Can You Use Glassdoor Without a Phone Number?

Yes. Glassdoor accounts are usually created with an email address or a Google or Apple sign-in, so you can browse and post reviews without a phone number.

How Glassdoor sign-up works

Glassdoor asks for an email address, or lets you continue with Google or Apple. A phone number is not normally part of sign-up. Some features may ask you to confirm your email, and some community features may ask you to confirm where you work.

What you can do with an account

• Read reviews, salaries and interview reports.
• Post anonymous reviews of employers.
• Save jobs and set job alerts.
• Join community discussions, which may need a work email check.

Anonymous reviews

Glassdoor shows reviews without your name. Still, details you write, such as a job title, team or unusual event, can make you identifiable to your employer. Keep reviews general if that matters to you, and avoid naming colleagues.

Work email checks

For some community spaces Glassdoor may ask for a work email to confirm your employer. This is separate from your sign-in email. Think about whether you are comfortable linking your work address before you add one.

Email address tips

Applying for jobs

Employers may ask for a phone number when you apply, because recruiters call candidates. That number goes to the employer with your application, not to your public profile. Give a number you will answer during the hiring process.

Locked out

If you lose access, use Forgot password with the email on the account. If you signed up with Google or Apple, sign in with that same method instead of a password.

Deleting a Glassdoor account

You can delete your account from the account settings page. Reviews you posted may stay on the site without your account attached, so edit or remove any you want gone before deleting.
