presumably you simoly wait for someone from the glassdoor sales team to contact you , the owner. they will present is as a review optimization strategy. this is how yelp did it back in the day. i dont know if glassdor does or did it, just pointing out other review sites did do it and never posted it on their "pricing" or "services" page for employers...

    Yelp now just send oven a couple of large men with baseball bats who say “Nice business you got here. Would be a shame if something happened to it…” to cut out the foreplay.

      False and an unhelpful / irrelevant comment. Perhaps parent was trying to be funny but I found it confusing.

The rumor has long been that they contact you about it. Presumably they figure it based on page views and review volume to determine your hiring rate and churn etc and sentiment analysis of your worst reviews so they aren't just shotgunning these offers at every company that has reviews on their site. Just passing along rumors I have no particularly informed insight here or verifiable reason to believe this is true, though I do believe it's in the plausible-to-likely range.

  How else does Glassdoor make money, then? So somehow it's payola.

    Every single review site that you don’t pay to access is funded by shady conflicts of interest and perverted incentives. Yelp, BBB, Amazon, Wirecutter. The whole lot. Yeah some are worse than others. But every one of them is entangled in ways that Consumer Reports or the old Angie’s List aren’t. (Angie’s List later became just another marketing channel. Originally it was a subscription service, though I don’t remember if they were double dipping or not.)

  I'm surprised no-one has posted the email from Glassdoor suggesting this. You'd think one would get a lot of attention. Maybe they don't contact many companies about it.
