ZipRecruiter is still going strong!
ZipRecruiter is great for assisting our clients in smaller to mid-size markets where we don't have a large candidate flow already in place. ZipRecruiter lets us target candidates with greater detail than other services. Example: Targeting a specific suburb or zip code of Chicago instead of (LinkedIn) "The Greater Chicago Area" - This ability to dig into locations and source from the database is outstanding!

I have had an overall good experience, I have been using the software for 2+ years.
Just right
pleasant and consistent. This program has increased productivity for myself and my business.
Frustrating implementation and account setup for Greenhouse ATS users
Overall experience with the system was extremely disappointing. I was unable to determine the effectiveness of the product due to all of the issues we encountered along the way.
ZipRecruiter - Pricey But Valuable
Overall it was a good experience minus the cost. I wound up having to contact someone in customer support to turn off the auto-renewal.

ZipRecruiter is still going strong!
Pros
Overall ZipRecruiter seems to be experiencing a resurgence in attracting high caliber applicants within the service industry from what I've seen overall in the last year. The database is another great tool that gives us access to candidates that we wouldn't get on other platforms such as Indeed. Not only that, but I feel it's a higher level of professional candidates across the board. The user interface is very easy to learn and you can customize alerts to your liking.
Cons
I felt for a while the site was a little dated, but it appears that they've modernized their look, user interface and are still able to attract top-notch talent. I think the value for service is greater when you're able to buy in larger quantities than on an individual basis, but that's the nature of the business.

I have had an overall good experience, I have been using the software for 2+ years.
Pros
I like that I am able to post and search for jobs for free. Sometimes the company are looking for temporary workers, so I will go online to post job listings. I also, search myself for extra gigs.
Cons
I dislike that you have to be signed in, in order to complete an application. That is about it, nothing too major.
Response from ZipRecruiter

Frustrating implementation and account setup for Greenhouse ATS users
Overall experience with the system was extremely disappointing. I was unable to determine the effectiveness of the product due to all of the issues we encountered along the way.
Pros
I really enjoyed the resume search database. This was the only feature I was able to use without any problem. Unfortunately to due to the issues we encountered during account setup, we were not able to determine the actual effectiveness of this product as a recruiting tool.
Cons
My experience with the initial setup of our account and integration of ZipRecruiter with our ATS, Greenhouse, was extremely frustrating. We went through 3 different Account Managers in a 60 day period with 0 consistency of information with each new person. There were various issues we encountered with account setup and their ability to correctly scrape our jobs from our ATS.
After starting this process in early May of 2019 we decided to part ways in mid to late August due to lagging issues with our account we just could not seem to receive a reasonable resolution for. Unfortunately due to all of the issues, we were never able to determine the effectiveness of the actual product.
The platform has an algorithm that fine tunes its targeting of the "ideal" applicant based off your rating of applicants that apply. The more time you spend rating applicants the better targeting capabilities it supposedly has. The concept is great, however, for companies with a large hiring volume it becomes a time consuming feature to have to manage applicants in both an ATS and in ZipRecruiter.
Response from ZipRecruiter
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback with us, Danielle! If you ever need any further assistance with the ZipRecruiter platform or your ATS integration, please feel welcome to contact our dedicated customer care team directly. Best! --TC
ZipRecruiter - Pricey But Valuable
Overall it was a good experience minus the cost. I wound up having to contact someone in customer support to turn off the auto-renewal.
Pros
I love the user interface of the recruiter platform. You're able to visualize your candidates as well as label where they are in the recruiting process and take notes.
Cons
The cost is QUITE pricey compared to other options. I also don't like that they have an auto-renew on your credit card.
Response from ZipRecruiter
We appreciate your feedback, Sarah! Our Customer Care Team is available 24/7 by phone, chat, or email. Please reach out to us at any time for assistance with your account. We are always happy to help. Thank you for your business and have a great rest of your day. ~DW
