    It is very well suited for entry-level positions, or even part-time or PRN, where they can work around their school schedule. I think for any positions requiring specific experience, this is not going to be the best place to find those types of employees.

    I would definitely recommend Glassdoor.com to colleagues who are looking to get insights into the inner workings of an organization by the people who know it best - its employees. The variation of reviews of employees at all levels within an organization. The benefit to this is that it delivers a well-rounded perspective that provides deeper understanding of a company and the ways that they are perceived externally and how they operate in actual terms of acting as a reliable establishment to work for or work with.

    Cons
    Barefoot Student
    • The site is a little misleading when you sign up, as I didn't realize I can only post one free job per day.
    • The resume database is not easy to filter down.

    • Glassdoor is an expensive product and price needs to be lower for employers.
    • They have to find a way to stop companies from rigging their ratings by asking their employees to post positive reviews.
    • Also, somehow they need to figure out if the negative review is an attempt to show their frustration by an employee rather than the true picture of the organization.

    I see no reason at this time to change how we would continue to work with Glassdoor.com as a go-to resource for our hiring needs. As we look to hire in the future we will certainly return to Glassdoor.com as well as recommend Glassdoor.com to colleagues and anyone we know who is looking for a platform that they can look to for reliable employee resourcing.

    It's improved but I still find it it a bit complex and challenging to navigate. There's a lot I can't see as an unpaid employer account but it generally takes me some time to get to what I can see whether that's trying to research my own company's feedback scores from past or current employees, the feedback other companies are receiving, or job postings

    Support is generally excellent, but there can be a fair amount of bureaucracy at times for requests. The support people are very knowledgeable of the platform, but sales seem to regurgitate the same info when trying to negotiate or upsell a client. Technical issues are rare and usually solved quickly.

    Barefoot is not in the realm of Indeed or ZipRecruiter, but we have over 8,000 employees, many of whom are probably 18-25, so this targets that specific audience.

    Glassdoor.com appears to operate a bit differently compared to some of the other recruiting platforms I regularly use. From my experience, it doesn’t seem to have the same level of engagement or reach among job seekers. Although it does generate a high volume of applicants, I’ve noticed that many of those applications tend to be from the same individuals I’ve seen through other platforms or previous postings. As a result, it sometimes feels like I’m not getting access to a broader or new pool of talent through Glassdoor.com alone.

    Return on Investment
    Barefoot Student
    • It has had a positive impact. For the cost, one hire more than pays for this service for months and months.
    • Very minimal cost on our end to reach thousands of potential employees.

    • It has been helpful to see the responses and if they are something to address.
    • People are more likely to post here vs give the feedback to us directly, so often things will be brought to us we didnt know about.
