Reputation:
Under its former brand name, AngelList, Wellfound received mixed reviews from users. User reviews on Quora are mostly positive and AngelList is seen as a great place for startups to connect with skilled tech workers.
On Sitejabber, however, the platform received 3.1 out of 5 stars based on more than 30 reviews. While some users claim that jobs are outdated, others complain about poor customer support and that the site’s design isn’t user-friendly.

Wellfound vs. ICTCareer:
Wellfound focuses on global tech startups, while ICTCareer is an Australia-based information and communications technology hub for news, jobs, conferences, events, and education opportunities. Wellfound allows unlimited free and paid job postings, whereas ICTCareer charges A$210.00 +GST for a single job advert.
Wellfound vs. TechSydney Job Board:
Wellfound caters to the global tech startup space and offers free and paid job postings and access to job seeker profiles. While TechSydney Job Board is also a tech hub with a focus on startups and offers a free job posting service, its audience is much smaller but highly targeted, as the site caters to the tech market in Sydney specifically.
Wellfound vs. SEEK:
While SEEK advertises general vacancies throughout Australia, Wellfound serves both the local and international tech startup job market. SEEK is more popular amongst local employers, but it does not offer the same targeted hiring solutions as Wellfound. Unlike Wellfound, SEEK only offers paid job posting options.
