The bottleneck recruiters face

  • Developers ignore cold emails and LinkedIn outreach

  • Traditional channels are noisy and abused

  • Even great profiles are useless without attention

  • Recruiters waste hours chasing candidates who never reply

How daily.dev changes the game

  • Developers open daily.dev every day to learn and connect

  • Roles appear where developers already expect engagement

  • Every intro is double opt in, which builds confidence on both sides

  • Trust leads directly to higher response rates and faster cycles

Important:

Trust is not a feature. It is the foundation. Protecting developer trust is why daily.dev Recruiter works and why reply rates remain high.

Yes. Because developers return to daily.dev daily, trust and attention remain consistent across multiple roles and markets.
