  1. [R4] Snagajob 1/5 · US Terrible app: How are y’all gonna posts jobs that quite literally don’t exist? People out here struggling and all y’all care about is getting traffic, and pushing jobs people either payed to have on the list, or that flat out aren’t even a thing anymore. If I could rate below one star I would. I don’t know why I keep trying these apps. I’ve NEVER got so much as an email back from any employer I’ve
  2. [R20] Snagajob 1/5 · US Terrible app with fake job descriptions: So I have been using indeed for 4 years and I am actually able to get a job quicker than snagajob because with all of my time using snagajob since 2023 it’s just been fake job postings on there and with nothing refreshed, I highly recommend you don’t use this app EVER AGAIN.

  14. [R22] Snagajob 1/5 · US Horrible: What’s the point of this app if it doesn’t registers Answers to required questions, preventing people from completing applications. Shut down the app, it’s a joke at this point. I’ll stick with Indeed

  16. [R63] ZipRecruiter Job Search 3/5 · US Please Add SMS Verification: Overall, the app has been good, but I would like to suggest adding an alternative account recovery option. My brother lost access to the email linked to his account after Google disabled it, and because email is the only way to verify his identity, he can no longer access his ZipRecruiter account. His phone number is already connected to the account, so it would be ver
  17. [R91] ZipRecruiter Job Search 1/5 · US Least favorite job board: Horrible at parsing resumes. This app is the least easy to use of all. I find many more interviews through indeed. It makes it difficult to send tailored resumes to each job. 1 tap apply is not helpful. The app is unresponsive and freezes often. The suggestions I receive via email are not relevant and not anywhere near the perimeters I’ve set in search. Not a good product
