TheLadders.com Upgrades to Premium Service Model for Recruiters

New York, NY ñ TheLadders.com, the worldís leading online marketplace for $100k jobs, today announced that it is upgrading its existing RecruitLadder service to an exclusively fee-based suite of online recruiting solutions.

Effective November 1, new recruiters signing up with TheLadders.com will be able to select from two comprehensive recruiting service options: RecruitLadder Premium and RecruitLadder Enterprise, both of which offer unlimited job posting and candidate database searching. Charter members of the RecruitLadder community will be offered varying levels of complimentary access to RecruitLadder Premium. This will give them the opportunity to transition to the new service and experience the powerful new solutions developed by TheLadders.com.

The movement to a premium service model reflects the increasing value that recruiters and human resources professionals place on a superior recruiting platform that can manage multiple searches and be integrated into existing talent management infrastructures. With job seeker membership at TheLadders.com topping 1.6 million, the new model gives recruiters access to the worldís largest pool of $100k talent, a highly desirable and valuable demographic.

ìTheLadders.com mission has always been to create a unique place where highly qualified talent can find the right jobs and the right recruiting professionals seeking their talent,î said Marc Cenedella, CEO and founder of TheLadders.com. ìAs weíve grown into the leading destination for this powerful group, the voice of the recruiter community has clearly said ëWe like this, we value this, and we want moreí. They want targeted search capabilities to find candidates who may not be actively looking; they want multi-user functionality; and they want it all built into their back-office infrastructure,î Cenedella added. ìNow, weíve taken these solutions to the next level with a paid search model that addresses a major pain point for the human capital industry, and will deliver real value to $100k job seekers and unmatched results to the people who fill those jobs. Itís a true win-win for everyone.î

The new RecruitLadder Premium and RecruitLadder Enterprise services will both be sold on a named user basis and will allow unlimited posting and searching; targeted searches; enhanced posting; search by zip-code and radius from job location; direct correspondence with multiple candidates; and candidate alerts. RecruitLadder Enterprise will also offer one-click OFCCP compliance, along with multi-user account management, employer branding options and a host of other corporate-level recruiting solutions.

ìTheLadders.com has reached the point where weíre seeing 25,000 qualified candidates enter our applicant pool every week. With hires from our site averaging $164,000 in annual compensation, this desirable demographic is impossible for recruiters to ignore,î said Stuart Kerr, TheLadders.com Vice President, Enterprise Business. ìThe launch of our new premium services is the culmination of extensive research and nationwide focus groups with recruiters and job seekers, and the investment of millions of dollars in technology and development to create the ultimate recruiting tool for the $100k market. It is truly a one-of-a-kind resource.î
