You're #1!

Well, folks, I told you last week that Christmas Day is not the day to be hunting for jobs.

Well, today IS the day to get your job hunt energized for a new role.

It's the first day of the year, and the first thing on your mind should be taking advantage of the tremendous success you've created here at TheLadders.com.

Recruiters tell us over and over that TheLadders.com is their #1 source for $100k+ candidates. Back in September, we asked Harris Interactive® to do a third-party study of high-end recruiters who actively use TheLadders.com to find candidates*. Here's what we learned:

• 78% of our recruiters consider TheLadders.com one of their top resources or first choice for senior talent.
• 70% of recruiters who use TheLadders.com and Monster, CareerBuilder or HotJobs say that the candidates they find here are better than candidates from those other boards.
• 44% of recruiters actively using TheLadders.com said they were extremely or very satisfied with us for their senior level recruiting, compared to just 25% who said the same for Monster.

And I want to thank you for being #1. Because of you, our wonderful subscribers, TheLadders.com has had great success in achieving our dream of a shorter, easier, more efficient, less painful job hunt.

Because of you, Readers, we recently surpassed 1 million subscribers to our $100k+ newsletters.

And because of you, we recently became the largest specialty employment site on the web!

Now don't let all this success get to your head, Readers. We still have to focus on the basics: a great resume, your completed bio on TheLadders.com, and thorough search of our more than 60,000 active jobs today.

With all that you've achieved, and your 90 friends here at TheLadders.com standing by ready to help you thrive, is there any doubt that 2007 is going to be your #1 year?

Happy hunting!
