FAQs

How is Weekday different from hiring marketplaces like Naukri or Instahyre?

Unlike platforms focusing mainly on active job seekers, Weekday provides access to nearly the entire potential candidate pool (similar to LinkedIn) but includes readily available email and phone numbers, leading to higher response rates (>50%) compared to InMail (<10%). It facilitates reaching passive candidates.
What is the difference between the Contingency (Autopilot) and Subscription models?

In the Contingency model, Weekday manages hiring end-to-end, finding, contacting, and scheduling interviews with interested candidates. In the Subscription model, companies get access to the database and outreach tools to find candidates themselves, while Weekday still handles email, WhatsApp, and call follow-ups for candidates marked with interest.
Why is the Contingency model priced at a 15% success fee?

The 15% fee reflects the premium service of accessing and discovering a wider, often passive, candidate pool not available through standard agencies, focusing on quality of talent acquisition.
Can candidates use Weekday?

Yes, Weekday offers tools for candidates, including AI-powered job application assistance, resume building, salary information, and job browsing.
Is a free trial available for the hiring services?

Users can sign up for free to explore the database and get limited free credits. The contingency model also serves as a risk-free trial, as payment is only due upon successful hire.
