Can Employers Remove Glassdoor Reviews?
Yes. Glassdoor removes reviews that break its Community Guidelines — and far more negative reviews break them than employers realise. ReviewsEraser reads the review against every rule that applies, builds the case and submits it through Glassdoor’s own process. Most Glassdoor reviews are removed within 96 hours (excluding weekends), at a fixed price per review, and if we cannot remove it you get a full refund.

We Remove Negative Glassdoor Reviews
Employee and interview reviews that drag your rating down and put candidates off — removed by our team, typically within 96 hours, with a 100% money-back guarantee.
Reviews that name your staff
Glassdoor does not allow naming or identifying anyone below C-suite level — managers, recruiters, team leads or colleagues.
Fake & non-employee reviews
Posted by people who never worked for you, competitors or someone using several accounts.
Duplicate & repeat posts
Glassdoor allows one review per person, per company, per year. A second review inside that window can go.
Confidential information leaked
Salary tables, client names, financials, code or R&D details shared in a review.
Profanity, threats & discrimination
Swearing, threats of violence and discriminatory language aimed at a person or a group.
Off-topic customer complaints
Product complaints posted in the employee review section — off-topic by Glassdoor’s own definition.
Coordinated & conflicted reviews
Waves of similar reviews after a layoff, and reviews written by friends, family or anyone with a conflict of interest.
Reviews on the wrong profile
Reviews describing a different company, a former brand or a divested unit posted on your profile.
Reviews Glassdoor refused to remove
We check every review free. If we take your order and cannot remove it, you receive a full refund.
What’s Wrong With Your Glassdoor Review?
Pick the option that fits best to see how we remove it. It takes five seconds.
Reviews that name or identify staff
Glassdoor does not allow naming or identifying individuals outside C-suite level. It is decided on the text alone — whether or not the criticism is fair — which makes it the strongest removal ground there is.
Fake & non-employee reviews
We build the case on details in the review that do not match your company — roles, locations, dates and processes — together with account and posting signals, and manage the report until it is removed.
Duplicate & repeat reviews
Glassdoor allows one review per person, per company, per year. A second review inside that window, or posts from several accounts, is a breach with dates attached.
Confidential & proprietary information
Salary bands, client lists, financials, budgets, code and R&D details are named categories. We quote the passage, match it to the rule and keep the submission precise.
Profanity, threats & discriminatory language
Prohibited outright and decided on the text alone — usually among the fastest Glassdoor reviews to remove.
Coordinated or conflicted reviews
Timing clusters, matching phrasing and account history show coordinated posting. We report the whole wave together instead of one review at a time.
Off-topic & product-only reviews
A complaint about your product posted as an employee review is off-topic by Glassdoor’s own definition — often missed, and often straightforward.
Not sure which rule it breaks?
Most damaging Glassdoor reviews break at least one guideline. Send us the link and we will tell you, free of charge, how we will remove it.

Every route ends the same way: removed within 96 hours (excluding weekends), or your money back.

What Glassdoor Review Removal Looks Like
Before and after: the review is gone and Glassdoor shows “no longer available”. Client details are never shown.
The Naming Rule: Why “Outside the C-Suite” Decides More Glassdoor Cases Than Anything Else
Glassdoor does not permit the naming or identifying of individuals outside C-suite level executives. A review calling your operations manager incompetent is an opinion — but if it names her, it breaks a rule whether the opinion is fair or not. The moderator only has to read the name.
- Only the top tier may be namedChief executives and equivalent founders, owners and presidents. Everyone below that line is protected.
- “Identifying” is wider than naming“The only woman on the finance team” identifies someone just as clearly as a name.
- It applies to praise tooA glowing review naming a junior employee breaks the same rule — useful when a review looks written in-house.
- It is decided on the textNo investigation and no evidence from you, which is why these cases tend to resolve fastest.

Old & outdated reviews
Glassdoor does not remove reviews for age — but an old review that breaks a rule can still come down.
Every Reason a Glassdoor Review Can Be Removed
| What the review does | Guideline it breaks | What proves it |
|---|---|---|
| Names a manager, recruiter or colleague | Naming or identifying individuals outside the C-suite | The review text itself |
| Written by someone who never worked for you | Fraud and fabricated content | Details that do not match your company, plus account signals |
| Fake or AI-generated review | Inauthentic content and fake accounts | Account history, wording patterns and timing |
| Part of a wave after layoffs or a dispute | Coordinated rating manipulation | Timing clusters and matching phrasing across accounts |
| Second review from the same person this year | One review, per employer, per year | Posting dates and writing patterns |
| Written by HR, management, friends or family | Conflict of interest | Account history, timing and phrasing |
| Contains swearing or a threat | Profanity and threats of violence | The review text itself |
| Targets a race, gender, age or other group | Discriminatory language | The review text itself |
| Quotes salaries, code, clients or financials | Confidential and proprietary information | The named categories in the review |
| Includes an email address or phone number | Contact information and self-identification | The review text itself |
| Plugs another employer or drops a link | Advertising and unrelated content | The link or promotional passage |
| Complains about your product, not the job | Off-topic and product-only content | The review read against its purpose |
| Describes a company that is not yours | Wrong employer profile | Details that do not match your operation |
Based on Glassdoor’s Community Guidelines and Help Center.
What Glassdoor Will — and Won’t — Remove
Glassdoor decides every case against its own Community Guidelines, not against how fair a review feels. This is the line it draws.
| Glassdoor won’t remove | Glassdoor removes | |
|---|---|---|
| People | Harsh opinions about your named CEO or other C-suite executives | Reviews that name or identify employees below C-suite level |
| Accuracy | Reviews you simply disagree with — Glassdoor does not referee factual disputes | Reviews that are clearly false based on reliable, independent information |
| Who posted it | Low star ratings from genuine current or former employees | Fake reviews, reviews from people who never worked or interviewed with you, and duplicate reviews |
| Content | Generic criticism of pay, culture, management or work–life balance | Confidential business information, threats, hate speech, harassment and off-topic posts |
| Timing | Reviews simply because they are old — Glassdoor does not remove or archive by age | Reviews about a job or interview more than five years old when posted |
| Payment | Any review in exchange for payment, advertising or an employer account — removal is never for sale | Incentivised or conflict-of-interest reviews posted to game a rating |
| Your profile | Your company profile — it stays even if you cancel your free employer account | Reviews posted on the wrong company’s profile |

Glassdoor Review Flagging, Explained in 30 Seconds
What happens after a review is flagged — and why the first flag matters most.
Getting the first submission right is the job — let our team build it for you.
How to Flag a Glassdoor Review Yourself, Step by Step
Employers can flag a review for free. Here is the process — and where most flags go wrong.
- 1
Open the Employer Center
Sign in to your free Glassdoor employer account and open Reviews → Employee or Interview reviews.
- 2
Flag the review
Click the flag icon under the review, or use Report from the review’s menu on your public profile.
- 3
Name the rule, quote the words
Pick the matching reason, quote the exact phrase that breaks it and send. Arguing that the review is unfair will not work.
The explanation box is short and the same review can only be flagged so often — so the first flag matters. Let our team write it for you.
How to Remove a Glassdoor Review: Flag It Yourself or Use ReviewsEraser
Here is how flagging a review yourself compares with having ReviewsEraser remove it.
| Flagging it yourself | ReviewsEraser | |
|---|---|---|
| Can you delete it? | No — employers cannot delete Glassdoor reviews. Only the reviewer or Glassdoor can remove them | Yes — we get the review removed for you |
| Choosing the ground | You read the guidelines and pick one reason | Every applicable guideline identified and cited |
| Writing the flag | Easy to argue the review is unfair — which Glassdoor will not act on | The offending words quoted and matched to the rule, within the limit |
| Who does the work | Your HR team, alongside everything else | Your dedicated removal manager, end to end |
| If it does not work | The review stays, and the flag is used up | Full refund under our money-back guarantee |
| Cost | Free, but costs your team’s time | Fixed price per review, paid securely at checkout |
Glassdoor Declined Your Flag? We Can Still Remove It.
Flags are usually declined because they argue the review is unfair or untrue — Glassdoor stays neutral in factual disputes — not because the review is allowed to stay. Send us the link and we will take it from there.
- Fairness argued, rule not citedGlassdoor does not fact-check reviews. We match the review to the guideline it actually breaks.
- Only one ground raisedMost removable reviews break more than one rule. We cite every one.
- Reviews flagged one by oneCoordinated posting is easier to prove as a pattern. We report the whole wave together.
- No follow-upYour removal manager follows the case through until the review is gone — or you get a full refund.
Five Moves That Create Legal Exposure for Employers
The reviewer is a current or former employee, so the obvious instincts sit inside employment and consumer-protection law. Avoid these.
Contacting the reviewer
The FTC’s rule on consumer reviews prohibits threats or intimidation to remove a negative review. A “friendly” request from an ex-employer rarely reads as friendly.
Sending a legal threat letter
An unfounded threat is itself the risk — and a screenshot of it travels further than the review ever would.
Asking staff for good reviews
Cherry-picking happy employees, pressure through managers or any reward can get reviews removed and trigger a public alert on your profile.
Relying on a non-disparagement clause
Enforceability varies by jurisdiction — and Glassdoor will not remove a review for breaching your agreement.
Naming or guessing the reviewer
Glassdoor prohibits naming the reviewer in a response. Guess wrong and you have accused the wrong person in writing.
The safe route
Build the case on Glassdoor’s own rules and let Glassdoor act. It is also the route that works.
General information, not legal advice. Where a review contains a specific false statement of fact, speak to a lawyer in the right jurisdiction.
Can You Sue Over a Glassdoor Review or Unmask the Reviewer?
It is the first question many employers ask. Legal routes exist, but they are slow, public and expensive — and none of them takes the review down on its own.
Suing Glassdoor
In the US, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects Glassdoor as the host of user content, so claims against Glassdoor over what an employee wrote rarely succeed.
Unmasking the reviewer
Glassdoor defends reviewer anonymity and generally discloses identity only under a court order, usually after a “John Doe” lawsuit — and courts weigh free-speech protections first.
Suing for defamation
A claim needs a false statement of fact, not opinion. “Toxic management” is opinion; an invented accusation of fraud may not be. In the UK a company must also show serious financial loss.
Why removal comes first
A guideline-based removal solves the real problem — the review being visible — in days, without court costs or a public record that draws more attention.
In the UK, identity is usually sought through a Norwich Pharmacal order, and the Defamation Act 2013 sets a serious-harm threshold. Always take legal advice before any claim — and check first whether the review simply breaks a guideline.

Glassdoor Review Removal After the Indeed Merger — and in AI Search
Two changes most Glassdoor guides have not caught up with yet.
Glassdoor is now part of Indeed
Glassdoor merged into Indeed on 1 July 2026. The Glassdoor brand, its profiles and its Community Guidelines continue, reviews stay anonymous, and the site now runs under Indeed’s terms and privacy policy. The removal grounds have not changed.
AI answers quote Glassdoor
Candidates now ask AI assistants “what is it like to work at…”. The answer is built from Glassdoor text — without your rating or your replies — so the sharpest negative review is the line most likely to be repeated.
It shows up in Google too
Glassdoor reviews appear under your company name in search results, in front of every candidate before they open your careers page.
Removal at source is the fix
A public reply helps people who reach your profile. Only removal takes a review out of what search engines and AI tools can quote.
Not Every Glassdoor Review Needs Removing
We tell you honestly which option fits each review.
Remove
The review breaks a guideline — it names someone, leaks confidential material, contains prohibited content, is off-topic, fake or a duplicate.
Respond
Genuine criticism, harshly put but within the rules. Reply once, publicly, from a named senior person, addressing the substance. Never name the reviewer or threaten action.
Leave it
An old, minor review already buried beneath better ones. Drawing attention to it helps nobody.

A wave of similar reviews in a short window has the hallmarks of coordinated posting.
Multi-location & franchise brands
One location’s reviews dragging down the whole brand’s shared profile.
Companies raising, selling or listing
Diligence teams read Glassdoor. Clear guideline-breaching reviews before they become a question in the room.
Rebranded & acquired companies
Reviews left over from a former name, a divested unit or a previous owner.

Glassdoor Review Removal: Your Questions Answered
Can employers remove Glassdoor reviews?
Employers cannot delete Glassdoor reviews themselves, but reviews that break Glassdoor’s Community Guidelines can be removed by Glassdoor. ReviewsEraser builds and submits the case for you. Most reviews are removed within 96 hours, and you get a full refund if we cannot remove the review.
Which Glassdoor reviews can ReviewsEraser.com remove?
Every type of Glassdoor content that breaks Glassdoor’s Community Guidelines: company and employee reviews, interview reviews, salary and benefits submissions, Community posts and comments, photos and reviews posted on the wrong profile. That includes reviews that name staff below C-suite level, fake, AI-generated or non-employee reviews, coordinated waves, duplicates, conflicted reviews, confidential information leaks, profanity, threats, discriminatory language, contact details, adverts and off-topic product complaints.
Can a Glassdoor review be removed for naming a manager?
Yes. Glassdoor does not allow the naming or identifying of individuals outside C-suite level executives. A review that names or clearly identifies a manager, recruiter or colleague breaks this rule whether or not the criticism is fair.
Can you remove a fake Glassdoor review from someone who never worked for us?
Yes. We build the case on details in the review that do not match your company — roles, locations, dates and processes — together with account and posting signals, and manage the report until it is removed.
How long does Glassdoor review removal take?
Most Glassdoor reviews are removed within 96 hours (excluding weekends). Glassdoor says it responds to flagged content within 72 business hours, and your removal manager keeps you updated throughout.
How much does Glassdoor review removal cost?
A fixed price per review, paid securely at checkout. There is no contract and no monthly fee, and if we cannot remove the review you receive a full refund.
Will the reviewer know the review was removed?
Glassdoor notifies the author if their review is removed, as it does for any removal. We never contact the reviewer, never try to identify them and never post anything publicly.
Can you find out who wrote a Glassdoor review?
No, and we do not try. Glassdoor resists requests to reveal reviewers and has protected anonymity in many court cases. Trying to unmask a reviewer is slow, public and creates legal risk — removal does not require knowing who wrote it.
What if Glassdoor already declined my flag?
We can still help. Flags are usually declined because they argue the review is unfair or untrue instead of citing the guideline it breaks. We identify every applicable rule and submit a precise case.
Can a removed Glassdoor review come back?
A removed review can be edited and resubmitted within 30 days. If it returns in a form that still breaks the rules, we reassess it and act again.
Can you remove Glassdoor interview reviews?
Yes. Interview reviews follow the same Community Guidelines as employee reviews, and we remove those that break them.
Can you remove several Glassdoor reviews at once?
Yes. Place one order per review link, or message us on WhatsApp and your removal manager will handle every review — including a coordinated wave — in a single project.
Should I ask employees to post positive Glassdoor reviews instead?
Only broadly and honestly. Glassdoor prohibits cherry-picking happy employees, pressure through managers and any reward, and incentivised reviews can be removed and lead to a public alert on your profile.
Did the Indeed merger change Glassdoor review removal?
Glassdoor merged into Indeed on 1 July 2026, but the Glassdoor brand, its profiles and its Community Guidelines continue and reviews stay anonymous. The grounds for removing a review have not changed.
Is Glassdoor review removal legal?
Yes. We only use Glassdoor’s own reporting process and its published Community Guidelines. We never hack accounts, pay Glassdoor or pressure reviewers.
Do you need my Glassdoor employer login?
No. We only need the public link to the review or your company profile.
Is my information safe?
Yes. Checkout is protected by 256-bit SSL, we never store card details, and your details are used only by your removal manager under strict NDA.
Does Glassdoor remove negative reviews?
Not for being negative. Glassdoor removes reviews that break its Community Guidelines — for example by naming staff below executive level, leaking confidential information, using abusive language or being fake, duplicated or off-topic. Many negative reviews do break at least one of these rules.
Can I pay Glassdoor to remove a review?
No. Glassdoor does not remove reviews for payment, including for its paying recruiting clients. Any service that claims a special relationship with Glassdoor should be avoided.
Does Glassdoor remove old reviews?
Glassdoor does not remove or archive reviews because of their age. New reviews must relate to a job or interview from the last five years, and an old review can still be removed if it breaks a guideline.
Can I delete my company’s Glassdoor profile?
No. Cancelling a free employer account removes your employer tools, not your company profile or its reviews. Glassdoor only considers removing profiles of companies that have been dissolved.
How do I flag a Glassdoor review?
Sign in to your free Glassdoor employer account, open Reviews, click the flag icon under the review, choose the reason, quote the words that break the guideline and send. Glassdoor says it responds within 72 business hours.
How should I respond to a negative Glassdoor review?
Reply once, from a named senior person: thank the reviewer, acknowledge the issue, mention one concrete change and offer a direct contact. Never name the reviewer, argue the facts or threaten action.
Do you remove reviews on other platforms too?
Yes — including Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, YouTube, Yelp, Tripadvisor and Indeed.
Can I sue Glassdoor over a negative review?
Rarely with success. In the US, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects Glassdoor as the host of user content. Claims, where they exist, are usually against the reviewer — and they are slow, costly and public.
Can a court make Glassdoor reveal who wrote a review?
Sometimes. Glassdoor defends reviewer anonymity and generally discloses identity only under a court order, usually after a “John Doe” lawsuit in the US or a Norwich Pharmacal order in the UK. Unmasking does not remove the review.
Does Glassdoor verify that reviewers really worked for us?
Glassdoor does not ask reviewers for proof of employment. It relies on account checks, automated filters and human moderators, which is why fake reviews from people who never worked for you still get through — and why they are removable.
Can GDPR be used to remove a Glassdoor review?
A company cannot use GDPR to remove criticism of the business. But where a review names or identifies an individual and shares their personal data, that person may have rights under UK GDPR or EU GDPR, and the review usually breaks Glassdoor’s naming rule too.
Do you remove Glassdoor reviews outside the US?
Yes. Glassdoor applies the same Community Guidelines on every country site, and we remove reviews on glassdoor.com, glassdoor.co.uk, glassdoor.ca, glassdoor.com.au, glassdoor.co.in, glassdoor.de and every other Glassdoor domain.
What will Glassdoor never remove?
Genuine opinions within the rules, low star ratings from real employees, reviews simply because they are old, criticism of named C-suite executives, and your company profile itself. Removal is never available for payment or advertising.
Review Removal on Other Platforms
We remove damaging reviews and content on every major platform.
