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 Ministry of Justice, Vodacom Group, DICE FM, Danone, and the Civil Aviation Authority have used the platform.

Companies in the U.K. should consider using ZipRecruiter for its reach, both local and international, and its candidate matching features. It is also more affordable than local sites, such as Reed.co.uk and Totaljobs. Additionally, ZipRecruiter enjoys a very high rating on review sites.

  • The platform is more affordable than Reed.co.uk and Totaljobs.

  • Access to the resume database is granted with the Premium Plan only.
  • ZipRecruiter is more expensive than CV-Library.

ZipRecruiter vs. Reed.co.uk:

With its new customer plan, Reed.co.uk is more affordable than ZipRecruiter. However, it does charge more than ZipRecruiter thereafter. That said, Reed.co.uk is one of the U.K.'s most popular job sites, receiving over 50,000 new candidate registrations per week. ZipRecruiter is the better option for reaching a global audience.

ZipRecruiter vs. Totaljobs:

Totaljobs is more affordable than ZipRecruiter on your first job post but is more costly afterward. While ZipRecruiter is a great option for hiring both locally and internationally, Totaljobs is a leading U.K. site that attracts millions of local job seekers.

CV-Library has been around a long time and is well-established and trusted locally. It attracts millions of job seekers and offers access to millions of resumes. While CV-Library is more affordable than ZipRecruiter, the latter offers candidate matching, basic screening, and a global reach.
