Back in the '90s, landing a job often came down to just two things—a resume and a phone call. If the conversation clicked, you were hired. Simple, straightforward, and human.
Today, I've embraced a similar approach—but with a modern twist. I skip overly complex interview processes and instead ask candidates one key question: "Can I see your GitHub?" This tells me what truly matters: your work, your passion, and your potential.
Great hires aren’t about checking boxes or navigating hoops; they're about finding genuine talent, curiosity, and the ability to contribute meaningfully. Keep it authentic, keep it transparent, keep it about the work.

"Can I see your GitHub?" This tells me what truly matters: your work, your passion, and your potential.
We have hired contractors directly from github. I always tell young IT people that they should absolutely have a github and it should basically be their resume. Checking out someones github is at least a 5x better interview technique than anything else....
This doesn't just go for developers, really anything in IT should can be represented by a github repo.....
