Ladders, Inc. is a United States-based company providing career news, advice, and tools and an online job search service. It launched listing only vetted job offers with annual salaries of $100,000 or more. On April 25, 2017, the company launched Ladders News, according to Poynter, a newsroom of about 10 that operates independently of the main company to produce daily journalism about the way work is changing around the world.[1]
History
Ladders was founded in July 2003, to fill a perceived void in the executive online job seeking market.[2]
Ladders seeks to make its listings more useful to employers seeking executive personnel by utilizing a reverse business model that caters to the high-end job seeker.
Operations and business model
Ladders is headquartered in New York,[3] job seekers pay a subscription fee in order to access postings in their field.[4]
When Ladders first launched, employers were able to post openings at no charge. However, as the company evolved, Ladders moved toward a subscription service for both employers and executive recruiters.[4]
