Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) is not the only AI sourcing tool in the market, yet what this software does so well that makes it stand out from many others we’ve tested is the vibrant community of tech professionals it hosts. Over ten million job seekers have built resumes on the platform and shared not just their work experience but also what they are looking for in their next job—something you won’t find in even good brands like SeekOut or LinkedIn.

If you’ve used Wellfound’s free ATS like we have, you know it's great, but it does have limits, with the talent reach confined to just its talent community. However, the pool becomes much bigger as you switch to the RecruiterCloud Autopilot module. Besides the in-house community, Wellfound will tap into its partner network of 500M+ profiles to find you the right matches. What we love about this module is that it’s not all left to AI—there's a real human touch involved to ensure that the 5-10 top candidates you get every week are the best fit for your needs.

If you prefer keeping everything in-house, RecruiterCloud Self-service is the way to go. As its name suggests, this module provides search engines and outreach to manage your sourcing and screenings.

A word to the wise, though: Wellfound is super focused on tech-related roles in product, engineering, or growth, so if those aren't your main hiring needs, don’t go for this tool.

We’d offer the same advice to those seeking an all-in-one recruitment solution that can also handle some parts of HR: look for enterprise-centered vendors like VidCruiter or BambooHR instead. Despite being stellar for what it does—connecting you with top-notch tech talent—Wellfound has no features like native onboarding, employee experience enhancements, or performance tracking. Plus, its integration options are limited to a few major ATS.
