    CareerBuilder
    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    We were sold on CareerBuilder's "exclusive" contract with Google, and the ease of linking our website marketing to the platform. We googled our CareerBuilder job posting, to find them 5 pages deep. When we questioned these results with our account manager, he had no response. …

    ZipRecruiter is far superior to CareerBuilder.com in every way. We were placing applicants in jobs within days of signing with ZR.

    Careerbuilder comes in last place on my list with ZipRecruiter and Monster and LinkedIn in top place

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder.com was one of the first employment advertising that our company has used and we have been using it for about 7 years. Since then, we have tried other employment advertising (Monster.com, Indeed.com, LinkedIn, RecruitMilitary, and ZipRecruiter) and we have …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    WizeHire is one of the most amazing systems I've ever seen. I've continued to share their information with many, and my hope is that they take the hiring world by storm! It's easy to use, they obtain great candidates and many. They're very responsive and always there to help. …

    CareerBuilder did not meet our needs because of this we stopped using them. We have found Indeed to be the best hiring platform out there, and we have looked at ALL OF THEM. We spent money that did not turn in to new hires, so it was a waste. It appeared like CareerBuilder …

    Chose CareerBuilder.com
    CareerBuilder.com's resume database functions just like any other job board. I believe the market is shifting away from job boards. What sets it apart is its stellar data tools.

    Chose ZipRecruiter
    ZipRecruiter falls after LinkedIn and Indeed. I think their candidate quality, filtering, and overall ease of use are better than recruiters' platforms.

    Chose ZipRecruiter
    ZipRecruiter is inferior when it comes to comparing it to Indeed. I use both because I want more platforms to advertise my job. However, I find myself obtaining more applicants from Indeed over ZipRecruiter. I don't count ZipRecruiter out, though, because every once in a while, …

    Chose ZipRecruiter
    ZipRecruiter is cheaper than CareerBuilder but more expensive than Indeed.com and LinkedIn Jobs. I only use the free feature of Indeed since Indeed.com's pay per click model did not work for our company and was the most expensive option. I feel that out of all 4, LinkedIn is …

    In the position I am in now, with the company size, ZR has by far provided the best results for the cost.

    I also use Indeed which is the nations leading job site with millions of job listings and millions of applicants. Applicants can upload their resumes or make a resume on Indeed and then apply to any position for free. As an applicant seeking employer, I can filter through …
