    If you want someone with communication skills so they are able to find out what the end-users actually want and can communicate with other people to overcome issues then the site isn't any use.
    Fair concern, our recruiter customers are finding that people who are chosen by our algorithm have been voted as :

    + Communicating their questions and answers lucidly
    + Writing good open-source code that is popular

    This isn't meant to cover *everyone*, but it is a talent pool that recruiters are beginning to see the potential in.

      It's pulls coder peer-reviews in from various sites and lets people search for people who might be appropriate for their jobs.

      I'm afraid that benjiboy ia a bit indisposed at the the moment.

      He's off to reread the T&Cs of this forum.

        booooooooooo!!!!!!

        Only kidding, decent idea.

        Looking at Stackoverflow and Github history is something that is pretty big in the US.

        Might be good as an addition to a recruitment process. Obviously it misses those that do not have presence on those types of sites.

        And of course Stackoverflow has this built in http://careers.stackoverflow.com/

          Oops!

          He only came back as I resurrected this thread, sorry Benjiman!

          To be fair, he did state he was the founder of the company in the OP. Rulez is Rulez I guess.
