If I could give them a zero, I would. In my experience, CareerBuilder.com literally took thousands of my hard-earned dollars ($5K) for NOTHING in return! You would think that since CareerBuilder.com could literally see that it was not producing the results promised, it would have considered releasing me from the contract or lowering the cost, in my opinion, but CareerBuilder.com made sure they collected every penny from me with zero consideration for customer satisfaction and failed to deliver the applicants. That told me everything I needed to know about CareerBuilder.com and how they really feel about customers. In my opinion, CareerBuilder.com primary focus is to get customers on the hook with a contract to legally guarantee they receive their money from you, but they can care less about the results their platform produces or customer satisfaction, “they just want your money”! I firmly believe CareerBuilder.com knows that their product does not work, hence the reason for the 1 yr contract is to basically guarantee company revenue for an entire year.
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
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.
Functionality can be more user-friendly for beginners.
More options to integrate with other platforms and Applicant Tracking Systems
Make it easier to create candidate lists, and send mass emails--while this feature is available, CareerBuilder.com does not make it easy for users to perform these tasks.
Add an option for the user to be notified when candidates in saved folders have removed their resume or are no longer available.
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.
CareerBuilder.com is average in terms of overall usability. I am able to post my positions and figure the site out. However, finding out how many additional options you are is not something easily accessible. If you don't know where to look, you may not be able to find or know how many "boosts" you have to use for the month.
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.
I have had a positive experience with CareerBuilder's support. When the platform has been updated throughout the years, CareerBuilder's account managers have always provided our team with helpful live tutorials and demonstrations to help familiarize our users with new and upcoming features, as well as older features that will no longer be offered. Support team makes themselves available on an ongoing basis.
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
I do not think that CareerBuilder.com is a very good job posting site. It does not provide you with quality applicants like some other products I have used. Not only does it provide a low number of candidates, the ones we do get to tend to be repeat applicants or are not qualified at all.
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.
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.
