Do you mind if I ask a follow up? Do you feel that the breakdown with recruiters is because there is not an easy way to present as "suitable" for a role? At the risk of leading to an answer, do you think that this is related to the information density constraints of a resume and linkedin profile, and the additional risk that a recruiter cannot do much to parse a GitHub repo? Also, when these recruiters are reaching out to you, what is your experience of split between external firm vs internal FTE at target company? |

Well, I think in a perfect world, every recruiter would be someone who had worked a little bit with the technologies for which they were hiring. Essentially, they'd be ex-engineers who could understand the relationships between different pieces of technology, just as programming languages, servers, and cloud systems.

Yes, I think that's related.

About 70% external vs 30% internal when I advertise as "looking for work" on LinkedIn. There's degrees of "external", of course.
