Don't make the same mistake I did. I paid for their premium services over a year ago, I have a solid resume and track record making over 200k in my last few positions. I landed a better job without theladders.com within a few weeks and canceled my subscription.

Lo and behold a year later I see I am getting charged, gee that's odd. Let me cancel my subscription, a few months later bam, got charged again. Cancel again take screenshot and dispute with my credit card company. I then made sure to unsubscribe and also did the do not sell my private information button. Still get emails, that's odd. ( Then I do more research)

As many others have found, they are offering no real value, paying for their premium service unlocks you couldn't find on LinkedIn for free, jobs are either not 100k jobs or scraped from the companies themselves who have zero affiliation with theladders.

If you sign up for Theladders, you can unsubscribe all you want they will still email and spam you. If you cancel they will still bill your credit card. I had to dispute with my credit card provider. ( Their website will say you are on the basic, but they will continue to charge you for premium)

Also when you try and cancel they require you to fill out information of where you went and what that salary is no way to skip over those fields

You can send an email, ask them to delete your information and confirm account is canceled.

They will say it's taken care of, then no less than 48 hours later a telemarketer from the Philippines will call you trying to sell you on their service.

Before you consider giving them any personal information read what former employees have said about the organization.

They sell your information without your consent. They have no regard for canspam violations or any FTC rules.

How they can still exist in 2023 still is beyond believe at best you are paying for a Ziprecruter plugin and the most uncurated and stale job listings you can imagine.

Tip for consumers:
Learn from others and don't waste your money
