🌐Sourcing Tip Day 144: Use “Project Mentions Sourcing” on GitHub & Portfolio Sites

✅ Many strong IT candidates don’t show their full skills on LinkedIn —
but they showcase real expertise in the “Projects” section of GitHub, GitLab, Behance, Dribbble, or personal websites.

🚦How to use it:

🔍Search for specific project keywords instead of job titles.
Example: “Kubernetes” “Helm chart” project or “React” “dashboard” repo”.

🎯 Look at commit frequency, code quality, and project description.

Check contributors, collaborators, and people starring or forking the project.

Example (IT Role – Full Stack Developer):
Search GitHub repos containing: “React admin dashboard” AND “Node.js API”

You’ll find developers who have actually built what your role requires — not just listed it on a CV.

This surfaces hands-on, high-quality talent who often fly under the radar.
