What a Waste of Time

A few years ago, the Internet was useful.

There wasn't that much spam on it, so if you were looking for information on a topic, a person, or a job that was right for you, you could find it.

In those days, there was a certain allure to applying to jobs on the Web – and HR people felt it, too.

Back in 2001, when I was an SVP at HotJobs.com, employers thought that applicants from the Internet were a bit more savvy. In-touch. Attuned.

Today, for better or for worse, the Internet is huge. Enormous. Gigantic.

And it's quite a hassle trying to track down the right information about a place, or your old college buddy ... or especially a job that you just know you're perfect for. And that's messed up the job hunt.

With jobs spammed all over the Internet, there's no allure for job-seekers or employers: there's too much noise, too many false leads, and too much garbage out there.

And that's why we created TheLadders seven years ago: We wanted to make a place on the Internet that was safe for high-end job-seekers and appealing for the people who hire them. It's why we only let in high-end professionals making over $100,000 per year, and it's also why we reject jobs that pay less than $100,000.

We literally block job listings and return the money to companies that attempt to post jobs that pay $99,999 or less per year. That's because TheLadders.com is only for $100K+ professionals, and we'll do the surfing, sorting, and selecting for you.

The vast Internet can be a big waste of time for you. We want to make the precious few hours a week that you have for job-hunting as productive, easy, and fast for you as we possibly can. We'll delete the spam, block the bad recruiters, and only show you true, $100K+ jobs.

Your friends at TheLadders are here, working on your behalf, and rooting for you all the way.

Warmest regards,
