ZipRecruiter review
- none
- none
- none
- customer services
- Different agent told me contradicting information
- I wasn't around long enough to find out.
- It could ask potential customers to opt-in as opposed to opting out before they begin charging you after the free trial ends.
- They could bill weekly so that potential customers could not be slammed with a 30-day bill when they did not turn off their free trial listing.
ZipRecruiter is more of a scam than anything else.
- Selling their services
- Advertising
- Convincing you to use their service
- Their sign-up process is a con. They put in very small writing that they will charge you every day until you turn it off. This is something that should be very clearly stated.
- Large Database
- Invite Applicants
- Reasonable Pricing and Variety of Options (pay by day or month)
- Sales & Customer Service (Unresponsive)
As the trial neared completion, the sales representative contacted my Team Leader and was very aggressive in attempting to talk him into the highest-priced package even though it did not meet our needs whatsoever. He declined and let the rep know we'd like to proceed with the daily plan. Apparently, ZipRecruiter does not want our business as he has contacted the rep multiple times over the course of a week. When that didn't work, he contacted Customer Service whose only suggestion was to contact the rep's manager (at least they provided contact info). Now we're being ghosted by the sales manager.
It truly is mind-boggling that any legitimate organization would operate in this way. If they don't want to sell the $16/day plan, why is it even an option? I could not be more disappointed in ZipRecruiter's lack of professionalism and basic competence.

An easy to learn package for novices and smaller organizations
- It's a very easy to use interface.
- Its integrated functions and features make it easy to utilize.
- Novices can learn the system fairly quickly with limited training.
- Its reporting tools could use some enhancements, but this can be said for competitor products as well.
- Some its features, like TrafficBoost, require additional funding.
- For some organizations, its robust features may be overkill.
- The interface is nice looking.
- The trial erased ALL posting information!! The minute the trial was over they locked me out of the account and all information from the past. I was a hostage that could not see any of the applicants unless I paid for an actual subscription. Had they told me that in the beginning I would’ve printed out every resume. We will never use ZipRecruiter again!!
- Fewer candidates compared to Indeed.
User Ready
- Filter out what you are looking for.
- Accurate descriptions.
- Daily updates.
- Screen candidates a little better.
- Add some skill-testing scenarios.
- Filter out the unqualified.
Total Deception
- quickly get resumes
- False advertisement of their free trial-
- automatically enrolled in a subscription
- when you cancel your subscription, you are re-enrolled in a different plan and have to cancel that one as well
ZipRecruiter can be easy, but not always efficient.
- It is a well-known product. More and more candidates select this as where they heard about our company. It's hard to ignore the fact that it's becoming a very reputable job platform. They do quite a bit of advertising, so I'm interested in seeing how it will grow.
- Because it's grown in popularity, the candidate pool is quite large. Depending on your criteria, there are a lot of potential candidates to find.
- There is a way to rate candidates using the thumbs up/down/middle options. I enjoy having this right on the platform, rather than having to make notes about candidates.
- Fairly user-friendly - it's not the sexiest interface, but it's also not difficult to use, which is nice.
- Quality of candidates - one of the reasons we stopped using this platform is the lack of quality/qualified candidates. ZipRecruiter has an option where candidates can one-click on a type of job and their resume is posted to a variety of roles. These tools tend to make recruiters cringe, as resumes are splattered across job postings that aren't truly related to their skills. More filters for job applicants would be incredibly helpful, especially as the platform grows!
- Price - for smaller businesses that don't hire hundreds of people, the price seemed a bit high. It just wasn't worth it for us.
- Overall, just more ways to filter criteria and candidates. I struggled with finding filters based on location and/or if candidates were willing to relocate. We had candidates applying from all over that had no intention of relocating.
Additionally, although not an outrageous fee for companies that hire in large quantities, if you're putting up just 1 or 2 jobs a month, the price can be steep (especially with what you're getting).
