Find engineers who never apply by actual github code

The best engineers don't apply. They're invisible to every job board, ATS, and recruiter. We find them anyway. GradPipe parses GitHub at the AST level actual code, not self-reported skills and ranks 1,400+ builders by real technical depth. 15 engineers placed at YC-backed and hard-tech startups in 4 months. Founders get matched candidates before posting a job. No LeetCode. No resumes. No HR theater. Just signal.

I'm Pratham, co-founder of GradPipe.
Hot take: most tech hiring today rewards people who are good at interviews, not people who are good at building.
Great engineers are busy shipping. They're not grinding LeetCode or filling out job applications.
So we asked a simple question:
What if hiring started from actual code instead?
GradPipe analyzes GitHub repositories at the AST level to understand how someone really builds software — architecture, complexity, consistency, evolution of projects.
That becomes the Builder Score.
Startups then discover engineers through proof of work, not resumes.
It's early, but seeing engineers discovered through GradPipe land roles at YC-backed startups has been incredibly validating.
Would love your thoughts, especially if you're a builder who thinks hiring is broken.
