ZipRecruiter

Avantages

The customer service is absolutely amazing! Very easy to talk to a real human. As for recruiting, it works very well. The key is making sure your job listings are written very well so candidates are more likely to click on the ad (seems self-evident, but a lot of people on there don't do a good job). Very easy to navigate through leads and connect with them via email phone or text.

Inconvénients

To get real results you need to spend quite a bit of money. The free version doesn't really get quality candidates and your listings get burried very quickly. It's not really a con though because they are a software service so should be charging for its premium features.

Avantages

The pros of Zip Recruiter include being able to search for your intended type of work with ease as well as receiving daily job alerts via text on jobs that match your resume and experience.

Inconvénients

The cons of Zip Recruiter include sometimes receiving job leads that don’t necessarily fit your experience or even interest. I hate opening my phone to 10 job possibilities and none of them are of interest to me.

Avantages

I very much enjoy not having to re-type in job history and other information whenever applying for a job. Additionally, I love the skills exams to show employers that you really do have the skills listed on your resume.

Inconvénients

I do wish I didn't receive as many emails from ZipRecruiter, but occasionally, I do find one with a job I definitely want to apply for!

Avantages

ZipRecruiter helps us find great talents which are not on LinkedIn. Not all professionals have LinkedIn account, and it is such a waste not to find the best fit because of that. ZipRecruiter bridges people that doesn't have LinkedIn accounts to the opportunities that we are recruiting.

I remembered a time when we are finding the best Manager for one of our LOBs. It seems that all people we are finding on LinkedIn are either not interested to make a move or not really a great fit. ZipRecruiter bridged us to one great candidate, and she's been working here in our company now for more than a year.

Inconvénients

I really don't have anything that I don't like on ZipRecruiter. It is easy to use, and once you post a job, you're gonna get immediately a lot of applicants.

Maybe the best thing that ZipRecruiter can do is to have like a predictive next steps more like a predictive text. For example, I am posting for a Programmer post, and by the language of what I am typing, I hope the system can provide suggestions as to what other skills I will require etc.

Avantages

The ones I like the most about this platform is that in addition to allowing you to create your professional profile, it also gives me the option to upload your professional resume and certificate and that you can also use the credentials of other platforms.

Inconvénients

So far in the options handled by this platform I have no negative points.

Avantages

I love that ZipRecruiter not only aggregates job listings for several recruitment companies but that they also send me updates via email and text when they think there's a job that matches my skills and experience. While not all of what they send is applicable to what I'm looking for, there are always a few gems in the group. Once I've applied to a position, I receive notifications via email from ZipRecruiter as to the status of my application, including if someone has reviewed it and how many times it's been reviewed. They also alert me when a job posting has closed, so I'm not left hanging.
I especially like the "One-Tap Apply" job listings, as well as the "Easy Apply" ones, which are convenient because either my resume has been saved with the recruiting company (like indeed.com) or I can simply download my resume and hit "send". I really don't like when companies ask for a resume and then later in the application, ask for job experience with all the details I've already provided in the resume. It's a waste of time, but I know it's not ZipRecruiter's fault.

Inconvénients

Occasionally, they send a few too many texts, which can get a bit annoying. Otherwise, I love hearing from them.

Avantages

I found my current job through using ZipRecruiter. The best feature of the software is the way that it allows the employer to add initial screening questions to an application. The questions are usually short and take the applicant no more than a couple of minutes to answer. However, it gives the employer a valuable, quick insight to the pool of applicants before even looking at resumes. The software recommends relevant jobs for the applicant to discover.

Inconvénients

The only thing that I would say negatively about ZipRecruiter is that it can be difficult at times to find a job that you had seen in the past but didn't save. There are so many jobs on zip recruiter, many with similar titles that it can seem overwhelming to find what you want at times.

Avantages

1 stop shop for job searches and candidates. Also to compare your company to others and see reviews of what each job task looks like. great to get information easily.

Inconvénients

There are other platforms I like to use better. For example - LinkedIn is free and allows you to create a more extensive profile. I also like the layout much better.

Avantages

User can search job according to location. 1-Click apply option made apply for job easy. Features like suggested jobs help us to know a suitable job for our profile. The User can track a job application applied. Can also apply for jobs position later by saved jobs option. We can create a job alerts as a position get opened.

Inconvénients

Providing more details of the recruiter would be helpful for job seekers.

Avantages

Zip Recruiter does an incredible job matching our team with potential candidates whenever we need it. The AI matching technology does exactly what it is advertised to do, and we end up interviewing more potential candidates than mismatches every time. In addition, Zip Recruiter stays up-to-date with industry knowledge, and it definitely shows in their software.

Inconvénients

Although the service is a bit pricey, the value that comes with it is more than enough justification. The largest complaint I have about the software is that they don't provide a very long trial for those who are considering the service.

Avantages

The only real pro that I have experienced is that they do a great job describing the position that are posted on the site.

Inconvénients

The software does not do a great job at linking you to the fields you are in. I receive daily reports, texts and email about jobs that it says I qualify for. Yet, when I click the links to say that I am not interested or this is not my field, I still receive jobs that are not in my field.

They ask you to post your information about yourself, yet it does not lead to any real prospects.

Avantages

Zip recruiter is best for our organisation

Inconvénients

We have hired many candidates through this

Avantages

I really liked their expansive list of available jobs and they would tailor it just for you according to your interests. Their 1-Tap Apply feature is really nice when you do not have time to fill out each application individually. Their app Job Search is the best way to access all the opportunities, apply fast, and get notified when your application was viewed and if you got an interview or if the position was closed.

Inconvénients

The only thing I did not like very much about this program was getting way too many emails that I could not even keep track of. It was a good thought to always reach out and give posting that might be a good fit, but it was an overwhelming amount for me. I also got a lot of random calls from people I did not know or did not remember applying for their job.

Avantages

ZipRecruiter reaches multiple applicants with one platform.

Inconvénients

It seemed that ZipRecruiter provided me with the same applicants that I was seeing from Monster, Indeed and other recruiting platforms. I also had multiple applicants that were not qualified or did not meet the specifications for my positions.

Avantages

Zip Recruiter makes it easy to post jobs and notifies you when you get an applicant. However, the quality of people we've gotten from the platform is only ok.

Inconvénients

Wish there was a pre-qualification step so we wouldn't waste our time going through non-applicable applicants that have none of the required skills to perform the job.

Avantages

I have been using ZipRecruiter for a few years in search for jobs. It is a very useful tool and I like the fact that I can create my own detailed profile that can be seen by employers. I am very satisfied.

Inconvénients

I would like ZipRecruiter to have the option to filter the job based on level of experience (entry-level, experienced, etc...). I did not see this feature on the website so far.

Avantages

Very good initial set of job recommendations based on skills and location.

Inconvénients

After a point, the software starts giving recommendations completely irrelevant to the skillset or the searches. The daily e-mails can get annoying very soon.

Avantages

My company has the ability to work with ZipRecruiter daily on posting jobs to their site. They give us free postings with the ability to easily find the jobs that our clients are looking for. It allows easy access, salaries for when we are creating job ads, plus company reviews for job seekers.

Inconvénients

One thing I don't like about ZipRecruiter is the lack of customer service help. There is little to no customer service help. It would be nice to talk to someone rather than email or talk to a robot.

Avantages

I like the simple interface. It makes it easy to find what I am looking for. Also, their site does a great job of weeding out fake candidates, so we don't waste time trying to figure out whether or not to move forward.

Inconvénients

No real complaints, it's easy to use and it's interface allows us to transfer candidates over easily into our system.

Avantages

The ease in posting jobs is a plus--ability to 'duplicate' definitely saves time. The system remembers things like screening questions, locale, etc.

Inconvénients

We have been having a recurring issue with templates--4 out of 10 times, when I select a specific template for a job description, the computer uses a generic IT job description. I've made the company aware, but they cannot seem to fix this glitch. I would like to be able to further focus my job searches. In the tri-state area, a 20 mile radius can give you candidates that are far outside of the comfort zone for commuting.

Avantages

Easy to navigate manage your business as you need to

Inconvénients

I simply don't know of anything I would complain about
Are change

Avantages

From the point of adding a resume to searching for openings this platform has proven to be a user-friendly and intuitive one.

For any software platform, the UI and UX elements play a key role. However, a forgotten element is the people-factor. If the people behind the scene don't properly streamline and be careful with content, the platform becomes worthless. Out of the many job sites I have used in the past, ZipRecruiter was amongst the top few that actually had some very sensible ads.

This creates a level of trust amongst the users.

Inconvénients

I can't really say what I dislike about it. As a developer myself, I know the challenges in building apps to read formatted documents. The platform has minor issues when it comes to reading a custom resume in PDF format. But this is not easy to do either.

Avantages

This product is super easy to use. The menus are simple to figure out. Account information is set right up at top so there is no guessing as to how many resumes you have access to. The billing is straight forward - love the plans and cost is reasonable!

Inconvénients

There hasn't been too many issues using this software product.

I do not like that my Account Rep calls me monthly to 'scold' me on the amount of time my position has been open and how magically he can help fill it for me... I realize that it has nothing to do with the great Software product. (He's a nice guy, but I really don't need babysitting or 'help'. We just exchange email pleasantries after 6 months. )

Avantages

Helps recruiting candidates much more faster and easier that is qualifying for the job position and accurate contact information.

Inconvénients

There is times where the software is slow on certain days because of the service system the company is using

Avantages

My experience with zip recruiter what great they have a you do a profile online with them first and then you can go thou the different jobs they have as a match for you where you can apply.

Inconvénients

What i like least about this some of the jobs might not be in your area of like but they do email email you new jobs daily if you don't open the website as much.

Avantages

Easy to use to post an ad. Don't need help from Zip Recruiter to post the ad

Inconvénients

Methodology to make this product work doesn't exist.

Avantages

It helps you to reach a more broader spectrum of opportunities jobwise.

Inconvénients

Need to better filter employers and boot the non responsive ones who have spread themselves thin and are wasting job seekers time.

Avantages

What I like about Ziprecuiter is the fact that I can easily update my CV and I can apply to a job in a short amount of time. Also there's a big network of employers that are using this app which increases your possibility to have the right contact through it.

Inconvénients

It keeps sending me wrong notifications despite that I specified what are my interests.
Sometimes the program is just a bridge to take you to the official employer website where you need to introduce all your information.

Avantages

It is easy to search a job in this software. Without clicking the job we can see almost every details. So, it is less time consuming. We can see the near by jobs by type the zip code of ours. Also,we get a notification on whether the applied job is viewed. We don't have to type the details for apply for new job there is a easy apply button to apply.

Inconvénients

This is not a bad software for job seekers. The demerit I have to talk about the irritating emails about the recommended jobs, which may be sometimes not helpful for our profession. Other is that, there should be a space available to add reference links like LinkedIn. And also, some jobs don't have enough descriptions to understand what is the role in the company.

Avantages

Zip recruiter has helped me throughout my experience in life of me looking an searching for jobs. They always matched me the right job from my skill sets

Inconvénients

Nothing it’s a great company I don’t have any problems with them and haven’t for some time now.

Avantages

I like that ZipRecruiter has a focus on Diversity and Inclusion and posts your job to many other job boards. Zip does a great job of advertising its services to the public and future applicants. This is a trusted site used by my company to expand our search for candidates. Once applicants have applied Zip makes it easy to sort, send messages and schedule interviews right from their platform.

Inconvénients

The main con of using ZipRecruiter is just that it is still not as popular as Indeed. At this time, I don't feel that ZipRecruiter could be your only source of advertisement.

Avantages

I like that ZipRecruiter sends me emails every day with potential leads.

Inconvénients

At least half of those leads are entry-level or pay 2/3 to 1/5 less than my previous position. I haven't been able to figure out how to fix that, so I waste a little bit of time reviewing the emails for obvious no-gos.

Avantages

There wasn't much I found acceptable in this software for my previous position as an operations manager for a tree trimming service.

Inconvénients

For our particular field, we didn't find candidates that would meet our needs. Additionally, it seemed like the company continuously sent solicitations, electronic or phone, to upgrade. We weren't going to upgrade since we weren't finding success at the lower subscription.

Avantages

being able to search jobs and apply with 1 click. Also the ability to post to multiple sites at once is great

Inconvénients

expensive and recommendations aren't always the best. Other platforms like linkedin and indeed are still more useful for us

Avantages

Not a thing. I could not find a single thing worth recommending.

Inconvénients

The quality of candidates is not good. This is the second time we used it and did not generate one single qualified candidate. Their method of pushing it out everywhere doesn't really help - you end up getting a lot of applications that are not qualified. As far as using it for an ATS system - forget it. No where close to an ATS system. Clunky and not very useful. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Seriously? That sounds so unprofessional.

Avantages

The features have improved dramatically making it more effective in find quality candidates.

Inconvénients

Slight opportunity to improve on attracting higher quality candidates. I would also like to see improvement in the navigation especially between sending emails and getting back to previous pages.

Avantages

Many options for posting jobs ads, both free and sponsored (Paid for) giving you multiple ways to see your posts. Love the resume data base.

Inconvénients

I post/manager for our entire team. 50 jobs slots. It would be helpful if there was an easier way to filter by who receives the applications VS who posted the job.

Avantages

Its easy and fun to use. The site has updated information about the positions hiring in the searched location. Daily emails with suggestions for matches to your own personal career choices.

Inconvénients

More companies should use this software. It seems that many competitor sites are used but this site should be the number one choice of all employers seeking to fill positions.

Avantages

This is by far the easiest job seeking platform I’ve used. Jobs are clearly and neatly laid out. I can see the job titles quickly to ensure a match, job descriptions are clear and doesn’t make me feel as though I’m getting scammed. The software sends me jobs that I would actually be interested in and that match my education. One tap apply is incredible, you just have to upload your resume once.

Inconvénients

I would appreciate if there were more salary/education information available in the dashboard. Sometimes that can deter/attract job applicants.

Avantages

I love how easy it is, and how many responses I get. It's easy to submit my info and I do get responses.

Inconvénients

I do sales and programming, but the matches I get include nuclear physicist. While I appreciate the compliment, it doesn't help with the search.

Avantages

I love the one-click application feature! Once you upload your resume and information, there is a one-click feature that is literally only one-click; not click once, confirm details, add extras, etc.

Also, its great that they screen jobs based on your qualifications or experience. This means that they send you opportunities as they come in, you do not have to seek them out or search for them.

Inconvénients

Make sure your resume template is recognized. I had a non-standard word document resume template (a fancy layout), and did not realize that after uploading, the template layout was not recognized and the resume being sent to potential employers blanked out all my contact information! Employers were receiving resumes with no name, email or phone numbers on them.

My fault for this one I think, but still happened nonetheless.

Avantages

Zip Recruiter has been an asset for me to have and use to look for new employment. I enjoy getting the emails I receive which provide me with the suggested new positions available for me. Zip Recruiter provides me with the information on all the job listings that are relevant to my specific job preferences which saves me a lot of time by not having to sort through postings that are irrelevant in my job search. The website and the application are wonderful and very easy to use. I recommend Zip Recruiter to everyone I know who's searching for new job opportunities.

Inconvénients

I can honestly say that there is nothing about this software that I don't like.

Avantages

The thing I like about ZipRecruiter is that once you've created your initial job posting, you can sit back and allow candidates to come to you if you'd like. It's a pretty simply mining tool as well - you're able to search through a database of resumes that have phrases or experience similar to what you are looking for. It's a nice avenue to be able to utilize outside of your standard sourcing tools. It's also awesome that you can put questions out there to which candidates have to answer yes/no for qualifications to help vet the process!

Inconvénients

The thing I enjoy least is that while candidates can be mined easily through passive searching OR active applications, the quality of these candidates is generally very average. This can be said for a lot of applications out there through any software/avenue, but it would be nice to have a certain standard upheld. The questions you can ask with a candidate application should be able to be used as knockouts to ensure less sifting through resumes that aren't of the quality you are looking for.

Avantages

The steps for posting ads are straightforward. Rating resumes makes it very easy to save and categorize for future reference.

Inconvénients

When you go "Back" to previous page, you lose your place while reviewing resumes.

Avantages

ZipRecruiter has you fill out lots of screening questions as an employer. All the preliminary questions that you can create are extremely effective at filtering out unqualified candidates. This saves me so much time every month. This tool is amazing for tracking different applicants too. I love that it only takes a few minutes to post a job. I can easily pull all the details of certain applicants into a spreadsheet for further analysis. I like that I can email and text applicants.

Inconvénients

I always love to see new feature improvements and updates.

Avantages

I like that Zip recruiter is basically a recruiter without actually having to do anything. They send you crazy amounts of opportunities.

Inconvénients

My issue with Zip recruiter is that given my information, I would still receive jobs opportunities that were in no relation to what I wanted. I graduated with a marketing degree and was seeking a job in event marketing. I would receive copious amounts of emails regarding jobs in finance and other avenues I was not looking to persue. I think they should limit the amount of emails, as well as look for *quality over quantity*.

Avantages

What I enjoy most about ziprecruiter is the analytics or data provided to jobs applicants on info such as the odds of your resume being reviewed to where and which companies applicants should apply to and ultimately look for employment.

Inconvénients

What I like least about ziprecruiter is that I've personally never gained employment from a job I applied to on the site. I've had several video interviews plus the site allows me to notify recruiters that I'm actively searching but as of today I have not landed a job on ziprecruiter despite the odds working in my favor.

Avantages

The thing I like most about the software is the ability to personalize it based on my skill set and interest.

Inconvénients

I honestly don't have any complaints about zip recruiter

Avantages

ZipRecruiter makes it simple and easy for us to take a job posting live, and manage applications/candidate reviews, before moving candidates forward into our central ATS.

Inconvénients

ZipRecruiter, as with many similar products, is yet to be a one-stop shop for us. As candidates also have a wide variety of options to utilize, we leverage multiple tools like ZipRecrutier in our recruitment and talent management efforts that all funnel into a central ATS.

Avantages

I liked that this software allows you to search and apply through one page and also gives you recommendations of new jobs that are available as well as email you once something near your home has any open positions. It very convenient and definitely comes in handy when you need to look for a specific job or just looking for a new job. Most jobs you are able to apply directly from the website so you don't have to go through a third-party or even the company website, where some websites you have to create an account. Easy apply!

Inconvénients

I am not really a fan of the emails. Some emails come in regularly which can be modified but some of the jobs that you are getting emailed about are irrelevant. So its easier to just search than rely on the emails for new positions.
