Weekday

Weekday, headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, and operating remotely, is a prominent player in the B2B recruiting and talent sector. As a part of the Y-Combinator W21 batch, the company has gained significant recognition, including a feature on TechCrunch in August 2023. Weekday specializes in services that automate and enhance the recruitment process for engineering positions. Their product portfolio includes a unique offering where individuals can earn passive income by recommending engineering candidates, thus enabling anyone to become a scout. The company guarantees to schedule five interviews for a client within five days of signing up and maintains a robust database of over 800,000 passive engineers while adding 1,500 active job-seeking engineers weekly. Weekday’s ‘Sourcing on autopilot’ and ‘Outreach Copilot’ services allow companies to find and reach out to potential candidates through personalized messaging across multiple channels such as Email, WhatsApp, LinkedIn InMail, and phone calls. They charge a fee of 15% of the first year’s salary, offering a full refund if the candidate leaves within a month. Additionally, Weekday provides a free trial of their platform, publishes a blog with insightful articles on recruiting and talent acquisition, and offers a Chrome Extension to enhance user experience. They also provide valuable resources like a list of companies still hiring and a database detailing companies’ work culture. Client testimonials on their website further attest to the positive impact of their services.
