Note: Only Admin and Full Access users can sponsor jobs.
ZipRecruiter is the faster way to hire qualified candidates. With flexible plans that enable you to pay by the day, you can purchase per-day, per-job to fit your hiring needs.
If you have a paid CareerPlug account, your jobs are automatically posted on ZipRecruiter because ZipRecruiter is one of our partner job boards. Through CareerPlug, you can sponsor your jobs on ZipRecruiter, which often results in more clicks and applicants than jobs that are not promoted.

How do I edit my ZipRecruiter sponsorship?
When a job is sponsored, it is sponsored for the entire day. All changes and edits to an active job sponsorship will be reflected the following day. This prevents double-billing from ZipRecruiter. To avoid being charged for the next day, you must stop a job's sponsorship before 12 a.m. Pacific Time.

Classic ZipRecruiter sponsorship option
Configure a job as you normally would, but before posting, add the ZipRecruiter tag to your job post.
When editing the Job Description, add “#ZR” to the very bottom of your description (at least one space below the end of your description’s text).
Once posted, your job will be sent to the (ZipRecruiter) job feed. ZipRecruiter will identify all jobs featuring the “#ZR” tag and sponsor them in their job listing.
Classic ZipRecruiter sponsorship FAQ
Q: How long will my job stay sponsored on ZipRecruiter?
A: 30 days.
Q: How many sponsored posts can I have on ZipRecruiter?
A: You can have as many sponsored posts as your ZipRecruiter plan allows. If you add the “#ZR” tag to more jobs on CareerPlug than your ZipRecruiter plan permits, ZipRecruiter will prioritize and only sponsor the number of jobs your plan supports.
Q: Can I cancel sponsorship on an existing job in order to sponsor a new/more urgent job?
A: Yes, you can stop sponsoring one job before the 30-day period ends and start sponsoring another. However, you will need to contact ZipRecruiter to handle this.
