6FigureJobs is full of shit

Sorry, I don't like to swear on this blog, but this press release made me mad.

Two things:

1) If you're going to take thinly veiled shots at your competitors, step up and name names:

6FigureJobs.com also asked its members if they thought it was appropriate to pay for "searching and applying to jobs" as required by certain niche job boards. The survey revealed that eighty percent (80%) of 6FigureJobs' executive and senior-level members felt that it was not appropriate that they should pay to search and apply to jobs on other niche job boards. 11% were indifferent. Only 9% felt it was fair to pay.

2) Don't lie.

6FigureJobs, which boasts the largest active recruitment database for senior executives on the Internet, and whose site is unique for its focus on employment opportunities that pay at least $100,000 annually, is used by hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies and seven of the top ten retained executive search firms. The 6FigureJobs database includes more than 500,000 pre-screened members and adds more than 10,000 new registrants each month.

TheLadders.com has 1.2 million registered users and is adding about 40,000 new users a week, but hey, when you put out your own press releases, who's counting?

Of course, I suppose that if I worked for a company whose stock chart looked like this, I might resign myself to bullshit.
