Great stories from Best Places to Work Winners Expedia, Hubspot, Genentech
These are companies at the forefront, the early adopters, the ‘thought leaders’ if you will!
But what if you’re at a company that doesn’t have the marketing background of a company like Hubspot? Or the well known brand of Expedia? Or the budget of a Genentech?
I’d like to share a little bit about Glassdoor, how you can get involved – even without any budget right now – to make an immediate impact on your employer brand
Software Advice did a survey a year ago of 2,000 job seekers and what they found was that 48% - almost half – used Glassdoor at some point in their job search
Reason why is because Glassdoor influences candidates at every stage of their journey
From Awareness to consideration to interview, offer and through to hire
Glassdoor has 7.5+ Million pieces of content on over 340 thousand companies
This is where candidates go to research and make decisions.
Who’s on Glassdoor?
We’ve got 27 Million members worldwide
50/50 gender split
Well educated
Mix of experience levels
This means we can help employers of all sizes across all industries hire for every job across the spectrum – blue collar to white collar and everything in between
Might not know that Glassdoor right now is the fastest growing site in the recruiting space
Founded in 2007, we haven’t been around very long, especially compared to some of the other logos you see up there, but we’re growing like wildfire
Josh Bersin in September noted that most of the employers he’s talking to say that now, they’re even seeing more traffic to their Glassdoor company profile than their own career site!
So why are we growing at this crazy fast rate?
Corporate Executive Board (CEB) did a survey 6 months ago. What they discovered was almost two thirds (61%) of job seekers said that they’re more skeptical of claims made by employers now than they were 3 years ago. That figure rises to 65% for millenials
Today’s candidates are smart enough to know that the job reqs, the info on your career sites, they’re telling the story with rose colored glasses on.
Today’s candidates want the employer’s perspective but they also want the not so pretty stuff. They want the inside look just as if they knew someone that worked at the company and they asked them to tell them the good, bad, and the ugly.
Then, they can decide for themselves if the company and the job could be a good fit for them
Glassdoor offers three core products to help employers brand, influence and hire.
Enhanced profile, Job advertising, and targeted display advertising
