Weekday

Weekday is an AI-powered recruiting platform and modern recruiting agency, backed by Y Combinator (Winter 2021). It helps companies hire proactively rather than depending on inbound applications. Weekday's AI sourcing agent searches a database of 300M+ verified profiles to identify the best mutual fits for each open role, including passive candidates who are not actively job hunting, then runs automated outbound campaigns across email, WhatsApp, and phone. Persistent multi-channel follow-up drives a 50%+ response rate, and interested candidates are delivered directly to the hiring team, with interview scheduling handled for them. Weekday offers two models. Contingency is a full white-glove service with a dedicated senior recruiter, priced at 15% of annual salary, free if no hire is made, and backed by a 60-day replacement guarantee. The subscription copilot mode gives recruiters direct database access with AI smart filters and outreach credits. Weekday also offers free tools including an AI resume screener, resume builder, and salary lookup. It is built for startups and high-growth companies hiring engineers and technical talent.
