Monograph is a San Francisco-based productivity software company, creating intuitive tools to automate practice operations for architecture, landscape, and design firms. While the company had a large pipeline of candidates, they struggled to find highly skilled and diverse engineering talent that fit their unique culture. Wellfound leveraged an AI-driven, human-assisted recruiting approach to deliver to Monograph their first qualified candidate within two business days and a solid talent pipeline within one week.
Monograph is an early-stage software company that empowers architects and designers to focus on their designs by creating visually appealing, automated workflows that streamline their project management. Founded in 2016 by a collective of former architects, Monograph is building a company culture that supports a plurality of diverse backgrounds and perspectives, where team members can openly learn from one another. Monograph’s founders were eager to expand their team.
Despite having a large pool of potential employees, only one of them truly suited their unique culture. Monograph found it was tough to independently increase the volume of appropriate candidates, especially in the midst of a pandemic.
Wellfound utilized their AI-based Virtual Recruiter platform and rich talent graph to match Monograph with skilled candidates with varied backgrounds that perfectly met their needs. After generating automated and highly personalized pitches elaborating the mutual fit between each candidate and the hiring team, Wellfound’s Virtual Recruiter began contacting talent directly on behalf of the CTO.
Wellfound was able to deliver to Monograph their first qualified, interview-ready candidate within two business days since the partnership started. Monograph’s desired candidate pool ballooned from one to 11 within one week, and they made two engineering hires from the candidates Wellfound provided within six weeks.
“With the growth of our company and commitment to culture, I can't imagine us scaling our team without them.”
“We tried outbound prospecting and cold emailing to reach potential candidates. We even tried LinkedIn direct messages, but there was not enough intent on the candidate side… with Wellfound we have candidates who have the intent and actually want to work at an early stage startup. They’re more aware of the risks and benefits.”
“What we’ve found through Curated is better candidates, faster sourcing, less headache, and overall better results. To sum it up, here at Trace, what we give our customers is time back; what Wellfound did for me as the hiring manager is much the same — it gave me time back. There’s so much noise on the other platforms, we didn’t find that on Wellfound.”
“My sourcer met with me, understood the job, screened every single candidate, and only sent me candidates that were worth considering. I was very picky, so they continued to work with me to refine the search. It was amazing service. Through that process we've got two viable candidates that we could extend offers to. We actually extended on this morning who's going to work out.“
