NEW YORK (January 26, 2006) --TheLadders.com, the world´s leading online service for $100,000 jobs, today announced that more than 10,000 recruiters have enrolled to post jobs on the company´s flagship and industry-specific sites. Since June 2005, recruiter enrollment at TheLadders.com has more than doubled. As part of the company´s consumer-based business model, recruiters do not pay a fee to post jobs; instead, job seekers are charged a $25 monthly subscription fee to access TheLadders.com´s premium service. Combined with a large pool of pre-screened, top-quality candidates, more and more recruiters are turning to TheLadders.com as a reliable, targeted sourcing vehicle. "Given that TheLadders.com is focused on engaging top industry talent, I am receiving the resumes of candidates that match our openings much more closely than I see from most other sources," noted Heather Hamilton, staffing programs manager of Marketing Talent Acquisition at Microsoft Corporation. "By handling the preliminary filtering, TheLadders.com is helping me to reduce the noise involved with volume resume screening and find quality candidates more quickly." TheLadders.com President and CEO Marc Cenedella stated, "We saw tremendous growth in both our job seeker and recruiter memberships last year and, with the start of a new year and our increased focus on networking, we expect these rapid adoption rates to continue.
