Glassdoor

What is Glassdoor?

Glassdoor is a free jobs and career community that offers an inside look at recruitments and companies through 'employee-generated content' by uncovering 'Inside Connections' through Facebook.

What job seekers want Job seekers look for portals where they can get answers to questions like 'What's the job?', 'How much does it pay?', 'How is the work environment?', 'Who is the contact person?'

Useful for potential employees Job seekers can search for positions, get a perspective on companies and check which friends that have worked there. They can also gain insights on a company's recruiting process.

Inside Connections Glassdoor recently integrated a Facebook app called 'Inside Connections' that reveals the connections users have at a company – employees and ex-employees – from within their Facebook friends list.

Why Inside Connections Inside Connections might help users get an 'introduction' for the job through friends and family. This is based on the insight that 60% of jobs are found through such networks.

Leveraging the Facebook friends list It's more about leveraging a network than expanding it. Enter Facebook, a network that has over 800 million users. Glassdoor’s customers are also younger and more active on Facebook than on other networks.

Better for users with more social circles Friends of the most well-connected, diverse and influential people will have access to the most jobs. People with many friends on Facebook, who have many friends in return, will have more opportunities.

The competition Linkedin is strictly professional, while Branchout, Glassdoor and BeKnown are more social. Glassdoor uses Facebook to enhance its website with data on salaries and employee reviews.

The future More job portals will emerge in the social networking space to maximise the potential of social data. Professional and social networks will make the most of their capacities through strategic integration.
