Why GitHub beats LinkedIn for engineering hires

LinkedIn

  • Self-reported skills — often outdated
  • Developers rarely update LinkedIn
  • InMail gets ignored by engineers
  • No signal of what they actually build
  • Job title says "Full Stack" — means nothing

GitHub via GitLeads

  • Real-time proof of what they actually build
  • Developers live on GitHub every day
  • Reach them via email with signal context
  • Exact stack visible from repo languages
  • 847 followers and 34 repos says everything

Three recruiting workflows with GitLeads

1

Stack-specific passive sourcing

Track stars on repos in your required tech stack. A developer who stars a Rust async runtime repo is almost certainly a senior Rust engineer. GitLeads surfaces them with their email, company, follower count, and public repo stats — no manual searching.

2

Keyword signals for intent

Monitor GitHub Issues and Discussions for keywords like "open to work", "looking for roles", "considering switching jobs". These developers are actively signaling intent — a rare find. Leads push to your ATS automatically when the keyword fires.

3

Auto-push to your recruiting stack

GitLeads pushes matched profiles directly to Greenhouse, Lever, or any ATS via webhook or Zapier integration. Each profile includes the exact GitHub signal that triggered it, so your outreach can reference what you saw and stand out in the inbox.
