My personality job recruiter, only sent me jobs that I'd be interested in, making my job search so much easier.

Top Critical Review

“Scam Company and Unethical”

Byron K.
8/29/23

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.

I use several job find sites. Ziprecruiter is by bar not great. After filling out my profile completely, 9 out of 19 job references are not related to my job search.
The worse part is, they give out your personal information on your resume to companies not in your field. They sell your information, this is not a sure place to provide anything personal.

Tip for consumers:
Don't provide important email or phone number.

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.

Tip for consumers:
I would wait to use not sure what the issue is now.

Constantly matched with irrelevant jobs in my field. For example, this morning I was sent a job posting for a mechanic. I am an intermodal transportation manager. Not related at all.

Yes you can find and apply for jobs, however they constantly spam me with emails for jobs I'm not qualified for and ones in a whole different state. Hitting unsubscribe seems to be pointless.

I've spoken to a few representatives about this issue. When you do a search and hoover/ click on a candidates name, the full resume does not show up completely. Some have company names missing, wording and format is off, etc. I am wasting "Views" by clicking the full contact info, just to see the actual full resume. Sarah (WHO IS AWESOME) explained that when you do the search it only shows the ZR resume, which we all know is not filled out completely. When you click the full contact you are shown the resume the candidate made/ uploaded. HUGE difference than what you are originally shown and what it actually is.

Sarah is awesome and did give us a free credit for the Boost when I was asking for view credits back. Reason I am asking for free credits is because I am having to waste them to view the actual, real, full resume.

No company is in the business for paying for a service that does not work properly. Hopefully, this gets fixed like yesterday.

After multiple billing issues over the years - i had a recent experience with Melody, via their chat line and SHE was great. She listened, took care of it timely and was pleasant. I wish all representatives were like Melody.
