Not just a search box.
A complete sourcing workflow.

From the first job description to a curated list of people to reach out to — every step lives in one place.

01

Describe the role

Paste a job description in plain English. GitFinder reads it and derives a precise GitHub query plan — language, location, seniority, and activity.

02

Search the spine

GitHub is the structured source of truth. We search repositories and contributors, then enrich each profile with the signals that matter.

03

Ranked, with reasons

Claude scores every candidate against your role and explains why — so a shortlist is something you can trust, not just a list of names.

04

Curate and reach out

Save people to talent pools, track status as you go, and export a clean CSV. Your searches and lists persist across sessions.

How it works

Four steps from an open role to a list of engineers worth a conversation.

01

Paste a job description

No boolean syntax, no filters to learn. Write the role the way you'd describe it to a colleague.

02

Review the query plan

See exactly how the role was interpreted, and adjust the derived filters before the search runs.

03

Watch the shortlist build

Results stream in live as candidates are found, enriched, and ranked against the role.

04

Build a list and act

Add the best people to a talent pool, leave notes, set status, and export when you're ready.

Questions, answered

How is the shortlist ranked?

Every candidate is scored against your specific role on language depth, recent activity, and project relevance — and each score comes with a short explanation.

Where does the data come from?

GitHub is the structured spine: public repositories, contributors, and profile signals. Nothing is scraped from behind a login.

Is my data shared?

No. Your searches and lists are stored in your own database. Candidate snapshots are cached only to avoid re-fetching from GitHub.

Do I need an invite?

Yes — access is currently invite-only. If you have an invite code, you can create an account in under a minute.

Ready when you are.
