HR-blog Recruitment Matters about Glassdoor in Nederland
It resulted in extensive, positive media coverage on launch day, parallel to news coverage in general media such as NOS op 3, EenVandaag, NRC, Telegraaf, AD, Volkskrant, and multiple business media such as Sprout and ManagementSite.
Partly due to our decision to treat bloggers as top journalists, we achieved twice as much website traffic in the first days than Glassdoor did during its launch in France. Considering the size of the countries, we were 8 times more successful than France and 3 times more successful than Germany.
"Tell our story to maximum impact"
Joe Wiggins (PR-manager Glassdoor) adds: "The Bex* team provided a dedicated level of service for the launch helping introduce us to key influencers and journalists and tell our story to maximum impact. We needed to reach a wide range of media and we achieved this. At the time, the Netherlands launch was the most successful launch that we had done, with a large spike in media coverage, site visits and new content for our site."
