Meet JobInventory Contributor ZipRecruiter

Today we’ll be interviewing long -time JobInventory Contributor ZipRecruiter.

ZipRecruiter is a very significant and highly successful jobs website whose stated goal is to “make hiring faster, easier, and cheaper“. They achieve this goal by simplifying the process for both the job seeker and the employer. With ZipRecruiter, employers can find quality candidates by posting a job to 50+ leading job boards  (including, of course,  JobInventory) as well as most  social networks with a single click.  Given their broad reach, it is no wonder that ZipRecruiter can now boast that more than 250,000 companies have received more than 15 million candidates via the ZipRecruiter website.

To really understand the ZipRecruiter philosophy you can probably just best refer to their four guiding principals:

• SIMPLICITY  – Simplifying complicated experiences is at their core. They create a stress-free, easy-to-use, and simplified process for the job seeker and the employer.
• DELIGHT  – Delighting customers and partners is their passion. They strive to exceed the expectations of those who work with them. Surprising customers with unexpected excellence is not an “every once in a while” thing, but a daily habit.
• SATISFACTION  – Satisfaction is guaranteed, period. This applies to both customers and employees
• INTEGRITY  – Earning and keeping  trust is the most important thing. Doing the right thing is not just a priority but a necessity.

For all of the above reasons JobInventory is very proud of their long time partnership with ZipRecruiter and is pleased to count Zip Recruiter as one of the largest Contributors to the JobInventory Index.
