Landed’s AI-based intelligent matching technology matches candidates to best fit jobs and employers near them.
Hiring managers access the Landed Employer portal and input hiring goals and criteria across all locations.

This eliminates manual work for Hiring Managers, delivering dozens of hours of time savings each week while driving a 3.5X better hiring rate.
