ZipRecruiter® Job Search Services

Note: As a service to RF Cafe visitors, I will post your company's tech-related job openings at no cost. Only direct hiring companies' jobs are posted (i.e., no recruiters). If you are responsible for hiring in your company, send me an e-mail with the job listing information and I'll be glad to post it for you. The most recent list of jobs can be seen here.

ZipRecruiter logo - RF CafeZipRecruiter is a relative newcomer to the online job search world. It began in 2010 as a "kitchen table project" by the founders literally in the kitchen of co-founder Ian Siegel. I hear their radio ads frequently. You might have seen ZipRecruiter ads on TV, but I almost never watch TV. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) gives ZipRecruiter an A+ rating. If you scan through the user gripes, they appear to be mainly from hiring companies who did not read and/or adhere to the policy for cancellation of the service. Job seeker complaints tend to focus on dissatisfaction with hiring company practices, which you will find with any job posting service. For comparison, Monster Worldwide (not a BBB member) gets a D- rating, and CareerBuilder rates an A+. Having no personal experience with ZipRecruiter, I can neither endorse nor condemn them.

Amanda-Drury-ZipRecruiter - RF CafeMarketing Intern Amanda Drury sent me an e-mail asking for a promo on RF Cafe after finding some of my engineering career advice postings. A quick check of listings for engineers and technicians in my city of Erie, Pennsylvania, turned up a surprisingly large number of listings. Most of the technician postings are from temp service agencies, but many were also from direct hire companies. Even General Electric Transportation, which is all but dead here, has a couple job openings listed. ZipRecruiter advertises having more than 8 million jobs listed across the world at this time.

Companies seeking employees can learn how to work with ZipRecruiter to post jobs here, and job seekers can begin a job search here. Free apps are available for both Android and Apple phones.

This paraphrasing by Ian Siegel of a famous quote applies to many successful startups: "First, they ignore you. Then, they mock you. Then, they try to kill you. And then, they buy you."

Here is a list of current engineering jobs listed on RF Cafe.
