Bottom line
daily.dev Recruiter matches engineering roles inside daily.dev on a flat Agent plan at $350/mo per active role, with unlimited seats and unlimited warm introductions. No placement fees.
Stands out for: Introductions are double opt-in. Engineers see the role in their daily.dev feed and only move forward if they opt in. Matching uses what they read, build, and follow, not resume keywords.
Watch out for: You pay per active role, not per hire or per seat. Five live roles are five bills. Super Agent is $1,000/mo per role for 3x matching pace, candidate insights, and ATS/CRM integrations. Paused roles are not billed.
Overview
daily.dev Recruiter puts roles in front of engineers already on daily.dev. The system scores fit from CV plus reading and follow graph, then waits for the engineer to opt in. You only talk to people who said yes.
Agent is $350/mo per active role: standard matching pace, unlimited recruiter seats, unlimited intros, native candidate experience. Super Agent is $1,000/mo per role: 3x pace, reply-rate booster, candidate insights, ATS and CRM integrations, priority support. Month to month, cancel anytime, no placement fee. Draft, paused, and closed roles are not billed.
Who it's for
Best for
- Product and platform teams hiring engineers who already live on daily.dev
- TA leads who will not pay a 20% agency fee and want month-to-month
- Companies that want double opt-in intros rather than harvested GitHub lists
- Orgs that can pause roles to stop the meter
Not ideal for
- Non-engineering hiring. This is a developer community channel
- Teams that need a self-serve candidate database they can blast InMail at
Key features
Developer community channel. Roles surface privately inside daily.dev to matched engineers who already use the platform daily.
Behavioral matching. Matches on reading, building, and follow signals plus CV, not keyword-only resume search.
Double opt-in intros. Developers opt in and answer screening questions before you approve a warm introduction.
ATS sync (Super Agent). Two-way sync with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, and more.
