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.

Ziprecruiter is a site that helps in finding job opportunities or vacancies from recruiting managers. All you need to do is register for free, leaving all important information that would help them find job vacancies in your work domain. Immediately they find any, you are notified through a mail, so that you can apply. Their service are free yet, very satisfactory. I commend mostly their promptness.

I received fantastic help from Tee this afternoon. She explained everything I needed to know and did not rush through our conversation. Working with her was a grand experience. Keep hiring Reps like this to speak for your Company. I explained to her that the way I was assisted in writing the Posting we only received Resumes from over qualified people and I was requesting a credit for this month and putting my account on hold. Thanks again Tee you were great.

When Robi finally came online in chat, my issue was taken care of immediately and with courtesy. 5 stars for Robi, 4 for having to wait for someone to help me. Ended up starting another task and having to go back and forth between the screens checking to see when chat was starting. Not Robi's fault. Overall, I have used Zip for the last 5 years (as a casual job seeker also) and find the postings to be timely. Have never found a "fake" one.

I called to get help with my first real job ads on Ziprecruiter. After going through about 3 phone prompts I got quickly connected with Maika. She was very helpful with setting up my adds, and I'd definitely want to talk to her again for more help. I would say that I've communicated with several reps from Zip and it seems like I get conflicting advice because they emphasis different areas of the job posting they feel is important.

Spoke with Tara yesterday and with Katie today in regards to charges on our account. The issues were quickly and satisfactorily resolved. Both Tara and Katie were professional and very courteous. Katie even sent a link on how to post more successful job ad. My bosses and I are pleased with the service we received.

Being new to recruiting online Ziprecruiter has been great to work with. They have an amazing support team to help even a neophyte like myself. They coached me through setting up the listings then when I've had questions I was lucky enough to get Stacia M (both times so far) to help me. She does great at figuring out what I'm trying to ask and helping me figure out the solution. At this rate with her help I'm actually going to get good at this.

When things aren't working, I receive capable and quick resolutions (thanks Richard Lewis!). My Recruiting Specialist Josh Beckman is also a superstar in helping me optimize our job postings and get the most out of our subscription.

Went through 3 people, all took me down their particular troubleshooting path and passed me on promptly. Roy, Alley and Morgan were all professional and clear on their instructions. Morgan got it squared away for me, thank you!

I was very upset because of the promotion that said using your service was on a 'free trial basis' and you just needed my credit card to make sure I was a 'real person', and then you started charging me without notice (silly me for believing).
Myra talked me off the ledge and showed me all the advantages of using your software - if the bait and switch hadn't occurred, I'd be using it now because of Myra's excellent presentation.
But the bit about 'have to cancel within 4 days' that must have been written in VERY small letters somewhere other than what I read, still has me turned off from using your otherwise extremely useful service.
Myra should get a raise for dealing with me so professionally.

I called to see if there was a way to email a manager multiple resumes. Erika assisted me and was very helpful. She was very thorough and proceeded to ask me if I knew about other features.

I had received the best customer service today from Electra at ZipRecruiter. Of all the calls or contact I have had with ZipRecruiter, this by far was the best.

I spoke with Rebecca and she was phenomenal. Her responses were absolute rapid fire and very clearly explained. She was also extremely friendly. This was my first time using the chat function for ziprecruiter and I definitely will recommend it and continue to use it after the great assistance I received from Rebecca.
Btw my issue was turning off a job board because we are receiving TOO MANY candidates. Ziprecruiter has been very good overall.

More like 3.5 stars for now. Recent technical issue was solved to spec by Katie Barlow. Thank you. Had trouble posting an ad and it got fix once I dejunkified my Google history. Wish I would have know I could have utilized the initial 3 job posting spaces provided to target different cities when we only had our 1 position available listed in 1 city. I almost canceled because it didn't seem worth the monthly cost for that. Then we upgraded for an additional short time because we had more positions to add. Still pretty high otherwise on top of the boost post thing. If you're a smaller business, the cost over the monthly longterm is high. Overall, the site is mostly user friendly. The summary/rate thing that pops up at first is annoying. How can I effectively rate the candidate if I have not fully looked at their full profile?

I started off my chat being very angry about being charged for my free trial of ZipRecruiter. Rebecca helped me to understand that it is free for four days. I wanted to cancel because I hadn't gotten any good hits. She gave me a few recommendations for my posting including how I have 2 more postings that I could use to expand my reach for my position. She walked me through how to do this online. She also showed me where I could search the resume database. Just a little extra attention to my needs and now I am going to keep my postings active and see what I get. :) Thanks Rebecca!
