Do you mind if I ask a follow up? Do you feel that the breakdown with recruiters is because there is not an easy way to present as "suitable" for a role?
At the risk of leading to an answer, do you think that this is related to the information density constraints of a resume and linkedin profile, and the additional risk that a recruiter cannot do much to parse a GitHub repo?
Also, when these recruiters are reaching out to you, what is your experience of split between external firm vs internal FTE at target company?

Well, I think in a perfect world, every recruiter would be someone who had worked a little bit with the technologies for which they were hiring. Essentially, they'd be ex-engineers who could understand the relationships between different pieces of technology, just as programming languages, servers, and cloud systems. >do you think that this is related to the information density constraints of a resume and linkedin profile, and the additional risk that a recruiter cannot do much to parse a GitHub repo? Yes, I think that's related. >when these recruiters are reaching out to you, what is your experience of split between external firm vs internal FTE at target company? About 70% external vs 30% internal when I advertise as "looking for work" on LinkedIn. There's degrees of "external", of course.
