Weekday AI

Weekday AI is a data intelligence company that builds a database of professional talent and turns it into a tool for proactive tech recruitment. Its Professional Talent Database covers 250 million professionals, with candidate data compiled specifically for hiring purposes. The company focuses on tech recruitment and software engineering hiring, and says its platform is used by 2,000 companies.

The platform combines three capabilities. Intelligent Candidate Matching connects companies with engineers who are vouched by other software engineers, with a reported 50% fill rate. Multi-Channel Outreach engages candidates through email, WhatsApp and phone calls, reporting response rates of more than 50% and scheduling interviews with qualified, interested candidates. The underlying technical work spans talent database construction, intelligent candidate matching and multi-channel outreach automation.

The company's founders say they encountered hiring problems first-hand while building their previous startup, which was acquired by ShareChat. Weekday AI's stated purpose is to address shortcomings in traditional hiring, emphasising proactive recruiting over waiting for inbound applications.
