QR-code-based recruitment platform for hourly hiring that lets job seekers submit one application to multiple employers. Best suited for small businesses in retail, food service, and hospitality.
In its favor
Why people choose ZippyApp
The signal that keeps ZippyApp on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
One-time application: job seekers complete a single profile and apply to any participating employer without re-entering information, reducing friction in high-volume hourly hiring.
QR code job discovery: employers post a QR code in-store or on-job-site, allowing candidates to apply instantly from their phone without downloading an app.
Low starting price: at $25/user/month with a free tier mentioned, it is accessible for very small businesses hiring fewer than five hourly workers.
Streamlined employer view: hiring managers see all applicants in one inbox, compare candidates side-by-side, and receive push notifications on new submissions.
High satisfaction scores: the platform holds a 4.6/5 on Capterra with 96% of reviewers rating it above four stars, indicating reliable usability for its target use case.
Glitchy navigation in the review queue: a SoftwareAdvice reviewer reported accidentally archiving or misplacing applications while browsing, suggesting the UI does not clearly separate browse and action states.
Integration gap with payroll and HR systems: hidden setup fees are cited for connecting ZippyApp to existing payroll or HRIS platforms, making it impractical for businesses that need automated onboarding.
Tiny market share and sparse reviews: with fewer than twenty verified reviews on major platforms and less than one percent of the recruitment-software market, prospective customers have limited peer validation and the product may be under-resourced.
No clear path for high-volume hiring: the Enterprise tier activates only after hiring more than ten people annually, implying per-seat pricing can scale unexpectedly for growing SMBs.

What gets migrated
ZippyApp object support
Object-by-object support for ZippyApp migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Job Seekers
Mapping requiredJob Seeker records include name, contact details, resume, cover letter, and application history. We extract these as Contact objects and preserve the application timeline as an Activity log in the destination CRM.
Employers
Mapping requiredEmployer accounts store company profile, branding details, job postings, and hiring-team members. We map these to Account/Company records and tag each employer by industry vertical if present in the ZippyApp profile.
Positions
Mapping requiredPositions are the open jobs tied to an employer account. Each Position has a title, description, location, and QR code. We map these to Job/Position objects in the destination ATS, preserving the QR metadata as a custom field.
Applications
Mapping requiredApplications link a Job Seeker to a Position with a status field (submitted, reviewed, dispositioned). We preserve the full application lifecycle as a custom object in the destination system because most ATS platforms handle applications differently.
Resumes
Mapping requiredResume files are stored as attachments to Job Seeker records. We extract them as binary blobs and attach them to the corresponding Contact record in the destination, noting that PDF versus DOCX parsing quality varies.
Cover Letters
Mapping requiredCover letters are optional attachments per application. We attach them to the same custom Application object as resumes and flag any cover letter present so the destination recruiter knows it was included.
Hiring Notifications
Not in this platformPush notifications and email alerts generated by ZippyApp during the hiring workflow are transient communication events and are not stored as persistent records, so we do not migrate them.
Custom Employer Branding Assets
Not in this platformLogos, brand colors, and QR-code graphics tied to employer accounts are media assets that do not map cleanly to any standard ATS object, so we exclude them from migration scope.
