The Ladders is an important part of my ongoing professional networking. Although I have not yet ponied up for the paid service, that will be my first action next time a downturn threatens unemployment. My Ladders listing and the resulting recruiter calls are a sort of insurance, though no substitute for nurturing a personal network of former colleagues. My recent job change opportunity came from my habit of staying in touch with the managers I've admired. Six months ago, I took an old project manager to lunch whose best friend, it turns out, phoned me a month ago to introduce himself and to invite me to interview; he is now my new boss at a Fortune 200 name you know. Following advice posted by The Ladders helps develop the habits of successful people, including this seasoned electrical engineer with a really likable new boss.

I find the website helpful, but at times you get inundated with jobs you are not looking for. But overall they are very good and give you lots of information that you could use to help your job search.

Enables the individual to receive job postings based on their career level and specific job titles without being bogged down by irrelevant positions. The Ladders also provides useful tips in conducting a job search and let's not forget about the inside track of positions that internal and external recruiters are trying to fill.

I love that on The Ladders you are able to seek out the exact position that you are interested in and many of them make it very easy with a "one click" process for applying.

Ladders is the best hands down.

I haven't paid for the upgrade and none of the free ones have panned out

This is a great site, but due to cost to simply look at details of jobs that might be of interest to the casual job seeker, I would avoid becoming a paying client until such time I was completely out of work.

I like that the Ladders gives you a "freebie" once in a while but I have never had any luck with the site. Even when I was a paying customer, I never got any solid leads. I would get notification of recruiter activity or that they may have opened my application/resume but it literally went no further than that.They had amazing job postings but since I never received feedback I am not sure if they were real. Was hugely disappointed, which is why I would never pay for access again.
