How Subgraph works

1

We build your sourcing strategy.

Our recruiter works with you to identify the right companies, backgrounds, and profiles to target—then we go to work.

2

Candidates show up in your Slack.

We source, evaluate, and reach out to your target candidate market. Interested candidates are delivered to your Slack (or email, Greenhouse, or Ashby—wherever you work).

3

Click Approve. They’re on your calendar.

We handle outreach, follow-ups, and scheduling. You just decide who you want to talk to.

Everything you'd want from a great recruiter.
None of the overhead.

No pressure to hire.

Pause or cancel anytime. No long-term contracts, no weekly check-in calls.

Just Slack. No new tools.

Candidates arrive in your channel. No dashboards to learn, no sequences to manage.

A consistent flow, not a one-time slate.

New candidates every week, matched on skills, level, and company background.

We reach passive candidates.

The best engineers already have jobs. We find them and bring the interested ones to you.

Built by people who've been on both sides.

I built Subgraph because I was the customer—an engineering leader drowning in recruiting tools that still required me to do the recruiting.

Common questions

We deliver candidates continuously to your Slack, starting in days—not a slate after 3 weeks. No weekly calls, no pressure to close. And at $15K, our placement fee is less than half what agencies charge.

The retainer keeps dedicated sourcing running on your role. Every dollar credits toward the $15K placement fee.

Agencies charge $30–50K per hire on contingent. Our total placement fee is $15K with monthly credits applied. If we place someone in month three, your total cost is $15K—not $40K.

We set up your role and start sending candidates immediately. After 14 days, if you're happy with the quality, you pay for the first month and billing continues monthly. If not, you owe nothing.

Pause or cancel anytime. No long-term contracts, no pressure to close.

We specialize in software engineers, engineering managers, product managers, and other technical and leadership roles. We can fill many types of roles, though technical hiring is our core strength.

Most roles see candidates within a few days.

We deliver candidates wherever your hiring workflow lives—Slack, email, Greenhouse, or Ashby. You approve candidates from the same place, and we handle scheduling from there.
