Overall Satisfaction with ZipRecruiter

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.
  • 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
  • Finding qualified candidates, however they failed to do so.
  • Totally negative
  • Was charged almost $500 for ZERO results.
Indeed delivered quality candidates without the scamming and secret charges accumulating in the background.
