1. A Bigger and Better Talent Pool

Prog.AI gives you access to 60 million software engineers from platforms like GitHub, StackOverflow, Kaggle, LinkedIn, and online resumes. Unlike LinkedIn, which is based only on self-reported information, Prog.AI scores technical skills by actual programming code contribution on GitHub, and problem-solving StackOverflow.

This means you can find skilled candidates that other platforms might miss. By comparison, LinkedIn platforms are limited to 40 million profiles, often restricted to those within your network or public accounts.

2. Smarter AI Search

Prog.AI’s advanced AI search is built based on a fine-tuned large language model. It matches all kinds of variations of a job title, for example “ML engineer” to “Machine Learning Engineer”, “Machine Learning Developer” or “DevRel manager” with “Developer Relations Manager”, “Developer Community Manager”, etc.

Just put a job title, technical requirements or skills, and any other keywords that you want to see in the profiles into the search field, all in plain English, and Prog.AI will search across LinkedIn job titles, GitHub contributions and Stack Overflow activity, and return a ranked list of candidates.

Additionally, Prog.AI can predict job switch likelihood (Likely-to-Move™), helping you identify engineers who are open to new roles.

3. Unlimited Access and Outreach

With Prog.AI, there are no limits on how many profiles you can view or how many candidates you can contact. Use email, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), or phone to reach out to the best talent. Unlike LinkedIn Recruiter Lite, which restricts outreach to 30 InMails per month, or LinkedIn Recruiter, which allows 150 InMails, Prog.AI offers unlimited outreach

This makes it the most effective tool for building a strong LinkedIn tech talent pipeline and connecting with engineers worldwide.

4. Affordable Pricing

Prog.AI costs just $150/month per seat, making it an affordable solution for recruiters everywhere. Compared to LinkedIn Recruiter ($900/month, billed annually) and LinkedIn Recruiter Lite ($170/month), Prog.AI delivers better value with its efficient IT talent acquisition features and extensive database.
