		<description>I am glad the Ladder is doing well, but unfortunately, it is at the expensive of the unemployed and suffering.

An article was written in 2007 objecting to the fact that when you initially look at the Ladder.com it appears you can sign up and apply for jobs for free, however this is not the case.  You can view a part of one or 2 jobs, but when you see a job  you are really interested in, then you are forced to join for $30.00 per month, which is taken out of your account, which you forget until you see your bank account dwindle when you are already unemployed. this is a great buren to the unemployed.

While they do seem to have some good jobs advertised on TheLadders.com, I don´t think this is a good business practice and is hurtful to the unemployed who are already in a bad situation.

Therefore, while I am most happy your company is successful, it should not use the unemployed, who cannot afford it in this manner.

To me, sending these applications through the Internet feels as if I am paying money and my applications are going to outerspace to be discarded.

This is not a goood image for the Internet recruiting companies, and perhaps you can think of a better way.  For example, charge the employers like a normal recruiting company and then have more restrive pointed advertising where people could actually get jobs.

Or at least give the option to pay and not hide job information unless we pay for it; also if yo are doing well, increase your advertising and make up the cost in advertising rather than unemployed persons.</description>
