Exploring a New Candidate Sourcing Tool
Hey everyone,
As someone passionate about building SaaS products, I’ve come up with an idea that I’d love to get your feedback on.
Picture this: a tool specifically designed to help you connect with developers from your desired region. It would provide you with their LinkedIn, Twitter, email, Reddit, and possibly even phone numbers. Would you consider paying €50 per month for access to this tool? It would allow you to reach out to potential candidates in the software development field directly.
The concept behind this is that developers may not respond on LinkedIn, as many of them prefer other platforms like Twitter, where you might receive a more positive response.
I’m curious if anything like this already exists. Your insights would be invaluable!
Thanks for your input!

Hi there!
I think your idea of a candidate sourcing tool that curates contact information from various platforms is intriguing and has potential. The ability to reach out to developers where they are most comfortable could indeed improve engagement rates, especially in the tech community where many prefer platforms like Twitter or Discord over LinkedIn.
However, there are several factors to consider:
Privacy and Compliance: Collecting and sharing contact information raises privacy concerns and legal implications (like GDPR in Europe). You’d need to ensure that the information is collected and shared in adherence to privacy laws.
Existing Solutions: There are various platforms that offer talent sourcing tools, but they might not focus on providing a wide range of contact methods like you propose. It would be beneficial to research the market thoroughly to identify any that come close and see how your solution could stand out.
Quality over Quantity: While having multiple contact avenues is useful, the quality and responsiveness of the developers are crucial. Ensure that potential candidates are open to being contacted and that the tool facilitates meaningful connections.
Value Proposition: Consider what additional features could make your tool more attractive. For example, could you include filters for skills, experience, or project types? Or maybe insights into the best times to reach out based on activity trends on different platforms?
Pricing and Market Fit: €50 per month might be reasonable, but you’ll need to validate this pricing with potential users. Maybe consider a tiered pricing model based on the number of leads or the features used.
Overall, I think there’s potential in your idea, but it’s essential to validate it with potential users and consider the legal aspects. Good luck with your project!
Best,
