WHY LAAND

Confirm,
don't assume.

A resume is a list of rooms someone has been in. It cannot tell you whether they have the taste and the speed to move your business once they are in yours — so every hire becomes a guess dressed up as a decision.

Laand starts where Chesky says to: with the result you need, worked backwards to the people who can produce it. Candidates prove it on a scoped micro-project built from the real work — and you hire on confirmed Proof of Work, not an assumption.

On how he found top talent…
“Start with the results and work backwards to the people. Most [startups] start with resumes.”
— Brian Chesky, CEO, Airbnb
Results first, then who can produce it for you.
START WITH WHO

Know who you need.
Without guessing.

Every bad hire looked right on paper. Laand reads your business and names the profile that moves your milestone, plus the one that looks right and won't.

Name the milestone, not just the job title.

Ten minutes, once. No job spec to write.

  • The business milestone this hire must move
  • Your stack, tools and reporting line
  • Region, seniority and the traits that matter

THE QUALIFICATION LAYERS

You set the bar.
Laand runs the engine

You know who you need and the role is out there. Resumes and portfolio links are someone's history, not proof they can do this job. So Laand builds three gates instead.

Handles the resume, so you don't have to.

Laand scores every applicant against your milestone and your stack. You set the bar. Nobody who misses it reaches you.

LAAND / FIT SCORELIVE STATE

INSIDE GATE 02

High-Agency,
actually measured.

Everyone now wants high-agency people. Almost nobody can test for it. Here is exactly what Laand tracks and where you stay in control.

WHAT IT TRACKS
  • Problem senseDo they find the real problem, or answer the brief literally?
  • JudgmentWhat did they trade off, and can they say why?
  • OwnershipDo they close the loop without being chased?
  • TasteOf the working options, do they pick the right one?
WHERE YOU STAY IN CONTROL

Built so AI can't answer it for them

Deliverables are scoped to your context, timed in a sandbox, and checked for the patterns a chatbot leaves behind.

You scope the micro-project

Laand drafts it from your real blockers. You edit it, swap it, or pick a different one before anyone sees it.

Nothing goes out until you approve

Review the assessment and the project brief first. Your bar, your wording, your call.

YOUR EMPLOYER BRAND

450+ people may apply.
Hire one, leave others happy.

Everyone you don't hire is a future hire, customer or referrer. You don't have time to write to any of them, so they get silence or a template. Laand sends every one of them real feedback, in your name.

They leave knowing exactly what was missing.

Not "we've decided to move forward with other candidates." The specific gap, and what would close it.

Nobody you turned down leaves thinking you ignored them.

⌁ANTI-BIAS ROUTE
THE DECISION STANDARD?

Only who can solve problem(s) when hired.

Same milestone, same gates, same evidence. It makes no difference whether someone came from your network, ours, or a job board.

THE MATH

Everyone else bills you
before anyone proves anything.

No monthly subscription. No recruiter fee. You only pay to talk to someone who has already delivered Proof of Work.

INDEPENDENT HEADHUNTERS
$2K–$4K+per placement
An introductionand that's the deliverable

They know people, and they find you the moment word gets out that you're hiring. What you're buying is the intro.

WHAT THEY LEAVE YOU

The intro is where it ends. You still run culture-fit, and you alone work out whether they can do the job in your context.

REAL COST$6K+$2–4K fee + roughly 15 hours of founder and lead timeand you still haven't seen them work
AI-WRAPPED REFERRAL BOTS
10%of first-year salary
$10Kon a $100K role

Cheaper than a headhunter because the matching is keyword-deep — resumes that echo phrases already in your JD.

WHAT THEY LEAVE YOU

You still screen, still interview, and still design your own trial to find out whether any of it was true.

REAL COST$13K+$10K fee + the screening loop and trial you run yourselfon a role at the modest end of the range
ATS & APPLICATION FORMS
$200+per month
Faster intakeof the same guesswork

Or a Notion board and a Google Form, which is what most early teams actually use. Either way you're collecting résumés and boilerplate answers faster — not learning who can do the work.

WHAT THEY LEAVE YOU

Then the sorting, the screening calls, the culture-fit rounds, and the hunt for any evidence they've solved your kind of problem before. All of it manual, all of it yours.

REAL COST$5K+$2.4K a year in tooling + the week of team hours every hire absorbsper hire — and the cheapest tool has the highest hidden cost
LAAND
$750per talent delivered
with verifiable Proof of Work

No percentage of anyone's salary. No subscription for a faster inbox. One flat fee, and only for operators who already proved they can solve your problem.

WHAT THE FEE COVERS
  • Deep analysis of your stack, market and milestone — turned into the real problems to solve
  • Fit Score and High-Agency gates built to thresholds you set
  • Micro-projects scoped from your actual blockers
  • A sandbox with timing and anti-spoofing guards, so the work is theirs
  • Specific feedback returned to everyone who doesn't make it

Two hundred can enter. Every gate filters for you, and nobody reaches the sandbox on a resume.

You wake up to Proof of Work. You verify, and you hire.
