🔍 Day 22 – Use GitHub “Followers” & “Following” for Tech Talent Discovery

When sourcing developers, GitHub isn’t just for finding code—it’s a networking map of top tech talent.

👨‍💻 Tip: Check who a good candidate is following or being followed by.

Visit a strong developer’s profile

Click on their “Followers” and “Following”

You’ll uncover developers from similar backgrounds, skills, or companies


🧠 Why it works:
Techies often follow peers they admire or collaborate with. This helps you discover passive candidates who might not even be on LinkedIn!

🔧 Bonus Tool: Use tools like OctoHR or GitHub advanced search to filter by language, location, or activity level.
