The global pandemic upended the world in countless ways, but one of the least anticipated side effects was the massive number of workers who quit the workforce. Dubbed “The Great Resignation,” 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August alone, leaving hiring managers scrambling to find good candidates.
Posting new positions, promoting them on social media and job boards, reviewing resumes daily, and interviewing potential employees can be a long, labor-intensive process. We had heard that ZipRecruiter makes finding and hiring qualified candidates easier, so we tested the platform to see if it lives up to the “#1 hiring site in the United States” ranking proudly displayed on its website.
Here’s what we found when we used ZipRecruiter to help fill an open position:
The sign up/ account creation process is fairly quick, and ZipRecruiter’s intuitive software really does include several time-saving features, starting with customizable templates that make writing new job descriptions simple. Typically, hiring managers have to devote a lot of time to posting job openings on multiple job boards. But with ZipRecruiter, our new opening got sent out to more than 100 of the best job search sites instantly, maximizing the post’s visibility.
The next great thing was that instead of having to manually sift through countless resumes, ZipRecruiter’s powerful matching technology saved us tons of time by scanning thousands of applications to find strong candidates based on the skills, education and experience we were looking for.
There’s also a really cool “Invite to Apply” feature that surfaced multiple candidates who were a good fit but may not have seen the listing. We were able to review detailed information about each of them and then directly invite our top choices to apply by sending a pre-written, personal message that included details on the opportunity. We found this to be an effective, innovative way to expand our applicant pool.
ZipRecruiter’s dashboard helped keep us organized and allowed us to sort, review and rate all in one place. The system even learned from our rankings and sent through additional applicants similar to the ones we previously liked! We received quality candidates within the first 24 hours, and were really pleased with the overall experience. ZipRecruiter was an excellent addition to our internal talent pool and existing candidate database.
Also worth noting: ZipRecruiter is widely considered one of the best recruiting platforms out there, but job seekers love it too. Those in the market for a new position can quickly search open roles by job title, category, company, location or — a question that’s becoming increasingly popular — whether positions are on-site or remote. We found their popularity with job seekers to be invaluable in filling our open position.
