Theladders.co.uk premium service - is it worth it?

coopertrooper2001

Has anyone signed up to TheLadders.co.uk premium service as part of their job search.
Do you think its worth the money? I guess this depends on whether you found a good job or not
General opinions appreciated.

I can't see the vacancies as I haven't signed up but it seems a little suspicious to me. However... it can be costly to have your CV checked so getting that service if you're paying for one month may work out cheaper if you don't have anywhere else you can go for CV checking. No assurance of quality of service though

i think you'd have to assess your situation and if you can afford it and then decide if you'll pay the fee or not.

personally, if it was me (and i could be wrong) i wouldn't sign up because i've had close to zero response from any of the free job sites and would absolutely hate if i actually paid a fee and still didn't hear anything.

but at the end of the day it's all upto you as you know your situation best.

Without paying for it, I have found it quite useful to find possibly suitable jobs. If you google the job title and location it will invariably lead to the website where the job was originally posted (and where you can get the details and apply for free).

I would say any company that are charging you to find work are ripping you off, take into account that it is illegal in the UK for agencies to charge prospective employees a fee.
