TL;DR
Smart Matching goes beyond static CVs. We combine work history, live developer activity on daily.dev, and future career goals to surface only developers who are active, relevant, and aligned with your role.
How Smart Matching works
Past
Traditional signals like work history, roles, and skills.
Present
Real-time activity inside daily.dev: what developers read, follow, and engage with today.
Future
Career aspirations revealed through platform engagement, like exploring new stacks or role shifts.
Why this matters for recruiters
More accurate matches: You see developers who are truly aligned, not just keyword hits.
Less noise: Skip wasted screens with irrelevant or outdated candidates.
Faster cycles: Go straight to developers already interested in your type of role.
Important:
Smart Matching is not a search tool. You do not build Boolean strings. Instead, our system automatically surfaces relevant developers based on live intent signals.
FAQs
Q: Can I see the exact signals used?
You receive a candidate brief that summarizes key signals. We do not expose raw activity data to protect developer privacy.
Q: Is Smart Matching only for technical skills?
No. It also accounts for seniority, location, and role type preferences.
Q: Can Smart Matching miss someone?
If a developer is inactive on daily.dev, they will not appear. This is intentional, as our focus is on engaged, reachable talent.
