Who are Inkitt? Have you ever been in a situation where you are seen as much more of a specialist than you really are?

Question

Career in IT

The situation is the following. In March, an offer came from an HR company Inkitt to work as a React Native developer on their new app Galatea.
They said that they found me on Github and saw that I have "experience" in javascript and therefore became interested. And here is the problem. Not only am I not active there (and in general I have not appeared anywhere in the communities), but there is also x one repository with a training task on jquery, which is made absolutely frivolously ( task ), in another repository I made a translation of one small game by the day all lovers ( here it is ), and the rest are the result of my playing with github (empty turnips). I fairly objectively evaluate my knowledge and experience

thinking out loud

maybe I'm underestimating a little, but it doesn't matter

Therefore, I regarded these proposals as the inability of HR to regard candidates + I knew React Native at the level: I know that it exists + I just started getting acquainted with React

thinking out loud again

yes, it wasn’t before that, the last year in college after all

I decided not to even answer them and live, live on.

thinking out loud

did I act rudely?

It's the end of August now.

Extra information

Graduated from college, enrolled as a part-time student at the institute and

I am looking for my first job as a web developer. And today they wrote to me and already offer that they have an open vacancy for the same React Native developer, React frontend and RoR Backend and can arrange a move to Moscow and Berlin, if they take it. Of course, I was surprised that they wrote again, given that they did not answer then. Of course, the situation has changed a bit, I know React better and did a couple of projects for the diploma, created another turnip and did everything right: posted more or less decent projects, but they don’t know this.

In any case, I will already answer them, but before that I would like to hear the opinion of experts.

Answer 1

IMHO, HR does not understand anything, or is too lazy, and you will be weeded out at the stage of communication with the Team Lead if there is not enough knowledge.

Answer 2

What are you losing? Are you afraid that they will take it, but you won’t pull it out? Don't worry about them, come and tell us what you know. No need to say that you don’t know anything, talk about what you really did, albeit simple things. Let them decide for themselves, maybe they need a novice specialist, whom they will train for themselves, and who, perhaps, does not require hundreds of money. In any case, this is an invaluable experience for you.

Answer 3

It is very possible that you were found using some HR software that aggregates developer profiles from all sorts of professional networks like github, stack, etc. Well, they relied on the assessment of this software, instead of double-checking.

Answer 4

Fan mailing to contacts from .... (fill in the required).
It's called that.
