We took eight students after attending a recruiting event and invited them to work on a cycling program. From the eight, we hired four. We cycled the students through four of Conde Nast's brands/responsibilities. Currently, we have junior developers from this program working on GQ magazine, Glamour, an…

>Our experience was good. We wouldn't do it again. If the experience was good, why not?
If we are hiring for single spots, we need experienced developers.

shameless plug: we're hiring in SF for ruby/scala/angular, email me if interested.
I haven't hired from them but I bet they have a high hire rate because they have connections. The people who run the program are likely well connected with companies and can find positions for the students. I've seen this with university programs. I know someone who studied a non-computer related bachelors degree. He followed it up with a 1 year masters in software developer (no experience in software before this) an…

I've had some experience with bootcamp grads over the past couple years, as they have applied to jobs I had posted (I recruit engineers). Based on my experience, the bootcamps seem to do a good job of building confidence in their grads, although that might be a trait of people who go to bootcamps (those confident that they can change careers in 10 weeks).
I believe there was also a trend of some bootcamps to hire their own grads in some capacity, which could skew the numbers a bit.
