I'd like to offer new employers who find us through Product Hunt a 10% discount on any of our product plans. More info here: https://landing.jobs/employers.

Hello Product Hunters! I'm Pedro Oliveira co-founder @ Landing.jobs. The team and I are incredibly excited to have been hunted today. We'll be available all day to answer any comments you have. In the meantime, let me tell you what we have built and our aim. We're building a tech recruitment marketplace dedicated to matchmaking top tech professionals with curated job offers from top employers. Our aim is to treat our members like people, and not just another number on a database. You'll always hear back from us, and you'll always get honest feedback. Behind the scenes, our team is an international bunch of developers, designers, technologists and hiring specialists in Lisbon, London and Barcelona. Our main focus - for now - is tech roles within Europe :) We like to see ourselves as a no-spam (for both employers and tech pro's), pro-transparency and full-stack support product, and I hope that one day we'll be able to help all digital pro's better manage their careers.

Finding a job online is a little broken--anyone in tech with a LinkedIn account can tell you tales of being spammed by mismatching recruiters. Landing.jobs seems like it has a good chance to fix the system.

@pcbo @kikischirr It's November, and I'm still wearing flip-flops! (I'm originally from Up North, so this is amazing!) Landing.jobs looks great, I'm not surprised you're doing so well. :D

Hi Pedro. What's it like to have such an iconic pornstache on your team (and product) proudy worn by your awesome head of Marketing @carrozo?
@carrozo
@joao_oliveira Many thanks. It's the kind of moustache that says, "sure, I've been naked on camera before, what of it?"

@carrozo Everything that sports a little Freddie in it has my upvote for life.

@joao_oliveira @carrozo is our constant Movember element on the team, prostate cancer is a thing you know...
@carrozo
@pcbo @joao_oliveira there's a Medium post in here somewhere about iconic pornstaches and personal branding in the early 21st Century. Watch out @ev.

Maybe I am wrong but I haven't found a word about this on TechCrunch but you include an 'as seen on' part. This seems suspicious
André Oliveira
@noxowe they were previously called Jobbox. Here's an article in which they were mentioned: http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/25...

@smackingg @noxowe Thanks, now I understand but I advise them to include this on their page :)
@carrozo
@noxowe Thanks for pointing this out, dude! We added a link earlier today from the homepage and I left a comment on the original article just in case it wasn't clear! :D
@carrozo
@noxowe Oh, and what do you think otherwise? Be good to hear your thoughts! :)

I'd be interested in seeing a sample profile - I think the biggest problem with LinkedIn is the strictures it places on professional experience. Are you guys giving technical job seekers a better way to present themselves, their skills, and their interests?
Tiago Moreiras

@eliservescent thanks for asking. We totally agree with what your saying and we believe that's the way to go. LinkedIn clearly is a very structured approach to your CV and it tends to be a experienced driven profile and not so much of an "achievements" driven one, which could be much more revealing! For now, being totally honest, we are a bit far from a professional network such as LinkedIn, hence all your information is private and confidential. No "public profile". Only when you apply to a job offer, is the company able to search your CV and LinkedIn, if you provide one. Also, we can leverage all your info to match make you with interesting offers. Something fairly recent but that we think could be really important to save you a lot of work! We have some major plans for opt-in public profiles in future; to start exploring more how we could help tech pros present themselves to an employer, and how all those amazing achievements that they tend to undervalue. How to present that in a visual and more appealing way instead of a restaurant buffet of job on job on job on... you get the picture. We're really a candidate-driven marketplace. So more than the profile itself, we aim to be your Hollywood Movie-star manager. Helping candidates understand the market and their pains. That's the vision! And we'll get there! Would love to pick your brains about this topic. Let me know if we can book a call.

@tiagomoreiras @eliservescent for sure - shoot me an email (elisa-jo.harkness@fabernovel.com) @bentossell, this is a great use case for expanding DM capabilities (;

@eliservescent I've dropped you a line :) Let's jump on a call! #feedback!

I recently came across and started using Landing Jobs (thanks @Bo_irik) after struggling to find local quality tech talent in Amsterdam. I like that Landing Jobs schedules calls with you, not only to find out the skills of tech talent you are looking to hire, but also what sort of personal values and cultural fit you're looking for. They then screen applicants first and only pass on the ones that really match. That personal approach is what sets it apart for me and why I think they will be successful. We've only been sent 2 applicants so far - but both are quality and a good match culturally for our team. Keep up the good work guys!

@amitsonawane thank you and we love you back :) so much more coming — actually, we just shipped this new blog post regarding some cool new features: http://blog.landing.jobs/what-we... !
@carrozo
@amitsonawane and we love Feedzai! Especially when they helped us launch the first sardine into space this summer! (Yes, we're a little bit mad @ Landing.jobs... see video above)

The old fashioned recruiting model is changing. Landing.jobs appears to be disrupting the candidate and employer experience whilst doing this in a fun way. It's so cool to be working in tech nowadays. Congratulations on being hunted...
Pedro

@paul_s_kemp our vision is to turn the whole recruitment experience into a pleasant and rewarding one instead of just trying to remove the pain out of it.
