developerdb is a great extension to find and source tech talent online. Reach more passive candidates & sales prospects with a database of 30 million tech workers. This database consists of a wide range of tech people, many not found elsewhere, along with tech-specialized data that enables better targeting. I’ve had full access to this tool for a while and I can say that I’m truly impressed by its features.

Some call outs: you can see how each profiles languages preferences, the contact information provided is highly accurate, and you can perform diverse (BLNA) searches within the platform. Overall, it’s worth reviewing further if you are searching for tech talent online!

Passive Candidates within the Tech Space

Reach more passive candidates & sales prospects with a large database. Find niche hard to find candidates that would not normally be on other sites like LinkedIn or Indeed.

developerDB is Not a Traditional Data Provider

Traditional data providers are good at basic business information: Name, business email, job title, and company location. They are convenient as they cover broad ranges of industries but are not good for reaching tech people.

Here’s why:

There are no profiles of non-traditional tech people: ex. Freelancers, contract, or career changers.
Traditional data is lacking deep coverage in most tech niche areas.
No tech specific data such as tech skill rankings and “beyond work” tech activities.
Outdated information: Data is refreshed quarterly or longer.
