AI-powered recruiting platform connecting startups with top talent.

Visit Wellfound

Wellfound is a hiring marketplace built for startups, founded as the AngelList Talent brand and spun out as an independent company in November 2022. It solves the challenge of finding and attracting startup-ready talent by connecting companies with a large, opted-in candidate pool. The platform offers a free job posting option with an unlimited number of listings and a built-in applicant tracking system, removing the upfront cost of recruiting.

Its main capabilities include Wellfound Jobs for posting and managing applicants, Wellfound Reach for self-service AI sourcing agents that search profiles and send personalized outreach from the user's own email, and Wellfound Autopilot, a managed service where a dedicated recruiter sources and schedules candidates. The platform integrates natively with ATS providers like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable. It also offers paid promoted job ads for increased visibility.

Wellfound is designed for startups at any stage, from first hires to scaling teams. Job posting is free forever, with optional paid job ads starting at a per-ad fee. Reach offers a free tier with limited contact reveals and paid seat-based plans for individual recruiters and teams. Autopilot is priced per open role per month plus a placement fee on successful hire.
