We're excited to announce that Glassdoor continues to expand our global footprint, launching our new Irish website (https://www.glassdoor.ie/) and mobile apps, in addition to announcing plans to open an office in Dublin, Ireland. This comes as we surpass 10 million employee-provided reviews, ratings, salary reports and other workplace insights for more than 445,000 companies around the globe.
Making the move
In addition to our new Irish website, we're also proud to announce our new European headquarters in Dublin, slated to open in January 2016. We estimate this will create up to 100 jobs in the next three years. Dublin is the second European office for Glassdoor, which opened an office in London in 2014.
While we're expanding globally, we've also grown substantially in the United States, becoming the fastest-growing job site in the U.S., and surpassing CareerBuilder.com in U.S. traffic. No other site combines job listings with such a vast array of user-generated content provided anonymously by employees revealing what it is really like to work at a company.
What this means for Irish employers
Here are just a few of the resources available to Irish employers at this time:
1. Provide feedback and monitor job seeker engagement with a Free Employer Account.
With a Glassdoor Free Employer Account, employers gain key benefits to start shaping their employer brands and managing their reputations on Glassdoor. First, the employer account gives organizations the ability to update a basic profile where official company representatives can add a company description, office photos and details about company benefits. Note, 90% of job seekers find the employer perspective useful when learning about jobs and companies (Glassdoor Site Survey, Oct. 2014).
Other benefits of a Free Employer Account include the opportunity to respond to reviews, and access to analytics showing job seeker activity as well as employee sentiment for your company and competitors.
2. Show you are an employer committed to workplace transparency.
Glassdoor's OpenCompany program recognizes companies that embrace transparency in the workplace. This five-step process is designed to help job seekers see a clearer picture of what it is like to work at a particular company. As a Glassdoor OpenCompany, the employer will receive a distinct profile badge signaling to job seekers their achievement and commitment to transparency. Learn more about OpenCompany and how to earn this achievement for your company.
3. Have offices in more than one country? Build an Enhanced Profile in each country where you are trying to recruit.
We recently launched localized profiles, a feature that gives multinational employers the opportunities to reach candidates in several North American and European countries where they are trying to recruit.
With Enhanced Profiles, Glassdoor employers can tell their employer branding stories and differentiate in each market where they are trying to recruit. These profiles also include targeted job advertising and the opportunity to target competitor profiles.
As of October 2015, Glassdoor now has eight localized sites (Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, India, Australia and in The Netherlands), in addition to Glassdoor.com.
