Worth knowing about Wellfound
How this was checked
Read on 2026-10-26 from wellfound.com after its robots.txt, which does not disallow these pages: the home page, the privacy policy and the salary data page. Three requests. Its recruiter pricing was not read. Counters on the home page are left out. Prices change, so check the tool’s own page before you buy. Checked 26 October 2026. Corrections go to the Contact page.
Where Wellfound’s own pages disagree
- The home page describes "AI sourcing" that surfaces you to recruiters. The privacy policy, last updated in 2023, does not mention AI or automated decisions.
