10 reasons why you should apply through Landing.jobs

There are now several different ways you can pick from when applying for that job you’ve been wishing for, and you shouldn’t only evaluate their user experience and good looks.

Unlocking tech talent stories

January 27, 2016

Everyday, a new recruitment platform, agency or job board is born. What do they have in common? They’re all looking for the same thing — unbelievable tech professionals who think the word “bug” is only used in the automobile world or when their significant other screams for dear life.

There are now several different ways you can pick from when applying for that job you’ve been wishing for, and you shouldn’t only evaluate their user experience and good looks (even considering we would totally nail this anyway, especially with our brand new candidate profiles).

Your decision in how and where you apply for tech jobs can actually make all the difference in terms of how accurately the information arrives to the hiring manager, of how fast the process goes, and especially how successful it is in the end.

But why shouldn’t you just go ahead and apply to the employer directly? You know they’re looking for someone with your skills. Their recruitment email is right there on their website. Why would you want Landing.jobs to get in the middle?

That’s the thing, we don’t put ourselves in the middle. We’re by your side, and here are 10 reasons why you’re going to want us there:

1. Guaranteed application review

Yes, it really is true. We review every. single. application that is made through our platform. Behind this beautiful platform you find yourself scrolling through, there is a really supportive team allied with tech experts to make sure every application is accurately reviewed and spot on.

We’re working to make sure you can expect feedback and a full evaluation of your application, that means profile and experience, as soon as possible. Boom.

The best part of reviewing every single application is that when they arrive to the companies’ hiring managers, they’re already curated. When our employers receive a notification from our side with a freshly reviewed application, they’re left with the feeling of getting a new team member in their inbox, rather than just a candidate.

2. Honest and constructive feedback

We are so done with the “Unfortunately, after much consideration, I am sorry to inform you that you have been unsuccessful in your application and we will not be taking you forward” bullshit without any kind of rejection reason. Candidates invest a lot of time in their applications, and they deserve that investment to be returned. The least we can do is give you a reason to why your application was unsuccessful.

We’ve been working a lot, even between different teams, to make sure the applications we receive every single day are met with honest, constructive and personalised feedback. You’re not just a CV.pdf that we skim through and drag to the trash can.

3. A team that backs you up

Our job is way more impactful than just reviewing applications and giving you proper feedback. We’re on the candidates’ side, and we do everything we can to make your hiring process run as smoothly as possible. If you apply through Landing.jobs, you’ll be receiving some feedback requests that will allow us to follow all your processes closely.

Received a proposal and need some help? We got you. Did the company not get back to you yet? We’ll get our rolling pin have a word with them. We’re a very talkative bunch, so we don’t mind being the ones to bug the employers!

4. Confidential profiles

Our candidates’ profiles are completely confidential and only seen by us. If your application goes through our screening and is sent to the employers, only then will they get a glimpse of it to run their own evaluation before getting you hired.

5. Your own dashboard

Still tracking your applications with a Google Spreadsheet template? We think it’s time you upgrade it. Your applications through Landing.jobs can be managed through your very own dashboard, where you can track their status in real time and receive notifications at your own will.

6. Got hired? Thank you

We know how painful recruitment processes can become sometimes, and we think you should be rewarded if you go through it successfully. We’re currently planning a very special something for every person who gets hired through Landing.jobs. Watch out for your mailman.

7. No crappy job offers

You deserve the best! Every single job offer we have on our platform is curated by us and we make sure that there’s a cool product or service behind it. One of our major values is transparency, and that’s why we’re really strong advocates of giving as much information as possible in every job offer — on Show me the Salary, for example, we talk about our firm belief of having a disclosed salary on every job offer.

You can always expect no less than amazing job offers in awesome companies on our feed. We won’t disappoint you!

8. Multiple applications, one screening

Another tech assessment? Same questions all over again?

One of the biggest advantages of applying through us is that no matter how many different positions you might want to apply for, we only run our screening phase once. This means that whatever job you apply for, we’ll ask you all those questions only once, and we’ll make sure that the information you’re sharing with us will bring more value to your application.

9. All the support you need

We love our friends at Intercom, and we’re using them to provide you with the best support in real time. Every time you have a question or need extra help, you just need to press that button on the lower right side of the application, and we’ll try to answer you as fast as possible.
