The problem it solves

Reviewing GitHub profiles one by one to check a candidate's repositories, activity, and background takes forever, especially when you're screening a long list of developers. You end up with scattered notes instead of a clear comparison.

Who it fits

Technical recruiters and talent teams who need to evaluate a list of developer candidates quickly.

How it works

  1. You provide a list of GitHub profile URLs in Google Sheets
  2. The system visits each profile and scrapes their info, repositories, and social links
  3. A Slack message announces when each candidate's scraping starts
  4. The data is cleaned up and organized into a dedicated report for each person
  5. A new Google Sheets tab is created with their profile, links, and repositories
What you get

Candidate profiles researched before you reach out

You get a detailed report on each candidate's GitHub activity, repositories, and links organized into a spreadsheet automatically.

What you get

A structured, per-candidate report in Google Sheets covering profile data, links, and repositories.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Slack workspace, and a BrowserAct account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
