Getting a job in front of more candidates on ZipRecruiter just got a whole lot easier. You can now sponsor (and pause) ZipRecruiter job postings directly from the job's profile, with no need to log into ZipRecruiter separately or juggle two systems to manage your paid postings.
Why it's Worth it:
4 out of 5 customers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate within the first day.
On average, sponsored jobs receive nearly 8x more applicants than organic jobs
Where to Find It
Head to a Job Profile → Job Board tab → Paid tab. If a job is eligible for sponsorship, you'll see a new ZipRecruiter row. From there:
Not yet sponsored? Click Sponsor with ZipRecruiter to get started.
Already sponsored? The same row lets you pause sponsorship at any time.
One-Time Setup for New ZipRecruiter Users
The first time you sponsor a job, you may need to verify your email and submit a short, pre-filled form:
Full name
Phone number
Title (defaults to Recruiter)
Company name
Company zip code
Company website
Once submitted, you're set up to sponsor jobs going forward! The sponsor modal will even pre-select whichever job you were viewing when you started.
Permissions
ZipRecruiter sponsorship is controlled by a new set of permissions under Job Board Postings, available on all packages:
Permission | What it unlocks |
ZipRecruiter Sponsor Jobs | Sponsor a job on ZipRecruiter |
ZipRecruiter Unsponsor Jobs | Pause an active sponsorship |
ZipRecruiter View All Jobs | See jobs sponsored by other recruiters on your team, not just your own |
ZipRecruiter Manage Billing | Add a payment card directly when sponsoring |
If you don't have the permission needed for an action, you'll see a lock icon in place of the button.
A Few Things to Know
If a job isn't eligible for ZipRecruiter sponsorship, you'll see a disabled Job Not Sponsorable button instead.
If you have Manage Billing access, you can add a card right from the sponsor flow. If not, you'll see a prompt to contact your admin to get a card on file.
ZipRecruiter requires an email on file to generate your sponsorship token. If yours isn't set, you'll see an alert icon letting you know.
If something goes wrong during sponsorship, the job will show under Available rather than Paid until the status is confirmed.
