People’s Insights: Volume 1, Issue 15
Glassdoor
What is Glassdoor?
Source: http://glassdoor.com
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?'
One-stop shop

Glassdoor compiles information on professional networks, job listings,
reviews, salary reports, workplace photos and presents them on one
platform.
Biggest company information repository

Glassdoor has data on more than 150,000 companies, including those
listed on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500, and featured
in the Fortune 500 list.
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
Source: http://techcrunch.com
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
Source: http://mashable.com/2012/02/02/glassdoor-facebook-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.
