GitHub Sourcing, Made easy for you

Find engineers by<br>what they actually build.

Find matching developers &rarr;

GitHub candidates, without the complexity. Go from a job description to a tech profile worth contacting in under 90 seconds.

StarHunt searches GitHub repositories, not resumes. Surface the people who contribute to the exact open-source projects your stack is built on.

The approach

Why StarHunt finds the people<br>that other tools miss

Most sourcing tools search profiles. StarHunt starts from repositories.

Repository discovery

For each technology, StarHunt maintains a curated list of reference repositories, the projects that define the ecosystem. Node.js? That includes fastify, nestjs, express, prisma, and 40+ others.

Contributor extraction

StarHunt fetches the contributors of each reference repo, the people actually writing code in the ecosystem, not just claiming to on a resume.

Location filtering

Each contributor's profile is cross-checked against location, bio, and company fields. "Paris", "France", "FR" and many other variants are matched automatically, and smaller towns are mapped to their nearest hub, so a developer in Massy still shows up for Paris.

Job description to candidates

Paste a full job description or just describe who you're looking for in a sentence. StarHunt reads it and turns it into a targeted search across the right technologies, role and location, automatically.

Relevant results + easy export

Results are ranked by how well they match your search and streamed in real time. Export to CSV in one click or save profiles to My Candidates, with name, location, email, GitHub URL and tech badges included.

Everything you need to find the right tech profiles on GitHub

🔍

From job description to candidates

Paste a job description, upload it as a PDF, or describe your ideal hire in plain language. StarHunt reads it and builds the search for you, the right technologies, role and location, then surfaces the people who match, so you go from a brief to a shortlist in seconds.

📍

Advanced location filtering

France, Paris, Lyon, Berlin, Remote - select preset chips or type any city. The filter cross-checks location, bio, and company fields so nothing slips through.

🛠

Start from real repositories, not search keywords

Instead of searching all of GitHub, StarHunt starts from a curated set of hand-picked repositories, one list per technology. It then discovers and ranks the people who actually contribute to them, and everyone their own public work connects to. That's why results are more relevant than a standard GitHub search.
