Likewise the companies that think they are more important than my private life are not worthwhile for me to apply.

If the HR isn't able to evaluate my skills from my references and the projects I helped my employers and customers to earn, there are also lots of companies to apply for.

Just like employees, companies aren't special snowflakes.

Besides most of my github stuff is useless for my type of work, because I am forbidden by contracts to publish anything related to our projects.

I don't understand the haughty attitude with which many companies treat potential candidates. And there are some truly terrible ones out there. Its worked well for me since I wouldn't want to work in a place that treats potential future employees that way. But in most big orgs, HR and hiring is somewhat divorced from the actual day to day so I keep that in mind as well.
