Our recruiters use ZipRecruiter to search for qualified candidates for our client's open job orders. We also use ZipRecruiter to search for internal employees. ZipRecruiter allows us to invite multiple qualified candidates to our office to interview for open positions. Not only does ZipRecruiter save time in our office but it also allows our recruiters to be productive in selecting the candidates that best fit our needs. We have been working with ZipRecruiter for the past 5 years and will continue to use their services.

The ads make it sound like they give u great leads and if you pay the prem you get even better candidates. I posted a need for a builder, a person with construction experience. What do I get for 24 bucks a DAY!!!! Pizza delivery drivers! Worst service EVER!!! And the rep will not take my calls or return my emails! I could hardly get anyone to help me cancel. I will continue to report these people because my God I need a qualified person that’s why I put my job on their site and what did I get less money in my bank account, that’s what I got!

ZipRecruiter failed to gather any promising candidates for the job we posted. Despite claiming they posted the job to hundreds of job boards.

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.

We opted to trial ZipRecruiter after trying Indeed last year and given our usual channel for promoting openings (LinkedIn) is not proving effective right now. I asked my Sales Development Team Leader to test it and provide pricing options, as well as a recap of his experience. We have other openings in the organization now and other department managers have been curious about our experience.

We are a small non-profit with one half-time employee. That person is leaving so we posted the job with ZipRecruiter. We received 26 resumes with the most bizarre experience. One was close to our job description and [I found that] the rest were ridiculously unacceptable and obviously not really looking to apply for this job. [To me,] it was a tremendous waste of our time and money.

I'm a semi-retired Solutions Architect looking for Part-Time Remote Work.

ZipRecruiter has many such job postings.

I have asked their Technical Support how to structure the Query so that it Answers MY Request.

[I believe] they just send me the same formal reply that [does] NOT Come close to Answering My Specific Question.

I applaud their efforts to use AI to minimize their Human Costs.

But, [I feel] they are failing for BOTH Search and Alerts!!!

Our organization used ZipRecruiter when trying to recruit highly skilled professionals for our executive team. We do not use ZipRecruiter across our entire organization, but only within our corporate HQ. ZipRecruiter is great at finding very skilled employees. ZipRecruiter addresses the issue of receiving limited job applicants since it enables us to search for individuals that meet our specific criteria even though they may have not applied to directly to our position. We can then invite them to apply or contact them directly if we believe they are a fit.

Great benefits in getting more quality candidates and much less time to hire, have been of crucial to the growth of the business and has made the company build a quality team and expand the business to get high productivity, it is an incredible team building tool. it has the option to incorporate a job widget, which lists all open jobs, on the company website. Very useful in helping to put our opportunities in front of substantially more effective candidates.

We are using ZipRecruiter throughout the whole organization and we have a 10 job slot package to recruit for a company with about 1,000 employees. We use it for employment advertising and posting open positions. We first started using ZipRecruiter in 2015 after a free-trial offer and found that it generates the candidates needed to fill certain hard to fill specialty positions. We found that it works great for positions in building maintenance and other skilled positions.

Helps you find employees or employees fast and cuts through all of the unnecessary jobs to find you the ones that are catered to you or find the candidates that skills are catered to your business. Highly recommed!

We were hiring for a position in our Credit Department and used ZipRecruiter to post that position. I have only used it for that department. It helped us to receive and filter through candidates for this position.

As the Executive Director of a rural skilled nursing campus, we faced the challenge of recruiting nurses to our community. I reached out to ZipRecruiter for assistance in solving this issue. I was assigned a recruitment specialist that understood our need and how to best approach our recruitment strategy. I was very impressed with the way ZipRecruiter maintained communication and made adjustments to our recruitment strategy during our campaign. ZipRecruiter was mindful of our budget and maximized those funds to the most impactful areas. We were able to attract a handful of nurses to our community by working with ZipRecruiter. I would utilize ZipRecruiter for future recruitment campaigns.

We used this platform across our entire organization. It helped increase our viability for our open positions by adding to multiple recruiting sites. We operate within multiple markets so it is important to utilize multiple sites in order to get a good selection of qualified candidates. It was different than the other sites we have used.

We are a consulting company, providing HR and recruiting support to our clients. We post at least 3 openings at any given time, usually the ones that do not require complex sourcing. We use our own ATS to post all the openings, then use a link to our ATS when positing jobs to Zip. The 3 openings package fits our needs most of the time.

It is used in our organization alongside a few other platforms. It is being used across the whole organization, and it addresses issues in trying to find suitable applicants for our positions. As a school in a small area, it can be hard sometimes to find people who are qualified for the position but ZipRecruiter brings those applicants to us.

I have gained much of the benefits from the whole recruiting procedure which had allowed me to gain more insights about the right candidates and connecting me with them. It allows me to filter the high caliber candidates in a more efficient way rather than the standard channels which only brings out the available individuals. It always led me towards making the right choices for me as well as for my company.

I currently use ZipRecruiter to post any open positions that my company has a need to fill. I am the only one out of my Human Resource department to use it but they all have access to it if needed. It's a great resource to review resumes of applicants and connect with any candidates if needed. I am able to make any changes to my open positions at any time if needed which is nice because if we are not getting many candidates we can try to make it more appealing to a certain pool of talent.

ZipRecruiter is used across all departments of our business. It is one of the best hiring tools we have, and since we are a small business it is hard for us to post on our own site for candidates. Having a one-stop job posting site is the best HR solution that a business like us needs.

We have used ZipRecruiter as a way for us to identify the best candidates without wasting a lot of time having to go through a lot of resumes and cover letters that are not relevant to the roles we need to fill. This is important because when we are looking to hire we don't have a lot of leeway with the experience we require and the time in which we need to get new hires on board.
