If they want to get hired easily, yes. (NB: I don't have any code up on github)

Hiring sucks, interviewing sucks. Existing code on GitHub - which can be discussed makes it easier. It creates an online reputation that an interviewer can judge you on without asking 20 extra questions. People are people and are going to take the easy way out rather than come up with good ways of interviewing people who don't have their hobby projects online.
