ZipRecruiter, a hiring platform for small to medium-sized businesses announced the expansion of the company’s sales and customer service operations, which will be located in Tempe, Arizona at Hayden Ferry Lakeside. Since 2014, ZipRecruiter has more than doubled its employee head count.
The new office will support the increased market demand for simpler and faster job-matching and hiring services for both job-seekers and employers across the country.
With more than 20 percent of Tempe jobs in the technology industry, ZipRecruiter aims to help enhance and expand the city’s innovation and technology communities. The lease of more than 15,000 square feet of space near Tempe Town Lake marks ZipRecruiter’s first expansion beyond its home base of Santa Monica, and comes as the 300-employee company looks to add hundreds of new team members over the next few years, many of those in Arizona. The new facility will create a projected 238 high-value jobs in Tempe over a five-year period.
“Arizona’s deep talent pool and active lifestyle make it an ideal location for ZipRecruiter’s brand, culture and growing team,” said Ian Siegel, CEO and co-founder of ZipRecruiter. “As a company focused on finding talented people for great jobs, we tested our own service in the Tempe market before committing to opening this new location, and we were blown away by the quality of local candidates for our expansion.”
In the five years since its founding ZipRecruiter has helped more than 800,000 businesses with their hiring needs, and assisted tens of millions of job-seekers in finding their next job. As the company expands its geographic footprint, it will continue its mission of making the hiring and job-seeking experience faster and easier.
“We make it easy for tech companies to succeed in Tempe by offering a robust and friendly technology community, a location just moments from Sky Harbor International Airport and a really wonderful quality of life,” Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell said. “We welcome ZipRecruiter to Tempe.”
