Key capabilities
Automatic talent pool building
Every candidate who applies through your career page, gets added manually, or has their resume parsed is automatically added to your permanent talent pool. No data is ever lost.
AI-powered candidate search
Search your entire talent pool with natural language. Ask for 'product designers with fintech experience in London' and get ranked results from your full candidate history.
Tags and custom fields
Organize candidates with tags, notes, and custom fields. Create talent segments like 'silver medalists,' 'referred candidates,' or 'future leadership' for quick access.
Candidate profiles with full history
Every candidate profile includes their complete interaction history: applications, interviews, scorecards, emails, and notes. Pick up any conversation exactly where it left off.
Re-engagement from the pipeline
When a new role opens, search your talent pool and add matching candidates directly to the job pipeline. Skip the sourcing phase entirely for roles you have already seen great candidates for.
Your talent pool is your most underused hiring asset
Most companies source candidates from scratch for every new role. They post on job boards, pay for LinkedIn Recruiter seats, and engage agencies, even when dozens of qualified candidates already exist in their own database. The problem is not a lack of talent. It is a lack of access to the talent they have already evaluated.
Draft fixes this by treating every candidate interaction as a long-term investment. When someone applies and is not selected, they do not disappear into a dead inbox. They remain in your talent pool with a full profile, interview history, and searchable attributes. When a similar role opens months later, AI-powered search surfaces them instantly.
From passive database to active sourcing channel
A talent pool is only valuable if you can find the right person at the right time. Draft's natural language search lets you query your database the way you think: 'backend engineers with Go experience who interviewed in the last year' returns ranked results in seconds. No filters to configure, no boolean strings to construct.
Tags and custom fields add another layer of organization. Mark strong candidates as silver medalists, flag referred talent, or segment by skill set and seniority. When new requisitions land on your desk, your first stop is the talent pool, not a job board.
