I work in the gaming industry, and recently have been spending a lot of time between reviewing resumes and going through Github code. What I did notice is: - The best profiles I've seen were not Github publishers - Doing a dev-test prior to interview is a better sorting - I believe open-source contribution is a state of mind and not of performance

Has any Github code or practices put you off interviewing someone so far? What kind of dev test do you do? Question and answer or give them a spec to implement?

I give them a dev test (Node JS) with their choice of database to create a small service (front end and back end).

Deliverable is code + db scheme + additionnal questions (mostly how they would improve if they had time, choice on tech etc.)

We also have in interview "do this function for me" to see how they think
