Recruiting on TheLadders
Well, I wanted to talk about this great site.
I posted an Account Manager position like a week ago or so. I received 8 applications in a week, 3 of which were a great match for the position, which is quite a lot for the tight profile they are looking for.
Some features and services I liked about TheLadders:
- It’s Free to post jobs on TheLadders.
- Customer Care service is absolutely amazing. I called them up and a person picked up, no machine, no menus, no routing, no hold, straight to a person. This guy was amazing, he tracked my account in 5 seconds, provided me with all the help I needed, approved my postings within the minutes (the website states that it can take up to 48 hours) and sent me off with a smile.
- Their candidate managing interface and applications managing interface is absolutely great. Incredibly comfortable, simple, fast, with no unnecesary features, lets me save resumes, accept or decline a person for a position, gives me a direct contact link. Cheers for the developers at TheLadders.
- The database is very well fed. I found matches for my positions straight out, and my posting was viewed by more than 80 relevant candidates in just 5 days.
I recommend and evangelize the use of TheLadders amongst my colleagues. Of course that it will bring in more results in certain areas than others, but there is no cost in posting a position and it takes something like 5 minutes, and you can always decline an application.

Another great site in jobx.com.au. It has good search functionality which lets you alter your search as you go. It is quick, free and has jobs from all of the major recruiters in Australia
