This maps extraordinarily closely with what we've seen at Thinkful (http://www.thinkful.com/) with both our hiring as a team and with the students we've helped get hired.
Our biggest breakthrough actually came last month when we started simply hiring our students. Three of our last five hires have come from people taking one of our classes.
It's a phenomenal way to get the voice of the user into our user experience, and each has proven a great cultural fit.
We're not sure it'll work for every position, but perhaps when Thinkful starts offering CTO-classes!
