To recruiters, is owning a career-related blog a good idea for newcomers?

What is your impression when the candidate owns a career-related blog (e.g., dev blog - software engineer position)?

I'm not a recruiter, but I can speak to this. My technical blog posts have directly contributed to me getting hired by multiple companies over the years - without me actively directing companies to my blog. They often times would find it when doing their due-diligence on me.
