Ladders, Inc. is a United States-based company providing career news, advice, and tools and an online job search service.[1] Their search service only lists vetted job offers with annual salaries of $100,000 or more.

History

Ladders was founded in July 2003 by current CEO Marc Cenedella to fill a perceived void in the executive online job-seeking market.[2]

In 2009, Ladders was the recipient of a Webby Award in the employment category. [3]

In 2017, Comscore data from January to May 2017 revealed Ladders, Inc., to be the fastest-growing jobs site in the U.S., based on sites with more than 1 million visitors and showing over 77 percent growth within the published time period [4]

On March 06, 2020, Ladders, Inc., was featured in a Washington Post article highlighting the decision of CEO Marc Cenedella to proactively put the company in a simulated Coronavirus lockdown. All employees were required to work remotely from their homes and apartments, in training for what was at the time only a potential future requirement for businesses in New York City.[5]

Operations and business model

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.

Ladders is headquartered in New York City, New York.[6] Job seekers pay a subscription fee in order to access postings in their field.[7]

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.[7]

Ladders News

On April 25, 2017, the company launched Ladders News, a newsroom that operates independently of the main company. Ladders News produces daily journalism about work-related topics and topics related to the future of work such as remote work, economic changes, and millennials in the workplace.[8]
