Leading executive jobs site TheLadders has struck a deal with global professional social network Viadeo to post its £50k plus a year top jobs onto the site.
The deal enables Viadeo’s 35m members to search and view over 10,000 executive jobs in the UK, as well as share and recommend them with their network. This represents a first step for The Ladders to ‘socialise’ its job adverts.
TheLadders works with 100s of recruiters listing thousands of jobs each month across every industry, in companies of all types and sizes. It only lists jobs that pay more than £50,000 per annum, including many C-level, VP, Director and Senior Manager roles.
“The great thing about posting jobs onto a site such as Viadeo is that you are reaching a very qualified and active audience,” said Jean-Michel Boujon, marketing director, TheLadders. “We have already been impressed by the volume and the quality of traffic sent to us by Viadeo.”
“This is a fantastic first step into socialising our executive jobs. Viadeo is a great platform for business with masses of potential and part of that offering has to be about employment opportunities. The Ladders is already a great place to find top jobs but this deal with Viadeo extends the reach considerably.”
TheLadders partnership will be the first of many new partnerships which Viadeo will announce this year.
Peter Crosby, chief sales operator of Viadeo commented:
“The Ladders is a great source of top executive jobs that strengthens Viadeo’s Career and Jobs page considerably. Our members are increasingly socialising jobs, making recommendations and sharing opportunities, not just in one country but across borders too. Recruitment is a key element of professional networks that helps drive other aspects of the site so the agreement with The Ladders is a big step in the development of Viadeo as the best business-friendly network.”
