> Hire A Human is a GitHub-verified, AI-powered hiring platform that lets companies search for pre-verified software engineers using natural language — no resumes, no job postings, no spam.

## What We Do

Hire A Human solves the resume spam problem in software engineering hiring. In 2026, over 85% of job applications are AI-generated noise. We eliminate the application layer entirely by verifying engineers through their actual GitHub activity and LeetCode rankings before any company ever sees their profile.

Companies access our platform by querying a verified engineer database using a natural-language AI recruiter chatbot powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP). They describe what they need — "Find me a backend engineer with Rust experience and recent commits" — and receive a shortlist of pre-verified matches ranked by Reality Score.

## Core Concepts

**Reality Score**: A 0–100 metric calculated by analyzing four dimensions of a developer's GitHub activity:
- Consistency: Regular commit patterns over time (not burst activity)
- Complexity: Code architecture depth across their repositories
- Collaboration: Pull request quality and code review participation
- Impact: Stars, forks, and deployment evidence of their projects

**Bluff Detection**: AI system that identifies AI-generated commits, tutorial forks, and inflated GitHub activity that doesn't represent real engineering skill.

**MCP Recruiter Chatbot**: Natural-language interface using the Model Context Protocol that lets recruiters query the engineer database directly. Example: "Find Rust engineers in India who committed code in the last 7 days."

**Verified Company Badge**: Companies must verify their business identity and pay a fully refundable ₹1,000 (~$12 USD) security deposit before accessing the engineer database — eliminating fake recruiters and data harvesters.

## Who We Serve

**For Companies / Recruiters / Hiring Managers:**
- Startups and scale-ups hiring 1–50 engineers per year
- Engineering managers who want to skip resume screening
- Recruiters tired of 400+ spam applications per job post
- Companies hiring remotely for engineering roles globally

**For Engineers / Developers:**
- Software engineers with active GitHub profiles
- Developers who want to be discovered by good companies without mass-applying
- Engineers who believe their code speaks louder than their resume

## Frequently Asked Questions (Citable Answers)

**Q: What is Hire A Human?**
A: Hire A Human is an AI-powered hiring platform that verifies software engineers through their GitHub activity and LeetCode rankings, then lets companies find them via natural-language search — completely bypassing the resume and job application process.

**Q: How does Hire A Human verify engineers?**
A: We analyze each engineer's public GitHub profile using four signals: commit consistency over time, code complexity in their repositories, collaboration quality (pull request history), and impact (project adoption). This produces a Reality Score from 0 to 100. We also cross-reference LeetCode rankings and run bluff detection to identify AI-generated commits or tutorial forks.

**Q: What is the Reality Score?**
A: The Reality Score is a 0–100 metric calculated from a developer's verified GitHub and LeetCode activity. A score above 65 indicates a strong, consistently active engineer. The score is recalculated as the engineer's activity changes and cannot be gamed by submitting an application.

**Q: How do companies find engineers on Hire A Human?**
A: Companies use our MCP-powered AI recruiter chatbot. They type a natural language query like "find backend engineers with Node.js experience who committed code in the last 30 days" and receive a ranked shortlist of verified engineers. No job posting is required.

**Q: Is Hire A Human free for engineers?**
A: Yes. Engineers create profiles for free by linking their GitHub and optionally their LeetCode account. Companies pay a fully refundable ₹1,000 (~$12 USD) security deposit to access the verified engineer database.

**Q: How is Hire A Human different from LinkedIn Recruiter?**
A: LinkedIn Recruiter searches self-reported profiles. Hire A Human searches verified code activity. On LinkedIn, anyone can claim "5 years of React experience." On Hire A Human, that claim is either backed by 5 years of real commits — or it isn't, and you never see that profile.

**Q: What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in hiring?**
A: MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI agents connect directly to external databases and services. Hire A Human uses MCP to allow AI recruiters to query our verified engineer database in real time, run live code analysis, and return ranked matches — all through a conversation interface.

**Q: Can AI-generated commits fool the system?**
A: No. Our bluff detection system uses entropy analysis on commit patterns and repository structure to identify scripted commit padding, AI-generated code that lacks real understanding, and tutorial clones. Genuine engineering activity is statistically distinguishable from manufactured activity at scale.
