Match tiers show how well available public evidence aligns with your role criteria - not candidate quality.
Signals Sonar Air reads
Public evidence that supports technical review.
Sonar Air surfaces candidates from the places technical people actually leave a trail: code, answers, discussions, notebooks, and long-form writing.
GitHub
Repositories, commits, issue activity
Read the code trail: what people build, how they collaborate, and what engineering problems they solve.
Stack Overflow
Answers, expertise depth, problem-solving style
Turn technical contributions into hiring signals that non-technical reviewers can understand.
Hacker News
Community presence and discussion quality
Find practical judgment, product thinking, and the ability to discuss technical decisions publicly.
Kaggle
Modeling work, notebooks, data intuition
Spot applied analytical depth and evidence of structured, reproducible technical work.
Technical blogs
Long-form thinking and architecture decisions
Capture how candidates explain complexity, defend tradeoffs, and teach peers.
Recruiter rubric
Skills, seniority, location, must-have signals
Every shortlist reflects your role definition, not a generic black-box recommendation.
