To post a role, complete the company profile, add those details, choose the application route, and publish only after the job promise is accurate. This guide walks through the current posting flow, pricing routes, and the checks that help a startup decide whether it needs more reach, proactive sourcing, or a connected ATS. ## Key takeaways - Wellfound still lets employers post unlimited jobs for free, but the current free route requires compensation information. Wellfound’s support page says a listing needs salary and/or equity to post for free; otherwise, promotion may be required. - Wellfound’s current product page presents four distinct routes: Wellfound Jobs at $0 forever, Promoted Jobs from $200 per job, Wellfound Reach at $135 per seat per month, and Wellfound Autopilot at $500 per month per role plus 10% on hire. - Wellfound Jobs includes a built-in ATS or two-way sync with integrations such as Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable. That makes the platform useful for startup hiring, but the ATS should still be the system of record when several channels are involved. - The platform’s strongest fit is startup and [technology hiring](https://recooty.com/industries/agentic-recruiting-platform-for-saas-tech-and-software-hiring) where candidates care about salary, equity, company stage, mission, and founder or team context. It is not a universal replacement for general job boards. - Use a complete salary and equity range, location or remote eligibility, funding or stage context, clear responsibilities, and a short screening flow. Measure qualified applicants, replies, interviews, offers, and hires rather than free-post volume. AngelList Talent is now Wellfound, a startup-focused job board and [recruitment platform](https://recooty.com/). The free route can work when you are ready to show compensation and manage applicants promptly; paid products add visibility, sourcing, or recruiting capacity. The steps below show how to complete a company profile, enter job details, assign the recruiting contact, and publish the role.

Choose the route from the bottleneck in your startup hiring funnel. If the team is comparing platforms, this list of [AI recruiting software](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/list-of-top-recruitment-software-by-hr-experts) can help narrow the shortlist. | Hiring bottleneck | Current Wellfound route | What it provides | Best measure | | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | Need startup-market visibility | Wellfound Jobs | Unlimited free listings, candidate search, alerts, and built-in ATS | Qualified applications and response time | | Need more visibility for one role | Promoted Jobs | Top-of-results placement and a dedicated email or network boost | Incremental qualified applications per dollar | | Need proactive sourcing | Wellfound Reach | AI sourcing agents, personalized outreach, and inbox workflow | Reply rate, interested candidates, and interviews | | Need managed recruiting capacity | Wellfound Autopilot | Dedicated recruiter and stated weekly candidate delivery | Qualified slate, time to slate, and hire outcome | | Need one cross-channel pipeline | Wellfound plus recruitment software | Two-way ATS sync or one central candidate record | Source accuracy and stage conversion | Wellfound’s [current hiring platform page](https://wellfound.com/recruit/overview) lists Jobs at $0 forever, Reach at $135 per seat per month, and Autopilot at $500 per month per role plus 10% on hire. Its [current job-posting page](https://reach.wellfound.com/post-a-job) lists Promoted Jobs from $200 per job and explains the free compensation requirement. Verify the live product page before budgeting. ### Choose the route that fixes the bottleneck Start with a transparent free listing if you can show salary and equity and have time to review applicants. Promote when the role is relevant but underexposed. Use proactive sourcing when the talent pool is small or passive, and managed recruiting when the internal team cannot create a qualified slate fast enough. ## Wellfound job quality checklist for startup hiring 1. **Show compensation.** Include salary range, equity range, currency, and whether the figures are base, total, or grant-related. 2. **Explain the startup context.** State the funding stage, team size, product, traction, and the problem the role will own when those details are public and accurate. 3. **Use a real title.** Avoid inflated titles that make a small team sound like a large hierarchy. 4. **Describe the first-year outcome.** Candidates need to know what they will build, change, or own in the first six to twelve months. 5. **Set remote and visa rules clearly.** State eligible countries, time zones, office expectations, relocation support, and visa sponsorship. 6. **Separate must-haves from preferences.** Startup candidates may have transferable experience, so avoid turning a wish list into a hard filter. 7. **Use structured screening.** Ask a small number of job-related questions and score candidates against the same outcomes. 8. **Keep the company profile consistent.** Match the product story, team details, salary, equity, and role promise on Wellfound, the careers page, and the ATS. Wellfound’s current platform page reports more than 10 million opted-in candidates, 27,000+ hiring companies, and 100,000+ hires. These are platform-reported audience claims, not a guarantee for one role. Startup context and compensation transparency can help candidates self-select before screening. ## Wellfound and ATS measurement plan | Funnel stage | Metric | Decision | | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Visibility | Views, candidate-email reach, and promoted impressions | Improve title, compensation, profile, or promotion | | Intent | Applications, replies, and outreach response rate | Compare inbound Jobs with Reach or direct sourcing | | Quality | Qualified-application and screening-pass rate | Adjust requirements and scorecard | | Selection | Interview, offer, and acceptance rate | Review hiring manager calibration and candidate promise | | Economics | Promotion spend, Reach seat cost, Autopilot fee, and cost per hire | Keep the route that creates qualified progress | | Experience | Response time, candidate drop-off, and offer feedback | Fix slow handoffs and unclear startup expectations | For broader distribution, connect Wellfound to [Recooty’s applicant tracking system](https://recooty.com/applicant-tracking-system) and compare it with [how to choose the right recruitment software](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/how-to-choose-the-right-recruitment-software). If candidates apply on a branded site, use [how to create a career page that converts](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/how-to-create-a-career-page-that-converts) to make the compensation and company story consistent. ## A practical Wellfound hiring decision Use Wellfound when startup context and compensation transparency match your audience. Start with the free route when the role is ready and your team can respond; add promotion, sourcing, or recruiting support only when the measured bottleneck calls for it. ## Supercharge Your Hiring with Recooty ![Post Job on Wellfound using Recooty](https://recooty.com/resources/blogs/media/2024/09/Post-Job-on-Wellfound-using-an-ATS.jpg) While Wellfound is excellent for startup hiring, [Recooty](https://recooty.com/) takes your recruitment process even further.
