Comparison Site Breakroom (Graphic: Business Wire)
Breakroom collects data from frontline workers on pay, hours,
flexibility, work conditions, culture, and more to provide
community-powered ratings for jobs. These ratings give an authentic
and transparent view of what it’s like to work for different
employers, which, in turn, helps job seekers apply for the right
jobs for their individual needs.
“While traditional employer review sites have predominantly
become places where workers go to voice their job dissatisfaction,
Breakroom collects insights about what the day-to-day is like
working for different companies,” said Ian Siegel, Founder &
CEO of ZipRecruiter. “Breakroom’s ratings give job seekers a clear
picture of what it’s really like to work for an employer, setting
better expectations than a traditional job description. We know
that when job seekers better understand the roles they’re applying
for, it leads to better outcomes for both sides of our
marketplace.”
Since its launch in 2020, Breakroom has built a platform that
resonates with the rising digitally native workforce in an
authentic way and features hundreds of thousands of reviews. These
reviews also allow Breakroom to provide employers with highly
actionable insights, including recommendations for how to improve
their ratings, jobs, and ultimately, retention. Breakroom also
supports employers in their efforts to create good jobs by
providing employer branding and insights, recruitment marketing
tools, and quality candidate sourcing.
“ZipRecruiter and Breakroom share a common mission to connect
the right job seekers to the right employers. We believe everyone
deserves a good job, and that all jobs have the potential to be
good ones when both job seekers and employers are armed with
objective and actionable information. We’re looking forward to
teaming with ZipRecruiter to scale our platform so we can bring
this powerful tool—and ultimately great employment matches—to even
more job seekers and employers,” said Anna Maybank, Founder &
CEO, Breakroom.
