# Laand > Laand is the infrastructure for high-agency talent. High agency means finding problems worth solving and solving them unprompted; taste means solving them in a way nobody else would. Instead of resumes and applications, Laand runs on Proof of Work: talent shows the work, and companies hire on it. Laand is built on the 3Rs: Resonance (understand the real problem), Relevance (tell the story in the other side's terms), Results (show the outcome, as real work). ## For talent (free to start) - [Job Application Kits](https://laand.me/job-application-kits): paste any job link for a Fit Score, what the team is really trying to fix, and where you're strong or thin. Then a kit for that one role: a 3Rs resume and cover letter, outreach to the people who decide, micro-solutions (Proof of Work aimed at the company's problem) and a spoken mock interview. - [Career Growth HQ](https://laand.me/career-growth-hq): 100% free. The gaps from your Fit Scores turned into a plan, with the courses, tools and proof to close them. - [Personalized Job Board](https://laand.me/personalized-job-board): Laand reads over 14,000 company careers pages (and growing daily) plus every major ATS, straight from the source. Roles that match you land on your dashboard the day they open, with the best in a weekly email, and you can follow target companies to hear the day they post. Credit holders also see unlisted openings: companies inviting high-agency people to pitch for roles they haven't posted. - [Pricing](https://laand.me/pricing): free account with a weekly deep analysis; credits for kits, no subscription. ## For companies (startups hiring their first 20 people) - [Talent Hunts](https://laand.me/hunt-talent): end-to-end hiring for startups. Paste a job link. Laand reads the company and the milestone behind the role, sources candidates (a high-agency network growing by 50+ people a day, targeted outreach, share posts and a free, branded careers page), filters them with a Fit Score and a High-Agency Assessment, and invites the best to paid micro-projects scoped from the company's real problems. Companies review the finished work, then hire: Laand drafts the contract and a 90-day onboarding plan, saved to the company's Google Drive. Everyone who drops out gets specific feedback at the stage they stopped. Teams work in Laand, Slack or their AI agent (Claude, Codex, Cursor). $750 per talent delivered with Proof of Work; no subscription. ## For AI agents - [Laand MCP server](https://laand.me/docs/mcp) (plain text for agents: https://laand.me/docs/mcp.md): hiring teams connect Laand to Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or ChatGPT at `https://laand.me/mcp` (OAuth with their Laand company account). Agents can list hunts and candidates, read submitted micro-projects (the full write-up, or a code repo to clone, once the candidate is unlocked), ask about hiring data, leave the team's say, and take the same steps as Laand in Slack. ## Alternatives for companies - [Ashby alternative](https://laand.me/ashby-alternative): Ashby runs a hiring process; Laand shows who can do the work, before there's a recruiting team. - [Greenhouse alternative](https://laand.me/greenhouse-alternative): Greenhouse structures hiring at scale; Laand gives founders proof instead of process. - [TestGorilla alternative](https://laand.me/testgorilla-alternative): standard skill tests versus paid work scoped from the company's own milestone. - [Notion careers page alternative](https://laand.me/notion-careers-page-alternative): a Notion page lists the role; Laand turns it into Proof of Work. - [YC Work at a Startup alternative](https://laand.me/y-combinator-jobs-alternative): Work at a Startup gets a role seen; Laand helps choose who to hire. ## Alternatives for talent - [Jack & Jill alternative](https://laand.me/jack-and-jill-alternative): an AI agent makes the intro; Laand makes you the obvious hire. - [Clera alternative](https://laand.me/clera-alternative): a warm intro to a founder, then Proof of Work they'll read. - [TrueUp and Lenny's Jobs alternative](https://laand.me/trueup-alternative): from finding the role to winning it. - [Huntr alternative](https://laand.me/huntr-alternative): tracking applications versus winning the ones you choose. - [LazyApply alternative](https://laand.me/lazyapply-alternative): fewer applications, each with real proof, instead of auto-apply volume. - [Sorce alternative](https://laand.me/sorce-alternative): swipe-to-apply versus an application worth reading. - [LoopCV alternative](https://laand.me/loopcv-alternative): out of the auto-apply loop. ## More - [Laand Hiring Index](https://laand.me/laand-hiring-index): live hiring data for tech, startups and AI, updated hourly.
