“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.”

“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.”

“Wellfound is more helpful than other sourcing tools because it’s easy to use and the candidates are warmer, active, and more responsive. The platform specializes in talent who want to work at startups and are motivated to make that jump.”

“It’s been great for really high volume sourcing. When I have positions that are evergreen or that I’m continuously hiring for like engineers, Wellfound is the place to go, because you know you’re always going to get a lot of candidates. I spend majority of my time sourcing there.”

“She [Trim’s AngelList account manager] joined our Slack. She made it easy for me to be in contact and really got to know what we're looking for. She sends us a list of about eight personalized candidates each week, and I typically move forward with at least five to six every time. She asks for feedback, she reads what I share, and she calibrates. I just think that's amazing.”

“Curated candidates are more senior than the candidates I see with competitors. They’re on the ball with interviewing, and they know what they’re looking for—likely to say this is a good opportunity or this is not for me. They don’t waste any time.“
