Leveraging category entry points for enhanced user engagement on Glassdoor

Glassdoor used to just be the place for employees to review their employers and now it’s so much more! As Glassdoor continues to increase the number of community touchpoints and bring community experiences to more surfaces on the website and in our app, it’s becoming increasingly important to understand the most important category entry points to hook users beyond the job-seeking moment.

A category entry point (CEP) analysis uncovers the key moments in the lives of our target audience that can be used to trigger a need and specific action on Glassdoor’s platform. We can leverage those moments to hook users, deepen engagement, create more compelling messages and discover whitespace opportunities for Glassdoor.

Explore Glassdoor’s strategic shift toward leveraging category entry points (CEPs) to elevate user engagement beyond conventional job-seeking interactions. Through rigorous analysis of the professional journey, our research uncovers pivotal moments ripe for enhancing user satisfaction, engagement and retention.
