Question 1

What is Sonar Air?

Accepted Answer

Sonar Air is a technical evidence research and candidate discovery platform that works alongside your recruiting stack and helps hiring teams research public technical evidence instead of résumé keywords alone. You define a role profile, run Efficient scans across platforms like GitHub and Stack Overflow, and review candidates with match reasons tied to real evidence. Recruiters stay in control of who to contact.

Question 2

How does Sonar Air find developers?

Accepted Answer

Sonar Air runs Efficient scans against role profiles you configure for each hiring search. A role profile captures skills, languages, location, and sources to query. Sonar Air searches public activity in parallel, maps available public evidence to your role criteria, and returns a shortlist with match reasons you can verify before outreach.

Question 3

What platforms does Sonar Air search?

Accepted Answer

Sonar Air searches public technical sources you enable per role - GitHub, Stack Overflow, Hacker News, Reddit, Kaggle, and technical blogs. Role profiles control which sources run for each search so you can focus discovery where engineers already show their work.

Question 4

How is Sonar Air different from LinkedIn recruiting?

Accepted Answer

LinkedIn relies on self-reported profiles and network reach, while Sonar Air analyzes public technical activity - code, forum answers, and community contributions. Many teams use both: LinkedIn for reach, Sonar Air for evidence-backed depth on specialized engineering roles.

Question 5

How do I get access to Sonar Air?

Accepted Answer

Sonar Air is currently invite-only while self-serve billing is being tested. Book a demo or request access to tell us about your hiring workflow. Once invited, you can start on the Free plan (€0) with one seat, one role, and one scan per month to try Sonar Air on a real hire.

Question 6

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes - the Free plan is €0 so you can try one real role before upgrading. It includes one active role profile, one Efficient scan per month, and standard platform access. Upgrade when you need more profiles or scan volume.
