> Sourcing.io lets your team members connect Twitter, GitHub and LinkedIn accounts, allowing you to filter by candidates connected in some way to your team.

It's got to be awkward when someone at work comes and asks you to connect your social accounts to their new hiring engine. I wonder how much traction this will get.

I don't really see the point to Twitter for hiring purposes.

But both LinkedIn and GitHub serve as e-resumes. Any decent tech company will want to see what you've worked on/contributed to, and a lot of the time and dev worth their salt will voluntarily provide their GitHub on a resume. LinkedIn, even though it's more social than GitHub, still serves as a professional site. You don't voluntarily put your information on LinkedIn only to hide it from potential employers.
