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.
Hey PH, Nimrod here, CEO of daily.dev.
We built daily.dev for developers to learn and grow. Over time, something became obvious: hiring didn’t stop working because recruiters or developers changed. It stopped working because the channels broke.
Finding developers isn’t the bottleneck anymore. Getting a reply is.
Developers are overwhelmed by cold outreach, while recruiters are stuck guessing who might respond. Both sides want better conversations, but the current system optimizes for volume instead of intent.
Today we’re excited to open daily.dev as a new hiring channel!
Companies can now connect with engineers who already spend time on daily.dev, before they hit the job market, through warm, double opt-in introductions. No cold DMs. No scraped profiles. Just conversations that both sides chose to have.
If you’re hiring engineers, we’d love your feedback.
If you’re a developer, your experience and trust come first.
Happy to answer questions and hear what you think :)
And where are your developers located? Is it only Israel, or are there other countries too? We mostly hire in Eastern and Central Europe, that’s what my question was about.
Does the platform provide users with match data feedback (e.g., “Your profile has been viewed by 10 teams”) to help them optimize their personal tech profile? Can recruiters view anonymized data on candidate interests?
Do users have full control over which companies or roles can view their profile? Is it possible to enable an “incognito mode” or block the current employer?
Congrats on the launch! As someone building digital products in Malaysia, I'm
curious about the pricing structure. Is there a self-serve tier for smaller
teams or early-stage startups, or is this primarily enterprise-focused?
daily.dev is a clean, developer‑focused homepage that turns every new tab into a curated feed of high‑quality tech articles, tutorials, and industry news. It is free, open source, and backed by an active developer community that makes staying up to date fast and enjoyable.
Great product—congratulations. One small suggestion: it may be helpful to add a clear link for first-time developers who are new to daily.dev to easily discover and join the network. I explored the site but couldn’t find a clear entry point to do so.
That’s why I appreciate daily.dev. It actually feels like a place built for developers, not a content farm. The signal‑to‑noise ratio is high, the community is genuine, and the focus stays on learning and building rather than chasing engagement.
I’m curious how daily.dev plans to keep the platform clean as it grows. What’s the long‑term strategy to prevent the same spam, low‑effort content, and recruiter noise that overwhelmed LinkedIn?
Daily Dev Recruiter is incredibly unobtrusive and intuitive, speaking from a developer standpoint. As a member of the daily dev community, I visit the site every day as it's my homepage and my "new tab" page on my browser. When I first saw a job recommended to me, it matched my interests, level, and skill sets. My reason for not applying at that moment was due to having recently starting a new project. However, I was impressed with the accuracy and how vetted the recommendation was both from the recruiting side and the candidate side. It'll be my go-to in the future.
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?
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!
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
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?
@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?
Smart move turning an existing developer community into a hiring channel. Feels way more natural than traditional job boards.
Congrats on this 6th launch!!!
Recruiter is brilliant! Usual channels (LinkedIn, generic job boards) are so noisy and full of uninterested applicants, being able to tap into a community of active, passionate devs who are already engaged every day feels like a much smarter way to find great fits ahah
How does the matching work on the recruiter side? Is it skill-based, activity-based, or a mix? And do devs opt-in explicitly for recruitment outreach?
You’re betting that the real bottleneck is replies, not sourcing. What were the strongest pieces of evidence (data or interviews) that “reply rate” was the core problem worth solving, and what specific metric made you confident a new channel could move it?
This is a great initiative. Just came across after seeing the launch.
Keeping it genuine for developers will make it a great community and authentic recruitment place
