Hey PH, Nimrod here, CEO of daily.dev. We built daily.dev for developers to learn and grow. Over time, something became obvious: hiring didn’t stop working because recruiters or developers changed. It stopped working because the channels broke. Finding developers isn’t the bottleneck anymore. Getting a reply is. Developers are overwhelmed by cold outreach, while recruiters are stuck guessing who might respond. Both sides want better conversations, but the current system optimizes for volume instead of intent. Today we’re excited to open daily.dev as a new hiring channel! Companies can now connect with engineers who already spend time on daily.dev, before they hit the job market, through warm, double opt-in introductions. No cold DMs. No scraped profiles. Just conversations that both sides chose to have. If you’re hiring engineers, we’d love your feedback. If you’re a developer, your experience and trust come first. Happy to answer questions and hear what you think :)

@nimrodkramer  No cold dms promise is huge. How do you handle recruiter quality? e.g. if a company sends generic invites to 50 devs, does the system flag them to keep the "warm" vibe?

@mohsinproduct recruiters don't have direct access to candidates. our ai agent is doing the reach outs. this is how we keep the matching quality high, prevent spamming, and maintain trust with everyone. we're a trusted middleman for both parties

@malekmoumtaz we put trust and the core value of the system. So it starts with privately showing opportunities to developers and only once they say yes we show them to recruiters to decide too. Double opt in as a core part of the way it works. There are no cold DMs and unlike other places if developers don’t want to see opportunities they can choose to do so. Other platforms try to brute force hiring with more volume and more outreach. We try to play a game of trust, transparency and real personalization. We believe it can make a difference.

@nimrodkramer Congratulations on the launch. I really love the website, particularly the Chrome extension that shows the community on the home page in Chrome.

💡 Bright idea

daily.dev sits on my new tab. Good for the morning scroll. Hiring on top makes sense. Just don’t let it turn into LinkedIn vibes. Keep it opt-in and quiet and I’m game. Open source is a nice touch. I’ll try it with a niche role and see how it goes.

@alexcloudstar 100%! The only thing we have is the trust with developers who use daily.dev. We will never do anything to compromise that, which is why we built the entire process around trust, transparency, and respect.

I've been trusting daily.dev with being my #1 aggregator of dev news, and rather trust them instead of LinkedIn or other platforms with finding interesting work. Since MoBerries is gone, there hasn't been a single recruiting platform that gives me as a developer the feeling of being valued. Thank you daily.dev.

@coppnic thanks a lot, and yes, times are changing. Having a developer-first hiring platform is just something the community needs at this point.

Chris Bongers

@coppnic And we actually take feedback into account! From both sides.
In my personal opinion it's one of the strongest points for recruiter business.

You’re betting that the real bottleneck is replies, not sourcing. What were the strongest pieces of evidence (data or interviews) that “reply rate” was the core problem worth solving, and what specific metric made you confident a new channel could move it?

@curiouskitty we did a massive survey among developers which clearly shows that trust is broken now. we share all this data publicly: https://recruiter.daily.dev/state-of-trust/. Happy to answer any follow up questions

Congrats on this 6th launch!!!

Recruiter is brilliant! Usual channels (LinkedIn, generic job boards) are so noisy and full of uninterested applicants, being able to tap into a community of active, passionate devs who are already engaged every day feels like a much smarter way to find great fits ahah

How does the matching work on the recruiter side? Is it skill-based, activity-based, or a mix? And do devs opt-in explicitly for recruitment outreach?

Ido Shamun

@cathcorm the matching is based on CV / work experience when provided as well as activity based. developers can provide their job preferences that we always respect (e.g. tech stack, min salary, location) and they can always opt out. since our AI agent act as middleman and recruiters have no direct access, it prevents spam and we control the pace of reach outs per developer. Maintaining the trust we have with our community is always top priority

Catherine Cormier

@idoshamun i love that your community is your #1 top priority! thank you so much for your answer :)

In daily.dev our focus was always creating the best space for developers, with recruiter, this has not changed, it expands the things developers can do and accomplish without ever leaving daily.dev, the place they feel most comfortable.

Bootstrapping and building daily.dev Recruiter was a great ride with many technical but also product challenges and don't make me start talking about creating support to parse any JD in existence 😂🤞

We are just starting but looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks!

This is a great initiative. Just came across after seeing the launch.

Keeping it genuine for developers will make it a great community and authentic recruitment place

Smart move turning an existing developer community into a hiring channel. Feels way more natural than traditional job boards.

@abod_rehman we hope so!

That’s why I appreciate daily.dev. It actually feels like a place built for developers, not a content farm. The signal‑to‑noise ratio is high, the community is genuine, and the focus stays on learning and building rather than chasing engagement.

I’m curious how daily.dev plans to keep the platform clean as it grows. What’s the long‑term strategy to prevent the same spam, low‑effort content, and recruiter noise that overwhelmed LinkedIn?

Nimrod Kramer

@xwang09 we don't let recruiters send DMs like LinkedIn does. The candidate experience is all about preserving the deep trust we've built with our community. So when a developer gets matched with a job opp they can review it privately. Only once they said "yes", we send their details to the recruiter on the other side. That way, the platform serves as a trusted talent broker between employers and candidates.
