    Again, based on the metrics we see in our applicant tracking system, it does not appear as though Glassdoor.com appeals to the admittedly narrow niche in which we operate. We hire highly skilled engineers and developers in the intel community with very high levels of security …

    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.

    LinkedIn Recruiter is better suited in terms of the filters it provides to search for a pool of candidates. Features like past and current companies, past universities, or years of experience, AI Search, and AI message drafting do wonders in terms of recruitment. But some more filters can be added, which will help further in recruitment. For example, Boolean search in job titles, targeting specific keywords in recent experience, etc.

    Pros

    • The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
    • It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
    • The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

    Cons
    Glassdoor
    • 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.

    • For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
    • It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

    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.

    Usability
    Glassdoor
    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

    This portals helps to source the profile directly from the LinkedIn where I don't need to check the resume and LinkedIn separately every time. LinkedIn Recruiter is the best platform for posting the job effortlessly. It requires only few details and we can get response quicker.

    Support Rating
    Glassdoor
    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.

    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.

    SeekOut has a diversity filter, which I like. They also list some candidates that are not on LinkedIn, but ultimately SeekOut routes me to LinkedIn. So technically SeekOut allows me to screen for filters that LinkedIn does not, but I actually end up using LinkedIn Recruiter to manage and communicate with the candidates.

    Glassdoor
    • 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.

    • It's a must have for reaching passive candidates.
    • Love being able to identify candidates we may need in the future and saving them in a project.
    • It's difficult to cut through the noise using Inmails since everyone is using the tool.
