ZipRecruiter
check_circle VerifiedZipRecruiter was founded in 2010 in Santa Monica, CA and has grown to provide its services to over 7,000,000 job seekers each month. The company's mission is to help people find meaningful employment and has done incredibly well in completing that mission. ZipRecruiter makes it easy for employers to find talent by connecting job seekers to relevant companies. ZipRecruiter has over 10,000 new companies subscribe each month, has 100+ job distribution partners, and has provided its services to over 1,000,000 employers.
The Good
- Price range
- Reach
- Resources and learning materials
- Special features
- Customer support
Price Range
Employers may test out ZipRecruiter's services with a 4-day free trial. After that, they must choose the package that best suits their needs:
- Starter (3 active jobs slots): $249month
- Team (10 active job slots): $375/month
- Company (20 active job slots): $576/month
- Big Hiring (50 active jobs slots): $752/month
For an additional fee, jobs can get a "traffic boost" (guaranteed 100 more hits) or be listed on paid job boards like Monster.com and LinkedIn. All of ZipRecruiter's services, including resume distribution, is completely free for job seekers, and that is expected always to be the case: "ZipRecruiter will never charge job seekers for anything."
Reach
ZipRecruiter's resume current database includes over 13 million job seekers. Over 640,000 new jobs are posted daily within ZipRecruiter's job board network (over 100 other sources) and social network.
Resources and Learning Materials
This site does a good job explaining how to "search smart" using various titles, quotes, and terms. It provides more guidance in this area than most other employment sites. Additionally, their blog contains employment education within four categories:
- Job search tips
- Interview tips
- Career advice
- Insights
One excellent article to search in the archives is titled "Your Most Productive Job Search Schedule," an extremely practical yet novel approach to finding a job.
Special Features
Job seekers will find ZipRecruiter to be easy to use, as it has several features that simplify the job search process. First, those with a LinkedIn profile can import their LinkedIn profile to ZipRecruiter.com as they build their presence on ZipRecruiter. They can sign up for listing notifications, track the status of their applications, and apply with a 1-tap system, linking their profile information with potential jobs.
The job search bar works great, but the job browsing page is a great alternative as well. All jobs in the system that can be categorized are very simply and clearly laid out by state, category, and job type so browsers can narrow their search using the keywords most commonly used in each industry.
Employers can include pre-interview surveys or quizzes (free-form, multiple choice, or yes/no) in job postings so they can view individual responses alongside a resume. Another perk is the option of collaborating with team members to rate, organize, filter, share notes, and add labels to potential candidates-all online through ZipRecruiter. Candidates can also be exported to Excel. Both job seekers and employers benefit from the resume database.
While employers pay for this service, job seekers don't have to pay anything to opt in. Only paid employer and recruiter-identifying account holders can access this information. Resumes are well-formatted for easy downloading, printing, and sharing with colleagues during the hiring process. On the job seeker side, applicants don't have to spend time worrying if their documents have been seen, as resume views are updated under their application status.
Customer Support
ZipRecruiter makes it easy to get in touch with them for assistance. They offer live help through chat or phone from 6am-6pm Pacific Time daily. Questions can also be answered on the Twitter account @ZipRecruiter.
The Bad
- Experience
Experience
ZipRecruiter was founded in 2010, so it is one of the newer companies in the job search industry.
The Bottom Line
ZipRecruiter was definitely created with the job seeker in mind, just as much as the recruiter. The website layout is user-friendly, live help is available, both searching and browsing options are intuitive and clear, and the resume distribution system is mutually beneficial. There is a lot to like about this company, clients to at least test the 4-day trial before committing to pay for ZipRecruiter's services.

ZipRecruiter is a site that I don't typically go to first to job search because I like Indeed so much, BUT this is awesome to compare reviews of companies and how the employees like the culture. It's super helpful when job searching, and I'll be using it more more in my future inquiries.

Although I have not found a job yet, I find that the jobs that are posted on here are more reliable than Kijiji. It’s hard to find a job today with so many scams going on in the world.

I found my last job with ZipRecruiter and have used it to search for many other opportunities. Part of what I appreciate most is being notified when my application has been viewed or when a job is closed, and being able to easily track my applied jobs.

Results are delighted fixated by titles. I'm receiving a large majority of matches that do not match my experience. There are options to help narrow this, but I still find myself spending too much time looking at jobs that are sales focused.
