Indeed is far and above the best in its space! I have used others like ZipRecruiter and Monster, etc. but Indeed tends to be where we get the most applicants, we use that pool to do our interviews and then ultimately hire from our applicants from Indeed. The functionality is …
Other than Indeed, we have used ZipRecruiter and LinkedIn as our other options depending on the pressure we're feeling to fill a given role. Other options we have used have been Monster and Careerbuilder but weren't that happy with the results that we got on with those …
We have also used ZipRecruiter in the past. ZipRecruiter is very easy to use and you get a quick response from applicants. I used both Indeed.com and ZipRecruiter at the same time but Indeed.com overshadowed ZipRecruiter by the many qualified candidates and amount of …
ZipRecruiter is current. Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com were used in the past. As far as amount of applicant flow, Indeed.com is head and shoulders above the others. We get a lot of applicants that are not qualified at all, but that happens with any job board.
ZipRecruiter costs more money but you do seem to get a better quality of resume. Although even with ZipRecruiter we didn't necessarily always fill the position with the resumes we received. Given the choice I would prefer free rather then paying if I am not going to get a …

Chose Indeed.com
Each one has its positives and negatives. If you are a job seeker the site to use would be Indeed.com because they list a lot of jobs. If you are an employer just use the job posting features instead of the resume search.
Indeed stacks up against these organizations because all 4 are available to find matching jobs near you. I have used all these webs and can sincerely say that Indeed is the BEST one because to does not sugar quote and does not make you doubt anything about the listed job. …

Chose Indeed.com
[Indeed.com] brings in far more candidates that are also more qualified for the positions we have available. Indeed is also the most affordable and user friendly.
Job Advertising effectiveness (taking into account ROI on cost/hire) Indeed ranks #1 and has for years based on my data LinkedIn is stronger for outbound sourcing/recruiting The ability to add filters/questions to your posted roles is better than other sites by far
Indeed has great reach and so many applicants are aware of Indeed to use as a job search engine. You will certainly get the most action on your job posting when you post it on Indeed. A job posted and promoted on Indeed will yield hundreds of applicants vs. other job posting …
[Indeed.com's] reputation as the #1 job site makes it easy to hire new talent. You'll have access to the biggest job pool, and you can customize your job posting to hire the way you want, even if you don't use all of Indeed's features (many of which need improvement).
I have experience with all the major job posting sites (ie. Monster, Indeed, ZipRecruiter), and each site has its pros and cons! Small companies are worried about the cost of each site; Indeed is cheaper from my experience. Indeed has tons of internal resources and can help you …
I also use Indeed which is the nations leading job site with millions of job listings and millions of applicants. Applicants can upload their resumes or make a resume on Indeed and then apply to any position for free. As an applicant seeking employer, I can filter through …
We have also used Indeed.com to gather candidates. I do prefer it to ZipRecruiter. It had more functionality, and there was the option to post jobs for free, without having to pay after a certain amount of time.
ZipRecruiter is cheaper than CareerBuilder but more expensive than Indeed.com and LinkedIn Jobs. I only use the free feature of Indeed since Indeed.com's pay per click model did not work for our company and was the most expensive option. I feel that out of all 4, LinkedIn is …
ZipRecruiter beats out both Indeed and LinkedIn for executive level hires although its cost and talent pool (high quality talent) make it impractical for lower tiered hires, where we prefer to use Indeed. For the price, ZipRecruiter has had a much higher ROI for us than LinkedIn.
Indeed delivered quality candidates without the scamming and secret charges accumulating in the background.

Chose ZipRecruiter
I haven't chosen ZipRecruiter over the other products I use. I use them together to bring in as many applicants as possible. ZipRecruiter is priced well and provides support for multiple areas of business.
We love Indeed and Dice but I think most of my team prefers ZipRecruiter because of the quality of candidates we get across it. It also works best for us because of the pricing.
I think ZipRecruiter is #2 on the list. Linkedin Recruiter is my favorite because it is easier to find and reach out to top talent. ZipRecruiter is #2 because it always delivers such quality resumes. It is easy to use and nothing is hidden. When I start working on a new job, I …
Robust cloud database with updated profile as opposed to the rest which has a model that works just as a job board, you will save a lot of time targeting ideal talent. Also, ZipRecruiter is easy to set up with a very easy user interface, and their customer care & support team …
These other recruitment companies didn’t offer the same level of involvement and resources as ZipRecruiter. The ZR portal and support services were on another level. With similar pricing ZR was by far the better investment opportunity for our organization. We did try these …
I think both are great, but I think that ZipRecruiter wins here as it helps both the applicant and the company find each other to make sure there the position is a perfect fit for both. I also think that ZipRecruiter has a better laid out platform and that their app is more …
ZipRecruiter is by far the easiest platform to use for posting, and better still is that the qualified candidates we see so early on help us run our business without the worries that usually come with other hiring platforms. At the end of the day, time truly is money, and we …
Well suited for searching the database for qualified resources, not well suited for those posting jobs. That is especially true if the job posted has a broader appeal, or applies to many job seekers, since it will attract hundreds that you will not have time to review. We have found that 1 in 20 are even qualified and have the basic requirements for what we post
I mainly use ZipRecruiter through an Applicant Tracking System. When used this way for our company, it simply widens the net in terms of applicants that we receive. Generally speaking, with ZipRecruiter, we receive qualified applicants, just not as many as we do using Indeed, for example.
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.
The average person would be able to login into Indeed and use it almost immediately with no training or guidance. The layout is modern like an iPhone app and one can easily navigate through the features that it offers.
ZipRecruiter is very user-friendly and is extremely reliable when searching for new talent. There are numerous features to help you when you have questions about a posting or your profile. The filtering process is awesome and you have so many ways to find the right talent with the screening questions provided by ZipRecruiter.
I haven't had to use Customer Service much for Indeed.com but the few times I've had encounters they have been very nice and helpful. They ensure you are getting the most out of your money with the resources Indeed has to offer. You can speak to customer service over the phone or on a quick messenger setting on the website depending on what your style is or how easy you feel your question is.
Have not had to utilize support recently, but in past instances they have reached out within 12 hours to help rectify any problems or answer any questions about features and functionality. The only issue I ever had with them was trying to clarify, when they previously advertised that they posted on 200+ job boards, if that meant that your job would for sure be posted on each job board. Turns out, by the way, that they only guarantee distribution, not posting
We used and are still currently using other job boards. Some are free of charge, some are paid services. We do not want to stop using Indeed.com since it provides up with ability to post job postings for free. This is really appreciated. We do not want to disclose names of other services.
ZipRecruiter is inferior when it comes to comparing it to Indeed. I use both because I want more platforms to advertise my job. However, I find myself obtaining more applicants from Indeed over ZipRecruiter. I don't count ZipRecruiter out, though, because every once in a while, you can find a gem in a haystack.
Higher turnover in general for the positions we have hired for from Indeed which in some instances can hinder productivity. It is important to know that when using Indeed, you are getting volume/quantity and not necessarily top-performing employees.
It seems like the employees found on Indeed are constantly job hunting even when currently employed.
For our large-scale hiring, Indeed, all in all has had a positive impact as we are always able to fill the positions due to the large pool of resumes always on hand.
ZipRecruiter helped us to reaching our hiring goals for 2018. We have been able to source, exempt and non-exempt candidates, in a timely fashion for our roles in the NY Metro area.
From a cost perspective, ZipRecruiter is more affordable than others that we have used in the past. In the end the results speak for themselves and we have had better success with Zip than other job boards we have used in the past.
