Refolk

Refolk is an AI recruitment sourcing tool that turns plain-English queries into ranked shortlists of candidates, companies, and GitHub repositories for recruiters, founders, and hiring managers. Instead of building Boolean filters, you describe who you want (for example, "Staff backend engineers in NYC who shipped Rust in production") and the agent searches public sources in real time, then returns matching profiles with a reason for each match. Refolk reads live from LinkedIn, Crunchbase, GitHub, and the open web at search time, so results reflect current data rather than a stale index, and it surfaces profiles that traditional keyword search tools often miss. Each match includes transparent reasoning showing why the person or repo fits the criteria, and the tool can draft personalized outreach emails to contact candidates. You can browse shared searches from other users to reuse queries and results, and export lists to plug into an existing recruiting workflow. Refolk is aimed at individual recruiters, venture investors and founders, and hiring managers who source their own talent, including teams at startups like Ramp, Linear, Retool, and Deel. During early access it offers 500 free credits per month with no credit card required, making it low-risk to test for technical and hard-to-find roles where GitHub signal matters.

Recruiters, founders, and hiring managers use Refolk to source candidates via plain-English queries that return ranked people, company, and GitHub shortlists with reasoning.
