ZippyApp Reviews

Pros

In my case, I was searching for a job, and I found this site to be comprehensive and highly functional. In fact, I successfully secured a job through it, and I am extremely satisfied.

Cons

In my experience, I can only offer compliments. I found the software to be comprehensive and well-rounded.

Pros

This software feels really fast and it packs a lot of features and functionality. Sharing control with other people is also easy, you just add their email address and they can be granted access without jumping through hoops.

Cons

Organization is a bit of a headache. There's no way to create tags or folders and email notifications can be frustrating because messages sometimes show up more than once.

Pros

Zippy app handles our job-posting needs across all the major job boards so there's no need to bounce around to different sites. You can build your own job descriptions and even add details about your business.. like a business photo, plus a video and a short description or history. It's been really handy for getting the right info out without extra hassle.

Cons

There are moments right after someone enrolls where login doesn't work properly. I've had to call customer service a few times to get assistance when that happens.

Pros

Really solid first landing page. The process of favoriting a candidate is easy and adding notes alongside the profile feels useful. The photo section plus the cover letter and resume viewing features are especially helpful.

Cons

What's missing for me is deeper candidate interaction right from the platform... that is, being able to quickly email each candidate to move them through steps like sending a few pre-assessment questions, setting up a phone screen, booking the interview and even extending an offer would make the workflow feel more complete. It would also help to categorize or add labels to candidates as they move through the vetting stages.

Pros

It has a ton of customizable features and it's simple to design everything to match your brand's unique style. It basically acts as an all-in-one solution, letting you market jobs, handle onboarding and store HR records in one place. Overall, it feels like a strong, complete site for managing those workflows.

Cons

A limitation is that some features are only available for access and editing through the Zippy App. It would be better if you could edit certain items directly.. like your profile and onboarding forms, without needing to go through the software.

Pros

The layout is really well done. It feels easy to use and it makes organizing applicants much more manageable. I'm especially happy that I can click things like "contact" or "Hired," then filter the list so I only see the people I'm trying to work through. That's been a huge help when I'm ready to do phone screens since it narrows everything down to the applicants I marked as wanting to reach out.

Cons

One annoying catch is that my "notes" don't show up when I print out an application. Because of that, I have to manually rewrite everything with pen and paper onto the application before I start interviewing.

Pros

An applicant can use this as a true one-stop shop to submit their resume and include any extra details the recruiting team needs. It keeps everything in one place and makes the application process feel much more organized. Makes things so much easier for us

Cons

Super annoying thing is that you receive duplicate emails for the same applicant every day. Also, a lot of the messages seem to come through over the weekend and I'm not sure whether the timing can be adjusted or configured to prevent that.

Pros

Feels quick and simple to use and I really like that I can grant access to other people using their own email addresses instead of sharing mine. The workflow is easy and it's been a big help for keeping things organized.

Cons

Something I'd change is the ability to place apps into different folders. Having that would make it much faster to locate the specific certificate apps we use most often.

Pros

It feels really user-friendly. Adding current team members is easy and it keeps everyone's employee information in one place instead of scattered across different tools.

Cons

On occasion some team members run into sign-in issues and then their passwords need to be updated for them to get access again.

Pros

Really enjoyed how usable the platform feels. We've managed to cut out almost all the paper applications in our office and the only remaining step is final onboarding which we're planning to handle soon using this tool. It's also made a noticeable difference to our employment brand, candidates seem to get a much better first impression.

Cons

Integration could be improved if and when we build our own website. Right now, it feels like users have to leave our site to go over to Zippy and I'd prefer a more transparent setup where the application experience is housed within our own site.

Pros

Interface feels really easy which makes the whole workflow a lot less frustrating. Building the page with the company information is a standout feature too, it's a nice way to give applicants context right away without needing extra steps.

Cons

It would be even better if the resume file were actually attached to the notification email. Also, adding a setting to prevent emails from being sent when a duplicate or triplicate email gets triggered would help cut down on unnecessary notifications.
