Summary

Glassdoor's Manager of Recruiting Operations, Emily Sung, shares that her team is optimizing the hiring process and working more efficiently by partnering with Checkr to hire more fairly and quickly. The company has evolved from a one-sided reviews platform to a two-way conversation space where employees can share their experiences and connect with peers, managers, or leadership. Glassdoor's hiring philosophy is based on growing conservatively and pivoting as necessary, while prioritizing fairness and equity in the hiring process. They use Checkr's pre-hire assessment tools and fully-integrated background check process to reduce time-to-hire and increase the chances of hiring underrepresented groups. By integrating Checkr within their Greenhouse ATS, Glassdoor can send out background checks simultaneously with offer letters, maximizing efficiency and minimizing candidate hoops to jump through.
