I see it as a TripAdvisor for jobs, why would that be a bad thing?

- tomasien 9y agoThis person has had to recruit for companies with bad Glassdoor reviews and it has made their job harder.
- empath75 9y agoYeah I have turned down multiple recruiters flat because of glass door reviews. They often don’t even want to tell me the company until I drag it out of them.
- FireBeyond 9y agoI've had recruiters tell me that I will have to go through interviews with them and potentially even someone from the company before they will reveal the name. No. I'm not playing "hour for something good" with my interview time.
- sidlls 9y agoThis is probably more because they're afraid you'll skip the middle man and apply directly than because they fear you'll look something up on Glassdoor.
- bmelton 9y agoBecause without strong fraud prevention, stuff like this happens: https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/434gqw/i-made-my-shed-the-top-rated-restaurant-on-tripadvisor https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/434gqw/i-made-my-shed-the...
- perl4ever 9y agoThere is no source of information that doesn't require engaging with a critical mindset in order to make it useful. Anything that you interpret by rote is easily gamed. As other people have said, this particular fraud is meaningless because it doesn't fit the profile of the sort of thing that would cause problems for users. Misinformation about a real restaurant is an actual problem. Ratings of non-existent restaurants don't matter.
- bmelton 9y agoIf you can defraud a site like TravelAdvisor to turn your shed into the best restaurant ever, then you can defraud a site like TravelAdvisor to turn you bad restaurant into a good one, or a competitor's good restaurant into a bad one.
- perl4ever 9y agoDo you have an argument to support your opinion? I think your assertion is obviously false. If the restaurant doesn't exist, nobody will provide real reviews. If it does, they may.
