Hire engineers based on what they’ve shipped
Skillsync is an AI recruiter that hires engineers based on what they've shipped. The best engineers are not on LinkedIn. They're on GitHub, busy shipping code. But GitHub is massive, chaotic, and nobody had made it searchable for hiring. Skillsync changes that. Companies search directly for capabilities and we surface engineers already building in their domain. Companies like Ramp, Bun, and Zed use Skillsync to hire for critical roles, with Bun seeing 5x improvement in conversion rates. We're starting with open source and expanding to research papers, private repos, and every surface where real work happens. We're building the LinkedIn for the AI era
Skillsync is a hiring platform that finds engineers by analyzing their actual code contributions on GitHub, turning them into searchable skill profiles. It emphasizes selecting candidates based on what they’ve shipped rather than self-reported claims. The product supports targeted search, filtering, and personalized outreach.
Users describe the role by capability, and Skillsync identifies engineers already building in that domain. Profiles are built from real code, with filters for seniority, location, and repositories. The platform offers personalized outreach, including tailored emails referencing specific contributions, and provides credit-based access to deeper skill breakdowns and project history. Pricing includes Starter, Pro, and Enterprise tiers with features like unlimited searches, AI-assisted outreach, ATS integrations, and internal-repo deployment options.
Who it’s for: Talent teams, agencies, founders, and larger organizations seeking to hire engineers and scientists by demonstrated technical contributions and domain-specific expertise.

Co-founder & CEO of Skillsync. I helped take an open-source Rust project from zero to 30k+ GitHub stars and saw firsthand how many world-class engineers are hiding in the long tail of open source. With a background in engineering, product, and organizational psychology, I’m building Skillsync to map real technical talent from actual work like code and research, not resumes
Co-Founder CTO @ SkillSync Inc. | Top 1% Rust dev. Went from building type-safe payment infra to people search. Now fixing how companies find engineers like me.
