What would improve this for most applicants would be having access to the repos where they actually work. What I have in GitHub is mostly after-hours work that is slapped together hastily as POCs. I'd never get hired and I've been in the industry longer than VCS.

Great point, that’s definitely one of the biggest limitations right now. GitCruiter only sees public repos, so it naturally misses the context of people’s real work.

I’m exploring ways to let developers optionally connect private repos or upload anonymized activity snapshots, if there’s enough community interest to make privacy and consent solid.

Totally agree this would make the results far more representative. Thanks for raising it.
