Online reviews help consumers make decisions about everything including where to eat, what to buy and how much to pay for goods and services. They're also increasingly a place job seekers turn in order to evaluate whether they want to work for a potential employer.
Most ex-workers say their reviews were honest, but according to the survey, roughly 10% of workers admitted to lying or stretching the truth in their review. Almost half of dishonest reviewers say they did so in order to damage the reputation of their former employer. That being said, Dobroski says job seekers should still do their own research on a potential employer.Online reviews give just a narrow scope of what it's like to work with a given company, says Domenica D'Ottavio, lead researcher for the Fractl study. Part of the reason why: People may be more likely to focus on negative experiences than positive ones.
According to the report, the areas ex-workers rated their former employers most negatively include bad management practices, a poor work environment, and high employee turnover. Companies may be especially incentivized to provide a better employee experience considering the tight labor market, where there are more open jobs than job seekers to fill them.
