This simple GitHub config change puts can put you at the top of my hiring list
I’ve hired about 20 developers in my career so far (and I’m looking forward to hire more). When job applications arrive I separate them in three piles: Yes, No, and Maybe. It’s better to do Yes and No piles, but it’s a luxury that I haven’t had (if curious, drop a comment and I’ll write another blog post about it).
In the No-pile I put all those people that are obviously not a match, people that explicitly tell me they never wrote code before, people outside the time zone target, applications with grammar so bad I can’t understand them, etc.
[…] the most important bit: I find some evidence that they have written code before.
In the Yes-pile I put all those that show promise. Their application looks good, their profile match and this is the most important bit: I find some evidence that they have written code before.
