What they do

Problem

Companies struggle to find and hire the best engineers because traditional recruiting platforms miss candidates who are actively shipping code on GitHub and other work surfaces.

Solution

Skillsync is an AI recruiting search platform that indexes engineers’ shipped work (starting with open-source GitHub) to match candidates to roles based on demonstrated capabilities.

Who it's for

Companies hiring software engineers, especially high-growth startups and tech teams recruiting for critical engineering roles.

Founders

Narayana Aaditya Ganeshkumar

Founder

Co-founder & CEO of Skillsync. I helped take an open-source Rust project from zero to 30k+ GitHub stars and saw firsthand how many world-class engineers are hiding in the long tail of open source. My background is at the intersection of engineering, product, and organizational psychology. Software is a team sport and I'm building Skillsync to bring the best out of engineering teams!
