Find the engineers worth hiring

GitFinder turns a plain-English job description into a ranked, contactable shortlist of GitHub engineers — so you spend your time on people, not search syntax.

Card required · 3 days free, then $49.00/month plus tax · Cancel any time

Not just a search box.
A complete sourcing workflow.

From the first job description to a curated list of people to reach out to — every step lives in one place.

01

Describe the role

Paste a job description in plain English. GitFinder reads it and derives a precise GitHub query plan — language, location, seniority, and activity.

02

Search the spine

GitHub is the structured source of truth. We search repositories and contributors, then enrich each profile with the signals that matter.

03

Ranked, with reasons

Claude scores every candidate against your role and explains why — so a shortlist is something you can trust, not just a list of names.

04

Curate and reach out

Save people to talent pools, track status as you go, and export a clean CSV. Your searches and lists persist across sessions.

How it works

Four steps from an open role to a list of engineers worth a conversation.

01

Paste a job description

No boolean syntax, no filters to learn. Write the role the way you'd describe it to a colleague.

02

Review the query plan

See exactly how the role was interpreted, and adjust the derived filters before the search runs.

03

Watch the shortlist build

Results stream in live as candidates are found, enriched, and ranked against the role.

04

Build a list and act

Add the best people to a talent pool, leave notes, set status, and export when you're ready.

Questions, answered

How is the shortlist ranked?

Every candidate is scored against your specific role on language depth, recent activity, and project relevance — and each score comes with a short explanation.

Where does the data come from?

GitHub is the structured spine: public repositories, contributors, and profile signals. Nothing is scraped from behind a login.

Where do the email addresses come from?

Public data only: the email field on a GitHub profile, the author email in public git commits, and public GPG key user IDs. If someone has turned on GitHub’s private-email setting, we reject that address outright and never work around it.

Who else sees my data?

Your searches and lists are private to your account and live in our own self-hosted database, not a third-party one. To do its job GitFinder shares data with a small set of processors — Anthropic (to read the role and rank candidates), Stripe (payments), and Amazon SES (email). The full list is in our Privacy Policy.

What does it cost?

Sign-up is free. To run searches you start a 3-day trial — a payment method is required, you get 5 searches a day, and it becomes $49.00 a month plus any applicable taxes unless you cancel first. After the trial it’s up to 10 searches a day. Cancel online any time in two clicks.
