Wednesday is usage-based, on-demand, and never charges placement fees. Our aim is to be as good as a great in-house team, at about the same cost-per-hire.
Wednesday allowed us to share the personality of our team at scale. Every candidate we met with had already heard our story which allowed us to focus on their specific needs. They put us in the best possible position to hire great people.

What is the difference between Wednesday and a traditional recruiting agency?
Wednesday has 3 key differences: • We use Role Channels (videos of your team) to engage, convert, and support candidates • We are a usage-based service and will never charge placement fees • We are equally a technology company and a recruiting services company
The differences above enable us to work more efficiently while delivering a better, more modern candidate experience. We pass the savings generated from our process along to our customers so that they can get access to a high-quality recruiting service at a substantially lower cost than a traditional agency.
What is a project?
A project equates to a single role. You might have a project for a single hire (eg you need to hire 1 Enterprise Account Executive), or multiple hires for the same role (eg you need to hire 10 Customer Success Managers).
The project on Wednesday is the container for everything related to that role. You can turn projects off and on, on-demand, and have multiple projects running concurrently (for multiple roles).
What industries or job roles does your recruiting service specialize in?
We work with startups, mid-scale tech companies, professional services firms, and corporate roles (sales, marketing, HR, ...) in any industry.
How do you source and screen candidates in your recruiting service?
Manually and with our tech platform. We will determine how you want candidates screened as part of project setup; we can use anything from simple forms to 3rd party assessment tools, whatever fits your hiring process best
What is the pricing structure for using your recruiting service?
We charge $95 per project-day while we're actively recruiting. We report daily on our activity, so you can see exactly what we accomplished. We can support the recruiting process from start through interviewing and onboarding, or you can turn it off at any time (eg after sourcing).
You can make unlimited hires per project (so if you're hiring multiple people in a single role, they can all fall under 1 project and the price will not change).
Starting at 5 active projects, there is a sliding scale of volume discounts.
Do you offer any discounts or special offers for new clients or bulk hiring?
Yes, please talk to our team and we'll give you a quote.
How long does the recruiting process typically take using your service?
It's completely up to you, we will move at your speed. In general 3-5 weeks is a good rule of thumb for the 1st hire. Subsequent hires will happen faster.
For evergreen roles or volume hiring, you can keep the project running and Wednesday will continuously run the process until you turn it off.
What measures do you take to ensure the quality of candidates presented?
We pre-qualify candidates based on your requirements and phone screen candidates before presenting them. We can add additional assessments as needed.
Can your recruiting service cater to temporary, contract, or freelance positions?
It can be used for any type of role. It's designed with full-time, professional roles in mind.
How do you handle candidate negotiations?
We act as an intermediary between the company and the candidate, and can offer guidance on request.
Because we don't charge placement fees, we have no financial stake in the salary, and can be as objective as possible in our role as facilitator between company and candidate.
Do you provide any guarantees regarding the candidates you recommend?
Since we do not charge placement fees, there is no need for a guarantee. On Wednesday, you are subscribing to the recruiting process, we are not charging for the recruiting outcome. If a candidate doesn't work, simply turn the project back on and quickly backfill the position.
