Glassdoor

Glassdoor, employment and workplace transparency platform

Glassdoor is an online platform aimed at professionals seeking information about companies and job opportunities. According to its own presentation, it brings together job listings, salary data, and anonymous employee reviews, plus a community where users talk anonymously about work, pay, and other aspects of work life.

Job search and salary comparison

The site lets you search millions of job listings and filter them according to the criteria each user considers relevant. It also offers a free, personalized salary estimate that users can compare with millions of salary data points. The platform states that access to job search, company reviews, salary information, and the anonymous community is free for job seekers.

Company reviews and anonymous community

Glassdoor publishes anonymous reviews on more than 600,000 companies worldwide, written by people who work or have worked there. The community allows you to connect anonymously with other professionals to discuss work, pay, and personal topics. The company also declares specific policies against fake reviews, on content removal, and on user anonymity.

Services for employers

For companies, Glassdoor offers a free employer profile, an employer center from which to manage the company profile, view analytics, and respond to reviews. It also has employer branding services to turn candidates into hires, and a blog, Work in Progress, with content on recruitment, retention, and the future of work. The platform also mentions the possibility of contacting an employer brand specialist to expand the profile through an enhanced version.

Integration with Indeed and business model

Glassdoor is part of Indeed, Inc., and its operation relies on combining Indeed's job listings with the company information Glassdoor provides. The company notes that this integration aims to offer more tailored job matches and reduce the practice of mass applying for positions. For employers, it presents corporate culture as a differentiator and facilitates direct contact with candidates through Indeed. The site's terms and conditions state that Glassdoor, Worklife Pro, Bowls, and their logos are proprietary trademarks of Indeed, Inc.
