Nowadays, the website has over 10 mi job listings and more than 60 mi reviews, salaries and insights shared. In 2008, when Glassdoor was officially launched, the website contained more than 3,300 reviews on 250 companies.Īnd, surprisingly over the same launch day, the platform received more than 1.2 million views, 10,000 salary reports, and 3,000 companies - and even a crash down due to traffic. They also raffled an iPod among engineers from the Silicon Valley, in exchange for them to publish reviews and salary information. Then, the trio asked their friends and acquaintances to leave reviews on the site. Sharing these thoughts with the other future founders, they created the prototype site for Glassdoor. Barton questioned himself, what was the problem with exposing this kind of information when you are doing your job properly and being fairly paid for that. In the year 2007, he accidentally sent to print a document that contained salary and stock data, and his assistant rushed to pick up the papers before anyone else could see the information.
Hohman was the first to leave Expedia, but remained in contact with the other two. They met each other when all of them worked for. The employer account permits responding to employee reviews, managing the company profile, verifying analytics, job advertising, bench marketing, and enhancing the brand in order to attract eager applicants.Īs mentioned above, Glassdoor was founded 12 years ago, by Robert Hohman, Rich Barton, and Tim Besse. On the side of employers, it is possible to seek new qualified employees. And the platform will also offer suggestions of companies to be followed, according to the employee’s interests and work history. They can also compare two possible employers, considering work-life balance, opportunities, culture, or senior management approval. They can also publish potential questions that might be asked in certain companies’ interviews, besides other useful information for job applicants’ preparation. Individuals can search for jobs, and collect and post information about an employer (such as salary, available positions, benefits, interview questions, vacation, trips, and more). The employers can post jobs on the platform, and the employees can evaluate their current and former employers. Glassdoor is a kind of marketplace that connects individuals and employers. Because of that, employers will also use the Glassdoor platform in order to recruit and hire candidates.
And, differently from other sources, every piece of data come from real employees. The company provides over nine million job listings, several reviews, and lots of information on salaries, interviews, and benefits, besides photos and questions.
