Rust talent is scarce and hard to assess in an interview. ViewSkill finds developers with real Rust work on GitHub and ranks them by depth and quality.

Why Rust CVs don't tell you enough

The Rust pool is small, and the gap between someone who finished the book and someone who ships production Rust is large: ownership in complex code, async runtimes, unsafe code kept to a minimum and well-documented crates.

ViewSkill reads the Rust projects a developer owns and contributes to, checks for those signals and recent activity, and gives you a ranked shortlist with the evidence linked.

Searches you can run

What a strong Rust profile shows

Published crates

Crates on crates.io with docs and downloads are strong public proof.

Async and systems work

Tokio services, networking, embedded or WebAssembly projects depending on your role.

Safety habits

Little unsafe code, clippy-clean code and good error types.

Tests and benchmarks

Unit tests, integration tests and criterion benchmarks.

Questions

How does ViewSkill check a Rust developer's skills?
It reads the public repositories the developer owns on GitHub: which Rust projects they built, how recently they pushed, how the code is structured and whether other people use it. Each verified skill gets a level from Familiar to Expert, with the repos behind it linked so you can check.
Do I need to be technical to hire a Rust developer this way?
No. You describe the role in plain English and every candidate comes with a one-paragraph verdict and a 0 to 100 score. You can forward the report to an engineer, but you don't need one to shortlist.
What about developers whose best work is private?
ViewSkill only sees public code, so it can miss strong people who work in closed repos. Use it to find and rank the people with visible evidence, and use the built-in coding test for candidates who have little public code.
How much does it cost?
The first search is free and needs no credit card. After that, every search, report or outreach draft costs one credit; paid plans add a monthly credit allowance.
