Google Now Features Glassdoor Pay Data In Job Search

For years, Glassdoor has known that job seekers want more salary information during their job search. By offering more pay information to job seekers, we’re helping employers attract and recruit top talent on Glassdoor, as we believe this will drive more interest to your job listings on Glassdoor. So it comes as no surprise that Google is now surfacing salary information in its job search results from a few industry leaders including Glassdoor.

Starting today, Glassdoor’s unique pay data provided by employees will be included in many job search results on Google. For example, Facebook software engineers have reported on Glassdoor that they earn a median base salary of approximately $127,000. So when a job seeker Google searches for open jobs for software engineers at Facebook, it’s likely they will see Glassdoor pay data alongside the open roles. Furthermore, Google users now will have access to improved location settings, job application choices, and the ability to save their job search.

This new salary offering reflects the ongoing partnership between Google and Glassdoor which was first announced in June 2017.

“Glassdoor is pleased to continue our partnership with Google in their job search initiative,” said Heather Friedland, Glassdoor Chief Product Officer. “The collaboration is another step forward in reaching our mission of helping people everywhere find a job and company they love. Since Glassdoor launched, we have continued to demonstrate the power of offering people access to all of the latest jobs paired with salaries, reviews and more for specific jobs and companies. By enabling people to be more informed during the job search process, employers, in turn, are seeing higher quality candidates than ever before.”

Glassdoor research has shown that 98 percent of job seekers say it would be helpful to see pay ranges in job listings, while nearly 7 in 10 (68%) say that salary and compensation is among their top considerations before accepting a job. Furthermore, 4 in 5 job seekers look at company reviews and ratings before making job decisions. These informed candidates are engaged and well-researched when they apply to jobs.

We expect by continuing our partnership with Google, we can also help employers get their job openings in front of a wider audience of active job seekers and deliver more informed candidates — the people who are well-researched and engaged with a company. Furthermore, more informed candidates who apply through Glassdoor are twice as likely to be hired than those who apply through other job sites.

We’re excited to receive feedback from employers and job seekers on Glassdoor’s continued participation in Google’s job search experience, including this addition of surfacing Glassdoor’s unique pay data provided by employees. If you’ve checked it out, let us know your thoughts.
