GitHired

Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

GitHired launched on December 24, 2025 with 360 votes, #51 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

In plain words

GitHired is a hiring tool that evaluates engineering candidates based on their actual GitHub work rather than resume keywords. It creates automated ranking forms that analyze candidates' real tech stack usage, project complexity, and contribution history while filtering out fraudulent commits. The platform generates one-page profiles for each applicant, helping hiring teams identify capable developers more quickly and accurately than traditional screening methods.

From the sources

GitHired lets you create autonomous hiring forms that instantly rank your applicants based on what they've actually built, not what they say they can build. Each candidate gets a one page profile showing their real tech stack usage, project depth and complexity, and contribution activity (while also filtering out fake GitHub commits). Hiring becomes 10x faster and far more accurate. Stop guessing who can code. Start seeing who does.

Create autonomous hiring forms that instantly rank your applicants and show you what they've actually built, not what they say they can build.

Turn your job description into an autonomous recruiting engine that finds, ranks, and books meetings with cracked developers. Our model understands your stack and product needs, sources engineers who've built similar systems, and builds your interview pipeline. We analyze what developers have actually built, not what they say they've built. Scored on code complexity, project depth, and shipping capabilities. 10k+ applicants have given us secure access to their private projects for max accuracy.

    I built a tool to find devs based on code, not LinkedIn titles2025 · gitmatcher.com · ▲86

    Hey HN After years working in software engineering and helping with hiring, I noticed a frustrating pattern: Companies often rely on résumés and LinkedIn titles to find developers instead of looking at what they've actually built. So I built GitMatcher. It analyzes GitHub profiles to surface developers based on: Their public repos Commit history Originality and usefulness of code Patterns that show consistency and real skill No keywords. No job titles. Just code. GitMatcher is useful if you're: - A recruiter tired of resume roulette - A founder looking for a technical co-founder - An OSS…

    Since everyone seems to be making a github application, I thought I'd share mine. It's an aggregated view of all of a given person's github projects, as well as easyish lookups for linkedin/stackoverflow/hackernews. It attempts to determine both productivity (how much code did this person write?) as well as impact (did anyone care?) I'd love any feedback, but go easy on the number of simultaneous searches as I'm trying to play nice by github's api limits. check it -- http://www.gitalytics.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
