The Problem

Get Glassdoor data, no workarounds needed

Web scraping Glassdoor is a pain. Here's what you typically deal with:

Blocked by anti-bot systems

Glassdoor uses sophisticated protection that blocks traditional scrapers and proxies.

Proxy management headaches

Rotating proxies, managing IP pools, and handling rate limits takes valuable engineering time.

Layout changes break your code

Glassdoor frequently updates their HTML structure, breaking your parsing logic.

JavaScript rendering issues

Modern sites require headless browsers, adding complexity and infrastructure costs.

Data cleaning nightmares

Raw HTML requires extensive parsing, normalization, and validation before it's usable.

Scaling is expensive

Running scraping infrastructure at scale requires DevOps expertise and significant costs.

Whether you're monitoring data or analyzing at scale, you shouldn't need a DevOps team for reliable results.

Makerhook handles all of this for you
