Worth It.
- Quick Posting Times.
- It's fairly priced.
- Where they choose to run ads is smart.
- Larger talent base.
- They run a lot of commercials.
- The interface is good.
- Low candidate quality.
- AI, who sends jobs to your candidate or brings them to the forefront for you to contact, is mediocre.
- Volume did not impress me, either.
- I just wonder if this is even a good sight for tech companies... I am not sure as I have tried it several times and never even been close to satisfied.
- I have never hired a candidate that came to me as a result of Zip Recruiter in the last 5+ years.
Easy to use and saves time.
- Ease of use.
- Cost-efficient.
- Good candidates.
- Offer pricing deals by company size or recruitment headcount.
Me and my team LOVE ZipRecruiter
- Excellent pricing
- It is very easy to use. My team never had any issues trying to see how it worked.
- Backed up by great support. They were very helpful.
- Free trial doesnt offer much.
You get what you pay for.
- Gets posted and advertises your positions.
- Screening candidates, we receive horrible resumes, and a lot of them.
Ziprecruiter up to par?
- Source Pharmacy Techs.
- Screen applicants for desired skills.
- Ease of use when posting jobs.
- More qualified applicants.
- Stop repeating the same applicants.
- Transparent Pricing.
- Very clunky interface.
- No way to build projects for sourcing.
ZipRecruiter gives my company an advantage!
- 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.
- The only thing I can think of is, I don't prefer the unecessary emails I get from ZipRecruiter that don't pertain to my business, or what we use ZipRecruiter for.
- I can't think of anything else that needs to be better
- I can't think of anything else that needs to be better
A scenario that is less approprate, and doesn't fit my or my businesses needs, is when ZipRecruiter sends out marketing emails that do not pertain to my business, or what we use ZipRecruiter for.
Still quantity over quality, but getting much better!
- Job postings.
- Sourcing resumes.
- Screening candidates.
- Better screening tools for candidates who apply to open jobs.
- Auto-screeners that can be conducted via recorded phone call.
- Option for candidates to identify when they are open to relocating.
- Messaging features- would be nice to have a template included in direct messaging.
ZipRecruiter is well suited for businesses of any size, who post jobs with entry-level and/or general skillsets. This would include an administrative assistant, customer service professional, or data entry associate. For roles like these, you can expect at least 50 applications, with the opportunity to collect resumes from all backgrounds. ZipRecruiter is not the best suited for highly specialized roles. We find that other job boards have a more robust pipeline of candidates, who, with specialized skillsets, tend to post their resumes. This may include a specialized Marketing professional, IT developer, etc.
Overpriced
- Sign up job posting is easy
- Job poster has option to set amount they are willing to spend
- Monthly subsription
Zip on Over to ZipRecruiter
- Easy to sort by time, location, keyword
- Easy to use in general-- nothing confusing
- Top resume database for recruiting
- The industry choices are limited and not ideal.
- When you type a boolean it sometimes "enters" on its own and makes you retype it all out.
- Have to buy resume reviews and we run out frequently. Definitely expensive platform.
- 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.
$780 and ZERO qualified candidates - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
- Charge you a LOT of Money and COLLECT money from you
- Call you when you cancel your jobs to offer a way to collect more money
- Get you candidates that have nothing to do with your listed job
- Provide qualified candidates! That would be cool!
- Provide feedback on best plans BEFORE you pay in big money and cancel them subsequently
- Close their ripoff business model and save business owners the headache
- Having the ability to search resumes for qualified candidates is a definite time saver.
- You can search multiple applicants, add notes to their profile and rate the candidates.
- You can send group emails to candidates for clients that have multiple job openings.
- You have the ability to search for candidates by keyword, City, Zip, or even by setting a radius from your location.
- Recruiters should have the ability to see if a candidate that has already been contacted. Some candidates apply to several open positions with our company and we have multiple recruiters contacting the same candidate.
- Ratings do not always show up after reviewing a candidate. This causes the candidate to be contacted more than once by the same office.
Great at taking my money worst at providing anyone qualified!
- Nothing
- They are good at taking your money
- And not finding you a qualified person
- Let’s go with sending me people I asked for not pizza delivery drivers for my CONSTRUCTION JOB!
- Stop false advertising
- Don’t upsell if you cannot deliver!
Horrible
- Nothing
- Accounts
I was charged almost $500 for posting the job for 18 days straight. At no time during that process was I notified of any candidates. I was also never informed to check in and see how the posting was performing. Because of this, the daily rate continued to rack up charges on our card, only realizing this astronomical charge when paying the CC this month.
We will never used ZipRecruiter simply because they didn't not deliver us any results at all. With this horrible performance, the best they could offer is a half refund, which in these times is simply unacceptable. Steer clear of ZipRecruiter. Concurrently we used Indeed as a hiring platform and received many qualified applicants we were able to hire on the spot. Pitiful service and platform.
- Neglecting to tell you about charges accumulating despite not delivering any results
- Daily ad updates to reflect on performance
- Reminders that our ad was running
- Post optimization to attract candidates
Twice the cost. 1/10th the value
- Trying to sell you a larger package.
- Increasing rates.
- Lowering value.
- It would be nice if they would actually have software that works.
Last year I had 50 job openings posted, and in 5 days, got over 350 applicants. In a middle of a pandemic! The same jobs were posted for the same time period this year and I have 37 applicants. 1/10th of what they did last year. 18 of the ads have been viewed by no one!
Last year I was paying $1400/month for the ads this year they want $3000.
They recommended opening a new account. Did that and paid $2000 for 20 ads. Barely any improvement. This company used to be great. Now, you should use Indeed or Glassdoor.
