NXG Collective vs GitHub
GitHub is the best place to host code and collaborate on it. It shows what you've built if your work is public, but it isn't a hiring network and says little about designers, product managers or private work.
What GitHub does well
- Hosting code, reviews, issues and open-source collaboration.
- A public activity history for engineers who work in the open.
- The tools developers use every day.
Side by side
| GitHub | NXG Collective | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it shows well | Engineers whose work is in public repositories. | Every tech domain: GitHub counts for engineers, and designers, product managers and anyone with private work verify with a reviewed showcase. |
| Verification | Accounts show activity; nobody checks that the work is yours or how good it is. | We check the GitHub account is yours (you connect it), then score real signals. Borderline cases go to a person. |
| A score | Stars and followers. | An Impact Score that uses GitHub where it applies and shares its weight out where it doesn't. |
| Getting hired | No hiring network for individuals. | Verified employers search NXG, send Request Talent briefs, and you see the interest on your Radar. |
