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.
