ZipRecruiter IAEWS Member Congress Vegas After PartyThe IAEWS Spring Member Congress is just one month away, and ZipRecruiter is excited to be hosting an after party for the event.

The one-day IAEWS conference comes directly before the SHRM Talent Management Conference & Expo and takes place in the same venue. These back-to-back events are expected to bring together a tremendous number of influencers in the job board, recruitment, and human resources space.

We at ZipRecruiter are big fans of networking and are even bigger fans of making networking fun. What better way to do this than by hosting an after party in Vegas? (Yes, there will be Hangover-style face tattoos, so prepare yourself accordingly.)

ziprecruiter-donorschooseThe end of the year is one of my favorite times, and not just because it’s filled with family, food, and fun. I also love it because it’s a time for reflection and improvement — we reflect on the past so that we can take action for a better future.

At ZipRecruiter, we believe in working not only to better our products and services, but also to better our community and world. For the second year in a row, we acted on this belief by supporting numerous educational projects on DonorsChoose.org. Here’s an overview of what we did:

  • 55: The number of DonorsChoose projects funded by ZipRecruiter
  • 4,000: The number of students who will benefit from the projects this year alone
  • $3,000: The amount given to teachers in Newtown, Conn.
  • $3,000: The amount donated to classrooms affected by Hurricane Sandy
  • $25,000: The total amount donated in 2012

We recently brought on a VP of Business Affairs at ZipRecruiter. She uses her iPhone to keep reminders, but not in the way that you might think.

If only the iPhone had an app for that.

ZipRecruiter Exceptional Customer Service Representative, Jessica HeftyWe’re once again excited to introduce a new member of the ZipRecruiter team!

Jessica Hefty applied to ZipRecruiter’s Exceptional Customer Service opening in late February and impressed us from the start. Her bubbly disposition and genuine excitement about our service made it clear that she would be a great fit.

Here’s a bit more about Jessica.

Tell your life story in 3 sentences or less.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin in a friendly, small town community surrounded with friends and family. I absolutely LOVE working with people, and I love cheese! (I am a proud cheesehead). Although my roots are in the Midwest, I’m glad I decided to give my travel urges a try… and now I feel like a natural California girl!

How did you end up in Los Angeles?
It was by chance, actually. I had no better time to move! I always pictured the palms, the beach, and summer everyday. Growing up with long, cold winters… that picture alone sounded like paradise! I am glad I took my chances and just went for it (like skydiving)!

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
I enjoy going to the dentist!

If you were stuck on a deserted island, what 3 things would you want to have with you?
