Engineering profiles you can actually message.
GitHub is where engineers ship work and prove skill. But GitHub Jobs shut down in 2021 and the platform has no messaging, no company pages, and no hiring workflow. Connecting Odds pairs a real professional network with GitHub-friendly technical profiles so engineers stay findable and hirable.
A side-by-side look at how Connecting Odds and GitHub Jobs / GitHub network compare.
| Feature | Connecting Odds | GitHub Jobs / GitHub network |
|---|---|---|
| Free professional profile | Yes, unlimited | Repos + README bio only |
| Connection-gated direct messaging | Unlimited DMs to your network | No native DMs |
| Algorithm-free feed | Chronological, no boosted posts | Repo activity feed only |
| One-click apply with resume | Built in, free | Not available |
| Company pages + followers | Yes | Org pages, no hiring layer |
| Recruiter dashboard | Free for small teams | Not available |
| Privacy-first profile | Granular visibility per field | Public by default |
| Mobile + over-the-air updates | Yes via Capacitor + OTA | Native only |
Structured profile, salary expectations, availability, DMs, job posts and recruiter dashboard — all missing from GitHub itself.
GitHub's issue threads and email don't scale as recruiting outreach. Connect-request + DM does.
Link your GitHub profile from your Connecting Odds page; recruiters see both signals side by side.
Yes — GitHub Jobs closed in May 2021. GitHub now recommends the wider ecosystem (LinkedIn, specialized boards) for job posts. Connecting Odds is the closest replacement that stays engineer-native.
For the hiring workflow, yes. Engineers keep GitHub for code and ship signals; Connecting Odds adds the network, profile, DMs and recruiter dashboard that GitHub was never designed to provide.
Recruiters filter Connecting Odds candidates by skills, title and stack. Candidates link their GitHub profile so recruiters can validate the code signal in one click. Native GitHub-metrics filtering is on the roadmap.
