No, it's useless for this, because companies don't look at it. That would require the recruiters and interviewers to spend more than fifteen seconds prepping for the phone-screen call, and we can't have that.
Incidentally, after my last job hunt one of my new policies was that I hang up on any company that throws me into their fizzbuzz phone-screen after being the one to initiate contact with me. If they didn't think I had the skills they shouldn't have reached out in the first place, and if they do think I have the skills they shouldn't need to waste my time and an interviewer's time on the fizzbuzz question.
(I say this after multiple companies tried to recruit me with a "we want a Django committer, that's why we're contacting you" pitch and then put me into their fizzbuzz-esque phone screens)
