Frequently Asked Questions


For Candidates:

How does Alara work for candidates?

You fill out a 60-second intake form with your skills, preferences, and LinkedIn/resume. Our system matches you with open roles at AI startups, shows you why you’re a fit, and connects you with the hiring manager.

Is Alara free for candidates?

Yes, completely free. We want you focused on finding the right role, not paying to access opportunities.

How are matches ranked?

Matches are based on an AI algorithm that compares you based on categories including skills, role requirements, and preferences like location, work style, and compensation. You’ll always see your top opportunities first.

Will founders actually see my profile?

Yes. When you’re a strong match for a role, we surface your profile to the founder or hiring manager directly.

For Founders:

How does Alara work for founders?

You share your open role (takes 2 minutes). We immediately start matching you with candidates who fit, and deliver a curated and ranked slate of applicants.

How much does it cost?

Your first role post is free. After that, we’ll work with you on a simple, affordable plan as we grow.

What makes Alara different from LinkedIn or job boards?

Instead of wading through thousands of resumes, you’ll get a ranked list of serious, pre-qualified candidates. Less noise, faster hires.

How are candidates vetted?

Every candidate signs up directly with Alara. We verify basic information, normalize skill sets, and only surface serious, qualified applicants.

Can I edit or remove my role after posting?

Yes, you’ll be able to update, pause, or close roles anytime.
