Solved the problem
March 30, 2018

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.

We ran an add with ZipRecruiter and cancelled the add before the 30 days was up because to of the horrible candidates we were getting. However, unless you delete your existing account, they will keep charging you a monthly fee. This was an account that I had with them prior to posting an employment add this go around. SCAM. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY, DUE TO IT'S LACK OF ETHICS AND INTEGRITY. This is NOT how a company should do business. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! I truly believe that this company uses A.I. And just out to take your money.

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.

Devious marketing
July 26, 2023

Zip recruiter will sell you a single job posting for aorund 500.00 and you will get poor results. Then they start to up sell.You can end up spending 2-3K to get what you intially paid for. Very devois practice. Not an honset company.

Candidate Quality
November 18, 2017

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.

Twice the cost… 1/10th the value!
August 10, 2021

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.

Bait and Switch
August 26, 2022

I've been a multi year user of Zip Recruiter and have found it to be a fair value overall. My issue is that when you upgrade your service to try something new for a month and decide to go back to your former plan your former plans pricing increases. I was on a 4 job posting plan and paying $377 and change monthly, plus boosts etc. My guy at Zip suggested a new plan which I tried for a month, cost was $993. Really was not worth the upgrade as it just generated more garbage than normal to sort thru, went back to my old plan and now price is $480. I email my Zip guy twice, no response, I leave a Vm, no response. Finally chased him down to express my thoughts on the price change, nothing I can do I'm told, I had a disco7nt and now it's gone. This had happened in the past as well so it's a management decision not the CSR. I told him it's a sleazy practice, you can tell he's used to the feedback. This is basically a bait and switch tactic. Now the four job plan is going to $575 from the $377 I was paying. I was on auto pilot with the plan and now I'm taking a hard look at the value. Shame on you Zip Recruiter

This company is a farce. They send you emails of jobs that are old and outdated. They also send you jobs that are completely outside of the industry in which you're looking for and in which you are not interested in. Don't waste your time.

I started a free trial to see if it was a good way to find staff. I received terrible candidates and was charged over $1,056.00. It was a terrible experience. I would suggest DO NOT try Zip Recruiter.

We have used Ziprecruiter for years, so we are puzzled as to why after 3 weeks, we only recd 18 resumes when, in the past, we received hundreds. The salesperson said that the type of ad we place, ie $250 w a small discount usually runs 6 months. We only placed an ad for one month in the past with great results. Then, we were told to switch the location from Decatur, GA to Atlanta and change the job title from Legal Assistant/Paralegal to just Legal Assistant. Finally, we told to pay for a job boost, which is a $100 plus. Yet, the initial days when we were at the top of the search engine, we recd just a couple resumes. Do not use Ziprecruiter right now. If anyone can share, why we are getting terrible results, please let me know.

Wonderful Call

One thing that makes life so much easier is someone's ability to know what we want before we ask. Morgan actually provided me with this type of service today when I called. Good job Morgan and thank you!

Erika not only answered my question, she also explained how we can appear in Google searches by adding a salary range and location to our job posting, both of which were missing. She was a great help.

I had a great experience using their online chat help. Tatiana was very quick and responsive to my needs about adding deal breaker questions to my job posting. She even offered a YouTube tutorial for future reference!

Very helpful
January 8, 2018

It found me qualified candidates very quickly. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to fill positions. Also, great and friendly customer service representatives. Rebecca was awesome at helping me cancel my account. It was no longer needed as it worked and we filled every position in under 1 month.

Agent was supportive and very helpful in my understanding how to add new User accounts so that hiring managers will be able to manage their own job listings going forward. Nice job. If there was 6th-star to give I would have done so.
