I think this is an awesome idea and is incredibly straightforward. Here's what we got, here's what you'll get, what have you done? I assume however that once they've selected some good candidates, based on github participation and code, they take the time to get a feel for the actual person. I know a lot of really great developers who are just horrid to work with in a team environment.

Good to see you guys are being innovative with your hiring. I love the NO-BS approach.

That's exactly our plan, thanks for your reply!

You win, made me share the link just because it's got my score attached!

But I do wonder what the scoring system is like? Do you optimize based on what you're looking for, or just general awesomeness?

It's directly based on what we are looking for, in this case an intern/junior dev. However, you will get a nice score if you are a good python/django developer as well :-)

Divio doesn't go so well in divio's test:

The algorithm is not optimized for organizations as we're only looking for real people ;) But you can check out the high score here: https://www.divio.ch/en/github/highscore/
