Just click the "Post to Job Boards" button and select any plan. We ask for a credit card to validate your account and allow for a seamless transition if you decide to keep your account active past 4 days (i.e. we won’t have to take your job posting offline to wait for your credit card). If you decide to cancel before the free trial ends you will not be charged anything. You can keep whatever candidates you receive.
Job slots represent the number of jobs you can have live on the job boards at any given time. For example, if you are on a ZipRecruiter plan with 3 job slots, you can post 3 jobs today and replace them with 3 different jobs tomorrow without needing any more slots. You can freely swap jobs in and out of these slots by closing and posting jobs as needed. If you need additional job slots just select a higher plan on the Select Plan page.
ZipRecruiter distributes jobs to 100+ of the most visited job boards, websites and social networks on the Internet. We are always adding more job boards and sources of job seeker traffic to expand the audience for your job posting(s).
Jobs are posted to these 100+ partner sites in one of 3 ways:
* Your jobs are automatically distributed via job feeds to our more traditional partners.
* You can handpick which Social Networks to post your jobs on through your account. Twitter postings can be automated with a single authentication.
To learn more about the kinds of jobs that can be posted to ZipRecruiter, please view our job posting guidelines.
You can view our job board partners at ZipRecruiter.com/job-boards. We automatically send your active jobs to all of the job boards listed under "Job Boards". Sponsored boards and Veteran Boards are not included in your subscription. Sponsored and Veteran boards require an additional fee in addition to your current subscription. There is no extra charge to utilize your "Social Networks", but your log-in information is required, so you will need to follow the necessary steps to share your job through social media. Your Twitter postings, however, can be automated with a single authentication.
No. The ZipRecruiter system automatically distributes your post to all of our 100+ job board partners.
A new job posting will usually take 24 hours to appear on outside job boards. Also, when you edit your job description, your changes will take about 24 hours to be reflected on outside job boards. Likewise, if you close the job it will take 24 hours to be removed from them.
The way search results are displayed for job seekers varies among our job board partners. In general, ads are displayed based on relevancy, not posting date. To ensure that your ad is easily found by the right candidates reach out to our Customer Success team. You can also try one of our trafficboosts to ensure maximum visibility.
ZipRecruiter sends your job promptly to all of our job board partners. Sometimes, you don’t see your ad because the board in question has not yet updated their pages. Different job boards update with different frequencies and can show different results depending on the search terms used. In some cases, their search engine may not display your job ad on the search terms you would expect. Once we deliver the job, the frequency with which it is shown is controlled by the partner entirely, not by Ziprecruiter.
ZipRecruiter does not maintain a partnership with Craigslist. We will continue to posts job ads to 100+ leading job boards. If you need additional traffic to your job ad, TrafficBoost can get you up to 100 additional visitors. This sponsored posting option includes your job ad in our daily job alerts that are sent to 15 million+ active job seekers and sponsored placement on other job boards.
ZipRecruiter does not maintain a partnership with Indeed.com. We will continue to posts job ads to 100+ leading job boards.

We offer a variety of subscription plans that differ based on the number of jobs you need to post. Your free trial functions just like a paid subscription plan so you are able to get a firm understanding of how ZipRecruiter works. To view the plan you selected and designated job slots, Click "Subscription" from the upper right hand navigation. There you will see your subscription type, total job slots, and subscription cost.
No. Once you are a ZipRecruiter subscriber, you will pay no extra fees to post your jobs to the majority of our job boards. We do offer optional posting to paid job boards if you want to get even more distribution (like LinkedIn).
You could, but we think it is a huge pain in the neck. We created ZipRecruiter to make this process more efficient, effective and delightful. Plus, all of your candidates will come into one list rather than trying to manage it all through your inbox.
By doing this, candidates may choose not to click our "Apply Now" button to submit their resume and screening question answers. If they apply through our system you can view their resumes and screening question answers online as well as collaborate on rating them with your colleagues. We will email you as soon as you get a new candidate so there is no need to include your phone or email address in the job description.
Yes, we are planning on adding many more job boards. The goal is for you to manage all of your job postings through ZipRecruiter instead of creating/managing dozens of accounts across all of the job board sites. If you have a favorite job board you would like us to include, please contact us and let us know!
Yes, we work with leading veteran job boards. To have your jobs receive additional exposure to the veteran community, contact Sales to learn more
TrafficBoost gets you up to 300 additional visitors to your job (100 per boost) by promoting it to millions of active job seekers in our daily job alerts. It’s a great way to get additional traffic to your posting. Note that jobs posted in very rural areas will likely get less than the maximum visitors. Click here to learn more about TrafficBoost.
Trafficboost will put your job into sponsored feeds across all of the job boards in the ZipRecruiter Distribution network and is a great option when you need a flood of candidates, fast. Your job is also promoted in our daily email alerts sent to 15 million+ active job seekers. With each "TrafficBoost" you can get up to 100 unique visitors to your job posting. Additionally, a TrafficBoost will not post your job to other job boards.
From the Jobs page, you can purchase 1 TrafficBoost credit by clicking on "Boost Job" next to your job ad or the "Promote This Job" icon underneath your job ad. Select "Single Boost" and simply follow the steps to purchase your boost.
Each boost will deliver up to 100 extra visitors to your job ad. Double and triple boost means your ad will stay high in search results, longer across both our distribution network and job alerts while we try to get to 200 or 300 clicks respectively. We can’t always guarantee these results, but the system makes every effort over a 30-day period to deliver.
The primary criteria for matching is: geography, the quality of the job match to the seeker’s job alert and the freshness of the ad. Jobs that are TrafficBoosted will be shown to many more job-seekers.
Yes, you can add a Custom Apply URL for each job you post. Just select the "Custom Apply URL" option on the Edit Job page and enter the URL that points directly to the application page created by your ATS.
In some cases a job ad is either in a smaller geographic location or in a category for which there are less job seekers on job boards. In these instances, the ZipRecruiter system does everything possible to max out the delivered results, but may not be able to deliver the full 100 clicks. If your TrafficBoost fails to meet its requirement please feel free to contact our Success Team for assistance.

You can view all of our job board partners at ZipRecruiter.com/job-boards. We automatically send your active jobs to all of the job boards listed under "Job Boards". Sponsored boards and Veteran Boards are not included in your subscription. Sponsored and Veteran boards require an additional fee in addition to your current subscription. Social networks do not require an additional fee but you do need to share the job to most social networks from within your ZipRecruiter account. However, your Twitter postings can be automated with a single authentication.
A new job posting will usually take 24 hours to appear on outside job boards, so you should start to see some activity after the 24 hour mark. If it’s been over 24 hours and you have yet to see activity on your job, feel free to give the Customer Success Team a call at 877-252-1062. We’d love to help you optimize your job for the best possible exposure.
Unfortunately we do not have statistics on job performance in a specific industry because there are many factors that affect a job’s performance. Make sure that you try to write clear and concise job titles with strong keywords and quality job descriptions to help yield the best results.

Here at ZipRecruiter, all new accounts go through a verification process prior to sending off your job ads. If a hiring company’s job violate our Terms of Use, we then terminate the account. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience, but with countless site visitors and a variety of job board partners, it is our responsibility to ensure the quality and legitimacy of the jobs being posted on our site.
Great question! While we strive to be as transparent as possible in every aspect of our business, each partner has their own preference about the use of their logo and name for various different reasons. We update the number of partners to provide insight into our continuous efforts to expand the reach for your job ads and ask every partner for authorization to share their logo. Unfortunately, not all partners provide that authorization.
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+. We support posting to LinkedIn Groups and Facebook Pages in addition to profile posting. You can also connect your Twitter account to automatically tweet your jobs.
Yes, you can connect ZipRecruiter to your Twitter account and automatically tweet every job you post! Just connect your account on the Social Posting page one time. The connection is per user, so each user on your account can connect their own Twitter account. LinkedIn and Facebook auto-posting are coming soon.
You can share your job ad on Linkedin via the social media sharing options in your account. This will make your job post visible to your groups and connections on either your personal Linkedin or company page.
Did you purchase a job posting? Linkedin is a sponsored job board partner and requires an additional fee. We do offer a free social sharing option through LinkedIn which is an effective way to attract high quality candidates. From a job’s "Get More Candidates" page or by clicking the "Promote This Job" icon from underneath your job ad in your Jobs page, you can click on the Social Networks tab. Select Linkedin. A LinkedIn popup will appear. Check the share option(s) you prefer, Share an update, Post to groups, or Send to individuals. When you post, it will be shared where you specified.
Some LinkedIn groups are moderated, and for such groups there is currently no way to post to the jobs tab (LinkedIn’s API does not support it), which means that your jobs will be posted to Discussions. Some group moderators are OK with posting to the Discussions tab, while others don’t like it.
We post to all social networks immediately, but there may be some lag time between posting and when the post appears to your contacts. Also, LinkedIn groups that are moderated require the moderator’s approval before the post can be seen in the group.
LinkedIn does not clearly specify limits for posting to groups.
No. Posting to LinkedIn Groups is considered a share option and does not incur any additional fees outside your normal Ziprecruiter subscription.
To rename a job, click the name of the job from the Jobs page and then click the "Edit job details" button when you hover over job title.
To close a job, go to the Jobs page and then click "Close" button underneath the job name. You can always click the "Re-Post Job" button to re-post the job to the job boards if you’d like.
When you close a job, the job is removed from any job boards (within 24 hours), and the job URL will no longer be live for candidates to apply for your job. You will not lose any of your candidates associated with the job. You can always re-post a job if it is taken offline (for instance, if your subscription is terminated temporarily)., because we save all of your account content for future use. Just click "Re-post job" button below the job title on the Jobs page.
After a job is closed, you can archive it by clicking the "Archive job" button below the job title on the Jobs page. When you archive a job it is removed from your job list, but not deleted. Also, the candidates associated with this job will not be altered. If the job is archived but has not received any candidates, you have the option of deleting it using the "Permanenty delete job" button.
You can un-archive a previously archived job by choosing "Archived Jobs" from the Filter Results button at the top-left of the Jobs page. From All Jobs dropdown select Archived Jobs. Then select the checkbox next to the job(s) that you would like to unarchive. Once you’ve selected the jobs a pop up should appear, select un-archive jobs. Now this job will appear in the list with your other closed jobs.
Yes, but similar to the "Recycle Bin" on your PC, this a two step process. First, you have to Archive the job. Then hover over the job, you will see a series of buttons. Click the "Delete" button (it looks like a trash can) below the job title within your archived jobs list. Note: you can only delete jobs that have NOT received any candidates. This is to avoid accidentally deleting candidates that you still might want to access. Deleting jobs cannot be undone, so use this feature with caution.
Account Owners have the ability to assign tiered access to the users on their account. You may be a restricted user with access to only your own job ads. You also may have the “show only my job ads” checkbox selected on the Jobs page.
It’s a quick fix to refresh your job postings, just close the job and select the "Duplicate job" button. This copies the content of your job but gives it a fresh date. You can then post your duplicate job and it is sent off to our job board partners as a new posting
If you need to post an additional job but have already filled all of your job slots, then you will need to upgrade to the next available plan size. If you’re not interested in upgrading, you can close one of your active jobs to make that job slot available. Once you have an available job slot, you will be able to post your new job opportunity.
You can review all our job posting guidelines.
Job slots represent the number of jobs you can have live on the job boards at any given time. For example, if you are on a ZipRecruiter plan with 3 job slots, you can post 3 jobs today and replace them with 3 different jobs tomorrow without needing any more slots. You can freely swap jobs in and out of these slots by closing and posting jobs as needed. If you need additional job slots just select a higher plan on the Select Plan page.
All postings on ZipRecruiter require to be specific to a city or zipcode. Although a specific city/zipcode is required your ad is searchable nationwide.
We encourage employers to make their job ads clear and concise. You can easily organize your position’s responsibilities and requirements with bullet points, numbered lists, and other formatting tools we have available. It can be helpful to add benefits, salary range, and perks to make your job more appealing, but it is important to stay on message. Job descriptions that are too extensive and detailed can result in unqualified candidates because requirements can be easily overlooked. On the other hand, jobs that are too ambiguous and vague can discourage candidates from applying because there’s not enough information about the position.
Your ads are open indefinitely, and will not be taken down till you close them or cancel your subscription. If you notice traffic to your ads is decreasing I it's a quick fix to refresh your job postings, just close the job and select the "Duplicate Job" button. This copies the content of your job but gives it a fresh date. You can then post your duplicate job and it is sent off to our job board partners as a new posting. We recommend doing this, at most, once a month and only if you notice a decrease in traffic.
The name of your company does not have to be displayed but you cannot have the hiring company listed as Confidential, Undisclosed, Anonymous, etc. It’s best to change the hiring company name to something along the lines of your industry. For example Doctor’s Office, Law Firm, Major Manufacturer still explain the nature of your business, but do not directly disclose your identity.
Hover over Settings in the left hand navigation. A pop up box will appear. Select Hiring Companies. On the top right hand corner of the page you’ll see a green add company button, click it. Enter the information and save company.
A new job posting will usually take about 24 hours to appear on our job board partners, so you should start to see some activity on your job the day after it is posted. If it's been over 24 hours and you have yet to see any activity, feel free to give the Customer Success Team a call. We'd love to take a look at your account and help you optimize your job for the best possible results.
Select the category that best fits your job, and if your job happens to fall into more than one, don’t worry. The category you select is not as important as your job’s title and description, so your choice will not harm your job’s performance. It’s best to remain simple and straightforward with title and description so your job is easily found by interested, qualified candidates. Keywords in the job title as well as the job description help yield your job in a job seeker’s search results, so it is important both are in line with the position you are hiring for. Ask yourself: "If I was looking for a position like this, what terms would I search?".
Job performance is based on a lot of factors and varies depending on industry and location. We encourage clear and concise job descriptions and titles. If you’d like to drive more candidates to your position a TrafficBoost will help get you results fast. A single TrafficBoost credit can drive up to 100 additional visitors to your ad. If you apply a TrafficBoost to a job, it is then included in job alert emails to job seekers in your area. Your job is only sent to job seekers that have alerts relevant to your position, so it is a great way to reach local candidates who are interested in jobs like yours.
If your job is in a smaller city or town, posting your job in the largest neighboring city is a great way to get more exposure. If you have available job slots you can post your job multiple times in nearby cities to reach a larger pool of candidates. If you do so, make sure that the cities are at least 25 miles apart from each other. If jobs are identical and too close in proximity, they are viewed as duplicates by our job board partners and will not be posted. If you don’t want to venture out that far, you can post the job again, just make sure you re-word the job description so your jobs read differently. See: “What should I include in my job description?” above for tips you can follow to help maximize your exposure.
We have a job performance team, dedicated to assisting our customers with their ads. It is a free service that we offer and has shown successful results in attracting more candidates. If you are interested in our assistance, please feel free to call us at 877-252-1062 or email us at Support@Ziprecruiter.com.
In order to avoid job seekers leaving your job page before applying, we recommend you remove any website URLs and/or contact info from your job ad. Giving job seekers these 'redirection options' can distract them from the simple application process which is set up automatically on your job page. In many cases, if a job seeker is redirected to a website to apply or given an email address to send their resume too, they can be lost in the process of leaving your job page and taking those extra steps to send their resume through.
Look at your job through “Job Seeker Glasses.” If you were on the job hunt, what keywords would you search in order to pull up this position? What would you be looking for in the title and job description that would draw you in to apply? What pertinent information would you want included? This is the best way to create a relatable job ad that job seekers will be attracted to!
It is best that you do not close the ad while TrafficBoosts are currently active. This will result in the loss of your sponsored purchase. You can edit and save the changes to your job ads at any time.
All of the updates you make in your ZipRecruiter job postings will automatically be updated on your site via the career page widget.

Every time someone applies to your job through ZipRecruiter you are sent a notification via email. The notification is sent to you as soon as a job seeker applies so you can stay updated on your candidates in real time. These emails include general information like a candidate’s name, email address, phone number, and their resume is included as an attachment. Their complete application is saved inside your ZipRecruiter account for you reference when you log on.
No! Every plan we offer allows an unlimited number of candidates to apply to each job.
Having your contact information listed is not necessary since we send you New Candidate Alert emails as job seekers apply. ZipRecruiter does not display any of your contact information unless you explicitly state it in your job title, description, or hiring company information. We strongly advise against adding your contact information to your job because it is a public ad and can be easily found using a basic search engine. This means you may be subject to spam and bombarding phone calls or emails if your contact information is displayed. Also, job seekers can be contacting you directly and circumventing the application process on ZipRecruiter, so the amount of candidates displayed on your job may not be accurate.
Our Custom Apply URL feature will direct candidates straight to your online application when they hit the "Apply" button. Although there is an option to input a Custom Apply URL, we suggest you give it a try after your trial. Some of our job board partners do not accept jobs with a Custom Apply URL, and we wouldn’t want it to negatively affect your traffic.
We cannot prevent anyone from applying to your job, but you can add screening questions to help filter out unqualified candidates. These questions will appear to job seekers as they go through the application process, and their answers are displayed for you when reviewing their candidate page. You can even make certain questions deal breaker questions. This means if a candidate answers a questions incorrectly, they are automatically hidden from your list of candidates. They are still saved in your account for you to reference if you’d like, but they are not included in your general candidate pool. To add screening questions, click on the title of the job, and then select the "Add Screening Questions" tab. If you’d like to make a question a deal-breaker select the "Deal-Breaker Question" box underneath your answers.
Yes, you can go to Jobs and for each job that has more than 1 candidate, click on the "Send email to candidates" icon. From here, you can select one, some, or all of your candidates to email. Create your own email or use our templates for rejection letters, interview requests, and more. You can also click into a candidate’s profile -> Actions -> Email Candidate to start with a specific candidate.
Yes. You have 2 options. An automated reply for each candidate when they apply to any job at the hiring company or a manual bulk email. To set up the automated email click on Settings tab in the top-right navigation. Select Hiring Company and then Auto-Reply Email from the Actions menu for the company in question. You can then add an additional message along with the standard ZipRecruiter confirmation email. If you wish to have candidates reply to this confirmation email, please be sure to include a valid email address for them to respond to. If you’d like to manually email candidates for a specific job click on my jobs in the left hand navigation. Click on the number of candidates for the specific job. This will take you to the Candidates page. You can then select which candidates you’d like to email by checking the box next to their name and choosing Email Candidate from the pop out menu. Compose and send your message.
A new job posting can take up to 24 hours to appear on outside job boards after you have posted. If you still haven’t received any candidates after this time period, please make sure your phone number and/or email address are NOT in the job description. This is because many candidates will call or email you directly rather than applying through ZipRecruiter. We distribute your job and provide the best advice we can about writing quality job titles and descriptions, but we can’t guarantee applicants. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Success team at 877-252-1062 or support@ziprecruiter.com for feedback on your job ad or ask us other related questions.
You have the ability to send an automated message to candidates that they receive at the completion of the application process. You can do so through the “Custom Auto-Reply Email” feature. This is a message from ZipRecruiter to your candidate, but you are able to add a personalized message to the email we send. To set up these automated emails go the “Settings” tab on the left side of your screen and select "Hiring Companoes" then choose “Custom Auto-Reply Email” from the Actions for the company in question.
You have the ability within your account to add screening questions to your ZipRecruiter application process. This is a great way to get an idea if a candidate is a good fit right off the bat! To add screening questions, simply go to Jobs and click on the job you want to add them to. You'll see an option on the next page to 'Add Screening Questions.' Once you've clicked on that, just follow the prompts! If you'd like to auto-hide new candidates who answer this question incorrectly, feel free to click the 'Deal-Breaker' box on your screening question. Keep in mind these auto-hidden candidates will still visible under 'Candidates' then 'Hidden.'
First check your user settings to see if you are selected to receive the candidates, how often (as they happen or daily digest) and to what email address. If you have the desired settings, next check your spam/junk folder. You should also have your email provider whitelist support@ziprecruiter.com and sendgrid.ziprecruiter.com.
We track the number of visitors to your job pages hosted on ziprecruiter.com as well as the number of people who click the "Apply" button (if the job uses a custom apply URL to your ATS). In both cases, we use web browser cookies to avoid counting the same user multiple times.
Incomplete simply means the candidate did not complete all of the screening questions you added to your job ad. If you are interested in the candidates responses you can always email the candidate directly and request they complete the screening questions. They can access the questions by clicking on the Applied Jobs tab from within their account.
In an effort to make ZipRecruiter even easier to use we introduced the Quick Rate system. With Quick Rate hiring managers have a consistent and more intuitive rating system to compare candidates.
If you’d like access to previously rated candidates, please reach out to our Customer Success Team at 877-252-1062 or support@ziprecruiter.com to request to show star ratings. This will show star ratings on the individual candidates pages.
The notes are only visible to you or any users that are on your account. Candidates can never see these notes.
Ratings are used to organize your candidates based on your interest level: "not interested," "unsure" or "interested." You also have the ability to quickly rate one candidate after another, using the QuickRate tool accessible from your Dashboard, Candidates page, and Jobs page.
Rate a candidate as "Not Interested" to automatically hide that candidate, and all similar candidates going forward. You may always change this auto-hide setting within "Options" in "Settings". You can also click into each candidate profile and "Hide Candidate" from the "Rating" section.
This is the total elapsed time it took that candidate to complete all your screening questions. This gives you a way to compare candidates relative to each other.
Click Users from the upper right hand navigation. There you can enter the name and email address of the colleague you would like to invite. Once you add the user, we will send them an invitation email. Then, they click on the link in the email and create their password. Once they are set up, they can access all of the candidates. You can share internal notes on the candidate and edit their status on the Candidate Detail page.
Emailing a candidate from within the ZipRecruiter system will list the logged-in user’s email address for replies and that email address will be visible to the candidate. If you do not wish to show your email address, click on the option "Block replies from candidates" at the bottom of your email before sending. Once clicked, the candidate will not be able to see your email address or reply directly to you.
When you email a candidate from within ZipRecruiter, there is no copy or transcript saved automatically. If you wish to receive this, you'll need to check the box that says: 'Send myself a copy of this email.' You will then be sent an email which has the same content as the email we sent to the candidate.
Yes, you can manually add candidates to any job posting you have created. You can include their personal information and resume and any user on your account can edit or delete them at any time. Add a candidate now.
There is no way to completely delete a candidate from the system. But you can hide a candidate from your candidate list by clicking the Hide candidate link from the job seekers page. If you thumbs down a candidate, they will also be auto-hidden. To manage this setting, go to the Options page. This simply hides the candidates you no longer need to review. They can be found in the Hidden folder in your account.
Labels are like tags that you add to candidates to make them easier to find later. You can add labels to a candidate with phrases like "call back" or "potential interview." Later, if you filter by that label, you can see all the candidates that have been labeled that way. Labels are shared across your company’s ZipRecruiter account but are never visible to candidates.
Yes, on an individual candidate page you can remove any currently-applied labels by clicking the small "X" icon inside the orange label. Once you have deleted the label from the last candidate, the label itself will be deleted.
It will depend on the user restrictions your Account Owner has assigned to the users. You can select which users on your account should have the ability to view candidates and corresponding labels.
This is currently not an available feature. ZipRecruiter is continuously updating, please stay tuned as new features are developed.
ZipResumes are taken from a candidate’s original resume and reformatted for readability and consistency. It makes scanning lots of resumes a much more efficient process. However, the original resume is always available for viewing and download.
Candidates are not contacting you unless you put your contact information in the job description. When candidates apply to your job we send you a notification email with their information and their resume is included as an attachment. All of their information is also saved in your account for you to reference once logged in.
Job performance is based on a lot of factors and varies depending on industry and location. We encourage clear and concise job descriptions and titles. If you’d like to drive more candidates to your position a TrafficBoost is a great option. It highlights your ad in targeted emails we send to job seekers. You can also call our Customer Success Team for a free Job Ad Consultation.
If you notice your candidate flow has slowed down, it may be time refresh your postings. It’s a quick fix to refresh your job postings, just close the job and select the "Duplicate Job" button.

Yes, the number of users varies depending on your current plan. You can review the number of users on your account by clicking on Users from the upper right hand navigation.

Yes, when you add a new user or edit an existing user, you will see a section called "Access Settings." Uncheck the account settings you do NOT want that user to be able to access.
An "Account Owner" is anyone that has full access to all account features. If any of the access settings are unchecked, they are a "Restricted User."
To remove a user from your account, click on "Users" within "Settings" from the upper right hand navigation. You will see a list of all users on your account.

ZipRecruiter allows you to create different "Hiring Companies" associated with your job postings (additional charges apply). This gives you the power to post jobs for multiple employers under the same ZipRecruiter account. Each Hiring Company has unique settings for company name, company description, logo, website and more. Each Hiring Company also has a unique page listing all the open jobs for that Hiring Company. To manage your Hiring Companies, go to the Settings -> Hiring Companies page.
Adding a logo to the header of your job ad displays professionalism. This can be done under 'Settings' then 'Hiring Companies' then 'edit'. To add a logo to your company, go to the Hiring Companies page. Select the Hiring Company you would like to edit, then click the "Browse..." button next to the Company Logo field. Next, select the logo file on your computer (GIF, JPG or PNG are the recommended file format choices, and sizes of 100px or less in either direction are best). Once you save, this will change the displayed company logo on all of your jobs and company jobs page for this Hiring Company. You can always upload another logo or delete it at any time by clicking "Delete current logo" link.
In addition to the unlimited candidates you can collect for your own posted jobs, you can also search our database of resumes to help find the perfect fit! The resume database contains resumes of job-seekers that are currently active and have elected to share their resumes with hiring managers.
First things first...don’t worry, we do NOT limit the number of candidates you can receive on your posted jobs, nor do we limit the number of times you can view and download their resumes. However, ZipRecruiter has its own resume database that you can search to find even more candidates. Each ZipRecruiter plan comes with a set number of ’resume database views’ per month. For example, if your plan has 25 resume database views, you can access 25 new resumes every month. Once you have viewed a resume it will show up in your My Viewed Resumes page for you to access and download as often as you’d like.
ZipRecruiter never limits the number of people who can apply to your job(s). We also never limit you from viewing any resumes that candidates submit to you. However, if you wish to proactively search and extract resumes out of our Resume Database, the number of resumes you may view in full will be limited to a specific number per month. (This number may be selected by you when you sign up for a ZipRecruiter plan.)
Yes. Employers must be subscribed to ZipRecruiter to access the resume database.
No, inclusion in the resume database is completely free for job-seekers. They may opt in or out at any time.
If you cannot view a resume in your web browser we recommend refreshing the page after a few moments. If you still cannot view the resume let us know. As a fallback, you can always download the resume file to your desktop using the link on the resume page.
ZipRecruiter never limits the number of candidates you receive. You can review all of the resumes that are submitted to your job posting from inside your account under the "Candidates" tab.The number of resumes you are referring to is the number of resumes you can download a month from our Resume Database. The Resume Database allows you to search an unlimited amount of resumes from eager job seekers. You can preview the content of an unlimited amount of resumes in the database, but we do limit the amount of job seekers you can contact. The 25 is how many times you can view the contact information for the resumes you are previewing.
ZipRecruiter is your one stop shop for posting a job. You post your job through us and we send your job to 100+ of the most visited job boards, websites and social networks on the Internet. This kind of exposure helps drive candidates to your position to fulfill your hiring needs fast.
