About Weekday
Weekday is an AI-powered recruiting platform built around India's engineering talent market. Startups and enterprises use it to find and hire software engineers: Weekday's AI searches and filters candidates, automates outreach across email, WhatsApp, and phone, and, distinctively, surfaces upfront reference checks so a hiring team can see how a candidate is actually regarded by other engineers before they even interview, rather than relying only on a resume. It offers two ways to work with hiring companies: a contingency model, where Weekday sources candidates and manages interviews for a success fee (commonly cited around 15% of first-year salary), and a subscription-based, self-service marketplace with outreach credits for teams that want more control. It also runs a job board and candidate-facing tools, AI-assisted job applications, resume scoring, company culture reviews, and salary research. Weekday was founded in 2021 by Amit Singh, who is CEO, along with Chetan Dalal and Anubhav Malik, as part of Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch. It is headquartered in Bengaluru, India, and employs roughly 25 people. The company raised about $2.2 to $2.3 million in seed funding led by Venture Highway, with angel investors including Kunal Shah and Amit Singhal.

For Weekday's own team: Indian market bands in INR, competitive for the Bengaluru tech and YC-backed startup market by level, typically with equity. This does NOT describe pay for roles sourced through the Weekday platform, those are set by the individual hiring company. Pay is not published; confirm per role.
Who Weekday hires
Weekday's own team is small (roughly 25 people), focused on building and operating its recruiting platform. Roles likely include software engineering (backend, frontend, and the AI/matching systems behind candidate sourcing and outreach), product management and design, and the human side of its service: talent sourcing specialists and recruiters who run its contingency search process and reference checks, plus customer success and sales for its subscription clients. It's important to separate this from what most people encounter on Weekday: startups and companies who hire through the platform, and engineers who get sourced and interviewed for THOSE companies' roles, neither of which is employment at Weekday itself. Application flow for Weekday's own team lives at weekday.works and its LinkedIn page. Weekday is headquartered in Bengaluru and its own team is India-focused; check directly with the company for remote eligibility on any specific opening, since this is not stated publicly in detail.
