A public GitHub is a free interview. Most hiring teams either ignore it or read it wrong.
You do not need an hour. You need ten minutes and the right five questions.
That is the whole list. Ten minutes.
Total commit count, star totals, contribution graphs, the year they joined. These tell you who has time, not who is good.
Side projects do not need to exist. Many strong engineers have a private GitLab and a quiet life.
GitHub is the screening signal. It tells you who is worth spending time on.
The real test still happens in a live environment, where you watch them solve a problem on your stack. EasyEnv handles that part. Same starting point per candidate, full session recording.
GitHub gets them into the room. The room is where you actually hire.
What is the last GitHub profile that changed your mind on a candidate?
Run live coding sessions and take-home challenges in real production environments. Watch sessions back, score consistently, and hire with confidence.
