  4. [R42] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · GB Job search is weak: You can’t sort job by salary or the app does not remotely give you similar jobs to what you are looking for. You input a senior position and just get junior positions or different sectors all together.
  5. [R5] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Easy process: V
  6. [R17] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Easy to use: Great app, easy to use
  7. [R41] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Orchid: Applying for this position at Orchid Healthcare was easy through Glassdoor because I didn’t have to do the redundant uploading of my resume AND then manually entering everything that is already included in it, which is frustrating since the information is already there!
  8. [R54] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Easy: It’s extremely easy to apply for jobs, update your resume & just be continuously updated on what’s a available in the area. Highly recommend
  9. [R11] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 5/5 · US Constantly crashes: Looking for work. This app crashes constantly. Three times in the last hour, leading to this review. Server jobs - 2 that are 22 miles away and have been posted for more than 30 days. I visited the restaurants; neither are hiring and don't know why the ads are there. App information is outdated and depressing.
  10. [R16] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Cant sign in on app: cloudflare is stuck in endless sign in loop -- updating few months later - still cant log in on the horrible app
  11. [R18] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US A little glitchy: When I originally joined Glassdoor I loved it but now the system seems a little glitchy and doesn’t provide nearly as much information as it did nearly a decade ago.
  12. [R34] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Unable to log in: I’ve tried logging in on both the website and app using both Google and manually entering my email and it still won’t let me log in. App is unusable.
  13. [R89] ZipRecruiter Job Search 5/5 · US Review: Like this platform it gives me a background and the user rating so for me it’s a five because I get good service
  14. [R1] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Sold out: Glass door has sold out the employees that expect honesty from fellow employees by allowing companies to delete negative reviews essentially turning a pier reviewed platform into another app shilling our data for corporate reputation washing.
  15. [R22] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US They delete bad reviews: Companies can pay to have bad reviews deleted. Completely dishonest
  16. [R57] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Scrubs reviews: If you leave honest reviews of companies on site, they are erased by mods without cause. Beware taking advice
  17. [R12] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 3/5 · US A BIT REPATIVE: I changed in my setting to stop receiving emails because I am working. But I still get emails. Still get repetitive emails of the same job posting. Granted I get daily emails, but I continue to get emails for the same jobs I have applied for and I get those jobs that are not in my line of work.
  18. [R10] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US Why be annoying?: I get reviews are important but that’s only the case when they are genuine. Asking me EVERY SINGLE TIME I do an action is a great way to win a one start review so here you go.
  19. [R72] ZipRecruiter Job Search 3/5 · US Constant emails: Every few hours I get an email suggesting a new job flooding my inbox. I have the notifications for “fresh jobs” and “great matches” turned off but still receive them. I still like the app and its contents but if this problem isnt fixed I will have to delete it
  20. [R76] ZipRecruiter Job Search 1/5 · US Pointless: It continue sends me suggestions and notifications, even though I didn’t request them. In addition, none of these are relevant to any of my searches. It also sends me emails stating that a company is interested in me. When reaching out to the companies, they’re clueless about me.
  21. [R61] ZipRecruiter Job Search 1/5 · US Awful: This app gives you recommendations that are completely irrelevant to your searches and will even recommend jobs one at a time and they will be jobs for places that are a 3 or 4 day drive from your location. It’s ridiculous.
  22. [R103] ZipRecruiter Job Search 1/5 · US Jobs to far and not relevant to experience: It always give recommendations on jobs an hour plus away as week as jobs not even in your experience it wouldn’t be so bad if you search a job but now it always changes your location so your looking at jobs in a city 2 hours away

  24. [R31] Glassdoor | Jobs & Careers 1/5 · US AI Ruined It: Who thought it would be a good idea to implement AI??? Not everything needs AI. I can’t even edit my profile without having to do an ai prompt. This makes the process longer with unnecessary steps!

  27. [R78] ZipRecruiter Job Search 3/5 · US It’s been great. Recently errors: I’ve been using this app for a few years, and it’s been great. Lately all I get are error messages. I hope it gets fixed soon.
