LinkedIn Recruiter provides a very actualized database of candidates, always providing information about their current status on Linkedin. You can source, recruit, communicate with candidates, and document the interactions in this platform, which makes it easier.

Chose ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter falls after LinkedIn and Indeed. I think their candidate quality, filtering, and overall ease of use are better than recruiters' platforms.
Chose ZipRecruiter
We love Indeed and Dice but I think most of my team prefers ZipRecruiter because of the quality of candidates we get across it. It also works best for us because of the pricing.
Chose ZipRecruiter
We ended up chosing ZipRecruiter because of the success rate we found of the quality of the candidates they provided to us. The Candidates we've found through ZipRecruiter have been very well suited to what we are looking for. Glassdoor didn't have the same accuracy.
Chose ZipRecruiter
I think ZipRecruiter is #2 on the list. Linkedin Recruiter is my favorite because it is easier to find and reach out to top talent. ZipRecruiter is #2 because it always delivers such quality resumes. It is easy to use and nothing is hidden. When I start working on a new job, I …

LinkedIn Recruiter is better suited in terms of the filters it provides to search for a pool of candidates. Features like past and current companies, past universities, or years of experience, AI Search, and AI message drafting do wonders in terms of recruitment. But some more filters can be added, which will help further in recruitment. For example, Boolean search in job titles, targeting specific keywords in recent experience, etc.

ZipRecruiter is great for regular, full-time positions, especially the higher paying salaried positions. I would not recommend ZipRecruiter for the highest turnover positions that are mostly part time because of the price to post on ZipRecruiter. Let me mention, I am only posting hospitality facility positions

Pros
LinkedIn
  • The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
  • It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
  • The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

ZipRecruiter
  • They notify us when there are new candidates that match our requirements
  • They give us the links of the candidates online networks, so it's all right in front of us
  • They have a great messages center, that makes it easy for me to access and reference when needed.

Cons
LinkedIn
  • For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
  • It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

ZipRecruiter
  • Better electronic screening of applicants prior to allowing them to apply for a job (i.e. when licenses are required)
  • When cancelling they require that you call them on the phone (you can't cancel online)
  • I'd prefer that subscriptions were more targeted to my hiring needs

This portals helps to source the profile directly from the LinkedIn where I don't need to check the resume and LinkedIn separately every time. LinkedIn Recruiter is the best platform for posting the job effortlessly. It requires only few details and we can get response quicker.

Have not had to utilize support recently, but in past instances they have reached out within 12 hours to help rectify any problems or answer any questions about features and functionality. The only issue I ever had with them was trying to clarify, when they previously advertised that they posted on 200+ job boards, if that meant that your job would for sure be posted on each job board. Turns out, by the way, that they only guarantee distribution, not posting

SeekOut has a diversity filter, which I like. They also list some candidates that are not on LinkedIn, but ultimately SeekOut routes me to LinkedIn. So technically SeekOut allows me to screen for filters that LinkedIn does not, but I actually end up using LinkedIn Recruiter to manage and communicate with the candidates.

ZipRecruiter is inferior when it comes to comparing it to Indeed. I use both because I want more platforms to advertise my job. However, I find myself obtaining more applicants from Indeed over ZipRecruiter. I don't count ZipRecruiter out, though, because every once in a while, you can find a gem in a haystack.

  • It's a must have for reaching passive candidates.
  • Love being able to identify candidates we may need in the future and saving them in a project.
  • It's difficult to cut through the noise using Inmails since everyone is using the tool.

  • ZipRecruiter helped us to reaching our hiring goals for 2018. We have been able to source, exempt and non-exempt candidates, in a timely fashion for our roles in the NY Metro area.
  • From a cost perspective, ZipRecruiter is more affordable than others that we have used in the past. In the end the results speak for themselves and we have had better success with Zip than other job boards we have used in the past.
