Wellfound is one of the easiest platforms to use when it comes to discovering startups, exploring open roles, and connecting with founders or hiring managers directly. I like that it focuses specifically on startups, which makes the opportunities more relevant compared to general job portals. The user interface is clean, intuitive, and helps me find companies and roles that match my interests without getting lost in unnecessary details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is extremely helpful, the response rate from companies can sometimes be low, which makes it hard to understand whether an application is still being considered. Some job postings also appear to stay active even if the role has already been filled, which can create confusion. Adding more filters or verification for active jobs would make the experience even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Wellfound has the ability to search for talent all around the world in varying areas of work. The options and selection for candidates was way larger than I thought it would be and the criteria such as price, location, experience, and availability that can be filtered out is great. It is easy to use Wellfound and no additional integrations are needed once on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides about Wellfound are how it does not have the availability for founders or folks hiring to see video recordings of candidates looking for work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked how simple it was to post a job without going through tons of checks and verifications. It’s also great that there’s a free posting option, and there’s no pressure to upgrade to a paid plan — a huge plus for early-stage startups with tight budgets. Other platforms promised free listings but turned out to require payment at the final step. With Wellfound, everything was transparent from the start, which I appreciated. Messaging with candidates is easy, and the application management tools are very convenient too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is great. Maybe the only thing I didn't like was the duplicate email notifications after an application is accepted. But I'm sure that's customizable somewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used Wellfound to source candidates for a health tech startup and were genuinely impressed by the quality and specificity of applicants. Unlike other platforms, it didn’t just generate volume—it surfaced people with relevant experience, startup mindset, and strong fit for our culture. The UI is intuitive, filters are actually useful, and messaging was seamless. Found several qualified candidates in under a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few, if any!Nothing truly bad—just wish more top-tier profiles were actively looking or responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have found that many bootcamps and universities are recommending their students to look for internships on Wellfound. If you have a strong internship program, Wellfound is a great place to find candidates for it. Wellfound has a streamlined interface which makes matching and finding the best candidates easy. Wellfound is simple to use and especially good for finding candidates in UI/UX design and software engineering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using Wellfound to list job postings for free, it is very hard to know how much exposure your listings are getting. It is hard to tell if you need to refine your listing or if the listings just isn't being shown to too many people. It would be great if Wellfound provided more analytics to show how free listings are performing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We loved how Wellfound made it easy to connect with passionate, startup-ready talent who resonated with our mission. The platform’s messaging tools and candidate transparency helped us move quickly and build authentic relationships, even in a volunteer-driven early stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using this platform on and off since it was AngelList Talent as a job seeker. It consistently provides an amazingly simple way to connect with senior leadership and get to know companies in a user-friendly way. As a job-seeker, it was my daily go to platform to access available positions. One easy to complete profile provides AI suggested roles for ongoing access to applying to jobs selectively chosen to fit the profile. Now, as a Business Owner, my perspective on the value of this platform is enhanced even more. I know how easy it is for prospective employees to find us and apply as we offer positions. I know how easy it is for me to create a presence for our company on this valued platform. The implementation process is extremely simple, pricing is more than fair. As I had a few questions during this account creation, customer support has been extremely and instantly helpful. The integration for account setup was extremely efficient and easy. I'm excited to continue my relationship with Wellfound! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, there is a match with companies that are questionable. That isn't a fault of Wellfound, but it did take time to review the AI presented roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
