Why it matters

Why Glassdoor shapes who you can hire

Before top candidates apply, they check Glassdoor — your rating, reviews and how you respond signal what it's really like to work for you. A healthy, authentic Glassdoor presence widens your talent pool and cuts hiring costs.

How Glassdoor is different

These are employee reviews, not customer reviews

Glassdoor is about employer reputation: current and former employees review your company, and candidates rely on it. You can encourage employees to share honest feedback and you should respond as the employer — but you cannot incentivize, pressure or retaliate over reviews, and you can't post fake ones. Authentic employee voice, plus a well-managed profile and responses, is what works.

How it works

How we strengthen your Glassdoor presence

1

Audit your employer profile

We help you invite employees to share genuine feedback — no incentives, no pressure.

3

4

Play by the rules

What Glassdoor allows — and what gets you banned

Glassdoor protects authentic employee voice. Incentivizing, coercing or retaliating over reviews — or posting fake ones — violates its guidelines and can be penalized.

✅ Allowed & encouraged

  • Encouraging employees to leave honest reviews
  • Completing and optimizing your employer profile
  • Responding to reviews as the employer
  • Reporting reviews that violate Glassdoor's guidelines

🚫 Prohibited

  • Incentivizing, pressuring or requiring reviews
  • Retaliating against employees for reviews
  • Posting fake reviews or reviews from non-employees
  • Directing employees on what to say

Glassdoor FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I ask employees to leave Glassdoor reviews?+

You can encourage all employees to share honest feedback — but you cannot incentivize, pressure or require reviews, or tell them what to say. That's the line between building an authentic employer brand and violating Glassdoor's guidelines. We run compliant, pressure-free encouragement campaigns.

Can I remove a negative Glassdoor review?+

Only Glassdoor can remove reviews, and only if they violate its guidelines (fake, not a real employee, personal attacks, confidential info). Honest negative reviews stay — we help you respond professionally and encourage authentic reviews to give a balanced picture.

How do I respond to Glassdoor reviews?+

Respond as the employer: thank the person, acknowledge the feedback, and share what you're doing about it — professionally and without revealing personal details. We write employer responses for you.

Do you post fake employee reviews?+

Never. Fake reviews, or reviews from people who aren't your employees, violate Glassdoor's guidelines and the FTC — and they're easily spotted. We only encourage genuine employee voice and manage your profile and responses.

How quickly can we improve our Glassdoor rating?+

Authentic improvement takes a steady flow of honest reviews plus visible responses and real culture changes. Most employers see a healthier, more current profile within a few months of a compliant program.

Is Glassdoor review management compliant?+

Yes — we never incentivize, coerce or fabricate. Everything stays within Glassdoor's Community Guidelines and the FTC's rules on genuine reviews.
