What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

It would be helpful to be able to see updates about the status of a job posted, employers could indicate if a job is still active, interviews are being conducted during a certain time range, if hiring is on-hold, or if job has been filled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ziprecruiter review"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I think the jobs that are posted there are quite authentic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

The filter section is not as good as I had expected. I wish they had more options for filtering location priorities like remote or on-site, specific job options etc. I keep getting sales job positions on my home page even though I've never applied for any sales position.

The platform offers a wide range of features that support every stage of the hiring process, while still remaining intuitive.

What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

What I appreciate the most about Zip Recruiter is the AI function. You apply for a job and it automatically starts looking for work related to what are you searching or applying for. In addition, it will randomly update you on possible opportunities you may not have been searching for. Also, most job postings are transparent with their salary rates. It's super simple to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

sometimes AI provide candidates who are not suitable for the job description they will be completly from a different domain, single candidates apply in different job boards leading to duplicate profiles, manual screening is required as it doesn't always provide the right match, for job roles like java, python, servicenow, salesforece we get too many profiles which is hard to source, not the best one for niche roles.
