Overall Satisfaction with ZipRecruiter
We use ZipRecruiter to post our active job listings. Our sourcing/recruiting department uses it. It gives us the opportunity to share our job openings, and attract talent within an hour (or less)! ZipRecruiter has been a source for us over the past several years. However, we are seeing an increase in quality over quantity, which is definitely a step in the right direction. We have successfully found candidates that have amazing experience and are actively searching. I really like the features that allow us to see who is actively on the job market so we can contact active job seekers right away.
- 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.
- We have hired some fantastic candidates through ZipRecruiter. Our ROI, in that case, was a quality hire for our clients.
- We have spent (in the past, especially) a lot of time sorting through resumes of candidates that were unqualified. The negative impact here was the loss of time sorting and responding to unqualified applicants.
- We use their sourcing tool frequently to search for candidates with specific keywords. Over the years the search parameters have expanded, and it has allowed us to hone on in specific skills a bit easier.
The great thing about ZipRecruiter is that you have access to all of the archived roles and can see candidate activity per each job posting. What has helped with this feature, is that we are able to search for candidates, see their history and often times consider other candidates for other job postings that we later post. This is fluid when we use ZipRecruiter as a main source for our job roles. It has impacted us positively.
We have use the Proactive Outreach when we post the next jobs, and it helps us to identify job seekers that may be a fit for the role. This allows us to save some time to get connected to quality talent that we may not have known about otherwise. We have also relied on ZipRecruiter's job description templates to get started with roles that we have to post that we don't have templates for.
We think that ZipRecruiter should be a part of the job board portfolio. To be clear not all roles are best for ZipRecruiter, and so we monitor closely how long we have each position posted for, the number of applicants, and the quality of applicants. However, we rely on other job boards for consistency in sourcing for all roles. That being said, ZipRecruiter's quality has improved and we will continue o use it as an option.

We had used ZipRecruiter in the past, and it has grown progressively over the years to support our ongoing staffing needs.
We would not change anything.

No. We are fairly comfortable with what we use ZipREcruiter for and have not had many tech issues.
We were interested in expanding our job posting slots, and got connected to a very knowledge sales rep who walked us through what made sense for our business size and current needs at the time. It was very helpful to identify so that we knew how to scale correctly when we were ready.
