What’s the overall summary?
Findem is built for recruiters who love data - connecting insights from public sources, enriching profiles, and helping you build targeted outreach lists. It’s a smarter way to search, but it’s still search. Developers don’t use Findem. They don’t see it. They don’t engage with it. So every conversation still starts cold.
daily.dev Recruiter is built where developers already are — inside their daily.dev feed. Instead of scraping, we surface your opportunity to the right developers based on what they’re actively learning, following, or contributing to. Every introduction is double opt-in, meaning both sides choose to connect. That’s not another outbound tool; that’s a trusted channel.
So what does daily.dev Recruiter do differently?
Findem layers AI on top of existing data. daily.dev Recruiter starts with real human behavior.
We don’t rely on signals inferred from the web — we use engagement happening right now. Developers who read about your stack, explore your domain, or show interest in related technologies are surfaced as potential matches.
Instead of exporting names into an email sequence, you get pre-screened, context-rich introductions directly in Slack. It’s faster, cleaner, and infinitely more human.
When Findem might still make sense
If you’re hiring across many non-technical roles, need deep data analytics, or want to enrich an internal talent database, Findem is a strong fit. It’s built for sourcing teams who live in spreadsheets and Boolean strings.
But if you’re hiring developers — especially the ones who ignore recruiter emails — daily.dev Recruiter is where those conversations actually begin.
How it feels for developers
Findem is invisible to developers — until the outreach lands in their inbox.
daily.dev is part of their everyday workflow. Developers discover opportunities in a space they already trust, on their terms, with full transparency. No scraping. No spam. Just genuine, relevant introductions.
TL;DR
Findem predicts interest.
daily.dev Recruiter captures it from developers who are active, engaged, and ready to talk.
