A résumé tells you what someone claims. A star tells you what they reach for. WarmStars scans the developers who follow the exact tools in your stack and turns them into named profiles, then lets you filter to the ones flagged open to work, with a public email for many of them.

Find engineers by the code they care about.
Hiring for Rust infra? Scan the stargazers of tokio-rs/tokio and you are looking at people who chose to follow it, not people who typed “Rust” into a profile. WarmStars turns that self-selected pool into named engineers with location, output, and an open-to-work flag, so your first message lands on someone who is already in the ecosystem you’re staffing.
Starring a repo is a deliberate signal of what an engineer cares about. Sourcing from it beats keyword roulette across boards that anyone can game.
Filter by the open-to-work flag, by location for on-site or timezone fit, and by public output, so you spend outreach on the handful worth a real note.
You already know the project they follow. That gives your first message a specific, honest hook, the kind that earns a reply from passive candidates.
Every scanned profile carries the fields that decide who is worth a message, so you stop reading bios and start shortlisting.
hireableGitHub’s open-to-work flag, surfaced as a filter. Start with the people who already said they’re looking.
locationTarget a city for on-site, a region for visa fit, or remote-friendly time zones.
public_reposA quick read on output and depth before you spend a slot on outreach.
emailA reachable address where one is public, so a warm lead doesn’t dead-end at a profile page.
One stargazer comes back as an engineer who follows your stack, is flagged open to work, and is reachable. A shortlist of one you didn’t have to dig a board for.
