Glassdoor.com Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Glassdoor.com for our branding as well as reaching the possible candidates that are in a similar industry. We like to use the site to highlight our great company culture and the things that we focus on. That is why I like the "competitor" section. Where, if you have the sponsored Glassdoor.com page, you can pick up to 10 competitors pages to advertise on.

The account reps are always super helpful in assisting with ideas for branding and updates we can post to keep our followers engaged. The account reps are very interactive

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All of our open positions get posted to Glassdoor.com. Based on our Recruiting Metrics, we see a small number of applicants coming from Glassdoor.com relative to other sources (like LinkedIn for example). Glassdoor.com of course began as a place where employees rate their employers. We're a good company and generally receive positive feedback. But obviously that's something we can't control.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glassdoor.com is mainly used to recruit for "revolving door" roles. This application keeps steady applicants coming in for those roles that never seem to fill longer than a few months. It has been an app that I keep in the background to catch any applicants I haven't obtained from another platform.

Likelihood to Recommend

Glassdoor.com has never brought in the same selection of applicants as some of my other search engines. I tend to receive the same applicants over and over again. That is not helpful when I have already screened them and decided not to move forward with them. While they bring in the numbers, those numbers are rarely candidates I want to pursue.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glassdoor.com has been a great resource of background information on companies that we are working with or that we may be planning on working with. It's helpful to get an "insider's" perspective of what it is like to work with and within an organization. We have found that Glassdoor.com has provided us with that window into many companies. It's a unique platform that no other outlet provides nearly as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Glassdoor to post all of our jobs, share news and employee stories on our profile, and maintain our reputation. We also use Glassdoor to benchmark against our competitors to see where we are versus where they are. We ensure to keep our profile up to date always adding new content. We also run employer branding ads here to build brand awareness against key talent and key markets.

Likelihood to Recommend

Glassdoor is important in the candidate journey as most candidates review what others are saying about the company before they apply for a job there.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glassdoor is used by the HR department in order to understand the employee sentiment and get honest feedback about the organization culture, leadership and benefits. It helps us understand our company's brand perception and also what needs to be done in order to improve it to next level. We also use Glassdoor as an alternative platform for posting new job opportunities.

Likelihood to Recommend

Glassdoor is well suited if an organization is looking to quickly reach out to the candidates actively looking for a job as most of the visitors on the site are active job seekers. So it can help reduce the total hiring time which can translate into a lot of monetary savings. It's not well suited for smaller companies as the pricing is too high and without a lot of reviews, ratings are not justified.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glassdoor is a very good tool to find talent for organization and to look for opportunities as an independent professional. It has some interesting tools and their algorithm is very advanced as their personalized e mails with job opportunities you may be missing always hits the point in terms of my interests and the professional skills I want to develop.

As for the company, we have a lot of applicants when we publish jobs on Glassdoor and HR is the area that uses it the most inside the organization.

Likelihood to Recommend

Glassdoor is useful as a job portal, specifically for more junior entry positions and as you move forward on your career other services may be more useful. Some of the postings you will see on Glassdoor are specific to the site but most are duplicated from LinkedIn and other job portal.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use [Glassdoor.com] to search for job candidates and also to post open positions we have available. It makes the process more streamlined because we can inform people about our organization, collect reviews that help people understand what we're about, and post jobs that reach a wide variety of candidates. We appreciate people being able to learn about our company before they decide to apply for a job with us.

Likelihood to Recommend

[Glassdoor.com] is well suited for larger, older organizations who have had time to build up a reputation in the market and have lots of employees come and go. This means that job seekers will have a lot more data to peruse when it comes to company reviews, interviews, salaries, etc. simply because there is a larger pool of people to provide such information. If you are a small or new organization, [Glassdoor.com] might not be helpful for candidates trying to learn more about your company.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Glassdoor.com to own the reputation of our clients and to sponsor jobs through PPC when necessary. We also have a review response strategy and try to respond to each review. Glassdoor also shows us to advertise on some competitor sites and to programmatically serve display ads to our audience.

You need to have a healthy budget for employer brand and marketing as profile ownership cost has gone up significantly in the past few years. Would not recommend for smaller businesses as it most likely wouldn’t be cost-effective. PPC is useful, but the campaign setup isn’t as smart as competitors’ offerings. If you need constant optimization, it may be best to use another technology to manage campaigns.
