AshbyWhat our customers say
Subgraph has been a game changer for us. We’ve been able to consistently have high quality candidates in our pipeline with minimal time investment, at a fraction of the normal cost. It’s allowed us to remain focused on building our product without slowing down on hiring.
Working with Subgraph has accelerated our ability to fill high-urgency technical roles. Their team understands both deep hardware and software domains, and more importantly, the nuances of the specific skill sets we actually need.
Subgraph truly operates as an extension of our team rather than just an external agency. Their communication is consistently transparent and responsive, and they quickly grasped the exact profile we were looking for. It has been a seamless and highly productive partnership.

I've spent 15+ years filling technical roles at Google, Sequoia, Uber, and Apple. I'm the recruiter working on your role—not a junior associate.

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 $45K.
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.
