SAUSALITO, CA--(Marketwire - September 3, 2009) - Glassdoor.com, the leading online career and
workplace community, today announced its new free syndication program,
which it has introduced with BNET (www.bnet.com), a Web site that provides
information and tools to help business managers succeed at work. The
syndication program offers free access to Glassdoor's exclusive
employee-generated salary, company and CEO reviews, insight and data. BNET
is the first premier partner to unveil a customized implementation, which
matches company information from Glassdoor.com with BNET's original
award-winning content found on BNET Industries (http://industry.bnet.com/).
In addition to the simple customized syndication options, any Web site or
blog can now also incorporate Glassdoor data instantly through the
company's new
self-serve widgets.
Glassdoor free data syndication means any Web site, such as online news,
financial, career and job sites and blogs, can complement and expand
existing content to include the best of Glassdoor.com's data. Through the
new program, partners benefit from Glassdoor's continually updated salary,
bonus and commission information by job title or company; and reviews and
ratings of companies and CEOs, which can be easily implemented and
integrated.
"Glassdoor's community of business insiders answer the questions other
business users really want to know: what's it like to work at a company,
how effective is the leadership, and how much do people make? We're
thrilled to have these specific and unique insights as part of BNET
Industries," said Stephen Howard-Sarin, VP of Business and Finance Brands,
CBS Interactive.
Content syndication enables sites, like BNET, access to information on more
than 28,000 companies currently in Glassdoor's database. Company reviews
and salary information on Glassdoor are provided anonymously by a community
of insiders, providing great insight into the inner workings, compensation,
and pros and cons of working at companies across the globe. While a
member's identity is never revealed to the Glassdoor community, Glassdoor
requires a valid e-mail address in order to register and submit data and
maintains a rigorous review and verification process to maintain data
integrity.
"It's especially important in today's market that people have access to
information about jobs, pay and workplaces at the tip of their fingers, and
the Glassdoor.com syndication program makes it easier for people to find
out what's really going on behind the closed doors of companies," said
Robert Hohman, co-founder and chief executive officer of Glassdoor. "Having
BNET as our first major partner validates the need for this type of
information; and we believe that our insights and data will help to provide
additional color and context to their terrific articles and posts. This is
the first in a number of many partnerships, and we look forward to
extending this vital information to people through more news organizations,
job and career sites and blogs."
Glassdoor's syndicated content can be implemented in a variety of ways to
suit the needs of any partner, whether large or small. Partners in the
syndication program have the flexibility to choose the Glassdoor data best
suited for their needs and a variety of implementation methods, including
search and keyword hover widgets. In addition, partners can work with
Glassdoor on custom implementations that match site tabs or specific
content or keywords with Glassdoor insights.
