For Tech Recruiters

Intros that close. Not leads that ghost.

Stop chasing inboxes. Tap into the professional network where developers are actively learning your stack and have explicitly opted in to talk.

"I finally spend my time talking to people who actually want the job."

New Channel

Reach developers where they actually live.

You're used to finding candidates in databases where they haven't logged in for months. daily.dev is different. It's the homepage for millions of active developers.

This is a new acquisition channel. Instead of fighting for attention in a crowded LinkedIn inbox, you get access to a community where developers come every day to learn and grow.

How it works

How you hire on daily.dev

A new channel for sourcing active developers.

01
REACT
NODE

Define your ideal profile

Don't just list keywords. Define the skills, interests, and activity that indicates a good fit for your team.

02

Tap into the network

Our engine identifies developers in the network who are actively learning and engaging with the technologies you need.

03
Interested

Get double opt-in intros

Relevant developers see your role and choose to engage. You only talk to candidates who want to talk to you.

04

Hire with context

Start conversations with shared context on what they're building and learning, not just what's on their resume.

The Shift

A better model for hiring

Traditional Outbound

Chasing Noise

  • Competing in saturated inboxes
  • Keyword-based guessing
  • Low response rates
  • Transactional & low trust

Attracting Talent

  • Exclusive access to a community
  • Behavior-based matching
  • High engagement
  • Relationship-focused
Outcomes

The impact of intent

When you start with behavior and consent, the metrics follow.

Key Outcome
3x
Response Rate
vs. cold outbound

Candidates who opt in are ready to engage. No more chasing ghosts.

Faster
Time to First Intro

Active matching means you don't wait weeks for a pipeline.

High
Intent

Double opt-in ensures every conversation is with a willing candidate.

The Difference

Intent is earned, not scraped.

Traditional tools scrape profiles that are often years out of date. They tell you what a developer did, not what they are doing.

We see what millions of developers read, save, and discuss every day. This creates a live behavioral map of their interests, allowing you to reach candidates who are genuinely active in your stack right now.

The Reality

Why hiring feels broken

Poor matches waste your credibility

You spend hours sourcing profiles that look perfect, only to find out on the first call they haven't touched that stack in years. Effort and outcomes feel disconnected.

Great developers have abandoned traditional channels

The best engineers aren't refreshing LinkedIn. They've tuned out the noise. You're forced to play a numbers game in channels where trust is already broken.

Inbound creates volume, not clarity

Posting a role floods you with noise. You spend your week triaging unqualified applications instead of building relationships with the few who actually fit.

You don't need more messages. You need better intros.

The bottleneck isn't message volume. It's knowing who to talk to. We solve the intent problem first.

No. Job boards are databases of active job seekers. daily.dev is a developer hiring platform where developers come to learn and grow every day. Unlike other recruiting tools, it's a new channel that gives you access to passive talent who aren't looking at job boards.
