Employer review platform linked but no rating or review count surfaced on homepage

This check looks for whether your linked employer review platform, such as Glassdoor or Comparably, has its actual rating or review count displayed on the page, rather than just a link out. A review platform is linked here, but no rating or review count is shown. Candidates check your rating before anything else, so a link without the number in view forces them to click away from your site to find out whether you're worth applying to. If your rating is strong, hiding it behind a click is a missed trust signal at the exact moment you have their attention. Your marketing and people team should embed your Glassdoor or Indeed rating widget directly on the careers page, and display it prominently if it's 4.0 or above. This takes about an hour to set up, and the rating can be updated manually each quarter or pulled automatically via API (a live data connection).
