    Pros
    This software is amazing and a lot cheaper than the leading competitor. Customer service is better and my APS automatically uploads everything to zip recruiter.
    Overall, ziprecruiter is super easy to use and user friendly. I love that they were able to offer me specific choices of what I companies that I wanted to work for.
    I like the ability to have your applicants on hand at the click of a button. Having the most qualified applicants put directly on top of the list is awesome.
    Cons
    Sometimes the job listing on this tool were a little misleading. I went on various interviews using this tool and was disappointed with the companies.
    Unfortunately, there were also a number of fake applications/accounts that we wind up wasting time with until we realize they aren't real.
    Not hearing pay from jobs you apply for either in denying or moving forward can be frustrating.

    Best Site for Employment

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    very profession. It was also helpful by matching me with the job positions I am qualified for. Didn't have to spend a lot of time filling out every application for each job I had applied for. They give you a one click option which helped me apply for my job opportunities.

    Pros

    I loved everything about the site. From helping me make out a Resume to helping finding job openings that match my experience.

    Cons

    I couldn't find anything about I didn't like. Help with not having to fill out every application. Just had a one click option. Easy

    Zip recruiter is okay

    Reviewed a month ago

    Over all it has been ok. No my my preferred method with all the hoops to jump through but effective nonetheless

    Pros

    I like how I could search for possible applicants and also see other job postings in the same area as ours. Also the ease of searching for other jobs

    Cons

    The fact that I some jobs don’t let you see their info and they send you to other engines to search. It can be a headache

    Zip Recruiter

    Reviewed 3 months ago

    My overall experience with ZipRecruiter is very pleasant.

    Pros

    The pros about ZipRecruiter is that for the Security Guard industry there are a ton of applicants. Zip Recruiter has a large pool of candidates in NYC to choose from. The resumes are easy to download as is using every other feature in this site.

    Cons

    I do not have any cons from my use of ZipRecruiter as a human resource administrator.
