I am interested in understanding the role a Stack Overflow profile plays in the hiring process for developers. Specifically, I would like to know:

How often do recruiters and interviewers review a candidate’s Stack Overflow profile?
What specific aspects of the profile (e.g., reputation, answers, badges) are most influential?
I am asking this because I have an active Stack Overflow profile where I regularly answer questions and engage with the community. I am curious if this effort can positively impact my job applications and interviews.

Thank you for your insights!
