Very unprofessional liar of a CEO (Jason) he says is his name but Google says CEO is Marc Cenedella. This company has been quietly slipping down hill for years with a pitiful 2.3 rating. The jobs the... See more

Saw a job advertised through Linkedin and responded to it. Within few hours I received at least 15 emails, several pressuring me to upgrade from basic account. I didn't even have time to really check... See more

Literally can't look at anything without it redirecting me to buy more stuff that I don't want. Can't see all the options in the filters because they're blocked by pop ups to buy more. Can't click on... See more

Great site's consumer interface makes applying for jobs easier

Great site's consumer interface makes applying for jobs easier and keeps you informed of recruiters and / or companies interaction with your documents be it your profile on the site and / or the job application documents.
The only (big) negative is that in all the years I have applied to jobs via The Ladders I have never gotten hired by anyone.

Helpful as a job aggregator, difficult for little else unless you are in IT or Finance

Job aggregator from other sites, with some additional listings from recruiters thrown in. Difficult to justify spending $ to be a premium member over the long-term unless you are in a role constantly sought out by executive recruiters. Wish site had more customizable search functions, right now limited by broad categories that often result in large # of search results with irrelevant positions.

Good site but job matches could be better.

The Ladders articles and resume advice are excellent. Job matches could be better. The "Industries" selector under job preferences doesn't remember my choices. I also get jobs for Java positions and the word "Java" does not appear anywhere in my resume. How about a skill selector to list skills?

Valued Online Job Search Service

TheLadders is a valued online job search service. The search tools make setting open position alerts easy. Applying for positions is straight forward and efficient. The submission status tracking feature is helpful in monitoring review progress. A great overall service.

The Ladder as a search engine for top jobs.

I just got started using the Ladder, I have been emailed good tips and have and some calls on good positions. Hopefully I will get interviews from them. It seems as if there are higher paying jobs available on this site.

The Ladders

I've used "The Ladders" on and off for several years. Their GUI is one of the most user-friendly. It's helpful to see info of the competition that is applying for the position that I'm interested. They provide a specific cover letter box per each job posting, so I can briefly provide unique details per each job posting. Definitely worth the fee because ease of use makes the application quick, so a good usage of my time.

Great service offerings, but not quite mature

I enjoy the potential in the offerings provided by TheLadders, but the tech behind them is not mature enough, causing reduced confidence. The competition reports for a job are handy, but are unreliable at best. After applying for several jobs through the site, I have seen that your system does not register the fact that I applied, showing "No one has applied for this position yet". This leads me to distrust the data integrity of this feature. It is important for you to overcome this issue as your competition has begun providing the analysis and reporting features you offer, but they appear to work better, and they have yet to charge for them. I am seeing the same jobs you advertise appearing on indeed or careerbuilder, so what is going to keep me as a satisfied, paying subscriber on TheLadders?

looks better than it is

Apply through the site doesn't seem to work. I am better off going to the companies website to apply cause no one ever checks their apps. would like to be able to filter the job search a little more, the jobs I am seeing in the auto and email list are often way off. I find more relevant jobs by manually searching.

Excellent job search tool

Ladders quickly identifies opportunities that fit your profile. Application status is communicated throughout the process as well. I trust the information I receive from the Ladders.

Good, but not perfect

The Ladders provides some good job listings that do not appear to be anywhere else on the web. Their site consistently works and has more search/matching criteria than some others. They regularly make me aware of postings that match the criteria.

Search by Company is a must

I have seen many TheLadders email announcing that some big companies are hiring and when you click on the link it will perform a text search with the name of the company instead of a filter by company name (with a real field) this makes that if MICROSOFT is offering jobs and you for MICROSOFT you will also get any other job with that WORD in the description
