Q&A With ZipRecruiter Employees

Some members of the HR team are more knowledgeable than others, and will get back to you quicker. If you are attempting to join the HR team, I would be very wary of who you report to as the HR team, in particular, is not great with promoting based on merit. Management is lukewarm and all over the place.

Competent, talented, made up of different personality types. You'll usually get quick responses to inquiries.

The empower the heck out of me.

Absolutely... the company has a solid work life balance. We're are extremely productive during our core hours, so we can keep time available for personal endeavors. It also helps that the company is doing so well :)

Super smart, easy to work with, and has a lot of autonomy.

They are very experienced. I'm always learning new things. And they're great to have lunch with.

Unlimited PTO.

Everyone I've worked under has been wonderfully nurturing

I've personally seen them handle issues pretty well, and take action wherever its immediately needed.

I get to work with incredibly smart people, and learn new things all the time simply by being the dumbest person in a room.

Drinking. ...but really everyone here has some kind of side gig or passion project as an actor, musician, or other artistic pursuit.

Our dental program was a little weird for a while...you basically paid out of pocket and then submitted your bill for reimbursement.

Everlasting free food, but the medical benefits are pretty solid too.

Don't have much to compare it to, but I'd say it's good.

that it'd be the best place I ever worked for

Confidence without arrogance, taking constructive feedback without interpreting it as criticism, curiosity, and not being afraid to test things out yourself. Also it's VERY important to not just gripe about problems without being able to propose a solution for them. Complaints are a dime a dozen and you'll get written off pretty quick if you're not framing them as constructive opportunities for improvement.

Really depends on what you're applying to.

about a week, usually

General approval, the CEO is approachable and generally wants to meet new employees.

Great! Most employees exemplify the company culture and it’s very organic.

Prep for your typical interview questions and make sure you can account for any gaps in your resume. Be professional, dress business casual, thank your interviewer on the way in and on the way out. Be respectful of everyone’s time. Do your research on the company and HR tech industry.

Great! Very efficient and I got along with my interviewers. They really try to maintain a standard interview process.

Pretty secure. Leadership is transparent about my performance, and the revenue only continues to grow.

Have a great resume that is results-driven, apply via the ZipRecruiter platform, and get an employee referral.

I would say this depends on the team. I've been able to schedule one-on-ones with my manager to receive feedback in less than a week. I can also easily pull my manager aside for a second and ask for feedback directly, so on my team the feedback process is quick and straightforward.

Results-driven, humble, genuine people who are good at their jobs and have a vested interest in HR tech (or willingness to learn). Friendly people who ask smart questions.
