And how it stacks up to your talent competitors?
What about your company reputation?

Job seekers spend more than five time as on a site when they interact with bad reviews. They want complete information. They notice when there are no bad reviews and can become suspicious. They will assume that you are censoring feedback. Think about this – you are not losing job seekers by showing bad reviews – you’re steering them toward jobs and companies that won’t disappoint them.
You also only need bad reviews in moderation or risk damaging your brand.
