That's amazing! For everybody else that shares my amazement, I found https://www.compose.com/articles/how-compose-uses-interviewe... that touches on said hiring practice, but I'd love to hear more.

Just out of curiosity, how many people applied vs. made it through the blind work-sample vs. the work day? I think this is a great system, but I'm not sure I could keep a team of engineers actively engaged in answering infrastructure questions while at the same time trying to get their own work done. Was that an issue?
During the work day, you'd join is in Slack for 8 hours. You'd need to ask probing questions to mock-up our infrastructure and pitch a feature based on "how we work".
One could try to cheat on the first part, but there is no chance one could have bamboozled us during the work day.
For our technical writing positions we had some instances of outright plagiarism, but no instances of anyone trying to cheat the coding sample.
