Description: ZIP Ziprecruiter December 27, 2025
ZipRecruiter, Inc. (NYSE: ZIP) runs a two-sided online marketplace that matches employers with job seekers in the U.S. and abroad, letting companies post openings and candidates apply with a single click. Founded in 2010 and based in Santa Monica, California, the firm is classified under the Interactive Media & Services sub-industry.
Recent data shows ZIP generated roughly $1.3 billion in revenue for FY 2023, up about 23 % year-over-year, driven by a surge in active job postings (≈ 300 k monthly) and higher average spend per employer as labor-market tightness pushes firms toward digital recruiting solutions. The broader online hiring sector benefits from continued remote-work adoption and a low-unemployment environment, which together lift demand for scalable, tech-enabled talent platforms.
