Potentially fraudulent activities and fake profiles

I was looking forward to getting applicants for the open position I was posting about.

Inconvénients

Only three applicants or should I say candidates. Not sure if they are applying or if I need to reach out to them. When I asked Zip recruiter about this, they said they are one in the same. But, I don't think so. And none were of any potential.

Avantages

Availability to access jobs near your surrounding city and shows what jobs are available by job types.

Inconvénients

Everything to me are just right. I didn't find anything negative.

Avantages

I’ve been on ZipRecruiter for a few years now with my résumé, and they have a lot of different jobs and resources you can apply to for potential employment

Inconvénients

Some of the jobs might be older, or be filled in the database is not updated

Avantages

The various jobs and amount of communication

Inconvénients

Too much extra spam that gets in the way

Avantages

The most important thing for somebody trying to find a job is variety, and Zip is very good with that, you can find what you want, what you need and also the unexpected job, you did not know you want, the second thing is security, last thing you want is your personal data in an unsafe website, after that easy navigation and facility to fulfill forms and schedules for interviews is a must

Inconvénients

So far little help with resumes and ...keep improving

Avantages

The ease of the system to navigate any positionThe ways to correspond with potential employers

Inconvénients

It may take a few tries to get to your city or there may just be no jobs available in your field.

Avantages

Government jobs can be found on their job board

Inconvénients

Their emails about jobs in my field are not helpful.

Avantages

ZipRecruiter is a user-friendly app so it won't be hard for us when using this app. We can easily post and apply to jobs, also there's an alert or notif feature which very great.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the algorithm gives me an irrelevant job, so it's Kinda annoying sometimes. Getting the job that I don't even consider is useless since I don't have any skills in that area.

Avantages

I love the software because it's easy to use and cheaper compare to other similar software out there

Inconvénients

I have not experience any difficulty using this software but I don't know of other

Avantages

"I used this app while searching for jobs to get an idea of what was available and it was a great tool. Had good descriptions of jobs and easy links to connect you with the departments to apply."

Inconvénients

The costs are outrageous for such poor service and the options for searches are very limited. Literally any other recruiter service will be a fraction of the cost and provide better candidates.

Avantages

Nothing really. It was simple to search

Inconvénients

Candidates were not real or qualified. It was a waste of time

Avantages

that it has multiple filters to help find better candidates

Inconvénients

nothing i dont like other than it not being free ! LOL

Avantages

It has a lot of features, very easy to use

Inconvénients

So far we don't have any complains about the platform

Avantages

There are future feel like are aspects missing or could

Inconvénients

Business problem are you solving with ZipRecruiter

Avantages

My company and I love to use this app to hire. It pretty much does the work for us. Fast and easy and doesnt cost much. My fiance even uses it as a staffing Recruiter and it helps him out alot too

Inconvénients

No cons as far as i can see. We truly appreciaite this app.

Avantages

Easy to find good quality applicants with great experience and references.

Inconvénients

The email alerts sometimes can be annoying and spamming, overall the user interface needs a little improvement too.

Avantages

Ziprecrutier is an excellent app for hiring, user interface is easy

Inconvénients

It would be better if the plans were bit affordable

Avantages

The variety of job opportunities that were available to apply for .. the consistency of following up after a company reviews or responses to my job applications.

Inconvénients

Still have not received any job offers threw zip recruiter after multiple resumes and applications were submitted.

Avantages

The most I like in this is searching for candidates is very easy, easy to screen the candidate from portals

Inconvénients

Nothing is more least to dislike for this software only benefits no more dislikes or least .

Avantages

Easy to use, Support is great, cost of services is acceptable.

Inconvénients

Sometimes there might be issues upon logging into the application yet this is rare to happen.

Avantages

One of the best things about this job board is that it is easy to use and the UI is responsive, minimal, and informative.

Inconvénients

One of the things I don't like is fewer cleared candidates on the portal. If there was a good pool of cleared candidates, it would have been best.

Avantages

My favorite part of ZipRecruiter has to be the ease of using the site. Each different part of the website is simple to use and easy to navigate. Search for jobs and applicant searches in just a few clicks makes it easy to use.

Inconvénients

Now ZipRecruiter is a great site. But for some people searching for employment there, some said to have encountered a scam or two.

Avantages

It is very user friendly and quite simple to post listings and manage them.

Inconvénients

We have reached out to candidates based on their resumes sometimes, and realize that they don't look at our listing and apply. Then when we contact them, and they have sometimes interviewed then withdrew their application because they looked at the listing and saw that the pay rate wasn't what they desired. Also we use employment assessments with our hiring process, and ZipRecruiter doesn't allow for an applicant to be redirected to the assessment site to take the assessment. Indeed, lets us redirect, which is very helpful. Also there isn't a way when you have multiple users on your account to only allow them to see applications for a specific position only and not the others, which has caused different departments to contact applicants who applied for a position in a different department.

Avantages

I love how they have really good jobs and more options sometimes than indeed. It gives me more info on the jobs I'm searching and applying to. I also love the quick apply option which makes it easier for me to apply to jobs when I really found an interest and didn't want to go online and complete a whole questionnaire on my employment. I love how it gives me the pay range, the title of the position and a brief description of the job as well.

Inconvénients

I don't like how long it takes to hear updates from employers. It doesn't show the employers responsive rate like how indeed does and it doesn't let me know how many people applied to the positions listed.

Avantages

This is a very helpful software I mean you just upload what you looking for job description, qualifications,pay then post it and you're done the candidates come to you. I know as a business owner conducting in person interviews and applications can be stressful and tiresome, this makes it easy.

Inconvénients

There's really not much wrong I can say about this this software. On occasion you might get an overwhelming application load but through this software it actually kind of helps you to narrow it down.

Avantages

What I liked most about Zip Recruiter is working with the Resume Database. This database is essential in helping to filter through thousands of resumes to find the ideal candidate I want to hire. I found the resume database extremely helpful, straight-forward and user friendly. When I offer likes or dislikes for candidates, Zip Recruiter technology gets a better understanding of the type of candidates I like and will send more candidates that suit my preferences. The resume database can quickly and easily expand your location search. The database easily lays out all of the criteria necessary to consider when selecting candidates for employment. I also like the feature with Zip Recruiter that there is always a support team available to offer assistance, if the need arises. There are many options to reach the support team, either by chat, e-mail or phone. I found that their search resume database is extremely efficient when selection details are entered into the respective candidate criteria fields. I can also use the resume database to see the candidates my company has already selected. Within the resume database, I am also able to filter through candidates by rating. This is a good feature which helps me to focus in on the best candidates for I would like to consider for hire. They have a huge network of job seekers to choose from.

Inconvénients

Zip Recruiter offers a good opportunity for businesses to select from a wide range of candidates for open positions. However, it can be costly for a business that is only seeking to fill one job opening. In addition, the main type of jobs available on Zip Recruiter are either specialty positions, entry level jobs or manual labor.

Avantages

The main component I loved with ZipRecruiter is that it makes a good connection point and is feels great when you login and apply to occupations. It is cordial and furthermore proficient. Message included is incredible and it can assist you with saving a great deal of time,

Inconvénients

Most jobs are in US with companies restricting applications to US terms.

Avantages

Zip Recruiter gets you qualified candidates every time. Period. They post to multiple job boards for you outside of Zip Recruiter and you get what you pay for. Qualified candidates. You get assigned a Campaign Manager who works with you to get your job ad and location to where candidates are searching for them. You can create knock out questions on your ads so you don't get unqualified candidates applying which takes away valuable recruiting time. Being able to search for candidates is great too. The applicant tracking feature is also great as you can log all your activity with each applicant and make notes on your progress of hiring someone. This also helps your campaign manager see where they are at in fulfilling your hiring needs. I also like being able to rate candidates so I can hide the ones that I feel aren't a great fit or aren't qualified enough. Being able to pick and choose what kind of campaign you want to run is great too. If you want to get aggressive with your campaign, you can. If you want to scale it back for a bit, you can. You can boost ads to get more candidates and can also go with a standard campaign. The options are great.

Inconvénients

I suppose the only con is that it is not cheap. When you run a campaign, you are given many options to the price best fits your needs. My industry is very competitive so I always campaign at a higher cost.

Avantages

The software allows you to upload your Resume easily and can be used easily to apply for other vacancies even using your phone because its stored in their database,it also notifies you when relevant jobs are posted worldwide,it also track you job application ,what a fantastic app

Inconvénients

Honestly the app has been amazing and user friendly ,maybe include scholarships opportunities

Avantages

ZipRecruiter is an awesome software program from a candidate's personal job hunting experience. ZipRecruiter has simplified my job hunting experience. When I login to ZipRecruiter, the software is user friendly with clear directions. The ZipRecruiter software minimizes the prospective job details into a thumbnail box which includes the hiring company or recruiting firm's name, job title and a brief job description. I can tap the thumbnail to receive more detailed information. When I am interested in a role, I simply tap the "1-Tap Reply" button and boom, ZipRecruiter software directly apply to the position. ZipRecruiter software program stores my resume, professional experience and skillset in the software and my information is emailed directly to the hiring party.

The most impressive lifesavers for me are the positions are current and only interested, actively searching companies are provided. Therefore, my time is freed up to focus on getting the right job opportunity.

Inconvénients

ZipRecruiter can be improved by auto-filling applications directly into the hiring company's website when the company requires an online application. Lots of time would be saved if I could simply edit and sign the applications. Also, when applying to multiple leads at once, it is not clear which companies are receiving my resume. Lastly, it is great to receive motivating messages when the prospective company views my profile, however, once is enough. It's a letdown when I receive multiple encouraging notifications each time my resume is viewed, then no response from the hiring company afterwards.

Avantages

Ziprecruiter is easy to use and has much functionality that is essential for rand. I hear commercials all the time. Therefore, it is more likely well known, so many job seekers use it, and more resumes I can search.

Inconvénients

If your industry is in high demand and attracting candidates, I think Ziprecruiter is a good tool to post jobs and wait for candidates to apply. However, if you have to find candidates by sorting through resumes, despite setting up criteria, it is an expensive tool to use compared to others because it starts with limited resumes and starts paying more to get more.

Avantages

Your job posts to a ton of websites. They had an awesome invite to apply feature which is the main reason we signed up and in our package it was included but one day they decided to make it ala carte.

Inconvénients

We went from getting a ton of applicants because of invite to apply to next to none. The quality of applicants dropped a lot as well and most applicants were like we just clicked apply to every application we saw. They made invite to apply ala carte and at the already high fee of $400 per month to post. The salesman at ZipRecruiter told us we would have unlimited invite to apply's with our plan and it just randomly changed one month and we were getting next to no qualified leads for that price.

Avantages

I like how many places the job postings are listed via ZipRecruiter which attracts a lot of qualified candidates. I also love using the resume database to search for additional qualified candidates for our jobs.

Inconvénients

I don't have any complaints about ZipRecruiter in regards to the job postings or resume database. I do not use it as an Applicant Tracking System so I'm not sure what cons there may be for those that do.

Avantages

I use ZipRecruiter as one of two main platforms for recruiting. The website itself is pleasant to look at, which is important when you spend hours a week looking at it. The process of posting jobs is intuitive and easy. I like the already created screener questions and the ability to create my own. Another great feature is the "Compare Your Compensation" pop-up that shows where your salary range falls on the bell curve when compared to similar positions. I also like the ability to have candidate alerts sent to any or all of the hiring managers; this helps keep us all in the loop. The "Quickrate" feature for quickly reviewing applicants is GREAT and saves lots of time. The messaging system is adequate, no issues there.

Inconvénients

The one major negative with ZipRecruiter is that there is no way to pause listings; you have to close the job completely. It's a pain to have to close the job entirely while I'm evaluating applicants. While the "Duplicate Job" process is easy, a "Pause" feature would be so useful. Another feature that is lacking is the benefits section. Indeed has an extremely robust pre-created benefits list and it's easy to go down the line and check off which ones we offer. ZipRecruiter has only a handful and no way to explain any others, other than in the job descriptions itself. I also dislike that ZipRecruiter sends job postings to it's boards and THEN has you edit screener questions. It would make more sense to do it all prior to the listing being active. I've had no luck at all with the resume database and don't see it as any benefit at all.

Avantages

I liked that the software can gather, store, organize large quantities of resumes quickly to obtain the efficiency of your skill set, keywords to identify you and set you apart for the appropriate job applied for. It also maximizes control and privacy of its audience using the staffing agency or other.
The self service portal is convenient to access, sign up, saves the data and organizes, it sends the employers your way and you choose which most suits your need, sends alerts to your email or whatever form of contact chosen. It is easy to use and great assistance for the average business or job seeker. Being able to use it anytime online is a huge bonus.

Inconvénients

With any type of technology or system software, there will be room for a bit of improvement. The access to be able to edit information could be a bit easier, and there are some associated fees connected to getting info posted on larger sites like Monster from Ziprecruiter.

Avantages

I really like the resume management tool on ZipRecruiter, and how it seems like they might be integrating this into their databases search engines and SEO. I have both used Zip Recruiter to find jobs, and we use it a lot to hire independent contractors. Almost always, I end up hiring an independent contractor that has used the Zip Recruiter Resume tool.

Inconvénients

The only thing that does bother me, that I can think of, is when looking for independent contract/freelance jobs, I expect that I will be receiving email alerts for the specified jobs I requested. I have trouble with the emails I'm being sent most of the time. They usually tend to be super generalized jobs, and a good %50 of the time none of the jobs offered in the emails sent to me have anything to do with what I've requested or searched for to be emailed to me. So this could be corrected.

Avantages

ZipRecruiter has a friendly and easy-to-use interface that is highly intuitive. The notifications that come in are easily configured and work well to help you set up searches and review results.

Inconvénients

The pricing and sales process are the real knocks against ZipRecruiter. Small businesses do not need a saas solution to keep their hiring going so using Zip is impractical for that audience. They need a really good self-serve option.

Avantages

I enjoy ZipRecruiter because it allows an easy application process once you are an account holder. The 1-click apply is very easy to use and only in certain cases are there additional follow up questions. This platform is super efficient time wise and allows me an absurd amount of different job opportunities. I recommend this program in comparison to others like Indeed and UpWork considering the price of using this program is so far in my experience nothing. The profile is easy to set up, and in cases where I have applied to a job I have received an email or phone call from the company within hours.

Inconvénients

Though there are few I would love to see more versatility in the "Job suggestions" area of the program. When you apply for a job or search a certain careers the suggestions seem to be very consistent and don't tend to range. For example when I searched a "Customer Service" position I found so many suggested jobs in just this specific field, so from then on I started just having to key in words to search for job opportunities. Another feature I would love to see incorporated is a feature allowing a "remote" job suggestion filter when searching for positions. Considering most are searching for remote positions now amid a pandemic I think this feature would be useful. Another feature I would like to see tweaked, though this could be in the settings and just merely user error, is the option to avoid those repetitive emails when you apply for a job. My inbox is basically spammed with a nonsense email telling me I have applied to a job which when I apply for multiple positions it sort of clouds my inbox.

Avantages

I LOVE LOVE how easy it is to use. You can upload a resume' or create a profile on their system with ease. They have easy 1 click skills you can add to your resume' that makes you stand out. Even if you not that good with Resume's this platform will make you seem like you been doing them all your life. They have customized searching and geographic job searching you can even pick the mile radius on where your looking for work.

So if I wanted a job with 5 miles of my home I can refine the search and BOOM it will only pull up jobs within a 5 mile radius. I absolutely LOVE that feature because I take care of my grandma and grandfather so I need to stay close by to the house. They require ALOT of my time so I dont have hours and hours to fill out applications.

Zip Recruiter has taken that into account for you with 1-Click Applies.
You just refine the search to 1-Click Applies only. And I'm telling you! I applies to like 30 jobs in less than 20 mins. It's so amazing. I mean like it's almost genius honestly. They automatically send your resume' to companies effortlessly. Some job require additional questions but they are quick and easy to do.

And that's not all the companies respond to you quickly I'm talking same day sometimes. By the end of a week I'm trying t to choose which job I wanna pick which interviews to go to on. You can customize the type of jobs you want. It's like job applicator heaven. They send confirmation emails so you can keep track of where your applying.

Inconvénients

The only drawback to this platform that I've experienced is some jobs are scams. Be weary of "Work From Home" jobs on here. Or any job that tells you to add them on What's app for an interview. I almost got scammed by one of them.

I sell insurance so working from home isnt bad for me at all. It's almost plausible. But some companies aren't legit on this platform just be weary of it. Not all of them are like this. I've gotten job offers from great well known companies on this platform as well.

They sent me a bad check but the bank caught it before I was able to place it into my account. Zip Recruiter should perform thorough in depth checks on the companies they enable to use their platform to ensure customers safety and peace of mind. They should ensure they have a Verfiable Employer # and have Acceptable an rating on BBB. That way customers can apply to jobs in confidence knowing each one is reputable and will benefit the applicant.

Other than that I cant think of any drawbacks to using the platform at all.

Avantages

I really enjoyed the resume search database. This was the only feature I was able to use without any problem. Unfortunately to due to the issues we encountered during account setup, we were not able to determine the actual effectiveness of this product as a recruiting tool.

Inconvénients

My experience with the initial setup of our account and integration of ZipRecruiter with our ATS, Greenhouse, was extremely frustrating. We went through 3 different Account Managers in a 60 day period with 0 consistency of information with each new person. There were various issues we encountered with account setup and their ability to correctly scrape our jobs from our ATS.
After starting this process in early May of 2019 we decided to part ways in mid to late August due to lagging issues with our account we just could not seem to receive a reasonable resolution for. Unfortunately due to all of the issues, we were never able to determine the effectiveness of the actual product.
The platform has an algorithm that fine tunes its targeting of the "ideal" applicant based off your rating of applicants that apply. The more time you spend rating applicants the better targeting capabilities it supposedly has. The concept is great, however, for companies with a large hiring volume it becomes a time consuming feature to have to manage applicants in both an ATS and in ZipRecruiter.

Avantages

Ziprecruiter is my go to Job Board as a Hiring Manager. Ziprecruiter not only has great affordable plans but they truly cast the widest net when it comes to applicants. Coming from a place where I was only budgeted for Indeed, Ziprecruiter has opened up doors by advertising to every board from Monster to Linkedin. It has truly been a game changer and we have seen numerous people come through our doors that have been sharp and well qualified individuals. Each applicant has their own story and we have met great employees through this software and that is because Ziprecruiter leaves no stone unturned. They really are the best contenders in the job seeing world!

Inconvénients

The one issue I would say would be the "Quick Apply". From my experience, sometimes the quick apply is so easy for applicants it makes my job as a Hiring Manager a little tough. This is due to the fact that when an applicant is on a job application frenzy, they will apply for anything and everything meaning they do not necessarily remember applying/apply by mistake. This results in a lot of confusion and wasted time when reaching out to applicants. If there was maybe more of a screening process involved so the applicants are required to read and check what they're apply for, it'd make a huge difference!
