StarHunt is a GitHub sourcing tool that helps recruiters find engineers by their actual contributions to open-source projects, not just resume keywords. It transforms job descriptions into targeted searches across curated repositories, delivering relevant candidates in seconds.
Key benefits include:
- From Job Description to Candidates: Paste a job description, PDF, or plain language description, and StarHunt automatically builds the search across technologies, role, and location, surfacing relevant candidates in seconds.
- Advanced Location Filtering: Cross-checks location, bio, and company fields to ensure precise matches, even for smaller towns mapped to nearest hubs (e.g., Massy to Paris).
- Repository-Based Sourcing: Starts from curated reference repositories (e.g., fastify, nestjs for Node.js) instead of generic GitHub searches, delivering more relevant candidates.
- No Setup Required: Connects directly with GitHub with no API keys or configuration needed, with built-in rate limiting for quota protection.
- Easy Export & Candidate Management: Results are ranked by relevance, with one-click CSV exports and saved profiles in My Candidates, including name, location, email, GitHub URL, and tech badges.
Perfect for technical recruiters and hiring teams looking to find qualified engineers efficiently, without the complexity of manual GitHub searches.
