ZipRecruiter Launches Breakroom in the U.S. to Bring Job Seekers Real Workplace Insights
BUSINESS WIRE)-- ZipRecruiter® (NYSE: ZIP), a leading online employment marketplace, today announced the U.S. launch of Breakroom, a workplace rating platform purpose-built for frontline industries like retail, hospitality, logistics, and more. With more than one million ratings and counting, Breakroom gives job seekers a clear look at what it's really like to work for different employers—helping them make smarter decisions and find jobs that fit their lives. Before most job seekers hit 'apply,' they've already formed an opinion about potential employers. 70% of frontline workers research companies first, and 84% say employee reviews influence whether they'll apply. However, nearly half (40%) question the trustworthiness of those reviews. 1 That uncertainty often leads to disappointment: only one in three frontline workers say their job very closely matched their expectations 1, with misaligned expectations ranking among the top three reasons they quit within the first 90 days. 2 Breakroom closes that gap by giving workers clear, reliable insights into the things that matter most: pay, schedules, team culture, work conditions, and more. 'Frontline jobs account for over 70% of jobs in America. Breakroom brings fresh data on what these jobs really demand—from customer interaction, to time on your feet, to how and when you're paid,' said Ian Siegel, Co-founder & CEO of ZipRecruiter. 'In the months ahead, we plan to integrate Breakroom's insights directly into ZipRecruiter to help job seekers find the right jobs for them—and help employers hire candidates who are more likely to stay and succeed.' Unlike traditional employer review sites, Breakroom doesn't rely on open-ended reviews, which often skew negative or subjective. Instead, current employees anonymously answer a 30-question quiz, which generates an objective 1–10 rating of their employer. These worker experiences are then aggregated to give job seekers role- and location-specific insights, whether they're considering a warehouse job in Dallas or a call center role in Detroit. 'A year after joining forces with ZipRecruiter, we're bringing Breakroom to job seekers and employers across the U.S. as we seek to fundamentally transform how frontline workers find the right job for them. We're creating a cycle of transparency – empowering workers to shape better workplaces, giving job seekers a real look at life on the job, and providing employers a window into how their workplaces are truly experienced,' added Anna Maybank, Founder & CEO of Breakroom. As part of the launch, ZipRecruiter is introducing its inaugural Breakroom Workplace Index, a new research report tracking workplace trends across frontline industries. The report found that while worker sentiment is improving – driven by better access to paid leave, healthcare, and career development – a major gap remains: only 23% believe senior leadership understands their day-to-day reality. Likewise, wage growth has been largely flat, with a median wage of $20.00 per hour, though pay is rising in historically lower-wage cities as they compete for talent. When it comes to the workplace experience, 61% of frontline workers report having access to health insurance, 67% receive paid time off, and 51% have some choice in their shifts. ZipRecruiter acquired UK-based workplace rating platform Breakroom in 2024. Since its launch in 2020, Breakroom has built a platform that resonates authentically with the rising digitally native workforce. Breakroom has operated, and we expect it to continue to operate, as an independent brand.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the same period.

We also use these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and to evaluate our capacity for capital expenditures to expand our business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to net income (loss), revenue, cash flows or other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is an appropriate measure of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of some expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of our underlying business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as they do not reflect our tax payments and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of our performance. Our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.

ZipRecruiter Announces First Quarter 2025 Results
Quarterly revenue of $110.1 million Quarterly net loss of ($12.8) million, or net loss margin of (12)% Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 million, or Adjusted EBITDA margin of 5% SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZipRecruiter® (NYSE: ZIP), a leading online employment marketplace, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. ZipRecruiter's complete first quarter results, financial guidance, and management commentary can be found by accessing ZipRecruiter's shareholder letter on the quarterly results page of the Investor Relations website at "Q1'25 revenue of $110.1 million came in above the midpoint of our guidance, though was down 10% year-over-year and down 1% versus Q4'24. However, the sequential revenue decline represents a more typical seasonal cadence as employers resume their hiring campaigns after the holiday slowdown, versus the sequential declines of 13% and 10% in Q1'23 and Q1'24, respectively," said Ian Siegel, CEO of ZipRecruiter. "We started the year with cautious optimism. However, we now see employers adopting a 'wait-and-see' attitude, reflecting widespread uncertainty in the near-term U.S. economy. While we have yet to see a sharp pull back from employer hiring, we also are not seeing an acceleration in hiring activity as we enter the second quarter. Regardless of the macroeconomic environment, ZipRecruiter continues to invest strategically in product and technology initiatives. Driving even greater engagement between both sides of our marketplace is key to connecting people to their next great opportunity, and we believe we are poised for outsized growth when hiring activity rebounds."

ZipRecruiter's complete fourth quarter and full year 2024 results, financial guidance, and management commentary can be found by accessing ZipRecruiter's shareholder letter on the quarterly results page of the Investor Relations website at "In 2024, ZipRecruiter delivered multiple improvements to our marketplace. This included new product launches, advancements to our existing products, and leveraging M&A as a tool to expand our product suite. We made these gains against a difficult hiring environment. Our business remains resilient, as we managed down operating expenses while continuing to invest in product and technology," said Ian Siegel, CEO of ZipRecruiter. "Despite the protracted labor market downturn, we enter 2025 with cautious optimism on improving revenue trends from both internal and external indicators. Our Q1 revenue guidance of $109 million at the midpoint is down 2% versus Q4'24. By contrast, Q1 revenue declined sequentially by 13% and 10% in 2023 and 2024, respectively. We remain nimble and believe our balance sheet provides a solid foundation to capture market share when hiring activity returns. Through all labor market cycles, our mission of actively connecting people to their next great opportunity remains the foundation of our strategy."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) before interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the same period. Management and our board of directors use these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of our performance because they assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as they remove the impact of some items not directly resulting from our core operations. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and to evaluate our capacity for capital expenditures to expand our business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or superior to net income (loss), revenue, cash flows or other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is an appropriate measure of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of some expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of our underlying business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or other items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as they do not reflect our tax payments and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of our performance. Our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation.
