OT: Has anyone used ZipRecruiter?
- Thread starter aTotal360

The company I work for uses ZipRecruiter and we seem to get a good number of applications. I'm the administrator at a healthcare facility and we run through a lot of nursing staff coming and going, so it helps out.
The last company I worked for used CareerBuilder with varying results depending on the position.

I use LinkedIn recruiter and also careerbuilder pro database to search resumes. I prefer these because the majority you find on these sites are passive, which ultimately are the best candidates. It really depends what industry and what position you are hiring for.
I think the most important factor to look at is why you aren't hiring the right people. It sounds like you liked them enough to hire them in the first place. Is it all performance related?

Have you thought about using Sixpackspeak as an employee recruiting tool? Lots of great people on here and depending on the job type and pay, you may find some people on here looking to make a change.
Just a thought.

What line of work, man?
Hiring and firing the ones you hired in a 12mo time span is fishy.
What's going on there? Good BSers in interviews or what?
Maybe you're a dick to work for***

Not to start a firestorm here, but I sorta need to rely on millennials. And it's tough. I'm in social media marketing. I'm paying kids $35-45k for about 25-30 hrs of work a week. 2 of the "kids" I've hired couldn't make it into the office before 10am. Another one simply didn't meet deadlines. Another one didn't listen and refused to create a 6 page ppt presentation the way I needed it. And by the way, all these kids seemed to be good kids. They just have no idea how to "take your lunch pale to work". Typical snowflakes.
The other 2 were administrative assistants. One didn't tell us our flights got moved to an earlier time and we missed the plane to our visit with our biggest client. Another stole from us.
Honestly, we are probably going to use to agency after Jan 1.

A good admin assistant is pretty easy to find. You can tell if they're worth a crap just by where they've worked. If they're hesitant to give the name of their last boss, pretty safe to say they were canned and they're no good. I would look for a lifer. No degree, attn to detail, first priority is protecting their boss, etc. They are out there.
Have you reached out to local colleges or professional groups in the area? Recommendations are the best way to get someone who is solid. I wouldn't ever recommend someone unless I knew they were absolutely jam up. I wouldn't use an agency, if you only need a cpl of these positions hire two people (hourly) for a specified amount of time. Then just hire the star full time and tell the other person their assignment has ended. Say 3 month contract, at the 3 month mark, tell the turd you thank them for the work and wish them well. No liability.
Do you have an HR person who is making sure you're getting rid of these "kids" the right way? Even if they suck, fire a minority and replace them with a white guy and you could lose everything. Unless they're going through an agreed upon (signed) probationary period, I would audit your process.
If you need help getting a few resumes to look at let me know. I wouldn't mind spending a bit of time on a weekend to help an alum out.
I'm actually moving my business to on Jan 1 to be closer to a more talent rich environment (north ATL/Marietta-ish). We are hoping that helps. And yes, everyone we hire has a 60 day probationary period. We don't have an HR position yet. Our business is 5 people strong at the moment. 2 in sales, 2 in production, and 1 is doing the books/secretary.
Would love to know where you end up posting the position. I know a kid fresh out of college with a BS in Digital Media that would be a good fit. Kid has a great work ethic.
I'm gonna need you to keep as many of these snowflakes gainfully employed and paying taxes as you can. I plan to retire in a couple of years and need a lot of people paying taxes so I can depend on that check to show up every month and that gubment insurance card to be in the mailbox.
I used Ziprecruiter (trial) during my last hiring process. It generated a good number of responses and the interface is really pretty good.
If I was hiring people on a regular basis I could see it being a big benefit. For me I can't justify the high cost.
There's a free trial, should be enough to get some good responses and judge for yourself.
