Question 2

Glassdoor reviews that contradict a company's EVP are best handled by ethical recruiters by:

Accepted Answer

Acknowledging the feedback to candidates and describing genuine improvement efforts

Transparent acknowledgment of criticism and evidence of improvement is more credible and ethical than attempting to suppress or manipulate reviews.

Question 3

The 'reason to believe' (RTB) component of an EVP serves to:

Accepted Answer

Supply specific evidence that substantiates each EVP claim with real proof points

RTBs convert broad EVP claims into credible, specific evidence — such as employee quotes, data, or programs — that candidates can trust.

Question 4

In an ethical employer branding framework, employee-generated content (EGC) is valuable because it:

Accepted Answer

Provides authentic third-party perspectives that candidates find more credible than corporate messaging

EGC carries higher trust because candidates view peer voices as unbiased, making it a powerful and ethical complement to official employer branding.

Question 5
