How the Lander App will 'disrupt' the upcoming TechCrunch conference

Lander is revolutionizing the hiring market for job seekers and hiring managers with its streamlined digital job marketplace, and you can find out all about their new app at the upcoming TechCrunch Conference in October.

The Lander hiring process is personalized, building stronger relationships between candidates and hiring managers, and giving both a competitive advantage. Using Lander, job candidates will have a better chance of getting the job they want and hiring managers will be able to do their jobs more efficiently.

The global start-up community gathers at TechCrunch Disrupt every year for insights into founders' journeys, collaboration, and celebration of achievements that have been made and will be made in the future. And looking to the future is what Lander is all about.

Kassem Hamad, the founder of Lander, created the platform to fill in the gaps left by the current popular job search platforms. Candidates and hiring managers are presented with disorganized and outdated options. All parties involved have experience with the tedium of navigating popular job sites, which unnecessarily wastes time and resources.

"It will be a privilege to attend the TechCrunch Conference and meet fellow entrepreneurs to learn from their disrupt success stories and collaborate on resources. Lander will introduce itself as the new revolutionary platform that will disrupt the recruitment industry by introducing a stress-free and time-saving process for hiring managers and job seekers,” says Hamad.

It is increasingly difficult for companies today to find talented employees who match their job requirements. Job seekers, on the other hand, feel stressed, frustrated, and undervalued when they are seeking the right match.

With Lander, job seekers and recruiters can connect in a fresher, more efficient manner. With Lander, users can find a job or recruit new talent in a more interactive, personalized, and satisfying way.

Lander’s “beyond the resume” approach personalizes and streamlines the hiring process for hiring managers and candidates. A hiring manager can identify eager and interested candidates directly from a job subcategory. They can also post their listings in multiple subcategories where they are most appropriate. Using Lander's personalized system, candidates and hiring managers can connect on a deeper level than with impersonal documents including brief video introductions.

“A hiring manager clicks on the main business tab. They then see a drop-down listing of the job pools where multiple candidates have submitted their profiles. Now the hiring manager and candidates can connect on a level that’s deeper than a piece of paper. Users get noticed and employers can feel confident that their potential candidate will fit the company culture,” adds Hamad.

Recruiting and hiring a new employee costs an estimated nearly $19,000 on average. It takes more than reviewing resumes and conducting interviews to find the right talent. Not only does Lander cut down on the initial resources of a job search with a more effective platform but their unique personalized component ensures a mesh between candidate and company culture to give recruiters the best opportunity to find the right candidate.

The opportunity to show a bit of personality on Lander isn’t just for the candidate, it gives organizations an opportunity to stand out. Among the biggest obstacles, recruiters face when seeking out new candidates is the ability to cut through the noise and distinguish themselves from all of the other job postings vying for attention. By personalizing the process and narrowing the focus of listings to those relevant for candidates Lander will help form a perfect match.

TechCrunch Disrupt takes place on October 18–20 in San Francisco.

How employers and hiring professionals will benefit from Lander, a new platform that will dominate the hiring industry

Since the beginning of 2020, the job market has seen the biggest uptake in individuals seeking jobs since the Great Depression. As businesses were forced to shut their doors, many people lost their jobs, requiring them to seek new job opportunities.

This increase in applicants across a multitude of digital hiring platforms has left hiring managers having to navigate the endless stream of online job search options, especially as the pandemic limited options for in-person hiring processes. When asking managers about their common concerns with regard to the hiring process, capital, time and trust are often considered paramount.

Providing a cost-effective, productive and smooth experience, Lander is the revolutionary hiring platform catering to those managerial concerns. Our app provides a stress-free and enjoyable experience, thanks to the simplicity and efficiency of the platform, saving managers precious time and resources so they can focus on growing their business.

“A hiring manager clicks on a main business tab. They then see a drop-down listing to the job pools where multiple candidates have submitted their profiles. Now the hiring manager and candidates can connect on a level that’s deeper than a piece of paper. You get noticed for being you and employers can feel confident that their potential candidate will fit company culture,” says Kassem Hamad, a Virginia-based entrepreneur and the founder of Lander.

Lander can reduce your search time by a whopping 50%, empowering hiring managers to be able to easily access numerous resumes from one streamlined location. Hiring managers have access to specialized candidate pools and can find the right match for the position using our tier-level organized search.

Why job seekers will utilize the new Lander App

The hunt for a job today looks a lot different than the hunt performed by previous generations. Cold-calling is a thing of the past. Follow up and thank-you emails bounce back from automated reply systems.

Going into a business, shaking hands with a manager and asking to submit a paper application with your resume will have the manager looking at you with confusion, and likely pointing you to the nearest computer where you can access their job opportunities online.   In our increasingly digital world, job searches have become almost entirely relegated to online spaces.

The global pandemic has only bolstered the necessity of accessing job search platforms online, as businesses are being inundated with a large increase in individuals looking for jobs. This increase in accessibility thanks to digitization can provide a great increase in the number of applicants, but a greater number of applicants only makes it more difficult for job seekers to stand out. That is where Lander comes in.  

“The cool thing about Lander is that candidates are going to have a competitive advantage over other job search platforms,” says Kassem Hamad, the Virginia-based entrepreneur who founded the company.

Hamad noticed the need to dramatically alter the way candidates were applying for jobs, noting the complete lack of organization across platforms, and the outdated need to replicate an application for every single job of interest. A common complaint among job seekers is the annoyance of submitting a PDF of a resume, then having to type all of the details of that resume you just submitted on the very next page.

Lander streamlines this process, by allowing job applicants to submit their resume under the specific job position they are looking for, in the specific industry they wish to work in. Lander even allows you to submit a 30 second video with your application, providing a personal touch and a competitive advantage over applications submitted elsewhere.

Gone are the days of needing to submit hundreds of resumes to specific employers because with Lander, the candidate’s resume and profile are loaded under the specific job pool they have chosen.   Lander is a game changer for job hunters, saving applicants precious time and providing the opportunity to stand out among the tidal wave of competing applicants. With Lander, you can get the job you actually want fast, and efficiently!

Lander is revolutionizing the hiring market for job seekers and hiring managers with its streamlined digital job marketplace

Lander is personalizing the online hiring process, forming higher-quality relationships between candidates, and hiring managers, and providing competitive advantages to both.

With Lander, job candidates will have a better chance of securing the job they want and hiring managers will be able to do their job more efficiently.

Lander founder, Kassem Hamad, created the platform to fill in the gaps left by the current popular job search platforms as the next step in the evolution of career marketplaces.

Go-to options for hiring managers and job candidates present options in a disorganized and outdated fashion. The process of navigating a popular job site is time-consuming and tedious for all involved.

“Why not create organized platforms on the platform itself, where candidates can just submit their profiles into specific industries and the specific positions within those job pools?” asks Hamad.

While current platforms require prospective employees to submit their resumes individually to each position Lander takes a different approach.

Using Lander, any professional seeking a new career can submit a resume under the specific job position they’re looking for in the specific industry they wish to work in, and Lander does the rest.

Lander finds available positions that are a good fit for the candidate in a category and subcategory, or more, where the candidate can apply to these available positions directly with their profile and enters them into the pool of available candidates for hiring managers seeking to fill similar roles. There is no longer any need to submit hundreds of resumes to find a specific position nor to sift through countless positions which aren’t of interest.

Lander is an excellent option for employers as well. The streamlined well-organized approach mitigates the resources spent searching for a new candidate. And the opportunity for candidates to submit a short 30-second video sharing a bit about themselves and their professional experience will help personalize the process and ensure a good fit is found.

“A hiring manager clicks on the main business tab. They then see a drop-down listing of the job pools where multiple candidates have submitted their profiles. Now the hiring manager and candidates can connect on a level that’s deeper than a piece of paper. You get noticed for being you and employers can feel confident that their potential candidate will fit the company culture,” adds Hamad.

Lander is offering hiring managers various monthly packages reflective of their hiring needs.

Packages are available for as little as $79/month which is a small price to pay for a competitive advantage in the hiring process. In the United States, the average cost to hire a new employee is in the thousands of dollars, and the process takes upwards of 40 days.

Hiring an employee can be a costly and time-consuming process, made even more so if the wrong decision is made. According to the Society for Human Resource management, it costs companies an average of 6 to 9 months of an employee’s salary to replace him or her after factoring in recruiting and training costs.

Lander not only makes the hiring process easier, but it puts hiring managers in the best position to find a candidate who is the right fit for the position.

Lander will be available on The App Store or Google Play in the near future. Visit www.trylander.com to get the scoop on this game-changing platform.

Lander is a game-changer for hiring managers and job seekers

Except for those few among us who were looking for work during the Great Depression, there are tens-of-millions-of-people who recently experienced the greatest upheaval in the employment market in a generation.

When the pandemic hit – unless employees were deemed an “essential worker” – many faced lay-offs as businesses in a number of industries were forced to shut their doors, or restructure altogether. People whose jobs were affected by the pandemic found themselves in a very tough spot because finding a job during lockdowns became next to impossible, and people who have worked their entire lives found themselves collecting jobless benefits for the first time ever.

Now, as the world seems to have a handle on combatting the global pandemic, and most businesses are beginning to open back up, online job search platforms are being hit with a tidal wave of job hunters. And if job-seekers happen to be part of that tidal wave, they know all too well how maddening it can be.

Well, out of pure frustration and a burning desire to fix a huge problem that exists with every online job search platform, Kassem Hamad founded Lander, which will dramatically change how job candidates secure the job they want, and how efficient it will be for hiring managers to hire candidates.

“The cool thing about Lander is that candidates are going to have a competitive advantage over other job search platforms,” says Hamad, who is an entrepreneur based in Manassas City, Virginia.

The problem Hamad noticed was the complete lack of organization on current and popular job search platforms. The way the present and outdated platforms work means that a job seeker needs to submit their resume to each individual job posting that interests them, out of the hundreds that show up that might not even interest them at all.

“Why not create organized platforms on the platform itself, where candidates can just submit their profiles into specific industries and the specific positions within those job pools?” asks Hamad.

This is where Lander comes in to save the day for any professional looking for a new career adventure. Lander makes the process streamlined and simple by allowing job applicants to submit their resume, and even a 30 second video, under the specific job position they are looking for, in the specific industry they wish to work in.

And that’s it! No need to submit hundreds of resumes to specific employers because the candidate’s resume and profile are loaded under the specific job pool they have chosen. The new platform is a win-win for job hunters and employers too. Employers benefit enormously by being able to interview the qualified applicants they are looking to hire with the click of a button.

“A hiring manager clicks on a main business tab. They then see a drop-down listing to the job pools where multiple candidates have submitted their profiles. Now the hiring manager and candidates can connect on a level that’s deeper than a piece of paper. You get noticed for being you and employers can feel confident that their potential candidate will fit company culture,” adds Hamad.

For employers needing to fill specific positions within their specific industry, they have a pool of resumes, and even short videos from qualified applicants to review, which helps to quickly narrow down how many interviews will be necessary, thus making the hiring process much faster. Lander will obviously offer tremendous benefit to employers needing to hire, saving precious time and resources. But the real winner with Lander is the job seeker, by getting them the job they actually want fast, and efficiently, along with the competitive advantage which they gain with the 30-second video. Lander does the work for job-hunters so that they “land” their next big gig soon. Visit them online today: www.trylander.com
