I'm not sure if this will work, the thing is that a lot of good hackers that I know, don't like to spend time on writing nice resumes, sign-up for jobs websites, write a good bio, introduction etc, they simply prefer to do what they like :)
Thanks, maldinii, that's exactly the problem we are trying to solve. Take a look at the sign-up page http://fiveyearitch.com/register We made it super-simple: No resume, no bio, super-short form.
And even after employers contact you, we have optimized to make it easy to ignore them. No chit-chat, you can just click "no thanks."
Yes, I understand your point, but the problem is that if the developer doesn't post enough information, the employer won't be able to evaluate their work and they will not be able to differentiate people that are good from people that are not. A solution that I see for those kind of people is to introduce a 5 minute call with any developer that apply and see what kind of person they are .

Right, we developed a workflow to work around it.
The employer can ask for some quick qualifiers, FizzBuzz-style questions, to separate the sheep from the goats.
They should take two minutes each to answer and are not intended as an in-depth test or interview.
Afterwards, the employer can move into further discussions and the regular interview process.
