If I publish my art, my code, my thoughts, etc. They get harvested by the same LLMs this person is complaining about... I don't really see how that's a win. And eventually this person will also be replaced by an AI that will take the decisions he is so humanly and "bravely" taking when hiring people by assessing less subjective criterias.

I keep only sending major works I've created or contributed to, to the potential employers I have carefully selected, privately, by law (in my jurisdiction) they are not allowed to publish/use it.

I still contribute to open-source but clearly these references tend to have less and less value for job hunting in my experience, unless you own a very, very popular repo.

My advice is to publish selectively and only where the expected returns beat the downsides. The data this person wants from potential hires are not included in this. I would safely avoid their company if these are the kind of fire hoops he wants me to jump through.
