What is wellfound:ai Applicants? And how do I set it up?

Wellfound:ai Applicants allows you to review and process inbound applicants from your ATS using our unique tools. These applicants have applied to your job postings via your connected ATS but have yet to be processed.

Why process your applicants using wellfound:ai


Our candidate filtering transcends traditional ATS systems and AI resume screening tools by processing candidates' profiles using a talent graph with detailed company information. This goes beyond simple keyword matching.


Instead, it results in powerful insights into a candidate's background in the context of their previous employers' size, industry, and growth stage. Allowing you to receive superior matching and run expressive, nuanced searches, such as "Find candidates with experience in early-stage startups developing online marketplaces."


By responding to complex candidate criteria that truly matter to your unique hiring needs wellfound:ai uncovers and highlights qualified candidates that other tools would miss.

How Does it Work?

  1. Connect to your ATS: As this product is still in beta, our team must manually connect AI Applicants for you.

    We currently support Greenhouse. If you have questions about setting up inbound, please email us at talent@wellfound.com or use your company's dedicated Slack channel to talk to Wellfound support.

  2. Review and Refine: Quickly scan through AI-sorted candidates using our standardized, enriched profiles. Easily adjust filters and criteria to fine-tune your candidate pool.
  3. Take Action: Process candidates individually supported by our detailed profile views. Accept, or reject candidates. All actions are automatically synced back to your ATS, maintaining your existing workflow.
