"Easy Job Search and Applications with Helpful Filters"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I find it easy to find jobs I'm interested in, such as Customer service and Graphic design. It's easy to apply for the jobs I find. I can add filters to adjust where I want to apply, how much to make annually, and if I want to be on-site or remote.

I find the performance to be fairly smooth. It's not perfect, but it does match my resume to a fair degree. Thankfully, it's free to use, so I don't feel it's necessary to pay for a subscription. I haven't needed to use any support, as I have not needed to. There is no AI to use on ZipRecruiter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

No AI to adjust your resume for the jobs you find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Job Search and One-Click Apply, But Listings and Notifications Need Refinement"
What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

What I like most about ZipRecruiter is how streamlined and user-friendly it makes the entire job search process. The platform is easy to navigate, and the filters help me quickly narrow down opportunities by location, salary, experience level, and job type. I also appreciate that many of the job recommendations feel relevant, which saves me time compared to searching manually across multiple sites.

One of the most helpful features is the one-click apply option, since it lets me submit applications efficiently without having to re-enter the same information over and over. The job alerts are another big benefit because they keep me updated on new openings that match my interests and help me apply early. I also like being able to track my applications and see when employers have viewed them, which adds more transparency to the process. Overall, ZipRecruiter feels convenient, organized, and effective for finding quality job opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZipRecruiter?

What I dislike about ZipRecruiter is that some job listings can feel repetitive or outdated. I sometimes run into the same positions multiple times, or I’ll see roles that may no longer be available. I’ve also noticed that not every posting includes enough detail about salary, benefits, or company expectations, which makes it harder to judge whether an opportunity is a good fit before I apply.

Another downside is that while job alerts are helpful, they can send too many notifications or recommend positions that are only loosely related to my preferences. In some cases, it’s also difficult to tell how active an employer is, or whether they’re seriously reviewing applications. Overall, the platform is useful and convenient, but improving listing quality and recommendation accuracy would make the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZipRecruiter?

I like being able to search for jobs with the help of AI and ChatGPT using @ZipRecruiter. I also like the 'how strong a match I am' for different roles based on my skills and experience feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
