This is a repost, but we (PagerDuty) are going, I'm hoping to continue getting more interesting candidates than the other teams. Several of my applicants this week have submitted fun code ( http://bit.ly/WmruRy )
I do have to say, that is one of the strongest "apply here" pages I have ever read. Well Done (gender neutral implied) Sirs.
Candidates set up their own booths, and company reps walk around speaking to candidates. This allows candidates to show you more than just hand you a resume and answer a less meaningful 30 second "aptitude" question on the fly.
At their booth, they set up projects they have worked on, websites they have designed, robots they created, machine learning projects, etc... You get to see what the candidates are interested in, ask them interesting questions, and get to see the candidates at (hopefully) their best.
If you're looking for a job, make sure you bring example work you have done, this will allow you to show off your skills and get others excited about your skill set.
