I have a question regarding the recommendation of donating your time as a junior developer to open sources. Is it something that catches an eye of a recruiter or a team leader or just a myth?
Definitely something that a good recruiter will take into consideration, however keep in mind that it's the candidate's responsibility to make sure this information is emphasized enough.
If there is only a link to the github account - no one can promise that the recruiter will actually check it/understand that it's important. I would suggest the candidate to emphasize the fact that they contribute to open-source project - for example, add a link to the issues/prs that they contributed.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Thanks @mayaliberman1 !
