The were two posts on Reddit about placing fakes ad for a job to see how the competition was. They were both blown away with the quality of the applications, in particular people working on a lot of important side projects.
I can only assume recruiters very much consider this when they don't know anything else about you.
- tpetry 9y agoDo you still have the reddit articles? Sounds interesting.
- elmerland 9y agoAll things being equal if all you know is their side projects that makes sense. Normally you would have their resume which includes work done at their job. I get how it's so tempting to look at people's side projects as a measure of proficiency. I just don't think it's fair to judge people by their ability to spend hours working outside of work.
