Access passive talent who only respond on daily.dev. Post your role, get matched, and meet engineers who actually want to talk. Developers already use daily.dev every day to learn and grow. We’re now opening our network for hiring.
As someone who’s spent years designing developer products, this launch was less about “adding recruiting” and more about removing everything broken in how hiring feels today.
Most recruiting tools are designed for volume. More profiles, more messages, more dashboards. We designed daily.dev Recruiter around the opposite constraint: trust.
From a UX perspective, the hardest part wasn’t matching algorithms. It was designing a system where developers never feel hunted, spammed, or tricked into conversations they didn’t ask for.
Double opt-in. High context. No cold access. If it doesn’t feel respectful, we don’t ship it.
Curious to hear how this resonates with folks who’ve felt the pain on either side of hiring.
Recruiting in tech often feels broken, so we're opening up our network to make those connections more authentic. Would love to hear what you all think about the video and the product. Do you think this changes the 'passive candidate' game?

Your Product page and website looks great and all of your messaging seems very well thought out.
How long has it taken you to craft your messaging and did you do a lot of AB testing to ultimately arrive at the conclusions you did?
@jake_friedberg thanks for the compliments! We do care A LOT about messaging. We don’t get to the stage where a/b tests are the most efficient way to optimize. At the moment we’re focused on having meaningful conversations with recruiters and adapt based on what we hear. The developer side is our bread and butter for years already.

@nimrodkramer thank you and very cool - I'm going to refer this platform to some of my developer friends.

Congrats on the launch! Do you match the best potential roles to developers? If not, how do you make sure this doesn't become another place for recruiters to spam?
@sasha_medvedovsky recruiters aren’t allowed to contact candidates directly. We built an agent that serves as a trusted talent broker between recruiters and candidates. Only when both sides say yes it makes a warm introduction.
Some people told us it’s like a tinder for developers… we prefer to call it Tindev 😜

I really want this to turn out well. I have been a long-time daily dev reader; it has been part of my daily source of dev information anytime I open my PC, so it would also be cool to see job opportunities here as well

@judevector Thanks for being a avid user! Hope we can match you soon so you can see it in action 💜

congrats on the launch! Does the app only attracts SWE? what about other jobs/tasks like tutor/design etc.? Will you cover other areas later?
A daily.dev Recruiter is a breath of fresh air in the recruiter world. No more spam, no more optimizing for quantity. Ask us anything on your mind

@nimrodkramer Double opt-in intros from “real behavior” is a strong wedge; at scale the hard part is turning 1B+ sessions into trustworthy intent signals without gaming + while keeping developer trust/privacy airtight.
Best-practice: event-stream (Kafka/PubSub) → feature store, real-time aggregates in ClickHouse, plus an explicit consent/audit ledger + per-company rate limits so “warm” stays warm.
Q: how are you modeling/validating “intent” (rules vs embeddings/ML), and do developers get transparent controls to view/revoke what signals drive matches?
@ryan_thill yes we are deeply focused on giving developers as many controls as possible to explicitly indicate what makes sense for them (and what’s not). Additionally, and unlike any other recruiting platforms, developers can tune out if they don’t want to receive opportunities.

Been a huge fan of @daily.dev and @nimrodkramer for years and was one of their first subscribers! I have no doubt this will be just as awesome! Keep up the good work!
