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.

Pros

I have been with Top Echelon for many years and their employees are very good and supportive.
The ability to create and archive recruit lists is really great when manual follow-ups aren't created, and it helps keep our team organized / focused.
The support and training offered are some of the best aspects of this solution. The team at Top Echelon has been great to work with.

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.

Cons

Lack of graph making- which could be user error.
Over my (almost) two years there have only been a few times that we needed support, each time I was disappointed with the availability to get someone on the phone / response time on email.
The interaction with external APIs is extremely limited. Being able to download and upload data with various fields and mapping is restrictive.

Easy to Use and effective Versatility

Reviewed 3 years ago

Their AI technology is fantastic and are familiar with any application you've received, but the support response needs improvements. Overall, they work really hard of following and revealing status geared for your organization.

Pros

It's a web-based business commercial center and enrollment stage that controls its database of 31 million+ resumes, including an (AI)- driven platform coordinating with innovation to assist you with tracking down the best talent to fill rates and recruit the right abilities for the organization.

Cons

Top priority should be given with response and/or assistance needed.

Pros

After receiving a post card in the mail, I thought I had nothing to lose. I was right! I was able to find not 1 but 3 qualified persons to interview for an open position which I was able to quickly fill. ZipRecruiter will be my first place to look in the event we need new staff members.

ZipRecruiter is very costly for small businesses such as this. We have to really budget if we are going to get a staff member through them.

I've been recommending ZipRecruiter to everyone.

Reviewed 6 years ago

The only problem I have with this site is that I didn't sign up for some of the e-mail alerts I'm getting. So, I'm getting e-mails like "this job pays $18 an hour!" and it's a for truck drivers. I'm looking for work in marketing. Otherwise, it's great. Job listings are a better quality that what I've found on other sites, their suggested jobs are more accurate than other job search sites, and best of all, if you're a close match for the job you're applying for, they'll let the employer know about you and push your resume along. I've gotten 3 interviews in under a week of using this site.

Pros

They push your resume to the top 10% of applications if you're a close match.

Cons

Lots of e-mail alerts I didn't sign up for.
