Last verified:

Skillsync is an AI recruiter that hires engineers based on what they've shipped. The best engineers are not on LinkedIn. They're on GitHub, busy shipping code. But GitHub is massive, chaotic, and nobody had made it searchable for hiring. Skillsync changes that. Companies search directly for capabilities and we surface engineers already building in their domain. Companies like Ramp, Bun, and Zed use Skillsync to hire for critical roles, with Bun seeing 5x improvement in conversion rates. We're starting with open source and expanding to research papers, private repos, and every surface where real work happens. We're building the LinkedIn for the AI era
