Find the engineer who's already built it.

Need someone who's scaled a checkout system? Shipped a real-time editor? We search 30M+ GitHub events to find engineers who've already built what you're hiring for.

Get started

You're hiring for experience. Resumes don't prove it. Code does.

You need someone who's built a payment system, not someone who says they have. Job boards give you self-reported skills and keyword-stuffed resumes. The engineer who actually scaled that checkout flow? They're heads-down shipping code, not updating their LinkedIn.

Existing sourcing tools charge $500/month and still match on job titles, not what people have actually built. The engineer at a no-name company who's been merging PRs into your favorite framework for the past year? They never show up.

You shouldn't need a $6,000/year tool to find them.

Why Riem.ai

Match on what they've built, not what they claim

We analyze 30M+ GitHub events per month. Commits, PRs, code reviews. If someone's built a distributed cache or shipped a mobile auth flow, we can find them.

Find the engineers your competitors can't

Our "Underrated" scoring cross-references contribution quality against social visibility. High-quality work + low follower count = the candidates nobody else is reaching out to.

Describe the experience, not the keywords

Type "engineers who've built real-time websocket systems" instead of fiddling with boolean strings. The AI figures out which repos and commit patterns match what you actually need.

5-10x cheaper than alternatives

Starter plan is $25/month. A recruiter doing 30 searches and 10 enrichments pays $75/month total. SkillSync charges $499 for the same thing.

How it works

1

Describe what they should have built

Type what you're looking for: "engineers who've built payment processing at scale" or "someone who's shipped a real-time collaborative editor." The AI asks follow-ups if your query is too broad.

2

Get ranked, scored results

Within seconds, you get a ranked list: match scores, top repos, a plain-English summary of what each person has been building, and estimated seniority.

3

Explore candidate profiles

Click any candidate to see their public GitHub profile, activity timeline, and whether they're "Rated" or "Underrated." You also get a summary of what they've been working on, written from their commits and PRs.

4

Reach out with personalized emails

Generate an outreach email written from the candidate's actual contributions. Edit the tone, drop in your role details, send. Free on every plan.

5

Enrich when you need contact info

If a candidate's public profile doesn't have their email, enrich for $5. You get personal email, LinkedIn, plus a deep analysis of their coding style, PR communication, and collaboration network.

Features

Search, evaluate, and reach candidates. All backed by real contribution data.

Natural language search

Describe the experience you need, like you would to a colleague. "Someone who's built video transcoding pipelines" works.

AI Contribution Summaries

Every candidate comes with a plain-English summary of what they've been building — generated from their actual commits and PRs.

Underrated scoring

Contribution quality vs. social visibility, plotted on two axes. Great code + low follower count = underrated. That's where the best candidates are.

6-signal scoring

Repo relevance, activity volume, code quality, recency, consistency, breadth. Weights adjust automatically based on what you searched for.

Free Outreach Emails

Emails written from the candidate's commits and PRs, not a mail-merge template. Included with every plan.

$5 enrichment

Personal email, LinkedIn, plus 8 analysis signals: commit stats, PR communication style, maintainership, activity trends. Per candidate.

Chat-Based Interface

Search, refine, explore candidates, generate emails -- all through conversation. Your chat history is your search history.

AI Coding Detection

See what percentage of a candidate's commits show AI-assisted coding traces. Up to you what to do with that info.

Seniority & Location

Seniority estimated from account age, repos, and review activity. Location inferred and normalized — "SF" and "Bay Area" both match.
