Now, there's no doubt that things have gotten tougher, but even when the economy is rough, most hires are replacement hires.
FOX News came by TheLadders.com headquarters this past Friday and broadcast live throughout the day from our Manhattan location:
We're gratified by the attention that media such as Fox, Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have focused on us. I think it shows how TheLadders' job-search model is different and better than those "other guys." Why?
Because when you let anybody apply to a job, guess what? Everybody does.
And recruiters have learned that that is a big waste of time.
So smart companies and recruiters turn to the TheLadders.com. Why?
Because job seekers pay to join the community, and every job, job seeker and recruiter is hand-screened by a real person in our New York offices. And that makes our site a better place for them to spend their time hunting for the right candidate for their job. It's working and that is why the word is spreading. ...
By the way, Readers, here's some interesting trivia for you – if you look out the windows behind the FOX anchor, you can see the Hudson River, where Captain Sullenberger and Flight 1549 floated by our office windows this past January! You know, some things you'd never expect to see, and a plane floating down the river is sure one of them!
Have a great week, folks ...
Warmest regards,
