A nice little pick-me-up on a Thursday afternoon. I'm excluding the job seeker's name, because while he did authorize TheLadders.com to use his name, I'm not speaking in an official capacity here.

Oh, and OpsLadder is just one of 8 different functional titles we offer $100k+ job seekers. Remember, job seekers pay for access to TheLadders.com. The top 10% of all earners are willing to pay because we offer a cleaner, more streamlined service than anything else out there.

OpsLadder Team,

I felt compelled to send a "thank you" and an "landed" update for your files. I left my career with GE after 12 years in January 2007. I had enjoyed great success in GE, but felt compelled to leave large corporate life and try something different. I enjoyed the first month reconnecting with the family. In February I started my active job search - utilizing a few of the public search boards, including 6Figurejobs, Execunet and OpsLadder.com. It became clear, very quickly that the quality of OpsLadder FAR surpassed anything else out there. While I monitored the other search sites - I relied heavily on OpsLadder as my primary search tool.

Out of the gate I found numerous potential job fits, but focused on raising the bar in my career - a larger scale job, better pay and a smaller private company with room to grow. I had a number of interviews and flew to many face-to-face meetings. Perseverance paid off in April as I was contacted by a recruiter after posting for a COO role through OpsLadder with a Specialty Finance company. After three rounds of interviews with the Executive Team and the Board of Directors an offer was presented to me last week. I start a great COO job in a two weeks!!!

I can’t thank the OpsLadder team enough for your product. OpsLadder played a significant role in accomplishing a major milestone in my career. Without question, OpsLadder as a job search tool is the best organized, most user-friendly and is filled with the "richest" content. You’ve earned a customer for life - through In my new capacity as COO you can bet my company will be using OpsLadder as it’s primary external recruiting tool.

Please send my thanks to the entire OpsLadder team for a job well done!
