Ladders Recruiter is a job site dedicated to helping employers find highly qualified and experienced candidates for positions that pay more than $100k. Over 92% of candidates who apply for jobs through Ladders have a bachelor's degree and earn an average yearly income of $149k.

While Canadian employers can post directly to the job board, Ladders also has a team of analysts who find relevant jobs on employer websites, and post the links to those sites on Ladders. Ladders also offers employers advanced search filters to search their resume database.

Ladders vs. LinkedIn:

Ladders and LinkedIn differ in that LinkedIn is an international professional network that includes job postings, while Ladders is dedicated to high-paying professional jobs in the U.S. and Canada. Ladders' pricing starts at US$599.00 per post, whereas LinkedIn allows more budget control with a pay-per-click option.

Ladders vs. Job Bank:

While Ladders exclusively features highly paid U.S. and Canadian jobs, Job Bank is the Canadian government's job board. The site only features local positions and offers a free job posting service. By contrast, Ladders charges upwards of US$599.00 per post, making it the costlier option. Both platforms feature resume searches.

Ladders vs. Eluta.ca:

Ladders has a North American focus, whereas Eluta.ca primarily caters to the local job market. Both sites offer free and paid posting options, but Ladders is costlier than Eluta.ca, with a starting price of US$599.00 per post, compared to Eluta.ca's C$199.00 for a single post. For a more targeted local reach, Eluta.ca is the better option.
