Case Study: TheLadders achieves streamlined content workflow and agile collaboration with Trello

How The Ladders Keeps Climbing with Trello

TheLadders, originally known for $100K+ job listings, has expanded into a full career-management platform serving professionals at every stage. Facing the challenge of turning more than a decade of user data and rapidly changing business priorities into actionable products and content, the company needed a way to coordinate work across marketing, product, and editorial teams without losing information in email or endless meetings.

They standardized on Trello to run their content pipeline and agile product process—using boards, comments, mentions, colored labels, and custom stickers to show ownership, priority, and next steps. The result is clearer accountability, fewer meetings and lost messages, faster adaptation to shifting goals, and better alignment across teams as TheLadders continues to evolve with the job market.
