How It Works

Three steps from open role to warm introduction

Drafted connects to your team's professional profiles, maps every relevant connection to your open roles, and delivers introduction requests your employees can send in one click.

Connect Your Team

Map your company's collective professional network

Employees connect their LinkedIn and professional profiles through Drafted's secure OAuth flow. We never store passwords and only read public connection data. Once connected, Drafted builds a unified graph of every team member's professional relationships, weighted by connection strength and relevance to your open roles.

  • Secure OAuth, read-only access
  • No passwords stored, ever
  • Average onboarding under 10 minutes

Surface Warm Paths

Find candidates your team already knows

Post an open role and Drafted's graph engine scores every reachable candidate by connection strength, mutual overlap, and role fit. You see ranked warm paths showing exactly which employee knows the candidate and how well, so you can prioritize the most likely-to-reply introductions first.

  • Ranked by connection strength and fit
  • Second-degree paths surfaced automatically
  • Candidate profile summary included

Send the Introduction

One click from recruiter request to employee introduction

Drafted drafts the introduction message for your employee, pre-populated with context about the role and the candidate. The employee reviews, personalizes, and sends with one click from their own account. Recruiters track every request and response in a single pipeline view with no additional tools required.

  • AI-drafted intro messages, employee-editable
  • Sends from the employee's own account
  • Full pipeline tracking in one dashboard

Built for Talent Teams

Everything recruiters need, nothing they don't

Drafted integrates with the ATS you already use and adds warm-path intelligence on top, not a parallel workflow.

ATS Integration

Syncs with Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday. Candidate statuses update in both directions, no manual entry.

Privacy by Design

Employees control their own data. Connection graphs are never shared outside your company. GDPR and CCPA compliant.

Analytics Dashboard

Track referral rates, introduction acceptance, time-to-hire from warm paths, and network coverage by team and department.

Automated Nudges

Smart reminders to employees who haven't responded yet, without spamming the people who already replied.
