Frequently asked questions
- How is Vamo different?
- Vamo matches each engineer’s GitHub work to their LinkedIn history in its own database. Its own agents track technology, company and research activity, so ranks stay current. It ranks everyone on its own benchmarks, including the cracked score, and its hosted models say in one line why each one fits your ask.
- Which tool is best for hiring software engineers?
