FAQs

There is no cost to you from LandaJob. Our clients hire us and pay us to find matches for their needs in contract, contract-to-hire and direct hire positions. In very rare instances, an employer will ask you to be liable for a portion of the fee, should you leave prior to one year. If that's the case, you'll know in advance of accepting the offer. Your salary offer is not affected because our client has planned in advance for both your salary level and our fee.

If you are scheduled for an interview, always bring your portfolio. Otherwise, you can e-mail samples of your best work with your resume.

You will receive an e-mail confirming that we have received your resume. Your resume information will be input into our database, and then circulated to recruiters who specialize in your skill set. They will determine whether to contact you (by phone) based on the searches they are currently conducting for clients and those they expect, based on the marketplace, to be conducting in the near future. At that point, you may be called in for a face-to-face interview. Whether or not there is a match with one of our current searches, your resume remains in our database for two years. Please send us an updated resume if you change jobs or expand your skill set.

If we have potential matches for you immediately, we'll tell you about them in detail and find out if they meet your objectives. Then we'll submit your resume along with a management summary to our client. We'll work with you at every step of the process to prepare you for interviews, explore issues, check references and even help negotiate the offer. If there is no immediate match, we want you to keep in touch so that if something does come up, we'll be able to reach you. We view our relationships as long-term, and we hope that we are in touch even after you've found a job, either through us or on your own.

On this issue we are much different from most other firms. We don't recruit from our current clients (those who have made a hire through us within the last 12 months). We may, however, receive unsolicited inquiries or resumes from within client firms.

Our screening process may be more thorough than you're accustomed to. We are evaluating not only the specific skill sets and experience you need, but also the character, background, and personality traits we uncover during the interview process. Because our recruiters have worked within the job categories that we fill, accurately assessing who will fit your job requirements is one of our key strengths. And when we send you a resume, it's accompanied by a management summary that explains our recommendation.
