Weekday

Frequently looked up

Q1What does Weekday do?

Weekday finds candidates, drafts and sends personalized outbound messages, follows up across multiple channels, and delivers interested, pre-vetted candidates ready to interview. It combines a large verified talent database, AI that surfaces the best mutual fits, and done-for-you multi-channel outreach to reach the roughly 70% of the workforce that is passive and never applies.

Q2How do the Contingency and Marketplace Subscription models differ?

Contingency puts a dedicated Weekday recruiter on your role who finds candidates, reaches out, and hands you only the interested ones, while also scheduling every interview round. Marketplace Subscription gives your own team direct access to Weekday's database and smart filters, and Weekday still emails, WhatsApps, and calls the candidates you show interest in.

Q3What response rates does Weekday achieve on outbound campaigns?

Weekday consistently achieves 30-50% response rates on outbound campaigns, which is roughly three to five times the industry baseline where generic cold outreach typically lands below 15%. This high response rate comes from surfacing genuine mutual-fit candidates and following up across email, WhatsApp, and phone.

Q4How does Weekday's outreach process work?

Weekday's AI writes personalized, high-converting outreach emails and sends automated follow-ups. If a candidate doesn't respond, Weekday layers in WhatsApp reminders and then a phone call from its team to get a clear yes or no. All replies route back to the hiring team to schedule interviews with the candidates they like.

Q5Is Weekday suitable for non-technical hiring roles?

Yes, Weekday works across all roles including engineering, product, design, GTM, and sales. While Weekday is purpose-built for engineering and technical hiring, it can handle both technical and non-technical roles.
