GitHired - Find 100x engineers by proof of work, not resume keywords
by•
Find 100x engineers on autopilot: Describe what you're building/looking for, and instantly get a ranked list of the most cracked engineers who meet your requirements.
Search from our pool of 10k+ profiles that have been evaluated based on actual code complexity, project depth, and relevant experience- including access to private repos for maximum accuracy.
And if that pool falls short, use our inbuilt GitHub + LinkedIn scraper to source cracked open source devs.

Hey everyone 👋
I’m Raghav, the Founder of GitHired.
Hiring devs is broken- you can’t tell if someone is a 100x engineer just by looking at a resume.
Some candidates look perfect on paper but can’t ship real features.
Others who can build get filtered out because of a missing keyword.
So we built something better. We analyze what a developer has actually built, not what they say they can build.
We break down their real tech stack, project depth and complexity, commit authenticity (no more fake green charts). Just describe what you're looking for, and get a ranked list of the most cracked devs with the skills relevant for the role.
Stop guessing who can code. Start seeing who does.
We’re early, shipping fast, and would love your feedback. Tear it apart, ask questions, or tell us what would make this a no-brainer for your team. The first search is free!

This is hiring by seeing the code not hearing it. Great launch guys....

@thamibenjelloun thank you!

@curiouskitty Hackerrank/CodeSignal don't evaluate if a person can actually build things and take products from 0->1. Leetcode doesn't help startups in correctly evaluating candidates- its more optimized for BigTech because they can afford to train their employees, but startups want people who have already built stuff, and the best way to know that is if they've previously built stuff, which is what we do

There is a tension tho. If your a 100x engineer you basically dont want to work for anyone. You have rather have 10x engineers working for you 😏
Loved the idea and execution Raghav.
At the last you mentioned. You have access to private repos as well. Curious, how are you having that?
GitHired
@abhinav_anand21 its optional if you want us to get access to it- because not everybody is an open source dev:)
yeah, I really love this software. It's actually helping us meet with applied AI engineers that are really talented, so thanks bro.

@kane_collier glad to hear that!
It requires "This application will be able to read and write all public and private repository data." Why do you need write access too?
GitHired
@m_tolga_cangoz there's no way to get only read access in GitHub OAuth apps- its the standard default from GitHub
@raghavb11 Have you considered migrating to a GitHub App instead of an OAuth App? AFAIK, it lets you request fine-grained read-only permissions. The current way creates a massive security risk. No reasonable person gives all the permissions to someone else.
GitHired
@m_tolga_cangoz installing a GitHub app is way too much friction. Signing in with GitHub is easy, and pretty standard- vercel, netlify- they all do it. And its optional for us, meaning you don’t have to give access to private if your public profile is good enough
@raghavb11 AFAIK, actually, Vercel completely separates OAuth login from repository access.
I understand prioritizing low friction for an MVP, but asking for write access to all repos via legacy OAuth is a tough sell. I'll stick to scanning my public profile. Good luck with the launch!

Being able to upload your own list of candidates and run them through the scoring is a really nice addition, if one candidate has older projects and another has newer ones but both score the same, does how recent their work is, change who ranks higher?
We've experienced this - CVs are a terrible way to screen engineers. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves
This is how it should work honestly a GitHub profile tells you more than any resume. Does it factor in commit quality and consistency or mostly just activity volume?
GitHired
@imad_elkhafi quality too!
@raghavb11 Love to hear that quality over quantity is the only signal that actually matters.
