GitStart also provides an avenue for companies to find and hire software developers, and it helps build software developers' skills and career prospects by giving them the opportunity to grow their abilities as part of the GitStart developer community.
When a GitStart client assigns a coding task to the GitStart Bot, it, in turn,then sends the task to hundreds of developers and has them review each other's work. The developers work on tasks , and the more senior GitStart developers check the code and provide feedback to the junior developers, which helps them improve their skills while also providing quality checks for the clients. If a GitStart client wants to hire a GitStart developer who has proven themselves to them, GitStart makes a commission.
GitStart has already had successsuccessfully managingmanaged over 7500 pull requests for its customers, which includeincluding Sourcegraph, Sales Impact Academy, Hello Alice, NURX, the United Nations, Immunefi, ReadyFX, UBX, First Resonance, Courier, Epoints, and Juven.

Developers can live anywhere in the world and speak any language. Resumes are not required to join the developer community, just proven code from tasks assigned. Developers receive a learning stipend in their local currency or in crypto, and pay grows as their skill level grows.
