They’ve been propped up by irresponsible HR managers who waste corporate funds, and by “recruiting industry” shills who’ve been feeding off TheLadders’ nipple for years. When are the “experts” going to stop pretending that the loud cries of fraud from Ladders’ customers (employers and job hunters) don’t matter? As for the rationalizations that Cenedella and Douzet offer for turning their little racket into just another job board… I hear there’s a couple of jobs for snakeoil salesmen over at JobFox… The pay is about $100k+, or maybe it’s $15k, or $15/month… All that left is a state attorney general’s investigation.

The first thing I thought was that $40K is entry level in most professional positions (i.e. Software, Sales, Healthcare etc.). So how are they different than the general boards?

I know the weekly alerts that I subscribed to (research, of course) contain listings for titles that tend to barely pay $70k.

And, let’s not forget the so-called exclusivity of postings… ummm, yeah, not so much!

Sandra, you nailed it on the “canned resume” remark. Absolutely disgusting that anyone would charge that much $ for the results produced. Terrible 1982 resume templates with sloppy formatting, poorly written and overly wordy content.

Resume / career certifications up the ying-yang don’t prove competence in effective or current techniques. Need examples: check the websites of those boasting about their creds – my 7th grade niece could put together a resume or cover letter like that!

UGGGHHH. I’ve had so many job seekers contact me due to their embarrassment and disappointment for investing in those paid services only to find out they were swindled by slick ads and empty promises.

The 100K jobseekers got wise. It will be interesting to see how those 400 kids a few years out of school determine the difference between a 40K job and a 60K job.

The Circus Soleil has now become a sideshow. Spamarama. Hang on the cost for recruiters is about to come down for access.
But think of the expanded base of suckers this will include to tap for the 800 dollar canned resume. Methinks the folks at this salary level do not comprende caveat emptor and tend to be more vocal when they think they got bilked.

Wonder what kind of commercial they will come up with to woo the 40K job seeker. Build the database boys and sell it fast. Flash for the Ladders. 40K for a college grad is entry level or below.

Jetison of a Raison d’être type concept tends to portend M&A action sometime soon, since once the concept is shot, the rest of the business seems ordinary (or worse)…. will be interesting to see how they fare….
