TheLadders is the biggest fraud on the internet. TheLadders apparently searches the web for jobs, and then pulls the job to its internet site (without the company's knowledge or consent), and has job hunters pay for jobs that are being advertised elsewhere on the internet. Many times, when you pay for a subscription with theLadders, the job to which you applied has already expired, but you don't know this until you pay the subscription with theLadders. Stay away from anything with TheLadders on it, because it is the biggest ripoff on the internet, and if you search on the internet, you will find the exact job being advertised by a reputable direct employer.

In two words, TheLadders is a fraud and Marc Cenedella is a liar. I don't say this to grandstand -- you can find my detailed comments on my web site and blog along with evidence and source material. Ladders states on its own web site and on other sites that it delivers "ONLY $100k+ JOBS. ONLY $100k+ CANDIDATES." That's not open to interpretation. Ladders customers have provided examples of cheaper jobs and cheaper candidates on the site. People who have paid Ladders for job listings that they have followed to interviews report that the employers had no idea the jobs were even on TheLadders -- much less that they were worth "$100k+". The only question left is, where is the U.S. Attorney's office? Kudos to Toby for expressing his ire. The job board industry is doing itself a disservice by quietly pretending Ladders is a legitimate business and not filing charges. TheLadders is not your competition. It's your albatross. If you run a job board, TheLadders is killing your company's reputation by association. And it's wasting your investors' money. How about a little self-policing, and coordinated litigation? The best way to build your business is to start cleaning up your industry. Toby was rather mild in his indictment of TheLadders. In two words, TheLadders is a fraud and Marc Cenedella is a liar.
