I love the zip recruiter app! I have been looking for work for about 4 months to no avail. Started using the zip recruiter app after I tweaked my resume and got instant results. Zip recruiter lets me know when a possible employer opened and looked at my app/resume that I submitted, indeed and the several staffing agencies do not do this. The 1 click apply is awesome, just make sure that the resume you saved on zip recruiter is the one that you want to use, there is not reviewing your app or resume with the 1 click apply. I would however recommend to zip recruiter that they require companies to post pay/compensation ranges they are are willing to offer instead of forcing potential applicants to search on their own. This gives the companies free market research on what they can get away with paying people and it basically will make people devalue their potential pay at a future employer in the chance that they will obtain the position. Also, there are companies that like to mask sales jobs under different names. Just take your time to make sure you read and know what the expectations from you are and how your pay is based, which I have noticed a lot of the companies have done that.

I’ve been avoiding this for a while, but I see so many critical and skeptical reviews I’m in shock. I’ve had this app for a few years. Initially I was getting interviews and hired the same day, but the jobs weren’t really a good fit. I came home one day and updated my resume with just the positions I was looking for and voila, I had real options. Then I happened to obtain the position I have through a friend but, I acquired all of my documents and ended up offered a position through her earning more in 2 days then a week with my job and the hours allowed for me to work both. Now due to life I’m still with my original company which happens to advertise through here as well, and within an hour of updating my resume I have 5 interviews set up. I’ve yet to have to pay for anything unless requested by the employer which is a no no, and over all the app is helpful and informative. The same as an employment agency without taking 60% of my actual earnings. I think it’s worth the effort if you want to get working, you don’t have to struggle as hard while you’re still searching for your perfect job.

Myself and my significant other decided to try out this app in an attempt to better ourselves and our livelihood. On the surface, it appears inviting and well-put-together… and it is! However the community really drags down the quality. The employers are plagued by heathens just trying to prey on people like us who are trying to better our lives. Remember: if it is too good to be true, it DEFINITELY is. They try everything they can to steal your information whilst posing as potential employers. And there are A LOT of them. It has gotten to the point where every potential opportunity is suspicious and it makes it rather difficult starting off on the right foot when you spend your entire interview wondering when they will try to steal your identity. The other issue I have is with the employers. It isn’t the Zips fault, however when you finally sift through the predators, there are many unprofessional employers who abuse the app as well. My personal favorites are the ones who advertise a position, you go in, and the position was nothing as advertised. Another common occurrence is false scheduling advertising. You get ready, get your mind set for success, ace your interview; only to be told that the schedule advertised couldn’t be offered. Total waste of time and energy.
