Connecting high-growth fintechs with verified university talent in days
How Drafted's search engine helped Slash — a modern business banking platform — hire a verified candidate from UChicago within a single week.
About Slash
Slash is a modern business banking platform designed for high-growth companies, e-commerce brands, and agencies. Processing over $2 billion in corporate card spend for more than 5,000 business owners, Slash provides a comprehensive financial foundation including high-yield treasury accounts, corporate cards with world-class rewards, and seamless multi-entity management. Backed by top investors like NEA, Menlo Ventures, and Y Combinator, they are setting a higher standard in business finance.
The Challenge
As a rapidly scaling fintech company, Slash needed to move quickly to bring on high-caliber talent that aligned with their fast-paced, execution-oriented culture. Traditional hiring platforms were too slow, relying heavily on keyword matching that often missed the nuance of a candidate's true capabilities, drive, and cultural fit. They needed a way to cut through the noise and find verified, exceptional talent without spending months on the recruiting process.
How Drafted Delivered
Using Drafted's proprietary search engine, Slash was able to bypass the traditional resume stack. Our platform goes beyond keywords, taking into account all aspects of a candidate — from their verified institutional background to their communication skills showcased in video profiles. This holistic matching approach allowed Slash to instantly identify candidates whose expertise and drive perfectly aligned with their requirements.
