Monitoring and managing Glassdoor reviews
After you connect your Glassdoor profile(s), you can start monitoring and managing your Glassdoor review messages from the Reviews tab.
Managing
Let’s look at the different ways you might manage your Glassdoor review messages as a social media manager.
You’re trying to find ways to attract better talent to your organization. You might see a trend where lots of current and former employees complain about the work from home policy in their Glassdoor reviews.
As a social media manager, you can:
- Filter by star rating to see more trends in the negative reviews
- Tag the review messages with a WFH tag
- Export the Tag Report showing trends for messages with that tag OR search all reviews that contain WFH or Work from home to gauge the overall sentiment
You can take additional action like tagging reviews or marking them as complete
. You might also want to send reviews via email directly to your HR team if they require immediate attention by clicking
, and then Email message.
The email message also brings in additional metadata with the review to make it easy to send any problematic reviews over to your HR team.
Filtering
Hone-in on a specific date range, message status, profile and star rating to see the reviews you want to manage first. If you find yourself using the same filter sets multiple times, save your filter set as a Custom View to share with your team.
Note: Recommends or Does Not Recommend filters don’t work with your Glassdoor reviews. While it may seem that if a user submits a “recommends to work here” with their review that it would show up with this filter, know that this filter doesn’t pull in this information.
Replying
To reply to a review:
- Click
in the bottom-right corner of the review message. The reply screen appears.
- Enter your Job Title.
- Submit your reply. You can enter up to 5,000 characters. You can’t use any emojis.
-
Click Send.
Note: You can only add one reply per Glassdoor review.
You can view responses to your Glassdoor reviews in Sprout. If you don’t see any author attribution, this means the response was left in Glassdoor, not Sprout. Additionally, you won’t instantly see your responses appear in Glassdoor. It can take a few minutes or so for your response to appear.
You can also add a Saved Reply as a response to the review. To do this, click to open the Reply screen. Then, click
to choose a Saved Reply from your Asset Library. For more information about creating and managing Saved Replies, see this helpful how-to.
Searching
In the example in the Managing section, we looked at how a social media manager can find review messages that pertain to a certain topic. While you can narrow down your scope of review messages with filters, you might run into an instance where you’re searching for a particular keyword or want to see reviews left by a particular user. Enter your search terms to find these messages. To learn more about the ins and outs of searching messages in Sprout, see this helpful article.
