Drafted

Drafted is a network-recruiting and employee-referral platform, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a Y Combinator portfolio company. The product helps companies tap their collective network to source, qualify, and hire talent: a Drafted Slackbot delivers weekly intelligent referral recommendations and lets teams submit referrals straight into their ATS from Slack, while NLP, machine learning, and a graph database of the company network extend matching beyond first-degree employee connections to surface higher-quality referrals. Drafted has been used by thousands of companies ranging from startups to large enterprises. This profile was seeded from a VC-portfolio lead; at enrichment time the public web surface (drafted.us) was not serving a live product site and no public API, developer documentation, or specification could be found.

Drafted is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Recruiting, Hiring, Employee Referrals, and Talent Acquisition.
