@benhoffman_ Thanks Ben! Thanks for using Drafted, and looking forward to hearing your feedback about the Slack integration :)
Great Slack integration! Building a team is always a challenge. This will help a lot and it is right in Slack where our team discuss new hires. Very slick!
@michaelsheeley Thanks for the support Mike! Curious to see who you hire next ;)
Great idea! How does it find people to refer? Do everyone need to connect their social accounts?
@joacimwe Good question - Drafted uses a combination of LinkedIn connections, publicly guessable connections, Google contacts, and some profile scraping to find people. Every person on the team can opt-in to connect with whatever they prefer - whether it's LinkedIn, Google for Work, personal Gmail, or nothing at all. Drafted only requires the first hiring manager to connect something, so that you get at least 1 recommendation.
Great release, @pseudovirtual! This pulls together a lot of the Drafted platform to make recruiting and referrals frictionless. I noticed that the referral rewards for each position are not mentioned by the bot. Must be an intentional move. Why did you decide to exclude that info from the chat design?
@kunalslab Thanks for the kind words Kunal - that's a great question. Our goal with building the Slack app was to make referrals easy and fun, more than anything else. Our choice to exclude the rewards in this version was based on two things - first, to keep the cognitive load low, and second, based on our finding that most people don't refer for the money, but they expect a reward if their referral gets hired. This means that rewards are better communicated as rewards and not incentives :)
As someone who has hired hundreds of people, I know referrals are the best hires. Anything to make that easier is very valuable!
@mvolpe Thanks for the support :) Open to suggestions for anything else we can do!

Hey @dharmesh thanks so much for hunting this! We're really excited about this launch. It's based on a lot of feedback from early Drafted users that wanted an easier way to engage their teams when hiring.
No one wakes up in the morning and thinks "hey I'm going to refer someone today". DraftedBot makes timely and interesting suggestions for people who you might be able to refer.
DraftedBot helps you find people in your network that match open positions at your company, and allows you to refer them to the hiring team right through Slack.
You can invite channels or individuals, everything is opt-in, and DraftedBot can actually put new referrals right into your applicant tracking system, too. Any feedback, questions, and feature requests especially, most welcome :)
@pseudovirtual You had me at "we have a bot that makes it easy." :) Best wishes.
I love it when a Slack app is truly useful! And who doesn't need hiring help... Great job Vinayak & team!
@parulia Thanks Parul - we're hoping that teams will love using this instead of having to fill out resume forms :)
Love finding an app on PH that I can use today. We're about to put out the feelers for a new hire and already discussing extensively on Slack. You guys wire-tapping us? Seriously- thank you Drafted for inserting something useful right into the middle of what we were in the middle of doing #middleSquared (?). Will let you know how it goes.
@christian_allen that just made my day :) -- makes all the customer interviews and user conversations worth it.
