yeah i think they're much less likely to look at it, unless they're already significantly interested in you as a candidate for some other reason. We're in a competitive marketplace and having a profile that stands out is definitely an edge
Wouldn't a personal site stand out more if everyone has a GitHub?
remember that a recruiter is probably spending about 30 seconds assessing your job application, and that you're one candidate out of dozens. In that environment they're going to go with the easy route and showing them a bunch of pinned, interesting repos with a healthy number of stars in a format they're used to is going to help them to quickly put you in the "maybe" pile rather than the "nope" pile.
