ZipRecruiter

I have an account with this job platform and I am glad that I made it since the last job I landed was from here. I don't know about the other countries, but in the Netherlands this platform is getting quite popular. Many companies are posting their job calls here. Hence, a lot of job opportunities.
It is good that you can adjust your settings and I receive regular emails about new job calls for the positions I have set. You never know when a good and better opportunity will come.

Zip Recruiter is such a scam! They lure you in with "Post jobs for free" and you think the first one is free. After not getting quality candidates, I stopped logging in. Oh, I did get a few candidates from India for a job in Kansas. Then they start charging your credit card $18.00 per day. I racked up $1500 in charges before I realized what was going on. Their customer support team is like a brick wall. Why would an honest company bury this kind of thing in the fine print?

Signed up for a trial for which I got charged anyway. I still am trying to deal with these charges.

I received over 40 resumes and the majority of them didn't even respond. Of those who did respond and take my job, all of them did not show. It was all around a bad experience and their customer service was unhelpful.

I've had a trying day so reaching Nicole turned it around. She is pleasant, has an incredible phone bedside manner and was quick in helping to help me navigate your site and understand the process. I'm sure she not only creates business for Zip, but keeps customers coming back as well.

Please give her the kudos she so richly deserves.

Rebecca was most helpful concerning adding new users to our account. She advised how to give them some rights to review candidates but not receive emails from every single one.
Great help@ Zip Recruiter!

Look for other recruitment options if you can. I have used this for four years and each year it goes downhill a little more with their overpriced "enhancements." I'm looking at other options as our business grows. Representatives are generally not helpful, so don't waste you time.

ZipRecruiter gave me a refund after I kept calling. I told them I was going to tie up their resources until I got my money back. I was in a rude mood and regretted being so ugly, but it worked. Find another job site, this one sucks. They sent zero qualified candidates. Indeed.com and Craigslist are better and cheaper. It's very difficult to find good help, especially for jobs that require skilled labor. Don't waste your money on this site.
Indeed.com is free to start, and they sent good candidates. When I started paying—no more good candidates.

Zip-Recruiter is absurdly overpriced for the paltry and unqualified candidates that are received. I paid almost $700 to get 18 applicants for an entry level position. Only 2 were even remotely qualified. The rest were from across the country or completely unqualified. Very disappointed.

We received loads of candidates within the first few hours and it steadily continued but a great deal of the applicants didn't fit the job description at all... but the customer service was super, especially Melody. I will use Zip again if I need to fill another position.

I spoke with Rebecca and she was phenomenal. Her responses were absolute rapid fire and very clearly explained. She was also extremely friendly. This was my first time using the chat function for ziprecruiter and I definitely will recommend it and continue to use it after the great assistance I received from Rebecca.
Btw my issue was turning off a job board because we are receiving TOO MANY candidates. Ziprecruiter has been very good overall.

Job results are completely irrelevant to search terms used. Searching job openings for buyers, and it displays everything from CDL drivers, to fast food, to medical professionals. They email me "great match" results for positions that don't have any similarities to the experience provided in my profile. Worst site I have ever used as a job seeker.

My account rep was out of the office today, so I called customer service and spoke to Tara. She was able to answer all my questions and help me through the maze of having 2 postings in multiple locations for 6 available jobs, plus my being a first-time Ziprecruiter user! Thanks to Tara, my day is going much better now!

I received fantastic help from Tee this afternoon. She explained everything I needed to know and did not rush through our conversation. Working with her was a grand experience. Keep hiring Reps like this to speak for your Company. I explained to her that the way I was assisted in writing the Posting we only received Resumes from over qualified people and I was requesting a credit for this month and putting my account on hold. Thanks again Tee you were great.

The conversion of clicks is so low for what that you pay, £99 for listing is a robbery!

They do not have claimed traffic and people seeking job which they do advertise, apparently they have huge base, 2 clicks for the whole time is a laugh.

Don't waste your money on job posting here, free options do have more conversions.

I took ZipRecruiter up on its "free" offer for employer job postings. I received a majority of responses from unqualified candidates. Of the "qualified" responses, I was neither able to get responses to my calls/emails nor candidates to show for an interview. When I spoke to their customer service I was told, "no refund and no appeal process." I will NEVER use them again and advise all employers to steer clear!

A company this big and successful should not be sending hard copy mailings to people who don't want them. I gave my info to their company once and then didn't use them and i get constant hard copy mailings. They have zero concern for the environment. I don't do business with companies that do this.

Erika was able to walk me through the process to email a group of candidates. She also shared with me how to link our ad with social media. I was grateful to have my problem solved, however if the site was a little more user-friendly I might not have needed to use the chat feature. I had created the email then selected the candidates that I wanted to send it to several times and it would clear before Erika told me to go to the list of applicants then select each one then create the email. Also, why is sharing to social media such a secret? Hope this helps.

When you sign up for zip recruiter they send you few resumes of qualified candidates but it turns out they have been looking for jobs for sometime and they can't find one for whatever reasons, then when you start your subscription, you barely get any candidates even though your job posting is very competitive.

The quality of candidates has not been quite up to par. Out of 268 candidates there have only been maybe (6) that were semi qualified for the job. However they have worked hard to assist me with this issue. The customer service representative (Rebecca) did an excellent job in coming up with some helpful recommendations to better assist me in finding better qualified candidates for our company.

We had a free trial they did not honor. Then told the monthly fee was 249 after the trail. We cancelled after 15 days because we did not find the quality of applicants we anticipated. Then we were billed 349

I work for a staffing company and have used Ziprecruiter for 5 years. They used to be great. But the last 2 years have been anything but.

Last year I had 50 job openings posted and in 5 days got over 350 applicants. In a middle of a pandemic! The same jobs posted for the same time period this year and I have 37 applicants. 1/10th of what they did last year. 18 of the ads have been viewed by no one!

Last year I was paying $1400/month for the ads this year they want $3000.

They recommended opening a new account. Did that paid $2000 for 20 ads. Barely any improvement. This company used to be great…. Now you should use indeed or Glassdoor.

I just paid them $200 - then wasted over 2 hours setting up the account and writing the perfect job posting. As soon as I submitted, it went through 3 successful upload stages only to take me to an error page telling me I was unauthorized to view whatever landing page they took me to. And then to find out my job post was lost. They said, "Sorry, you need to write it again".

I would recommend utilizing other options like Nethire and Indeed. They took our company for $120 and will never see a dollar from us or our peers. We employee 100 people through Ontario and will also be addressing the charges with the BBB and Visa. How can you charge for an account on hold!
