In other recent news, ZipRecruiter has reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a 10% decline in revenue compared to the previous year, totaling $110 million. The company also experienced a net loss of $12.8 million, nearly double the loss from the same period in 2024. Despite these challenges, ZipRecruiter maintains a strong liquidity position with $468 million in cash and cash equivalents. Analysts at Goldman Sachs have adjusted their outlook on the company, reducing the 12-month price target to $7.00 from $8.00, while maintaining a Neutral stock rating. This adjustment follows ZipRecruiter’s Q1 2025 earnings release, which narrowly met the upper end of their guidance. Moody’s has downgraded ZipRecruiter’s Corporate Family Rating to B2 from B1 due to ongoing challenges in the online job marketplace. The downgrade reflects declining hiring volumes and deteriorating credit metrics. Despite these setbacks, ZipRecruiter continues to focus on long-term platform and product initiatives to boost activity for both job seekers and employers.
