We actually originally started generating a 'score' for engineers, and it's still part of our API. However, we dropped it from the interface since it was confusing a lot of people, and the score tended to reflect how popular an engineer was, rather than how good they were. As you can imagine, figuring out the latter is a very complex problem. For now, we've removed it.

Something like "geek cred" (coderwall.com) or open-source track record, because building many projects is one of the key-factors of experience. Coderwall published that they work with statistical methods like central tendency. https://coderwall.com/blog/2012-02-05-the-companies-id-want-to-work-for https://coderwall.com/blog/2012-02-05-the-companies-id-want-...
