How ZipRecruiter Differs From Its Competitors

Candidate Experience

ZipRecruiter is always my backup when candidate flow is down. I keep that up at all times to catch a few applicants here and there. It's not a huge number of turnouts but I can't depend on it to bring in a couple. It's a steady flow, even if the applicants are duplicates.

Candidate Experience

The candidates were terrible. They did not match the job post as promised. There is very little focus on the auto tech field and sent resume's that were not even close to being a proper fit. This was actually really disappointing and when inquired about it I was informed I was already charged over …

Candidate Experience

I have never hired anyone from this site. There are vastly better resources, in my opinion. I would not focus my time and resources on Zip Recruiter. If ZipRecruiter is focused on sending a high volume of candidates to employers, in my book, it does not do a good job of this. If it wants to focus …

Candidate Experience

Ziprecruiter has honestly returned less qualified applicants than Indeed. I find that I can find the same applicants on Indeed and then some. I wish we had more applicant flow for our reqs. It feels like I am always repeating the same people despite how detailed I get with my posts.

ZipRecruiter does have good IT tools. It can pinpoint my need for PTCB-qualified applicants or an applicant with required management experience. I do use the sourcing tool when I am in there and rely on Zip's ability to bring up qualified people. I am then able to contact them directly.

ZipRecruiter by far is the most comprehensive recruitment platform I have used. I have tried many other recruitment platforms and none were as comprehensive as ZipRecruiter. The hands-on assistance by the ZR staff was to notch. When we have an urgent need or just want to keep interest in employment at our campus, we turn to ZipRecruiter.

Results. The bottom line is the results we are getting. We are seeing not only quality applications, but quality hires that can directly be tied to our use of ZipRecruiter. The ROI is second to none - a simple and easy to use tool that is driving healthcare professionals to my various clients.

Despite the advantages Glassdoor and LinkedIn have over ZipRecruiter, it still fills a very powerful role. We have tested other software to fill this role, and no other service is as effective. Because of this, we have recently renewed our ZipRecruiter subscription for the next year, and encourage other small businesses to give it a try.

We are evaluating our budget and not sure where ZipRecruiter stands in reference to cost vs hire. There was something sent to us saying that we would get a hire in 30 days or our money back; we haven't actually received a hire from ZipRecruiter as yet, and that is being used to see if we renew.
