Goodbye endless forms: Ladders applies to jobs for you with new service

 Ladders, Inc., a leading professional careers site, gives time back to its users with a first-of-its-kind service, Apply4Me, which completes users’ applications on their behalf. Apply4Me eliminates repetitive, time-consuming data entry from the job application process by filling out applications for you. “This first-of-its-kind product transforms endless job applications to instant job applications,” said Ladders CEO Marc Cenedella.

Apply4Me trims about 18 minutes of data entry time per job application. When you consider that the typical job seeker applies to about 30 positions a month, this innovation saves the average applicant more than 9 hours monthly. Cenedella noted, “Ladders conducted surveys that showed professionals feel demoralized by repetitive Applicant Tracking System (ATS) data entry. With our long history of product innovation, we knew we could develop a solution.”

Michael Salamey, an HR professional, was one of the first people to test Apply4Me. He said, “This is a game changer. Apply4Me offloads the mind-numbing drudgery of typing in the same information over and over, and signing into every company career website, creating another new password and creating another profile you will never use again.” 

How Apply4Me Works

• Answer 17 simple questions just once. 
• When you find a job you want to apply for, simply tap “Apply4Me.”
• The Ladders team completes and sends your applications for you, typically on the same day.
• Interested employers contact you directly.
• You’ll receive emails summarizing your Apply4Me applications and responses.

How is Apply4Me Different?

Apply4Me is different from so-called “easy apply” applications because it truly is a one click service. Once you fill out your initial form, you need only click “Apply4Me” to submit your application.

Plus, Apply4Me employs a team of real job application experts, not AI, to ensure every application is filled out and submitted correctly. Cenedella noted, “This is vital. We know that resume parsing technologies meant to simplify the application process often lead to even more work as applicants have to go back through applications to correct AI errors. With Apply4Me’s personal touch, it’s like having a job search team working just for you. 

Apply4Me is included with Ladders premium memberships.
