GitHub has long been a treasure trove for uncovering developers’ coding skills and problem-solving abilities. The process of identifying the perfect candidate on GitHub, however, can be quite time-consuming. Navigating through the vast talent pool requires delving deeply into individual profiles and code repositories. Even after pinpointing a promising candidate, reaching out to them can be an overwhelming task, as many developers are often inactive or do not share their professional details on GitHub.

The Prog.AI platform is designed to streamline this intricate GitHub recruitment process—turning the previously cumbersome search into a seamless experience.

It analyzes all programming code on GitHub, covering millions of repositories to automatically assess developers’ skills based on their actual code contributions. It then combines the collected data with information from LinkedIn, Stack Overflow and Kaggle to create all-inclusive profiles for about 60 million software engineers worldwide. This integration provides recruiters with a 360-degree view of a candidate’s troubleshooting expertise, open-source contributions and accomplishments to the tech community.

“Our software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform empowers recruiters at every step of their way to find the best talent out there,” says Maria Grineva, co-founder and CEO.

While networking platforms like LinkedIn are valuable for professional connections, they often fall short due to their inability to integrate detailed coding portfolios and real-time activity data. Prog.AI addresses this gap with its standout feature of revealing contact information and LinkedIn profiles directly on GitHub, making it easier than ever to connect with potential candidates.

For recruiters who prefer the familiarity of LinkedIn, Prog.AI offers a convenient Chrome extension. Recognizing that some recruiters already use GitHub to find talent, this extension enhances their efforts by providing essential details right where they are needed.

This two-in-one solution eliminates the need for a manual search process, unlocking a wealth of additional details and streamlining the recruitment process.

The platform’s instant email capture feature lets recruiters collect candidates’ emails directly from their profiles, ensuring quick and easy contact. The platform goes further by updating each profile monthly to build lists of suitable candidates and automate outreach efforts. It even simplifies data management by organizing contact details into manageable files, significantly enabling recruiters to improve tracking and follow-up efficiency.

The impact of Prog.AI’s capabilities is illustrated in its partnership with Bardeen, a tech startup based in Silicon Valley with Series A funding. Bardeen was developing a browser extension to simplify the management and organization of repetitive tasks across apps but faced a significant challenge—finding software engineers with expertise in complex programming for web browsers, particularly those proficient in TypeScript and React. They needed to quickly identify the perfect candidates to ensure seamless integration of new talent into their team. Prog.AI used its deep analytical capabilities and advanced algorithms to harness data from global platforms, generating a list of 1,000 suitable candidates who met the job description in seconds. This powerful tool streamlined Bardeen’s hiring process, enabling them to launch a personalized email outreach campaign and conduct 40 interviews. Eventually, Bardeen found the ideal candidate for the job, showcasing the efficiency and effectiveness of Prog.AI’s solution.
