Find engineering candidates from GitHub activity. Monitor repos relevant to AI, finance, and our tech stack — then use AI to qualify candidates automatically.
- A cron job monitors public activity on curated GitHub repositories
- When someone creates PRs, issues, or meaningful contributions, they're captured
- An AI agent researches the person and scores them against our open engineering roles
- Qualified candidates appear in your dashboard with periodic digest emails
