Recruiter Connections

Real Recruiters. Real Connections. Real Jobs.

Want to find a high quality job? Connecting with a recruiter may be your best opportunity.

In addition to searching for $100k+ jobs, you can establish personal connections with recruiters looking to fill current or future open positions. Since many high-level jobs aren�t posted online, recruiter contacts help you find out about opportunities you�d otherwise never know about.

You can find recruiters and recruiters can find you.

We have over 30,000 of the nation�s top recruiters using our service to find qualified candidates. They come to TheLadders.com because they know that our members are the most qualified, motivated $100k+ professionals around.

Let Recruiters Find You!
The first step to establishing contact with recruiters is to post your resume. When a recruiter or a hiring manager likes what s/he reads in your resume and wants to connect with you, we'll send you an email to let you know.

The only way for a recruiter on our network to contact you is through an email from our site. We�ve set it up this way to ensure safe, qualified networking. We act as an intermediary between job seekers and recruiters until you�ve both established that you�d be a good match.

Find a Recruiter!
As a member, you can search our database of recruiter profiles � the only recruiter database of its kind in the industry. Once you've found a recruiter or headhunter who specializes in your location or industry, send them your resume! Please note that only Premium (paid) members, our elite group of job seekers, can proactively contact recruiters in this way, though as a Basic (free) member, you can explore the listings to see what kind of recruiters are looking to hire.

How Can I Connect with Recruiters?
While as a Basic member you can search our recruiter listings and post a resume that is searchable by recruiters, you must be a Premium member to make contact with a recruiter.

Recruiters value our Premium members, because they are paying, highly qualified, motivated candidates who are invested in their job search. This sets them apart from less serious, less qualified applicants recruiters get form the �free� job boards. Our recruiters connect only with serious, qualified candidates and our Premium members connect with only the best of the best $100k+ recruiters.

What Type of Recruiters Use TheLadders.com?
All kinds! Just as we post jobs from Fortune 500�s to fledgling start-ups, TheLadders.com attracts recruiters and employers from every location and industry. Just as we hand-screen our job listings to ensure that they�re all legitimate $100k+ opportunities, all recruiters in our database are pre-screened and ready to hire. Our recruiters are from the worlds of corporate and executive recruiting. Corporate recruiters are in-house recruiters who work for a particular company, usually under the direction of the company�s HR department. Executive recruiters are third-party recruiters who work out-of-house for hiring companies. Connections with both types will be equally effective!

"From the start, I was very impressed with the resources available through your website. The job opportunities were timely and compatible with my salary and position requirements, and they were with companies that I was excited to work with. But it was the recruiter information that ultimately led me to my new job. I would encourage other job seekers to identify and reach out recruiters in their industry or target location. Good luck, and know that you made a wise choice selecting TheLadders.com to assist with your job search."

"I had been searching for a new position for about 1 � years. I had many solicitations, but nothing that I felt was the right fit for me and where I wanted to go. A recruiting firm contacted me through TheLadders.com and let me know that they had a position for me that they felt would be an excellent fit. After finding out more details about the position and location, I told myself this cannot be true. This is exactly what I�m looking for. The recruiting firm scheduled an interview for the position, but also told me I had heavy competition. After numerous screenings and interviews, I was told I got the position. I received the compensation I was looking for and the office is located 7 miles from my home!"
