Company Updates

Today, Glassdoor celebrates a decade since we first introduced transparency to the world of work. When we first launched in 2008, we never could have imagined how much we have transformed how people search for jobs and how companies recruit.

Today we're announcing an exciting new chapter in Glassdoor's history. On behalf of my fellow co-founders, senior executive team and Board, we are pleased to announce that Glassdoor has entered an agreement to become part of Recruit Holdings and their HR technology segment.

MILL VALLEY, Calif. (Feb. 21, 2018) - , one of the world's largest job and recruiting sites, today announced James (Jim) S. Cox has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. Cox, with experience leading rapidly growing companies, will be responsible for Glassdoor's financial operations and strategy to support the company's global business.

One day in 2007, in Seattle, Rich Barton, the C.E.O. of the real-estate Web site Zillow, was getting ready for the company's annual reviews. The process-talking to each employee about his or her performance and whether he or she would be getting a raise-called for discretion and tact.

"The idea for Expedia was to give power to the people; power to the little guy." With that one goal, Rich Barton transformed the travel industry - it also became the foundation for all of the companies he's co-founded: Expedia in 1996, Zillow in 2006, and Glassdoor in 2007.

August is Career Exploration Month inside Glassdoor, with a series of events designed to open new doors for our employees. We're on a quest to help people everywhere find jobs they love and part of that is making sure that all Glassdoorians are equipped to manage their own careers.

Megha Krishnamurthy, Engineering Manager at Glassdoor, is very clear on her passions. In her estimation, to be satisfying, work has to yield more than just tangible results. Krishnamurthy explains: "We work. We make money. We have our living off of that, but there is a part of me that wants to see what I am doing for others in the society."

As a company that was founded on values of transparency and authenticity, we at Glassdoor care deeply about making sure that our employees can come into work every day feeling fully empowered to be their authentic selves.

Happy Anniversary, Glassdoor! It has been nearly a decade of company reviews, jobs and unparalleled transparency. Blow out the candles! Glassdoor, the fastest growing job and recruiting site 1, launched nine years ago with a mission of helping people everywhere find a job and company they love and is making significant strides changing up how people think about making their next job move.
