The co-pilot during a system design round. Sample data.
One place for the whole job search.
LandMode runs your search with you, from the first role you find to the last round. Here is what it does at each step.
Before you apply
It finds the roles
Describe the move in a sentence. It goes looking, then argues both sides of every company it brings back.
“VP or Director of Engineering at a 100–400 person company in Tel Aviv. I want to stay five years.”
While you apply
It keeps the record
Forward any job email and the row files itself. It never reads your inbox, and it notices when a company goes quiet.

Live cues on your phone while you talk: the question, how to answer it, and what a full answer still needs. It already knows the job, the recruiter’s brief and your resume.

The live interview co-pilot
It is there before, during and after the round.
Most interview tools stop at practice questions. This one sits in the real interview, and because it is part of your search, it already knows the job, the recruiter’s brief and your resume.
- Phone on the desk, or the call tab on your computer
- English and Hebrew, picked up on its own
- Coding, system design, stories and HR, told apart per question
- No sound, and never on your screen share
Before
It reads the brief
Forward the recruiter’s email and it follows their plan, minute by minute. Paste the written exercise and every hint uses it.
Got the recruiter’s brief from Dana at Northwind
During
It shows the next move
Each question as it is asked, how to answer it, and one cue at a time while you talk.
Next
Wrap up high-level design, move on
Say: “That covers the write path. Shall I go deeper on storage?”
After
It tells you how it went
About a minute after you end: the likely result, the stronger answer to each question, and what to drill next.
Everything it shows, while you are still talking.
One screen that follows the conversation. Short cues, eight words or fewer, so you can read them in a glance and keep your eyes on the call.
The question, as they ask it
The card follows the conversation. A follow-up branches off the main problem, and the parts a full answer needs tick off as you cover them.
Design an urgent-finding alert system for lung CT
↳How do you know the scan series has ended?
To cover: 3 of 6 done
A route through the answer
Six steps for system design, five for coding, STAR for a story, a walk-through for something you built. Worked out per question, with no picker.
Chapter 5 of 6
3 doneYour numbers, worked out
Estimates you say out loud become a board you can point back to, with the sum behind each one.
Your numbers
≈600K scans/day15K scanners × ~40
≈300 TB/day600K × 500 MB
6M inferences/day600K × 10
Ask them: GPU time per algorithm?
What a full answer still needs
It knows what a complete design covers, so it names the part you have not reached yet and splits the time left.
Still to cover
Not covered yet: the database
- 25 min left, about 8 each
- Also open: monitoring
When they push back
If the interviewer corrects you, a calm line to say comes up, in the language of the interview.
Fix this now
Re-check the storage estimate
- Say: let me revisit that number
One tap when you go blank
Help me with this gives the next step. Answer rescue builds an outline from your own profile and prep.
Help
Restate the question, then plan
- Say the question back in one line
- Name the steps you will take
The clock they gave you
When the interviewer says how long you have, it counts down and tells you when a part runs over.
Time
Past the 10 min for the exercise
How you sound, too
Talking too fast, running long, repeating yourself, filling pauses. One nudge at a time, then it gets out of the way.
Running long
Land it in one sentence
- Say the result
- Then stop and ask: more detail?
Nice
Strong answer. 3 in a row
The awkward questions too
A salary range from the target on your profile, and the questions worth asking back before time runs out.
Salary
Give a range, not a number
- Say $150k to $170k
Next
Ask your questions now
- What does success look like in six months?
English and Hebrew
It picks up the language of the interview on its own, and every cue and chapter comes in it. Hebrew cues never guess your gender.
Save
לנשום. לקנות רגע
- להגיד: שאלה טובה, רגע לחשוב
- להתחיל ממה שידוע לך

- להודות על הזמן
- לשאול: מה השלבים הבאים?
Screens shown with sample data.
Never on your screen share.
Share your whole screen if they ask. The cues are on your phone, not on the screen they see.
It never makes a sound
Every cue is on a screen. No voice, no audio, nothing played into the call.
Nothing joins the call
No bot in the meeting and no plugin for Zoom or Meet. It hears through your phone on the desk, or the sound of your call tab. The picture is never read.
Never on your screen share
On a computer it only listens. The cues go to your phone, paired with one code, so there is nothing of the co-pilot on your screen to share, whatever you share.
Your phone stays awake
A locked phone stops its microphone, so the screen stays on until you end.
You say it is allowed first
Some companies do not allow AI help. Before it listens, you confirm listening is allowed for this round. The audio stays with the round so you can play it back, and you can delete it there.
Sharing your screen
Paired with your computer
Tell me about something you built
Walk them through it
- Headline in one line
- The old way, then yours
- The result, with a number
Still to say: the result
The whole screen is shared, and there is no cue on it. They are on the phone beside you.
A minute after you hang up, the honest read.
The likely result, what went well, the stronger answer to each question and a plan for the next round. It lands in Coach beside every other interview, so patterns across rounds show up too.
My read of the result
Likely moving onYou set the requirements and the numbers before drawing, and they followed your design.

A read of the transcript, not the company’s decision.

Instead: two numbers first, then the diagram.

The rest of your search
A tracker records what happened. This one tells you what it means.
Everything here reads your own board: not a model's impression of the job market, but counts over the applications you actually sent.
Where your applications actually die

Pick a phase. Every line is a count over the applications above it, so anything here can be checked against the board.
Ask why you keep getting rejected. Get an answer with the count behind it.
Seven rejections is a pattern. One is noise. Ask in plain language and it reads every job description on your board against your resume at once, then names the thing they had in common.
Every line carries the number it rests on, and where the count is too small to mean anything, it says so instead of answering.
Why did I get those seven rejections, and how do I fix it?

Nothing on offer negotiation yet. You have had 0 offers, and one would not be a pattern.
A record that keeps itself, and notices what you missed.
Forward the email and the row files itself: company, role, stage, the contact who wrote to you. You are not maintaining this.
And because it is kept for you rather than by you, it sees the thing a spreadsheet structurally cannot: nothing happening. Silence never gets typed into a cell. Here it surfaces on its own.

Every status change is an event, not an overwrite, which is what makes the third row possible at all.
Say what you want in a sentence. It goes and finds it.
Not a filter over a job board. Describe the search the way you would to a friend, including what the move is for, and it goes looking, then argues both sides of every company it brings back.
It re-checks every week for free, and nothing it finds reaches your board unless you put it there.

The case against
Two VPs in four years. Against a goal of staying five, that is the risk.
A company with nothing open at your level is listed as exactly that, never fitted with a role it does not have.
Record the round. Find out how you actually came across.
An interview is the one part you cannot practise alone, and the one you walk out of sure it went fine. The recording says otherwise, in numbers: how much of the hour you took, how long your longest answer ran, how often you filled a pause, how many questions you asked back.
Then it holds those against your own rounds that advanced, so “you talk too much” becomes 71% against the 54% that got you through, which is a thing you can practise.

Read straight off the email, and the resume is the one already on this application. Open the row and each field shows the line it came from.
The part nobody sees.
You are the product, the salesperson and the only person on your side. You send the application, you wait, and when nothing comes back nobody tells you which of the forty was the mistake.
Forty sent. Nine replies. No pattern you can see from the inside.
An hour on the call, and nobody to tell you what that follow-up was really asking.
Two offers on a Thursday, and a decision made on a feeling.
From here you are not doing it alone. Not because something is cheering for you. Because something is finally keeping score beside you, and in the room with you, and will tell you the truth about what it sees, including the parts you would rather it did not.
No user counts, no logo wall.
There is not an honest one to show yet. Here are four things you can check instead.
It reads the email, not your inbox
You get a private forwarding address. LandMode never asks for access to your mailbox and could not read it if it wanted to: the sign-in scopes are openid, email and profile.
Every field shows its source
Open any application it filled in and each value carries the line of the email or posting it was read from. Nothing is asserted without the evidence attached.
It says when it does not know
Paste a search results page and it refuses to invent a role, then offers the real ones it found. A company with nothing open at your level is listed as exactly that.
Nothing is sent on your behalf
It drafts follow-ups, cover letters and tailored bullets. You send them. No auto-apply, no messages to a recruiter you did not write.
It does not forget the last one.
Every other tracker models one job hunt and throws it away the moment you accept. Here a search is a period with its own goals, its own results and its own ending, so three years later you can still answer why you moved.
And the numbers span them. Your response rate this time against the last time, what you said you wanted then, and whether you actually got it.
One tension
You want the biggest offer you can get and somewhere you can stay five years, at a 100–400 person company. Those trade against each other: the places paying top of band for a VP are the ones with the most pressure on a two-year horizon. Which gives, if one has to?
- 2019Accepted

Goals written down, so a company that pays more but breaks one of them ranks lower, and says which one.

Free comes with 30 interview minutes a month, enough for one short screen or a practice round, and 30 AI runs for reading your resume, running one real search and working five applications properly.

Interview minutes cover the live co-pilot and uploaded recordings together. Importing your spreadsheet is free on every plan. Tailored variants do not count against the resume limit, and neither cache hits nor failed runs consume an AI run.
The questions people actually ask.
Can the interviewer see or hear it?
No. It never makes a sound and nothing joins the call. With a phone on the desk, the phone is its screen. On a computer it only listens, and the cues show on your phone, so sharing your screen shows none of them.
Am I allowed to use it?
That is up to the company, so check the invite: some do not allow AI help in interviews. It also hears the interviewer, so before it starts you confirm listening is allowed for that round. The audio stays with the round so you can play it back, and you can delete it there.
Which calls and languages does it work with?
With a phone on the desk, anything you can put on speaker: Zoom, Meet, Teams. On a computer the call has to be in a browser tab, because it listens to that tab’s sound. It follows English and Hebrew and picks the language up on its own. It does not do rounds in person.
Do I have to give you access to my email?
No, and you cannot. LandMode requests only the openid, email and profile scopes when you sign in. It has no Gmail permission of any kind. Tracking works by forwarding: you get a private address and send it whatever you want filed. Forwarding is the permission, one message at a time.
What happens when it reads something wrong?
You correct it, and nothing was saved as fact before you did. Every parsed field is editable and marked as read, inferred or flagged, so you can see what the machine decided about you before agreeing to it.
Does it work with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday?
Yes, and it does not depend on them. Postings from the major applicant tracking systems are read directly, and anything else arrives the same way every confirmation email does: by forward.
Will it apply to jobs for me?
No. Auto-apply is a deliberate non-goal. A bad application sent under your name without your review is worse than the time it saves, so drafting is in scope and sending never is.
I already have a spreadsheet. Do I start over?
No. Paste it into the importer and it maps your columns, previews the result, and saves nothing until you have checked it. Importing is free on every plan.
Start with the resume you already have.
It reads it once and lets you argue with every field before anything is saved. When the first round comes, take a practice one with the co-pilot first, so the real one is not the first time you hear it.
Start freeNothing is auto-applied. Nothing is ever sent for you.
