History

ZipRecruiter was founded in 2010 by Ian Siegel,[14] Joe Edmonds, Ward Poulos and Will Redd.[15][16]

As the company started growing, they opened an R&D center in Israel focused on developing their Artificial Intelligence algorithm to increase the accuracy of their job seekers/employers matches.[17][18][19][20]

In 2017, Facebook also partnered with the company and integrated ZipRecruiter into its platform.[21][22]

In 2018, the company reported that over 1.5 million businesses and 430 million job seekers used its platform.[23]

In December 2018, the company's users' names and email addresses were exposed in a data breach.[24][25] ZipRecruiter claimed that they were able to fix it within 90 minutes after the technical glitch was reported.[24]

In March 2019, ZipRecruiter began operating in Canada.[26][27]

Funding

ZipRecruiter delayed raising venture capital until 2014, when the company's first round of financing of $63 million was led by IVP.[28]

In October 2018, the company raised $156 million for its online employment marketplace, which brought its total funding to $219 million.[29][30] Blake Irving, Cipora Herman, and Emilie Choi were added as new members to its board.[31] The October 2018 raise was at a valuation of $1 billion.[32][33][34][35][36]
