1. 5/5Easy to use, Networking to the max

   This app, literally skyrocketed my employment networking! The precision of categories in the profile really highlight my skills and qualifications even better than my resume, which I have put a lot of thought and effort and editing into throughout my careers. I spent about 6 hours really detailing my profile. And then immediately thereafter, I 1-click-applied to over 100 jobs within 30 minutes. Each job fit my skills, qualifications and background. And I received several emails and notifications with more and more positions that fit exactly what I was looking for and actually qualified for! I have been on many other employment websites and apps, and have never had such response from employers, I cannot say that I know what the difference in this app is, but I do know for a fact that whatever that difference is-that what I notice is: employers are actually reading my application and profile when I apply; where as, other apps and sites-employers are flooded with so many applications and my profile has so many pages and categories, it is hard to get a picture of my skills and background. This app literally has a short and specific easy to read profile, so employers are actually reading. The day after completing my profile and applying to over 100 jobs, I received 5 back to back phones calls, which all resulted in interviews!!! I had to start turning down interviews by the second day, and actually cancelling and replacing interviews, prioritizing them by schedules and pay rates that I liked better! This app is literally the best employment app I have EVER used..... HANDS DOWN!!! I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANY OTHER APP OR SITE FOR EMPLOYMENT SEARCH. I WILL NEVER USE ANOTHER ONE EITHER!!

2. 3/5Needs improvement

   I am leaving only 3 stars because the app is missing a few features that would/could be beneficial to users. The first annoyance is that most times I am shown jobs that are no where near me, out of my experience level, or that I have no interest in. I contacted support and they told me the more you use the app the more it gets to know you and you see more relevant jobs. I did this and it almost seems to have gotten worse. I only ever look for jobs in 2 states on the east coast. However I mainly see jobs posts for Indana and Kentucky. Neither of which state do I have ANYTHING at all to do with. An update that actually shows relevant jobs would improve my use because I have since went from daily searching to every other day as my main use is now other job apps. I agree with other posters that say a distance filter option would helpful. So would other filters like FT, PT, Contract, minimum/maximum salary etc. I also wouldn’t mind a filter that somehow allows you to select or deselect the type of field you want or don’t want. For example: regardless of what new position I search for, the app feels the need to constantly show me positions for an RN, speech pathologist, and/or physical therapist just because my resume has previous health experience (with absolutely no health certifications/experiences to such an extent listed on my resume). I am no where near qualified to those types of positions nor do I want to be. Overall I just wish it would pay attention to what I search for.

3. 2/5User Beware

   Before downloading this app you need to understand that this is more a site that you can use to send your resume to numerous employers within seconds, not a website to fill out legit job applications. This is also not a site that can be used to find “regular” job like a server job or anything like that, it’s more for career based jobs. It’s very important to check the email that you put on your resume several times a day as employers are more likely to reach out via email or even text than via phone call. I agree with all other reviews that employers who post open positions on this site are looking to fill the open positions ASAP, it’s very common to get a request for an interview from the hiring manager the next morning after applying and it’s obvious that these employers are looking to hire someone on the spot. My biggest issue with this app is that the job posting will say the job is in one city and I’ll apply knowing that I’ll have no issue traveling there should I be given the job but when I get a call back I’m told that the job is in a completely different city, typically 20+ miles away from where the posting said it was (I’m not sure if this an error on the app’s part or on the employers part but it’s happened with every job I’ve applied for). I have encountered one scammer who was trying to convince it deposit a fraudulent check into my bank and buy “gifts” for their clients as my first job task; mind you this was all over email and it was before an in person or phone interview and hiring process.

4. 5/5Easy to use, love 1 click apply

   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.

5. 3/5Beautifully disappointing

   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.
