Cinnamon, I saw your post and felt a need to respond. What Theladders does is pull together in one place all of the jobs so that it makes your job search more efficient. While it might seem different to be a job seeker paying for job listings, in fact what happens is that recruiters like our site because they don't get spammed by tons of people emailing their resumes. You'll get better responses. And we've got great jobs, many of which are unique only on our site. It is a much more targeted approach for someone looking for a high-end job.
It might not be for everyone. But we think it is proving to be a very effective site connecting job seekers and recruiters in the high-end job market. And in the end, the $25 per month is really probably much less than you will spend looking for a job (like new clothes for interviews, etc...)!
