Ask HN: What third-party sites are good/bad indicators for hiring?

3 pointsby teapot01over 8 years ago
I&#x27;ve seen plenty of CVs include profiles for some or all of: - Github - StackOverflow - HackerRank - HackerNews - Personal Blogs (medium etc.)<p>When hring how do you take into account any&#x2F;all of the above and what weighting would you give to them?

It depends on the role you&#x27;re hiring for, but in general I would weight the content of the profile higher than the website it&#x27;s on. For example, a history of high-quality Hacker News comments would be more compelling than a lackluster GitHub account.

Not a good idea. What I have seen is young inexperienced people create lot more github, stackoverflow junk.<p>Do not mistake me there are badass developers too but you will figure them out just by resume too.
