Giving candidates what they want
With our new job search experience, candidates are able to remain in one window to browse jobs, quickly click through a list of openings and see job descriptions in the same window, easily save jobs for viewing at a later time, and finally, apply—giving candidates the tools they need to make smarter decisions about where to send their resumes. In turn, delivering more qualified and informed candidates to employers.
Preferred nearly 2:1 over other competitive job sites1, Glassdoor’s new desktop and mobile job search experience puts everything candidates need in one place.
