ZipRecruiter

Avantages

I like zip recruiter now more than I did 5 years ago or so. It has really improved and I am able to find candidates that fit perfectly for my company.

Inconvénients

I do hope in the future there is a way to avoid candidates who do not fit the profile to not apply.

Avantages

It`s a very good tool for uncovering candidates. Like all others, you take the good with the bad, but when I have used the tool in the past, I have been successful in making hires, some of whom were top-performers.

Inconvénients

For the job seeker, the tool is not intuitive. When I have used it in my personal job searches, I received a lot of irrelevant leads, many of which were too junior or not at all related to my background. I even had a couple of sketchy opportunities come my way, but did not see an easy way to communicate with ZipRecruiter.

Avantages

It does compile hundreds of jobs for people to look through. Some of the filters are very useful such as distance. See my study in the overall experience below.

Inconvénients

Filters need more customization - sometimes pay range filters make you jump huge gaps such as filtering for jobs that make 52K a year to 73K with no in between. Most of the jobs are not relevant. I did reach out to zip for help at one point, but I haven't heard back yet. See my study in the overall experience below.

Avantages

User friendly and easy to connect with candidates also most effective

Inconvénients

No difficulties some time we times we have some server issues

Avantages

The ease of use, VIew user friendly, saving resume and let's employers see information about you so they have a pre- intefore your interview. Saves time and gas from traditional employment services

Inconvénients

Nothing was bad. Location for mapping radius could have been better it would give me jobs that were 30 miles away and thinking that it was in my location.

Avantages

I really love the layout/design; everything has a smooth transition when it comes to posting jobs, sourcing and filtering key words when searching for a specific candidate or job. Whoever designed the layout has exceptional organization skills; very creative. The portal is super easy to use and basically does all the work for you. It does a wonderful job with matching candidates to my job posts; I was really relieved to find out I could trust ZipRecuiter with providing candidates and didn't have to search and pick through each one that came my way.

Inconvénients

I really don't like the fact that I couldn't delete my account in the past. This is something that really concerns me; what are they doing with the information? Why would you leave it in the database and give hackers a chance to steal all that info?

Avantages

It is an extremely, organized and user-friendly tool to post jobs and source candidates.

Inconvénients

I like all the functionality of the software so there is nothing I like least about it.

Avantages

Zip Recruiter is almost like a plug in play site. That's because it is such an easy program to use, and there are step by step instructions to guide you. What I like the most is the quality of the site. Post a resume, it uploads and populates. Then you follow the prompts and fill your information in, and before you know it, recommendations are coming in.

Inconvénients

There really isn't anything I found unfavorable about Zip Recruiter. It's simple and time efficient.

Avantages

ZipRecruiter is very easy to teach to someone when they are learning how to post job ads. I like that they have the feature to rate and set up interviews right from the software, but we don't use it since we have something else that we already use. It's user-friendly and I think that is really important.

Inconvénients

My team doesn't always understand why some of our ads do very poorly even though they look exactly like the ads that did well a week or two prior. They have also made some changes in requirement for the ads, and not everyone knew the new regulations. I think communication from Zip could be better. The in-congruencies really frustrate my team when they don't have the time to be frustrated. We will pay for an ad, and the ad won't do well, or Zip will suggest the same applicants to apply every time. We need new applicants, not the same ones that we've already interviewed.

Avantages

It delivers on the promise of quality candidates. Overall quality of candidates better than other sites we tried. Easy to use and set up. Free trial a plus.

Inconvénients

While better than other offerings it still let through a few applicants which were not ideally suited for the jobs we posted.

Avantages

They have the best overall job posting for hungry employees looking for full-time work and their features are very long to choose from to satisfy anyone's searching.

Inconvénients

They can do a way better job with following up on email management and making your profile look more exclusive to those hiring. But like I always say, please do some extensive homework finding what you like & dislike first.

Avantages

As a frequent flyer to job search, I like the recommended jobs and notifications they provide. Their 1 tap apply feature makes it easier to just zip through.

Inconvénients

My only complaint is for example national companies that have more than one location don't provide which one is hiring, I think that should be required so as to not leave people in the dark or cause confusion.

Avantages

My favorite feature is the 1-click apply option. It takes all of the hassle out of having to go to the website, upload your resume and complete your profile over. I especially appreciate the updates from employers via email and the ease of using the app.

Inconvénients

Comparing Ziprecruiter to another hiring site, such as Indeed, Ziprecruiter has some short-comings. They don't prompt to complete assesments that fit your specific job type and tend to send me request to apply for jobs that aren't part of the criteria I requested when establishing my profile unlike Indeed who only sends me notifications for the specific job I'm looking for.

Avantages

I like the ease of posting jobs & setting up screening questions.

Inconvénients

I don't like the resume search function & it seems that there are not a lot of newer candidates that appear when searching for a specific job. It seems that the database is filled with candidates that registered 6 months to a year back or further.

Avantages

I love how easy it is to navigate the site. I can narrow down my job search to very distinct categories and it makes it very easy to find the perfect job by doing this. I can easily navigate by region, location, or type of job, and I can fully customize and save my search for whatever type of job I am looking for at the time.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the jobs that are listed on Zip Recruiter for photography aren't always legitimate jobs, and I wish that there was a way to vette the employers who are able to post on Zip Recruiter. Also, there can be spam from different companies that gets blasted across the forums so it can be difficult to navigate through a bunch of random jobs that have nothing to do with what your search was.

Avantages

Our industry has significant turn over about every year or two. We always need to have a talent pool of candidates to pull from. ZipRecruiter is easy to use, uploading job descriptions is a breeze, the notification emails are timely, and the online review process of each applicant is a smooth process. We have several managers who use ZipRecruiter and keeping track of where the applicant is in the recruitment process is so easy to use. We can quickly review the resumes and make a decision whether or not to move forward with that candidate and mark the record as such. The email feature is great for setting up interviews or just letting the candidates know where they are in the process. Being able to email multiple candidates at once is a time saver for every manager.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a way to identify candidates that had previously applied with our company that we had decided to NOT move forward with so when they continue to reapply, we could see a little flag or something. We spend time reviewing people that we had already seen and said "no" to. It would save us time in the long run

Avantages

This software is very easy to use and helps you with every step when it comes to hiring you employees especially in a small business. It notifies you of potential candidates, and is great for a customer service rep all the way up to an owner

Inconvénients

I feel like there could be better ways to sift through candidates and filter out specific ones. Maybe the software could have some sort of résumé check that it does on its own before sending it to the company. A lot of resumes that I went through personally were completely not qualified.

Avantages

The interface is nice; clean and intuitive layout. Ease of use in populating fields. Executive Summary, Objective… etc. are nice features to have.

Inconvénients

I can’t post my personal website in the “Websites” sidebar. And there’s apparently no import option for a LinkedIn profile, which historically doesn’t work very well anyway, but there’s always hope that one day someone will crack that nut and seamlessly integrate preexisting content instead of having to manually input all of my history again and again and… however I can post my LinkedIn URL in the “Websites” sidebar. Also, I can’t delete my phone number; I’d prefer to not have that made publicly or privately available.

Avantages

Yes, this software helps Job seekers to get hired.

Inconvénients

It exposes your vital information. This exposure may be harmful.

Avantages

Website is easy to use. The website, ziprecruiter.com, features a recruiter dashboard where employers can login and input their information to make finding qualified candidates easier.

Inconvénients

Both the website and app suffer for a lack of stability. The website often has issues saving data such as resume

Avantages

ZipRecuiter app is excellent, seamless, and makes applying as a candidate incredibly easy so that valuable time can be spent on follow-up, due diligence, quotes, and other items that are more crucial during the process.

Inconvénients

Not applicable. I'm a fan of ZipRecruiter.

Avantages

The admin / job creator section is extremely easy to use and it saves all of our current and previous job opportunities.

Inconvénients

I don’t really have any cons. The company provides all the tools that we need to efficiently post positions and hire new talent so I would have to say there are really no cons regarding the solution

Avantages

I particularly like this software because it is not just mobile, but it keeps you up to date with the specific jobs that interest you. It sends emails and text messages to you, informing you of jobs that may be best fit for what you are looking for. As well as, what jobs may best fit you given the past jobs listed on your resume.

Inconvénients

There has not been anything that I have found to be disliked about this particular software.

Avantages

There are so many features that help organize all the applicants you receive. You can even download applicant lists to an Excel spreadsheet that contains all their personal information. There are options to mark what stage the applicant is at (phone screened, interviewed, rejected, etc.), thumbs up or down, and a notes section as well. Jobs you post are also sent to other job boards, so you're not just limited to Zip.

Inconvénients

I happen to always get more candidates from Indeed. Ziprecruiter needs to simplify their website on the applicants end because it keeps them from being able to apply online.

Avantages

The software seemed fine. It was easy to use from the employer side. it was fairly easy to post a job and monitor its views and applicants. The over all use of the application was great; it is the psychology behind the use of the application/software that is problematic.

Inconvénients

The format of ZipRecruiter for the applicants makes it too informal and many of the applicants do not take it as serious as they should because of how ZipRecruiter conveys information. Example: I as the employer post the job. Job then is blasted via text message and email to applicants. Applicant then pushes a couple buttons to apply. Employer then selects an applicant for an interview and sends a message through ZipRecruiter to applicant. Applicant receives a text message or message via the App that the applicant can respond to. On the employer side, it looks like an email message and is treated as such from the Desktop view but applicant sees a text message type view and responds informally. Employer then sees the response as informal and counts the response against applicant. Then you have the applicants that don't take the employers who only communicate via the ZipRecruiter software as serious as the ones who do a direct contact. Again, the informal view on the applicant's side causes a real problem psychologically in the job search process. I discussed this issue with an applicant that I interviewed as well as with several others who were applicants on ZipRecruiter who work for another company in the same office as mine. I was curious why I was receiving such poor responses from seemingly qualified applicants (as well as no shows for interviews) and the informal approach seems to be a major factor. ZR customer service only blamed current market conditions.

Avantages

I worked on the team to have ZipRecruiter available for the HR Team, they loved it! ZipRecruiter, especially in the time of covid has made seeking new applicants, filtering candidates and empowering people to find the job they are best suited for so much easier.

Inconvénients

This was a quick implementation and being predominantly web based with cloud functionality it offered a more stable environment though you need a fast network connection.

Avantages

Adding in pre screening questions to your job posting that the prospects are required to answer, this helped us weed out the applicants that weren't qualified because of licensing regulations. Being able to add other team members into the account so you can have more then one login, this allows multiple managers to be able to review the incoming resumes for a job posting. Being able to rank the incoming resumes with a thumbs up, a neutral. Being able to add notes to an incoming applicants profile. If you have multiple job postings you can sort the incoming resumes by the specific job posting.

Inconvénients

If you rank a resume with a thumbs down, it removes the resume from the list. This is a problem if you have more then one manager that needs to review the incoming resumes. One manager can down vote a resume, but maybe another manager see's something they like. So the thumbs down doesn't work for us. We would only use the neutral or thumbs up. On our most recent job posting we weren't getting the applicants we wanted with just a standard listing, when we paid the higher price for more exposure we started getting quality candidates. Not sure what the difference is between where the postings are published with a standard listing or an upgraded listing. When you are looking at the list of resumes, if you have multiple job postings you can sort the list by the job posting, however, when you click on a resume it forwards your browser to a new page, then when you click the back button it takes you back to all the resumes so you have to keep resorting them by the job posting.

Avantages

It is one of the largest job and candidate banks in the nation, if you're a business and need qualified candidates as employees job or simply looking for contractors to complete tasks for you ZipRecruiter has one of the biggest options out there. If you're a job seeker recruiters also use this site to find you and offer you jobs.

Inconvénients

Personal information can be available for anyone to read, be sure to check restrictions on who can read your information, with identity theft in it's all time high please can easily access then use information from your resume or company information.

Avantages

We did not find any of the features helpful.

Inconvénients

No communication or assistance offered. Candidates weren't qualified.

Avantages

It works as a breeze between employers and jobseekers

Inconvénients

Sometimes too many unrelated emails even after we got position

Avantages

1.ZipRecruiter is user-friendly.2.It has Label options wherein you can put candidates under different labels. So whenever we are looking for candidates for a specific position we can easily go to our labels and find the candidate.3. Invite to apply is actually great. AI helps us to find candidates and send them the buzzer to apply for the position.4. There is another feature available where in AI helps you to fetch the best fit candidates.

Inconvénients

There is no major glitch that I felt in the software. Everything is going good.

Avantages

I really appreciated how ZipRecruiter tailored my jobs to meet my search goals and regularly checked in to see if they were sending the right jobs and if I had found a job yet. My feedback went answered because when I told them I wasn't interested in a certain type of job, they stopped sending me those types of jobs and focused on what I was looking for. Great program to use. I also like how if the salary isn't listed, we can request it. Another feature I like is how they pay attention to what we applied for and give updates on the status of our applications with additional recommendations. I highly recommend to everyone.

Inconvénients

At first, I was getting jobs that I wasn't interested in, but when they asked if it was the type of job I was looking for and I replied no, it was instantly changed to be more reflective of my job search needs. Thank you!

Avantages

The shear market share that Zip recruiter owns makes them the clear choice. Because of the traffic they generate, when you post a job with their services you're bound to get applicants. Usually within the hour. We have been really successful with the searches that Zip Recruiter has helped us with.

Inconvénients

With the good traffic there is also bad traffic. Due to the high number of viewers and applicants there is a little bit of riff that gets in. You can expect to have to sort through some under qualified candidates for all of the jobs you post. Especially if they are in a popular field like marketing or social media in a market where talent is high and jobs are scarce.

Avantages

This software is very formative and very helpful
For those who are looking for job

Inconvénients

I cant tell anything nad about this software

Avantages

It is a fair tool to begin with, has decent database and a good interface. Ease of managing jobs and candidates. It is very effective for commercial recruitment.

Inconvénients

Resume numbers comparatively to its competition and very low traffic from cleared candidates.

Avantages

Fast job searching and great descriptions of the jobs

Inconvénients

Callbacks may be a hassle and sometimes it gives false descriptions of the job.

Avantages

Prompt Response, candidates avialable on the portal are active and usually there is a prompt response to your calls or emails.
Job Positing features works perfectly fine and is there on the internet within no span of time.
Gives you the ability to connect on a real-time basis!

Inconvénients

Too Many questions before posting a job. Instead it should be pre-uploaded once the Job Details are uploaded in the system.
Options to choose multiple states and not just one.

Avantages

The applicant tracking system is great. As well as the ease of use and the Integration with our business. Very smooth over all.

Inconvénients

The candidate matching could be tweeked for better selection.

Avantages

It Narrows down to your city and also for the jobs that were posted most recently all the way up to 30 days

Inconvénients

When they have suggestions on jobs that are fitting for you sometimes they have nothing to do with your training skills that's posted on your resume.

Avantages

What i liked most about ZipRecruiter is how fast they connect employer and potential employees allowing me the opportunity to find jobs that i liked the most or was relative to me. Employer responses are quick with employers usually responding within a few hours of applying for any position. I love the filters allowing me to target specific jobs or companies that im looking for.

Inconvénients

What I dislike most about the software is when searching for no experience jobs or jobs that are closest to my location, I would be given jobs that are far from my current location or require experience to do making finding some no experience jobs frustrating. Filtering out the jobs that require experience when searching for jobs with no experience would greatly help in narrowing down the right job for me based on my keywords.

Avantages

They're very through I've had zero problem finding the right fit for my company.

Inconvénients

Can't really say I've found any cons using ziprecruiter.

Avantages

It is easy to navigate. You can use basic boolean strings or Titles to look for qualified candidates. The job posting is amazing you will get a lot of responses.

Inconvénients

Some of the applicant's expired profiles are still there and you can get their information.

Avantages

Very user friendly, easy to navigate & communicate/share posts. Love how I can see how many other people have applied and when my application has been viewed. Also cool when you see people who gave you a thumbs up!

Inconvénients

Some times it's frustrating when I don't hear back from a company who I applied to... especially when they've given me a thumbs up or have viewed my application. I think it should be mandatory that companies reach back out to people who they've viewed or given the person a thumbs up. It's a total let down when I feel like someone likes my resume but I never hear back. Wether they're interested or not, a response would be nice

Avantages

Zip Recruiter software allows me to get ahead of the game with the fast, positive and relevant software and customer support. It actually makes me feel pumped after using it, because of the positive reassurance it offers its end user. I feel like I am part of a team. that I have a huge support team behind me, cheering me on! I am feeling a little 'zippy' talking about it! If you want to hire positive people that will are actively making a difference in this ever changing world, You will LOVE it here! What are you waiting for? Join the party and get Zippy with me!

Inconvénients

I get a little over whelmed with email at times. That being said, I would prefer to have many options than to have none or too little of them. I guess, my basket flowth over here....

Avantages

Profile creation
Job advertisements
Job alerts
Application tracker
Job fit rating

Inconvénients

Scam jobs would sometimes be advertised

Avantages

Thank you I really like the fact that its like a one stop job shop to search a wide variety of of jobs and or contractors. It helps boom the business of sales in a wide area of life.

Inconvénients

I don't enjoy the fact that it has its glitches or crashes. And or the photos you get the correct ones and they make you do it over and over.

Avantages

Detailed job descriptions, pay scale, and specifics in employee expectations.

Inconvénients

There isn't anything that I can actually think of that I didn't like.

Avantages

The way that the information is organized and how you can find every that you need fast and efficient

Inconvénients

Actually everything is good, I can have updates as soon as we have an application and also we can review the profile without mayor issues

Avantages

I enjoy how simple it is to post a listing, and view all the applicants with ease! Additionally, you can view potential applicants that match the job listing/requirements, which is a great feature. I didn't purchase this platform for that, but it's good to have a feature that can recommend potential candidates for the job!

Additionally, I like how I can rate all the candidates and sort through them quickly.

Inconvénients

This is a relatively expensive platform, and I did not expect to pay this much just to post one job listing.

Also, the potential candidates feature was useful to an extent. Often, I would get bad matches and no good leads.

Avantages

ZipRecruiter makes it easy to post available positions everywhere. It saves time on the front end.

Inconvénients

Because of where your jobs are posted, you receive a LOT of terrible, non-qualified resumés and applications that you need to sift through to see which are actually worth an interview. Also, setting up an interview is terrible on this system because I can't seem to connect with the interviewee using just their software or it's spotty at best. You're better off to contact them directly.
