Requirements

A startup/company — Wellfound is a startup recruiting marketplace, not a product directory; the durable listing asset is the company profile plus (optionally) job posts
Recruiter account via wellfound.com/onboarding/recruit

Company profile assets: mission/description, logo, team size, funding stage, perks, press
Job details if posting roles: title, location/remote regions, compensation range, screening questions
Optional: connect Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or Workable for ATS sync

Sign up at wellfound.com/onboarding/recruit (or Log in)
Create the company profile (~3 minutes per their FAQ)
Create a job listing (title, location, comp, description, screening questions) or keep just the profile
Publish — the listing enters Wellfound search, candidate email alerts, and is indexed by search engines
Optionally pay to promote a job (from $200/job) for top-of-results placement

Job posts are free and unlimited, but the site's monetization pushes Promoted Jobs ($200+/job), Wellfound Reach (AI sourcing), and Autopilot (managed recruiting) — expect upsell prompts
Listings with comp shown, a complete company profile, and 1–2 screening questions perform better
Confidential/stealth listings are supported — company name/logo hidden until candidate intro approval
This is a hiring surface; using it purely for a backlink with a fake job risks moderation

A public company page on wellfound.com/company/<name> and any job posts indexed at wellfound.com/jobs/<company>/<role>
