Glassdoor.com vs. RemoteOk.com

It really depends on if you're an employee or an employer. If you're someone who is looking to research a company you're considering joining then absolutely Glassdoor.com is an important data point research. I stress "data point" - the information posted about employers should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. Most of the negative comments are written by disgruntled employees with an axe to grind. If you're an employer, beyond keeping tabs on your reputation on Glassdoor.com, there's not much to recommend.

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.

Glassdoor.com has proven to be an incredibly user-friendly platform that is both intuitive and easy to navigate. I find the overall functionality to be straightforward, which makes it simple to learn and use effectively, even for those who may not be very tech-savvy. I have encountered no difficulties when it comes to posting open positions, enhancing visibility through boosts, or reviewing and managing applicants. Everything is clearly laid out, making the entire process efficient and seamless.

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.

To be honest, we use both LinkedIn Jobs and [Glassdoor.com] to make sure we get the largest number of quality candidates quickly. LinkedIn Jobs allows us to learn more about the applicants before we ever speak to them, but Glassdoor allows candidates to learn more about us before they ever apply. Both boards have their complementary benefits and downsides, so it's a good idea to combine them if your organization can afford it.

Incentivized

• Average time to hire a candidate is shorter on Glassdoor when compared to our primary platform.
• Overall employee sentiment has gone up since we started using Glassdoor and came to know what are the pain points of our employees. It was an eye-opener and since then we made many changes which led to employee satisfaction.
• Organization image has improved as we always try to take the feedback constructively and actively try to acknowledge and respond to the reviews.
