ZipRecruiter was founded in 2010 by Ian Siegel, [15] Joe Edmonds, Ward Poulos and Will Redd. [16] [17]

In June 2015, as the company began growing, they opened an R&D center in Israel and in 2018, claimed to have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm to increase the accuracy of job seeker/employer matches. [18] [19] [4]

In 2017, Facebook also partnered with the company and integrated ZipRecruiter into its platform. [20] [21]

In 2018, the company reported that over 1.5 million businesses and 430 million job seekers used its platform. [22]

In May 2023, ZipRecruiter announced it laying off 20% of its staff, about 270 roles. [29]

ZipRecruiter delayed raising venture capital until 2014, when the company's first round of financing of $63 million was led by IVP. [30]

In October 2018, the company raised $156 million for its online employment marketplace, which brought its total funding to $219 million.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in hiring involves the use of technology to automate aspects of the hiring process. Advances in artificial intelligence, such as the advent of machine learning and the growth of big data, enable AI to be utilized to recruit, screen, and predict the success of applicants. Proponents of artificial intelligence in hiring claim it reduces bias, assists with finding qualified candidates, and frees up human resource workers' time for other tasks, while opponents worry that AI perpetuates inequalities in the workplace and will eliminate jobs. Despite the potential benefits, the ethical implications of AI in hiring remain a subject of debate, with concerns about algorithmic transparency, accountability, and the need for ongoing oversight to ensure fair and unbiased decision-making throughout the recruitment process.
