Glassdoor, the jobs listings website that lets employees rate their bosses, has hired a chief financial officer, potentially setting up an initial public offering of the company down the line.
The start-up planned to announce on Thursday that it had hired Adam C. Spiegel, who most recently held the chief financial officer position at the RPX Corporation and was previously an investment banker.
Hiring a chief financial officer is often one of the big steps that a company takes before it goes public. The game maker Zynga, for instance, hired one about a year before it went public.
The appointment comes just over a month after Glassdoor raised $50 million in new financing, led by Tiger Global Management, that nearly doubled its total fund-raising to $93 million.
Since opening for business in 2008, Glassdoor has collected 22 million members and 6 million pieces of content provided by workers, including company reviews and salary reports.
