Show HN: Open-source tool to find dev leads and write job descriptions from code

a year ago

I’ve hired for startups and enterprises, and writing job descriptions and sifting through resumes was always a grind.

I realized we could reach out to the people who’ve already contributed to the tools we use. A warm intro like, “We’re using [XX library] at [Startup]—are you open to new opportunities?” felt so much better than cold outreach.

So, I built Repotalent. It generates job descriptions from your codebase (package.json, pyproject.toml, etc.) and finds leads by identifying contributors to the open-source tools you rely on.
