What is an Employer Review Site?
An employer review site is an online platform where current and former employees anonymously rate and review their employer. The most well-known examples include Glassdoor and Comparably. Reviews typically cover compensation, culture, management, work-life balance, career growth, and interview experience. These sites have become a critical touchpoint in the candidate journey, with most candidates reading reviews before applying for a job.
Why it matters
Employer review sites significantly influence candidate decisions. A company with poor reviews will struggle to attract top talent regardless of how well it markets itself. The reviews are essentially crowdsourced employer brand data: they reveal what employees actually think, not just what the company says about itself. Monitoring and responding to reviews, addressing legitimate concerns, and encouraging satisfied employees to share their experiences are all essential employer branding activities.
