Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
Weekday is a YC W21 AI sourcing agent that searches 300M+ profiles across the US and India and chases replies by email, WhatsApp and phone. The Subscription is quote-based with no free trial, and a Contingency option costs 15% of annual salary per hire. It fits tech teams hiring engineers, especially in India, who want outreach done for them.
Stands out for: Weekday adds human follow-up to AI outreach: its team WhatsApps and calls candidates who ignore email, which it credits for a 50%+ response rate. Its database covers roughly 80% of India's white-collar workforce, with filters for early employees at scaled startups and promotion history. Buyers can pick a credit Subscription or a Contingency model at 15% of salary with a 60-day replacement period.
Watch out for: Coverage is deepest in India, so US-only teams should test match quality on a demo before committing. Subscription pricing is set on a call and Weekday says it offers no free trial for it. Contingency at 15% of annual salary adds up quickly across several senior hires.
Overview
Weekday is a Y Combinator (W21) company founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, built by founders who previously sold a startup to ShareChat. It positions itself as an AI recruiter for outbound sourcing, with a focus on engineering and technical roles.
The platform searches verified work history and contact details for 300M+ professionals across the US and India. Coverage is deepest in India, where Weekday says it reaches about 80% of the white-collar workforce. Smart filters surface early employees at scaled startups, people promoted within one company, and candidates from tagged sectors, with Boolean search and automatic ranking.
Outreach is where Weekday differs from most sourcing tools. Its AI writes personalized emails and follow-ups, then Weekday's own team sends WhatsApp reminders and calls candidates who still have not answered, and replies route to your inbox. Weekday reports 30% to 50%+ response rates on outbound campaigns.
There are 2 ways to buy. The Subscription gives your team the database, smart filters and 10,000 to 150,000 outreach credits at a price set on a demo, with no free trial. Contingency pairs you with a senior Weekday recruiter for 15% of annual salary, charged only on a hire, with a 60-day replacement period.

Pricing
Weekday does not publish a price for its self-serve Subscription. That plan includes 10,000 to 150,000 outreach credits, AI smart filters, and email, WhatsApp and phone follow-ups by Weekday's team, and the price is set on a demo based on hiring volume. Annual discounts are also agreed on a call. Weekday's other model, Contingency, is a done-for-you recruiting service that charges 15% of the hire's annual salary, costs nothing if no hire is made, and includes a 60-day replacement period. Weekday states it offers no free trial on the Subscription. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
