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!
Proof-of-work over keywords is the right axis for hiring — the resume-keyword game has been gamed for so long that any signal upstream of "things they actually built" is mostly noise. The same dynamic shows up in finance/FP&A hiring: "Excel expert" on a resume tells you nothing, but a working three-statement model with proper switches and an LBO toggle that doesn't break tells you everything. We hit this exact gap teaching financial modeling on Udemy (https://www.udemy.com/course/excel-for-financial-modelling/) — the people who finish the course aren't the ones who knew formulas going in, they're the ones who could rebuild a broken model from scratch. Curious how GitHired weights project depth vs. breadth when an engineer has 30 small repos vs. 3 substantial ones — the tail matters but it's hard to score.
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?
We've experienced this - CVs are a terrible way to screen engineers. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves
It requires "This application will be able to read and write all public and private repository data." Why do you need write access too?
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?
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 😏
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?
If a team already uses LinkedIn Recruiter/SeekOut/hireEZ for sourcing and HackerRank/Codility/CodeSignal for evaluation, where does GitHired replace vs complement—and what’s the end-to-end workflow you see working best for a founder or in-house recruiter?
yeah, I really love this software. It's actually helping us meet with applied AI engineers that are really talented, so thanks bro.

Who hunted GitHired?
GitHired was hunted by Mat Sherman. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
