# LAYIQ > LAYIQ is a candidate-first job search service for people looking for work in the United States. It lists current openings pulled straight from employer career sites, re-checks them at the source, and sends every applicant to the employer's own posting to apply. LAYIQ has no sponsored listings and does not sell user data. Anyone can search and read job listings without an account.
