I recently started a new job and their recruiter found me through my Github profile. Aside from that, I put my Github link on my CV and have for a while. Additionally, when I am interviewing others, I always like to see a Github link or will Google them to find a Github account. Even though people may work a lot in closed source, it is interesting to see the activity history, to see which projects they've forked, patched, written, or contributed to. It sometimes varies based on the community you're in, but the Ruby community is very collaborative and sharing contributions. Even when I've worked in largely closed source codebases, I'll still encounter bugs in other libraries, fork them, fix it, and send a pull request. Those all show in my repo list and activity feed.
