What Glassdoor is

Glassdoor launched in 2007 as a workplace transparency platform (anonymous reviews, salary data, interview questions) and added job posting in 2012. Glassdoor was acquired by Recruit Holdings - Indeed's parent company - in 2018. Since 2021, Indeed has managed Glassdoor's job feed, and ATS direct integrations into Glassdoor (Lever, others) were sunset in favor of Indeed-as-conduit. The unified Employer Branding Hub combining Glassdoor's Enhanced Profile and Indeed's Company Page rolled out more recently as the two surfaces continued consolidating.

Practically, this means you don't separately 'post to Glassdoor' anymore. You post on Indeed, and the listing appears on both indeed.com and glassdoor.com search results. Glassdoor still maintains its own consumer-side identity (reviews, salary insights, company pages) - it's the posting backend that consolidated.

Step-by-step: posting your job on Glassdoor

6 steps, around 10-15 minutes start to finish.

1
Go to indeed.com/hire (not glassdoor.com)
Glassdoor's standalone employer posting flow has been retired - posting now runs through Indeed's employer dashboard. Use the same Indeed account you'd use for Indeed; if you already post on Indeed, your Glassdoor presence is set up too.
Tip: If you visit glassdoor.com/post-job directly, the page title now reads 'Post Jobs | Glassdoor & Indeed' and routes you to indeed.com/hire. Don't waste time looking for a separate Glassdoor-only flow - it doesn't exist anymore.
2
Claim your Glassdoor company profile
Even though posting happens on Indeed, you should still claim your Glassdoor profile. It's the page candidates see when they research you - reviews, salary data, photos, and the 'Why work here' section. Go to glassdoor.com/employers/free-employer-account/ to claim.
Tip: Add at least one company photo and a 100-word 'why work here' blurb before publishing your first job. Candidate click-through from Glassdoor's Jobs box to your profile is a measurable conversion signal, and a blank profile costs you applications.
3
Post the job through Indeed
Follow Indeed's standard posting flow - title, location, job type, pay, description, screening questions. The same fields, the same options (free or sponsored). The listing will appear on Indeed and Glassdoor search results.
Tip: Sponsored Indeed posts get top placement on Glassdoor too. Free posts appear on Glassdoor but rank lower, just like on Indeed.
4
Respond to Glassdoor reviews
Candidates research employers on Glassdoor more than any other site. Recent reviews (positive and negative) shape application rates. Respond to negative reviews calmly and constructively - that response is public and shows up to every candidate looking at your profile.
Tip: Respond within 7 days. Glassdoor's algorithm prioritizes profiles with active employer engagement; profiles where the latest negative review is 6 months old with no response signal you don't care about your employer brand.
5
Add salary data to your Glassdoor profile
Glassdoor's salary-data feature is opt-in for employers. Adding your salary ranges (anonymized by role) makes your profile more useful to candidates and gets you a 'Verified Employer' badge that bumps click-through.
Tip: Salary transparency on Glassdoor is now legally required in many states (NY, CA, CO, WA, IL) for any role with applicants in those states. Glassdoor's profile-level salary publishing is one efficient way to comply.
6
Track applicants in the Indeed dashboard
All applications - whether the candidate clicked from Indeed or from Glassdoor - flow into the same Indeed employer dashboard. The 'source' tag tells you which surface they came from, useful for understanding which traffic actually converts.
Tip: Glassdoor-sourced applicants are typically a bit further along in research - they've read your reviews before applying. Engage them faster than Indeed-direct applicants; they're more likely to be evaluating multiple offers.

Should you bother? Honest pros and cons

Pros

Posting on Indeed gives you Glassdoor distribution for free - no separate setup or fee.
Glassdoor candidates skew more research-oriented and further along in the decision than Indeed-direct candidates.
Your reviews and salary data on Glassdoor influence application rates more than the job listing itself - small companies with strong profiles outperform big companies with weak ones.
Glassdoor's Jobs box appears in Google search for the company name, capturing 'is [company] a good place to work' research traffic.

Cons

No standalone Glassdoor-only posting flow anymore. If you don't want to be on Indeed, you can't be on Glassdoor either.
Your reviews are public and partially out of your control - one bad cluster of recent reviews can tank application volume regardless of the role.
Glassdoor Branded Profile pricing is opaque (sales-quoted) and runs into multi-thousand-dollar annual contracts, which is hard to justify for a small business hiring 1-5 roles a year.
Glassdoor's anonymized salary data sometimes lags reality and can lock you into ranges candidates see before negotiation.

FAQ

How do I post a job on Glassdoor for free?

You post through Indeed's employer dashboard at indeed.com/hire - Glassdoor's standalone employer posting flow has been retired. Free posts on Indeed automatically appear on Glassdoor too at no additional cost.

What's the difference between Indeed and Glassdoor now?

On the employer side: very little - they share a posting backend, ATS integrations now flow through Indeed, and the unified Employer Branding Hub combines Glassdoor's Enhanced Profile with Indeed's Company Page in one dashboard. On the candidate side: Glassdoor still has its own identity (reviews, salary data, company pages, interview questions) while Indeed remains the primary job search surface.

Do I need a separate Glassdoor account if I already use Indeed?

You don't need a separate posting account, but you should claim your Glassdoor company profile (free at glassdoor.com/employers/free-employer-account/). The profile is what candidates see when researching you - it's separate from the job listings.

How much does Glassdoor Branded Profile cost?

Glassdoor doesn't publish Branded Profile pricing. Third-party sources put it at $2,000-$5,000+ per year depending on company size and feature set. It includes custom branding, photos, the 'Verified Employer' badge, and removal of competitor ads from your profile.

Should I respond to negative Glassdoor reviews?

Yes, calmly and constructively, within 7 days. The response is public and shows up to every candidate researching you. A measured response to a tough review reads better than no response at all - silence implies the review is true and unchallenged.
