Create Account Ladders

Why Create a Ladders Account?

Starting with Ladders means you’re tapping into a platform built to make your job search smarter and smoother. Our AI-driven Job Locations Hub helps you target the places you want to work, while automated interview tools keep your hiring process efficient. From parsing your CV to scoring job relevance, we do the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters—landing the right role.

Whether you’re a job seeker looking to widen your options or a recruiter aiming to speed up candidate screening, our platform adapts to your needs with powerful AI features.

Getting Started: How to Register

Signing up is straightforward. Head to theladders.com and click “Sign In” at the top right. You’ll see options to log in or create a new account—go for “Create Account.”

The registration form keeps it simple: your email, a secure password, and some basic info about your professional background. Just make sure your password is at least 8 characters long with a mix of letters and numbers.

If you hit a snag—like an error message when entering your job title—try simplifying the entry first. You can always add more detail later.

Verifying Your Email and Completing Your Profile

Once you submit your registration, we’ll send a verification email. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, so check your spam folder if it’s not in your inbox. The link inside is good for 24 hours, and clicking it brings you back to finish setting up your profile.

This is where you tell us more about your current job, experience, and especially your location preferences—which powers the Job Locations Hub. Whether you’re open to remote work, willing to relocate, or targeting specific cities, these details help our AI find the best matches.

Profile Completion Checklist

1. Professional info: role, industry, experience years
2. Location preferences: target cities, remote/hybrid options
3. Salary expectations to fine-tune matching
4. Skills and certifications for accuracy
5. Career goals to align job suggestions

Security Made Simple: Two-Factor Authentication

We take your account security seriously, but we also keep it user-friendly. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is optional but highly recommended, especially if you’re handling sensitive info or senior roles.

You can pick SMS codes or an authenticator app like Google Authenticator. When enabled, you’ll enter a 6-digit code whenever logging in from a new device. The setup walks you through scanning a QR code or verifying your phone number.

Your Dashboard: Where AI Meets Action

After verifying your account, you’ll land on your personalized dashboard. This is your hub for job matches, location searches, application tracking, and more.

Our AI learns from how you interact—saving jobs or marking them uninterested improves your future matches. It’s like having a personal assistant that gets smarter over time.

Maximizing Your Job Locations Hub

The Job Locations Hub is powerful, but it works best when you set clear preferences. You can add multiple target cities, specify commute radii, and choose your remote work flexibility. This way, you won’t miss out on roles that fit your lifestyle.

Location Targeting Options

• Primary Location: Main city with specific mileage radius
• Secondary Locations: Extra cities you’d consider
• Remote Work: Fully remote, hybrid, or office-based choices
• Relocation: Open to moving or not

Don’t feel pressured to be too strict at first. Sometimes, broadening your search reveals unexpected opportunities.

Using Ladders On the Go: Mobile Access

Once your account is ready, you can manage everything from your phone or tablet without a separate registration. Use the same login, and if your device supports it, enable biometric login for faster access.

Mobile perks include notifications for new matches, quick apply buttons, interview scheduling reminders, and salary research tools—all optimized for small screens.

Keeping Your Account Secure and Private

Your privacy matters. By default, your profile is visible to recruiters but not necessarily to your current employer. You can adjust this anytime through privacy settings.

Privacy Controls to Know

1. Profile visibility: public, limited, or private
2. Employer blocking: hide from specific companies
3. Contact preferences: control recruiter reach
4. Data sharing: decide what info shows in searches

Tips to Get the Most from Your Ladders Account

Profiles with complete info get better matches and more recruiter views. Upload a professional photo if you can—it really helps, especially in creative or client-facing fields.

Weekly Maintenance Checklist

• Review new job matches 2-3 times a week
• Update availability status whenever it changes
• Adjust location preferences monthly
• Check application statuses weekly

Also, explore advanced features like salary negotiation tools and automated alerts in the Job Locations Hub. These can save you time and give you an edge when offers come in.

Integrations and Interview Preparation

To speed things up, you can import your LinkedIn profile to pre-fill much of your data. It’s not perfect, so make sure to review and adjust location and salary info after import.

On the interview side, our platform offers tailored practice questions and industry-specific tips based on your job targets. It’s like having a coach ready whenever you need it.
