I would hope that, at minimum, they're respecting the hirable? flag on profiles. Their about page is full of marketing speak, but short on actual details. (I understand that they don't want to give away their "secret sauce," but is there really that much to it?)

Edit: Also, their algorithm seems pretty off - a search around me returns some candidates in the "top 10%" group who only have one repo and it's a fork of someone else's with a small bugfix. (Nothing wrong with that - I appreciate those who take the time to submit patches. But surely a single fix of a couple of lines shouldn't rocket someone into the top 10% of GitHub.)

They do not (or at least, did not) respect that flag nor do they (or did they previously, at least) respect an explicit opt-out of their service. Great that they're successful, but for a while there they were well on their way to pissing off the developers they so desperately need to actually make money.
