A popular destination for employee reviews and salary data, Comparably attracts millions of job seekers each month looking for a trusted source of information on company cultures and employee insights. The comprehensive platform provides employers with one-of-a-kind SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solutions to amplify and enhance their employer brand and recruitment marketing with custom content, search engine optimization, and global media recognition through Comparably’s Best Places to Work Awards series, which reaches hundreds of millions of people annually.

“The seismic shift in work accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic has fueled The Great Resignation. It’s never been so difficult to hire top talent,” said ZoomInfo Founder and CEO Henry Schuck. “ZoomInfo is committed to helping companies recruit talent more effectively. Comparably is a unique platform trusted by employees and businesses as a source of truth on company cultures, and it provides vital solutions to amplify a company’s employer brand. By combining Comparably with TalentOS, ZoomInfo will evolve how candidates are sourced and hired and will help companies convert more of their talent pipeline.”

“Job seekers are more educated and discerning than ever before, and companies are going to unseen lengths to recruit candidates of all backgrounds and skill sets,” said Comparably Co-Founder and CEO Jason Nazar. “Comparably has distinguished our brand as a unique data asset reflecting fair and accurate company cultures and the most popular SaaS platform for employer branding and recruitment marketing solutions. Partnering with ZoomInfo is an incredible opportunity to continue to support millions of employees and thousands of businesses and to help revolutionize how the modern challenges of recruiting are solved.”

With more than 11 million job openings across the U.S., hiring top talent in today’s highly competitive job market remains a challenge. Direct sourcing has surpassed traditional job boards as one of the most effective hiring strategies, and top candidates now expect an understanding of employee benefits and experiences before applying to a job. Comparably’s suite of innovative employer solutions helps companies manage their employer brand and promote their workplace culture on multiple platforms, including career sites, social media, search engines, and job boards, while simultaneously educating job seekers as they evaluate companies for potential fit.

With Comparably, TalentOS gives companies the ability to engage and hire candidates with much more sophistication and influence.
