ZipRecruiter already serves the job marketplace through Cloudflare — CDN & Argo, WAF, Bot Management, Rate Limiting, Zero Trust for the workforce, DNS, and Workers. The next move isn't a new vendor. It's the AI-and-data layer — matching, inference, storage, and the last mile of marketplace security — on the platform you've already vetted, deployed, and trust.
Years of production traffic, security, and access already flow through Cloudflare. Every expansion below lands on this same control plane: no new procurement, no new security review, no new vendor.
ZipRecruiter is an AI-matching company. The matching, the data behind it, and the marketplace it protects all belong on the edge you already run.
Run résumé↔job matching and candidate scoring as inference at the edge — milliseconds from every seeker and employer, on the network already serving them.
Put a control plane in front of the matching models: per-team cost attribution, semantic caching on repeated queries, rate-limits, logging, and provider fallback. Cut model spend without touching app code.
Semantic search over candidates and jobs — embeddings served from the edge for similarity matching that goes beyond keywords.
Zero-egress object storage for résumés, job content, and ML training sets. Feed Workers AI without paying egress tolls every time data moves.
Turn the existing Stream proof-of-value into production — recruiter and employer video delivered globally with no media pipeline to run.
Go beyond today's Workers footprint — stateful, real-time employer tooling and applicant workflows at the edge.
The marketplace runs on APIs. You have WAF, Bot Management, and Rate Limiting — API Shield adds schema validation, discovery, and abuse protection on the endpoints that move the jobs and applications.
Client-side protection on the apply and sign-up flows — catch malicious third-party scripts and supply-chain tampering where candidate data is entered.
Phishing is the #1 attack vector. You already secure the workforce with Zero Trust — Cloud Email Security closes the inbox on the same platform.
You've already done the hard parts — vendor selection, security review, legal, production rollout. Adding the AI-and-data layer is a configuration conversation, not a new-vendor evaluation. 30 minutes, no slides — just where it fits on the roadmap.
