why would you think that just because you are active on GitHub, that someone would be bothered to look at links on your CV? 99.9 of the world population aren't software development minded.

#12You have expectations that HR cannot meet, unfortunately. As an outside recruiter, I try to eliminate all layers between the candidate and hiring manager (AKA the individual who will acknowledge and apprectiate your github work!). I'm sorry that's discouraging and frustrating, because it's unfair, but it will require more work on your part.

99.9 of the world population doesn't have to select the right candidate for a software development position either.
Those that do should have an idea about the job they're doing.
