We’re honored to share that Planetary Talent has been named 2026 Kansas Tech Startup of the Year by @FlagshipKansas
We’re proud to be building here in Kansas, with an impact world wide. Thank you to Flagship Kansas for this recognition.
Ad astra per aspera 🚀️✨️
one of our core tenants at @PlanetaryTal is creating joyous experiences. we believe in beauty as much as function
that philosophy even extends to internal tools like a custom logging solution!
there’s no need for a log viewer to look this beautiful, but it gives me an irrational amount of joy each time I log into it
and therefore, it is totally worth it 😌
Mission update 🚀
@JC_Hardt is officially moving from President to CEO of Planetary Talent.
Since day one, Jacob has helped shape the company’s vision, operating system, and momentum as we build the future of hiring for startups.
Onward to the next frontier!

If you’re on Mars, you should be building habitats—not doing taxes. 🚀
We believe every Martian worker will have a team of 100 people on Earth.
And Planetary Talent will help them find the right ones. 🌍🪐
The future of work is planetary.
AI can support hiring.
But talent will always be human. 🌍
At Planetary Talent, we use AI to help match—but we’ll never replace people with avatars or AI agents.
The future of work is human-first. 🚀
Talent is everywhere.
Access isn’t. 🌍
Planetary Talent isn’t about cheap labor.
It’s about helping growing companies find the right person—wherever they live.
Because the best talent could be down the street… or across the planet. 🚀
End-of-century recruiting won’t be about resumes.
It’ll be about:
🌍 Knowing who you are & where you want to go
🚀 Guiding you through roles & training to get there
🎯 Instantly matching 400M people to 400M open jobs
It’s not an unsolvable problem. We’re building it.
Recruiting usually takes 6 months.
Planetary Talent delivers the first candidate in 7–10 days. 🚀
And we don’t stop there—
We make global talent accessible: employment, payroll, benefits included. 🌍
The future of hiring is speed + access.
No job description? No problem.
We start with:
🗣 Your stream of consciousness
📌 Five bullet points
🌐 A website link
We build the ideal candidate, find them, measure the match, and deliver 3–5 perfect fits.
If we miss, we refine the story and run it again. 🚀
We don’t need your job description.
We don’t need your resume.
We need context.
🌐 Website
🗣 Hiring manager insights
📖 Candidate’s story
We weave it together, measure “affinity,” and find the right match—fast. 🚀
We started with video game storytelling.
We ended up reinventing hiring.
Because at its best, hiring is two stories meeting:
📖 Talent: “This is who I am.”
📖 Company: “This is who we are.”
The future of work?
Finding the perfect story match—anywhere on Earth. 🌍
Skyrim → Star Wars: The Old Republic → Planetary Talent.
Gaming taught us creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving.
Recruiting? That’s just another world to explore. 🎮🚀
We’re using AI + gamification to reinvent the game.
