Hire engineers by what they've actually built.
No job posts. No applicant piles. No keyword-stuffed resumes. Mergd reads real work, from GitHub to LeetCode, and introduces only the engineers who fit your role and have already said yes. Engineers get found without applying anywhere.

How it works
One conversation, the whole hiring pipeline.
Where we're headed. We launch with matching and consented shortlists first, then add screening and interview scheduling.
01 / Chat
Message me on WhatsApp.
Send your CV and your GitHub, LeetCode or Kaggle handles, plus your dealbreakers: pay, location, notice period, visa, remote. One chat replaces every application form.
02 / Match
Matched to real roles, privately.
I read your actual work, not just keywords. When a role fits, I ask you first. Nothing is shared with a company until you say Yes.
03 / Screen & interview
Screening that's fair to you.
A practice round, flexible timing and a human option. Then I book interviews around your calendar, so there's no back-and-forth.
04 / Hired
An answer at every step.
Real updates as you move through the process, clear feedback if it's a no, and support through the offer and your first day.
One chat. Every signal that matters.
You talk to me where you already are. I pull in your public work, keep your profile fresh every week, and you never fill in another application.

Why we're building this
Hiring is broken for both sides.
Here's what we're fixing first.
- 38% of job seekers have walked away from a hiring process because it included an AI interview. Our fix: Practice rounds, flexible timing and a human option. Source: Greenhouse Candidate AI Interview Report, 2026
- 0 job posts needed to get a shortlist. Our fix: Describe the role in plain words.
- 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide will be fake by 2028, Gartner predicts. Our fix: Handles verified with a one-time bio code. Source: Gartner, Jul 2025
- 8% of US job seekers believe AI makes hiring more fair. Our fix: Every score links to the evidence behind it. Source: Greenhouse AI in Hiring Report, Nov 2025
- Ghost jobs waste everyone's time and erode trust. Our fix: Budget, timeline and hiring manager confirmed.
- 51% of candidates who finished an AI interview never heard back. Our fix: Everyone who says Yes gets a clear answer. Source: Greenhouse Candidate AI Interview Report, 2026
- 70% of candidates were never clearly told upfront that AI would evaluate them. Our fix: Clear notice before any AI screening. Source: Greenhouse Candidate AI Interview Report, 2026
- Employed? Searching quietly shouldn't be risky. Our fix: Hide from named companies, pause or delete anytime.
- Pay surprises show up at the offer stage, after weeks of interviews. Our fix: Dealbreakers captured before any match.

Everything engineers and hiring teams ask us most. Still curious? Join the waitlist and ask me directly.
Mergd is an AI talent agent that works over WhatsApp. Engineers tell it what they build and what they want next, and it matches them to real roles. Companies describe a role in plain words and get a ranked shortlist of engineers who have already agreed to be introduced. Over time it will also handle screening and interview scheduling, taking hiring from first chat to hired.
You message the agent on WhatsApp, share your dealbreakers (pay, location, notice period, visa, remote) and your public profile handles. It builds a living profile from your actual work. When a role fits, it asks you privately first, and nothing about you is shared until you say Yes.
Describe the role in plain language. No job post is needed. The agent turns your brief into a scorecard, matches on what engineers have actually built, applies hard filters for pay, location, notice period and visa, and returns a consented, ranked shortlist with match reasons.
Yes. Mergd never charges candidates any fee, now or later.
GitHub, GitLab, LeetCode, Codeforces, Kaggle and Hugging Face. It only reads public data from handles you share, verifies each handle with a one-time code you place in your public bio, and never asks for passwords or session cookies.
Not from us. You can hide your profile from named companies, pause your search or delete your profile at any time, and your identity is only shared with a company after you say Yes to that specific role.
Much faster than a job post, because there's no posting and no applicant pile to screen. Every person on the shortlist will have already opted in to the role. We're in our pilot now and will share real timelines once it's running.
Yes. Send your CV as a PDF right in the WhatsApp chat, and I'll combine it with your public work from GitHub, LeetCode and the rest. What goes away is filling in the same application form for every role.
Mergd is being built now and is in its concierge pilot stage. Early access will open to a small group of engineers and 10 to 15 design-partner startups first. Join the waitlist to be told when it's your turn.
Yes. Early-stage companies hiring engineers can use it free during the pilot in exchange for a thumbs up or down, with a reason, on each shortlisted candidate.
