In my experience it's a positive sign to have an active Github profile or open source contributions, but it is not a negative sign if a candidate doesn't have one.
At higher levels (Principal, Distinguished) you often have to show external contributions to the industry, and some companies count open source towards this.
I can honestly say that my profile has been a huge benefit to my career, but that's more due to 20 years of open source contributions and a very customized (and automated) profile page.

- constantly 3y agoYeah, when your GitHub profile looks like _that_! I would take that into account as well as a hiring manager. I do regularly click through candidates’ GH profiles and they’re usually not noteworthy so don’t count them for or against them. If they looked like yours though I would definitely read more deeply.
- flir 3y agoYeah, that's not a github profile that's a landing page for a one-man consultancy. Very impressive.
