Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) vs. ZipRecruiter

In our market Dental Hygienists are extremely hard to find. We started using Indeed Sponsored Jobs for our hygienist positions and immediately received great response from quality candidates. Before we started using Indeed Sponsored Jobs for our hygiene positions we were in a drought. After using this program, we are hiring on average 2 hygienists per week.

ZipRecruiter is great for regular, full-time positions, especially the higher paying salaried positions. I would not recommend ZipRecruiter for the highest turnover positions that are mostly part time because of the price to post on ZipRecruiter. Let me mention, I am only posting hospitality facility positions

• Immediate response, that's what I need. I post the job, there is no waiting one day or two hours to respond to the candidates.
• Gives me better visibility, better ability to choose different candidates, I've tried sponsored jobs with deal-breakers and non-deal-breakers. Sometimes is best not to have a deal-breaker for certain jobs because I might pass on a candidate I wouldn't have thought to maybe take a look at.
• I've also used the instant match, I'm starting to get better at qualifying those candidates and I had a few applicants from that.

Incentivized

• ZipRecruiter is very easy to use, even for those who are not tech-savvy.
• The platform offers seamless options to mass-message out all candidates who have applied. This eliminates the time-consuming efforts to have to message out to each candidate.
• ZipRecruiter parses and connects well with our ATS platform, which makes it easy to track information as well and manage candidate profiles.

Incentivized

• It would be helpful if in the messages tab you could sort messages into folders and mark messages as unread once you have read them.
• Reposting an old closed job is difficult because it is no longer in the templates. If I go to my closed jobs it would be nice if it had an option to "reopen as a new job".

Incentivized

• Better electronic screening of applicants prior to allowing them to apply for a job (i.e. when licenses are required)
• When cancelling they require that you call them on the phone (you can't cancel online)
• I'd prefer that subscriptions were more targeted to my hiring needs

This is the #1 site where candidates go for a job in our industry. We continue to get the best results from this platform.

ZipRecruiter by far is the most comprehensive recruitment platform I have used. I have tried many other recruitment platforms and none were as comprehensive as ZipRecruiter. The hands-on assistance by the ZR staff was to notch. When we have an urgent need or just want to keep interest in employment at our campus, we turn to ZipRecruiter.

They continue to improve their platform. Although sometimes adding more functions can decrease usability, Indeed is very good at adding definitions and information in a very user-friendly way. You are truly able to customize your service and job ads in a way that benefits you and your company. You also have complete control over your ad and your budget

ZipRecruiter is very user-friendly and is extremely reliable when searching for new talent. There are numerous features to help you when you have questions about a posting or your profile. The filtering process is awesome and you have so many ways to find the right talent with the screening questions provided by ZipRecruiter.

pages load fine ... it's not easy to know where to go -- you have to know to click on this or that because it's not intuitive.

Our Indeed support team far exceeds the support I've received from any other recruitment platform. We have a dedicated account executive AND a client support specialist, both of whom go out of their way to assist with everything from making our job ads more effective to make the billing process more transparent. They are a rock star team that truly takes the stress out of recruiting!

Have not had to utilize support recently, but in past instances they have reached out within 12 hours to help rectify any problems or answer any questions about features and functionality. The only issue I ever had with them was trying to clarify, when they previously advertised that they posted on 200+ job boards, if that meant that your job would for sure be posted on each job board. Turns out, by the way, that they only guarantee distribution, not posting

Again, I came onboard after our company had conducted the implementation but from working closely with those that went through process I have heard it went very smoothly

onboarding process was very easy.

I've used Monster as it was linked to a product called Job Target, and I felt it was ok. It seemed larger and I didn't have the capability to input specific parameters for our jobs. It was more generalized and just didn't work as well for us.

ZipRecruiter is inferior when it comes to comparing it to Indeed. I use both because I want more platforms to advertise my job. However, I find myself obtaining more applicants from Indeed over ZipRecruiter. I don't count ZipRecruiter out, though, because every once in a while, you can find a gem in a haystack.

Incentivized

because they did not provide qualified candidates so they cannot be relied upon to do what they say they do

• We have only indeed connected to our ATS for less than six months, so tracking true ROI on time to hire is hard to dive into.
• The cost per hire has increased over the last couple of years due to how competitive it is for hourly employees across the industry.
• The quality of applicants is about the same. We find that Indeed can provide quantity for hourly positions not necessarily quality and we continue to struggle with candidates not showing up for interviews.

Incentivized

• The ROI we have gotten from using ZipRecruiter is huge, we use it for hiring sales people, and our sales are increased as a direct result of being able to hire great sales people through ZipRecruiter
• I like that we have everything we need for our hiring process all in one place. ZipRecruiter does a great job of offering us all of the tools we need on it's platform, which keeps us well organized.
• Because of ZipRecruiter, we have hired quality sales people, and it has directly lowered our turn-over rate with our employees.
