From what I've seen, a Github profile now influences the hiring process too.

  This is definitely true. I'll often check to see if a candidate has a github account when making a hiring decision. Having some interesting/good code up there can definitely move the needle a bit on a hire/no hire decision.

    When looking into a candidates work do any of the other platforms or services come to mind at all or is it solely Github that you check?

      Their personal website + public projects?
    • harryh 16y ago
      github + whatever a quick google search turns up + anything they've linked to on their actual resume

  Absolutely. A record of solid past work can help overshadow a poor interview (nervousness, etc.) in my eyes. If I can see the sorts of things a candidate has worked on in the past, I can more tailor the interview and ask more engaging questions. I want to know what they're passionate enough about that they will give up free time to pursue it. None of this is specific to Github.
