jobs. Many times supposedly by companies themselves, only to never hear back. Here's why it is a scam to get your personal info, without a doubt. After applying to many jobs and never hearing back, I'd find the exact same job (same description, company, etc.) and apply for it on LinkedIn. More than 50% of the time, I'd hear back from a recruiter with the company within 72 hours. I finally started asking recruiters about the situation on ZipRecruiter, and every single time they indicated they never saw my resume come across. Almost every time the recruiter I was speaking to was the only one that would have gotten the resumes. That tells me right there that it's a scam. After that, I never used it again and deleted my account. Stay away from ZipRecruiter unless you want them to have your personal info.

### "It is a very good platform"

October 27, 2023

5.0

Although it doesn't have as many options as indeed.com, I still use ziprecruiter because they have more online opportunities

Pros

What I liked about this page is that they constantly send me notifications of recent employment opportunities based on my job search and they also notify me if the recruiter viewed my application

Cons

Unlike indeed.com they do not have a space where you can connect directly with the recruiter
