LaddersReviews of theladders.com

The Ladders is a great site but when you have to compete with millions of other people, with PHDs, Masters or Zero experience, it is tough. And My background is; Operations Manager/Plant Safety Director/ Environmental Manager, Environmental Compliance Specialist, Lead PM Mechanic, Power Plant Supervisor, Maintenance Superintendent, Project Safety, Mechanical Engineer / commissioning specialist, Plant Maintenance Superintendent, Mining, Construction manager. I've been waiting since March to be hired. Using another site - I was offered a job as a maintenance superintendent for 14.00 hour, drive 60 miles each way AND they wanted me to provide $50,000 in tools for the men to use, no mileage or benefits, I made 14.00 hour in 1986 - 29 years ago. Ladders - bring on the decent jobs!

I have been using the ladders for about 6 months now with good success.

The Ladders offers careers not jobs.

I appreciate the review feedback of my job application submissions from The Ladders. I always receive very honest feedback from the website.

There are lot of good job posted however I am not sure all of them are real or current. I had known few comany job was posted for and call them to verify. I found that they were not current. One of them was actually real job.

The Ladders provides a good service, but simply don't go beyond the borders of the US. Oh, there are a few international jobs, but they in no way reflect the breadth of the market out there. In expanding into foreign markets, it would be a mistake to start from scratch. There are already numerous providers out there who have limited vision, but good local coverage. Some sort of B2B action would be the right way to go.

Being specific is key, get the most results for you! Easy to use and friendly ☺

Though the Ladders website does have some nice features its still lacks focus on searches. Ex. Even though I use the Ladders template on what to search for i.e. Manufacturing Engineer or Quality Manager or (Adjective) Director I still end up getting emails and job leads that do not tie in to the desired input. I'm getting IT Technician positions or Programming Engineer positions because Quality or Engineer are key words. I understand it to provide a wide audience in review, but then what is the point of entering a specific job title if you just get filtered similar to other job search sites. A more consistence "one-click" application feature would be great similar to zip-recruiter. Can't stand sites that just "move" you to host sites to fill out a login screen you will NEVER revisit or one that you will forget the password too because they require 12 characters with different cap sizes and configurations. Hackers already have a job and are not interested in gaining access to apply for one. I do love to see what other job seekers I'm up against for a position and the salary range, which gives me a nice idea what value a position may have in general. Still learning and fumbling my way around so it may actually be better than this initial impression. Ask me in 1-3 months after I land a position if it was worth it. That is the true test.
