    LinkedIn and Indeed.com have free options which I think helps them considerably. We are able to see many more applicants on Indeed.com because of the option for a free job posting. LinkedIn doesn't offer much and we have not seen anything positive from its use.

    Indeed is our number 1 platform that helps us fill the most jobs. We have a high success rate with them. It is one of the biggest money makers for our recruiters in our company. If we had to end a contract with any of our platforms Indeed would be the last on the list to go.

    It is better than the more expensive tools like Dice and Ladders. Indeed does offer the option to post nationwide as with ZipRecruiter you have to have a city state to post in and only mark the job remote.

    Its geo targeting and search features made it easy to source people from specific sites and places, also it post the jobs to various platforms at the same time. AI should be more advanced so that we can get some high position profiles because it does not work as good on the high end roles as compared to the low end roles.

    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

    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.

    • 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.
