TheLadders Blog

We’re excited to announce the launch of our new homepage for recruiters. The product, marketing and user experience teams here at TheLadders have been working hard to optimize our sites and services for professionals and recruiters alike. The new recruit.theladders.com is a big step toward putting the right professionals in the jobs that are right for them.

Not only does this new homepage ease the search process for employers and recruiters who are new to TheLadders, but it also makes it that much faster to match them with the right professionals for their jobs straight from the start. Our new design puts search first, allowing recruiters to dive right into Passport—our free recruitment solution—while providing them with a comprehensive chart of our other solutions and full suite of products. Staffing and HR pros can view product videos and even request a one-on-one demo with one of our account executives to see all the ways we can help them fill their open seats.

Our aim is to make it quick and easy for employers and recruiters to promote their jobs, advertise their brands and send updates to interested professionals. This makes it quick and easy for our job-seeking community to start connecting with the right recruiters and applying to the right jobs. Hear that sound? I think it might be the black hole shrinking.

At TheLadders, we’ve always believed strongly in the providing you with the right piece of career advice. After all, writing the perfect cover letter or asking the right questions in an interview can make all the difference in your job search.

You’ve always had access to our original and exclusive career advice on TheLadders.com, but in 2011, we decided to bring our advice right to you.

That meant Twitter, and @TheLadders.

It’s not just working, it’s crushing. We put a superstar copywriter, Kate Addicott, in charge, and @TheLadders now has over 20,000 followers! Not only have we been able to help our customers, but the relationships we’ve developed with job seekers, recruiters, employers and industry experts have been invaluable to us, too.

We hope you’re enjoying @TheLadders and all of our original career advice and job search content. You can check it out on our Twylah page.

Great work, Kate!

And if you’re not already, you should follow us on Twitter here.

We’re proud to announce the launch of TheLadders RecruitBlog! You’re obviously already familiar with TheBlog, your resource for everything going on inside TheLadders offices. The more we were discovering great stories from inside our company, the more we were realizing how much great content we had to share directly with the recruiting community. That’s why we’re starting RecruitBlog as a place to provide unique content specifically geared for recruiters and HR professionals. Here we’ll be able to share our favorite recruitment articles, whitepapers, event updates and interesting trends from around the web. Make sure to check back regularly to see what’s new as we’ll be updating often to bring you the latest in recruiting from TheLadders community and beyond.

“I LOVE the thrill of the hunt!” That sentiment might lead you to believe I’m a member of our Sales Team … FALSE! I am actually a Talent Specialist on our FitFinder team who truly enjoys applying my Boolean search skills to help the recruiters I work with discover what will hopefully be their next hire!

I personally work with 45 recruiters who’ve signed up with TheLadders and act as an extension of their recruiting activities as they look for job seekers like you. Here’s how it works: A recruiter is assigned a $100K+ position to fill, we have a quick call to review the job description and discuss any additional hiring needs I should know about, and then I set to work scouring our database for the best possible matches. Here’s how it works best: The more information recruiters provide with me about a job’s needs, the more honed my results can be.

Patty Garabedian is the Director of Talent Acquisition at Euro-Pro, one of my recruiters. This is what she had to say about one of my hunts …

“All [these candidates] look like good possibilities! I forwarded to [my] hiring manager, and we are actually bringing in two of the candidates that you presented – thank you!”

- Patty Garabedian, Euro-Pro

There are 34 other Talent Specialists just like me, who love the thrill of the hunt. With over 700 hunting expeditions on our agenda this week alone, we look forward to sharing more of our Wins in the future!
