Great post, are you willing to share more about how you conduct the SuperDay from a tools and technology point of view? We're a small Rails agency and we've wanted to do a similar step in our hiring process, but we've struggled with how to allow a non-employee to work on source code they should only have limited access to. Do you require SuperDay candidates to sign an NDA, and then force them to delete source code on their machines afterwards?

Thanks! We love what you guys do and how you blog about it.

Excellent post, definitely in line with a lot of what I've learned and read about within organizational design, however I feel the need to disagree a bit with #6. There are a lot of incredibly talented people who are not always in demand, due to the systems and norms that prevent those people from being visible. I think about my own experience as someone who is not particularly good at networking or perhaps someone who may not be particularly good at the standard interview practices, but who would absolutely excel in their particular role or within the right culture.
