Ladders, Inc.

The Ladders is a prominent online job search platform in the United States that specifically caters to high-earning professionals seeking positions with salaries of $100,000 or more. The service allows individuals to create detailed professional profiles, upload resumes containing their work history, skills, and salary expectations, and apply for vetted, high-paying job opportunities. Its primary customers are both job seekers looking for executive-level roles and recruiters or employers aiming to fill those positions by searching the platform's database of qualified candidates. The exposure of detailed career information, including resumes and salary data, poses privacy risks such as a current employer discovering an employee's job search activities or personal contact information being shared with numerous recruiters. This concentration of high-earner data could also be a target for bad actors seeking to commit sophisticated fraud or identity theft. Individuals can protect themselves by carefully managing the information they choose to share on their public profiles and by reviewing the platform's privacy settings to control data visibility.
