Why GitHub verification matters for technical hiring

"5 years of React experience" is a claim. A public GitHub history full of React repositories, recent commits, and real projects is evidence.

What the AI actually checks

When a candidate links their GitHub account, Candipath's AI reviews their public repositories and activity to produce an activity level, an activity summary, and a consistency assessment — does their public footprint plausibly support the title and skills on their profile.

A signal, not a gate

GitHub linking is optional, and plenty of excellent engineers have quiet public profiles for good reasons — private-repo-heavy jobs, for instance. Treat the analysis as one more useful signal alongside search match score and questionnaire answers, not a pass/fail filter.
