- Diversity sourcing features have been part of the product for years
Where Entelo falls short
- No self-serve entry

- Filter on activity itself: contribution volume, repository count, language mix and country
- Self-serve, so you can evaluate it without a sales call or an annual commitment
Where RealGreatDevs falls short
- Engineering only. If you also hire sales, finance or design, you need something else alongside it
- Coverage depends on public code, so engineers who work only in private repositories are underrepresented
- Not an ATS or a CRM: it finds and contacts people, it does not manage them through a hiring process
