Absolutely.
It's just luck and survivor-ship bias.
The best way to recruit is to use a network, period. Having multiple people vouch for someone is far more valuable than seeing if he has a github. And even then - it might be a bad fit.
Companies never look internally when it comes to recruiting either. They blame other things, like developer "passion" and not fitting a "work hard play hard culture."
