One of the top two employer review and job listing platforms globally, operating as a subsidiary of Recruit Holdings alongside Indeed
Glassdoor is one of the world's largest job and recruiting sites, combining job listings with a unique community-driven platform where current and former employees anonymously share company reviews, salary data, interview experiences, and CEO approval ratings. Founded in 2008, the platform has grown to host tens of millions of company reviews and salary reports, making it an indispensable resource for job seekers evaluating potential employers and for employers managing their talent brand. The platform serves a dual audience: job seekers who use it to research companies before applying or accepting offers, and employers who leverage Glassdoor's employer branding tools to attract top talent by showcasing their culture, benefits, and workplace environment. Glassdoor's employer solutions include Enhanced Profiles, targeted job advertising, and analytics tools that help HR and recruiting teams understand how their employer brand compares to competitors. Glassdoor was acquired by the Japanese recruiting giant Recruit Holdings — parent company of Indeed — in 2018 for approximately $1.2 billion. Despite the acquisition, Glassdoor continues to operate as a distinct brand and platform under Recruit Holdings' HR Technology segment. The company remains a significant player in the recruitment marketing and employer branding space, competing with LinkedIn, Indeed, and other job platforms for both job seeker attention and employer advertising budgets.
