ASU Students Win CalHacks with GitHired

A team of Arizona State University students took top honors at CalHacks 2025 , the world’s largest collegiate hackathon, with their project GitHired — a new tool that reimagines how startups hire engineers. Built in just 48 hours by Raghav Bansal, Aarav Matalia , Asmi Kachare , and Krishna Govind Oza, GitHired replaces résumés with real code. The platform analyzes developers’ GitHub profiles , surfacing their top projects, tech stacks, and contributions — even from private repositories. It then ranks applicants based on skill match, giving founders a faster, fairer way to evaluate talent. “Resumes belong to the old internet,” says Bansal.“The next generation of hiring is about what you can actually build.” GitHired also includes an AI-integrated coding challenge , allowing candidates to use the same tools they would on the job. The result:a hiring process grounded in real-world ability, not guesswork. At CalHacks — an inclusive space where innovators of all backgrounds can build, learn, and create — GitHired stood out for its simplicity and impact. It’s not just a hackathon project; it’sa glimpse at the future of startup hiring. 🎥 Watch their demo: GitHired on YouTub e Subscribe to Silicon Oasis Magazine to get fresh stories of founders, funding, and frontier tech delivered each month. 🗞️ Subscribe now : https://thesiliconoasis.org/magazin e
