Adding Authenticity to Your Career Site

Creating consistency across all of your organization’s career platforms is no easy task. But it can greatly enhance and amplify the employer brand you’ve worked so hard to establish and nurture. When a job candidate sees your mission statement and then encounters a company rating or review that backs it up—Click!—you build serious trust between employer and job seeker. No wonder when 78% of job seekers say that ratings and reviews from those on the inside are influential when deciding where to work. Today, thousands of employers showcase the Glassdoor icon or button on their career site, right alongside all other their social networks. This is a great way to show job seekers that you confidently stand by what your employees say about you. But what works even better is to pull relevant content (reviews, ratings and testimonials) right onto your career site. Here are four important benefits:

1. Job seekers can learn about your company’s Glassdoor content without ever leaving your career site.
2. You maintain control over which content displays—with an assist from Glassdoor content widgets.
3. You feature authentic content. Anyone can boast, “We’re an awesome place to work!” A better impact is embedding real-world Glassdoor content, provided by current and former employees.

4. As with the social badge icon, widgets help you qualify for OpenCompany status, which recognizes your company's commitment to transparency. If you would like assistance integrating a Glassdoor widget or social badge onto your career site, tell your client success manager or contact us.
