How to Scale Your Efforts
Email Signature.
Append HR and Recruiting team
members’ details with a simple
call to action like “Take a Tour!” or
“Leave Company Feedback!”—
often the smallest suggestions make
all the difference.
How to Scale Your Efforts
Candidates.
Close the loop with job seekers by
actively soliciting feedback on the
interview process: What worked?
What didn’t? How can we improve?
How to Scale Your Efforts
New Hires.
Point them to site pages and resources
that introduce your brand and tell your
company story. After onboarding, ask
new hires to submit reviews about their
experience.
Turn Employees and Candidates Into Fans
Show You Care. Listen, ask for feedback and follow up on action items
employees care about.
Be Authentic. Respond honestly to reviews on Glassdoor, acknowledging the
positive and addressing constructive criticism with the employer perspective.
Hard-to-Fill Roles? Ask hiring managers to encourage their teams to leave
reviews about your company.
Interview “A Players.” Ask what makes them stay on board. Play up your
strengths as you develop company messaging.
C-Level Buy-In. Get management to endorse your engagement efforts.
Build Awareness to Recruit Top Talent
Do the Basics! Encourage employees to leave reviews on Glassdoor.
Get Personal. Meet one on one with every employee to show they matter;
include them in developing the company mission.
Refer. Launch referral programs so your “A Players” can help you recruit
more “A Players.”
Message. Ensure your company brand, message and company story is updated
internally and externally across social channels.
Pump Up New Hires. Sell them on the company mission and the value of their work.
Close the Loop. Follow up after interviews by asking candidates to leave reviews
about the experience.
How Feedback Helps Make Your Company Great
Ensures your salary and benefits are competitive
Improves your interview and hiring process
Makes your company culture the best
