Review:

ZipRecruiter is a popular job board that attracts millions of job seekers every month and has a range of great features, such as a resume database and candidate matching. The Bank of Queensland, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Hyatt Regency, AIG, and Microsoft have used the platform to attract candidates living in Australia.

ZipRecruiter enjoys a very high rating on review sites. Companies in Australia should consider using ZipRecruiter for its reach, both local and international, and its candidate-matching features. However, employers can't post a job on ZipRecruiter directly. Instead, they'll have to schedule a consultation with a ZipRecruiter representative.

Pros:

  • Job posts are shared with over a hundred sites.
  • The platform has candidate-matching features.
  • ZipRecruiter reaches 6 million job seekers a month.
  • 24/7 Support is offered via phone, email, and live chat.
  • Screening questions can be added to job posts.
  • ZipRecruiter has high ratings on software review sites.

Cons:

  • Employers can't sign up and post jobs on the Australian site directly.
  • While employers can share their ZipRecruiter job posts on social media using their profiles, ZipRecruiter doesn't use its considerable social media following to share job posts.
  • Pricing is by quote only.
  • There is no free trial.
  • ZipRecruiter is more costly than Workforce Australia and Adzuna.
  • Workforce Australia, Adzuna, and SEEK are more convenient and have a better local reach.

Reputation:

ZipRecruiter has high ratings on software review sites. It has a 5.7 out of 10 on TrustRadius, 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot, and 4.6 out of 5 on Sitejabber, respectively. ZipRecruiter has a Better Business Bureau rating of A+.

Pricing:

There is no pricing information on ZipRecruiter's website. Call +61 180 059 2251 or send an email to support@ziprecruiter.com.au for a quote. Usually, pricing fluctuates depending on how many job posts you want, the duration of each post, how many resumes you want access to, and where you're located.

How to Post a Job on ZipRecruiter:

  1. Navigate to the ZipRecruiter home page and scroll down to the bottom. You will see "Sponsored Reach" in the table below "Partner with Us."
  2. Click on the green button that says "Request a Consultation."
  3. Fill in all the details required, including your name, email address, and recruitment volume. Then, click on "Request a Consultation."
  4. Alternatively, contact the Zip Team directly by sending an email to bizdevrequest@ziprecruiter.com or calling +61 1 8005 92251.

ZipRecruiter vs. Adzuna:

A job post on Adzuna is more affordable than ZipRecruiter and, because Adzuna has a regional office in Sydney and leverages local media, is likely to reach more local candidates. ZipRecruiter is less convenient because you can't post a job without a consultation. That said, ZipRecruiter stands out as the best option for reaching a global market.

ZipRecruiter vs. SEEK:

SEEK is Australia's number one job site, generating high volumes of traffic. ZipRecruiter has a better reputation on review sites and might be the better option for hiring globally, whereas SEEK is best for hiring locally.

ZipRecruiter vs. Workforce Australia:

Workforce Australia is free for employers and job searchers and is an excellent option for reaching a local audience. However, Workforce Australia has very few features. While it is more costly, ZipRecruiter has an international reach and comprehensive features. That said, employers can't post directly to ZipRecruiter's website.
