The ZipRecruiter platform is designed to aid both talent and employers in finding one another in a more efficient, and less time-consuming way than many other platforms for those seeking employment and/or staff.
They are the number one rated job search app on Android and iOS, and boast over seven million active users month in and month out.
Over 77% of their social media audience — who, of course, we must remember includes employers and recruiters as well as job-seekers — are ages 35 and up. 43% are over 45-years of age.
1) Entrepreneurs On Fire
John Lee Dumas — an Iraq vet, having served in the Army as an Armor Platoon Leader, before being honorably discharged in 2010 — produces the EOFire podcast seven days a week. His daily interviews — conducted, on his part at least, from Puerto Rico where he currently resides — have included such entrepreneurs as Seth Godin, Barbara Corcoran, and those mentioned in previous entries from this series, such as Tim Ferriss and Gary Vaynerchuk.
While seeking to work for someone else in the moment, or find someone to work for them, it seems the ZipRecruiter crowd is motivated to learn more about those who have made things happen for themselves. They are 42 times more likely to be members of the EOFire audience than those you’d normally find lurking around cyberspace.
In the interest of full disclosure we must mention that John and StatSocial’s CEO Michael Hussey grew up together in Maine, and are close friends to this day. That being said, we stress that the StatSocial platform is, as the name suggests, solely statistically based and this list is 100% impartial.
2) The Investors Podcast — We Study Billionaires
It’s an ambitious lot ZipRecruiter finds in their social media sphere.
Preston Pysh and Stig Brodersen, the fellows studying the billionaires so we don’t have to, describe their podcast thusly, “First, we like to have fun. Second, we read and talk about the books that have influenced billionaires the most. We typically talk about Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Ray Dalio, Stanley Druckenmiller, George Soros, and other financial billionaires.”
The likelihood of finding one of their listeners among ZipRecruiter’s employers/hopeful-employees is over 30 ½ times greater than finding them just wandering among the general social media throngs.
3) The School Of Greatness
Lewis Howes and his School Of Greatness podcast have appeared in a previous entry from this series.
Those in search of meaningful employment while expending minimal fuss find among their fellowship those who also seek to study at the feet of greatness. Those fitting the latter description occur within this audience nearly 29 times more frequently than you’d find their ilk among the general social media crowd.
4) APM: Marketplace
After NPR, the second biggest producer and syndicator of public radio in America is American Public Media. Their Kai Ryssdal hosted Marketplace “focuses on business, the economy, and events that influence them.”
The ZipRecruiter bunch are 19 ½ times more likely to be among the Marketplace audience than the average.
5) Side Hustle School
So we meet again, Mr. Guillebeau.
The Side Hustle School podcast has managed to find its way into a number of the entries from this series.
This audience is 18 times more likely to seek Chris’ counsel for picking up a bit of, you know, “walking around money” than those you’d find mingling among the general social media folks.
