DEV is a community of software developers getting together to help one another out. The software industry relies on collaboration and networked learning. We provide a place for that to happen. This can be a great place to find candidates however a lot of recruiter do not search here. The reason is simple they do not know how. Well to do this without worry you need go no further than into your bag of tricks and pull out an old tried and true Method called Xraying.

So to source within DEV you simply need to use a skill known as xraying, like the one below.

site:dev.to C# "DEV Community"

If you run the strings above you will notice a searching area, were you can designate what you want to search see below.
