LinkedIn vs Glassdoor

LinkedIn and Glassdoor are different from many other job sites in that they
offer a specific focus on brand building. Both employers and job seekers
can use these sites to highlight their best features, connect with industry
professionals, and match candidates to open jobs.

But just because the sites share some features, doesn’t mean that they’re
interchangeable. Here’s how to use both sites as a tool to elevate your
professional standing, whether you’re an employer or a job seeker.

How To Write A Job Description To Attract Top Talent

Want to write a job description that attracts highly skilled candidates
who’ll get up to speed quickly and stay with your company for many
productive years? Get ready to be precise.

A good job description is a finely honed tool. A recruiter, manager, or
candidate should be able to read it and know exactly what a job requires
and entails. A typical job description, on the other hand, is an
everything-but-the-kitchen-sink affair. It might contain duties that are no
longer aligned with the position or expectations that are unreasonable or
even impossible. (Wanted: engineer with 10 years of experience in this

How To Hire Top Talent

Hiring top talent is worth the investment. According to research, high
performers are 400 times more productive than typical performers.

Excellence also inspires excellence. Top performers are likely to encourage
their teammates to do better every day. Their attitudes, behaviors, and
habits have a tendency to proliferate across an organization. One good hire
can add a lot more to your bottom line than several mediocre ones. And of
course, the cost of a bad hire is well known–lost productivity, wasted time
and effort, and a dismal effect on team morale.

But how can you find these excellent candidates and get them on board? It
starts by knowing what you’re looking for…and then looking in the right
places.
