Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) is how many startups hire and how many candidates still discover companies. A complete profile with a real launch post in the updates feed is useful. It is not a hunter board.
If you are not hiring, a thin Wellfound page is still a crawled company record. Keep it consistent with LinkedIn.

## Best for
- Startups that will hire in the next year
- A public company URL besides the .com

## Skip if
- Consumer launch week
- Paying for jobs you will not interview
- Replacing LinkedIn

## FAQ

No. It is a hiring graph with company pages. Include it in company hygiene, not in hunter week.

### Is it free?
Company profiles are free. Hiring tools are paid.
