"Bootcamp Grads" is a pretty broad phrase; we might want to start using more precise language. An grad from an 8-week bootcamp will have a different skill set than someone who spent 18, 48, 72 weeks in a bootcamp program.

Also, Thoughtbot has a somewhat good guide to running an apprenticeship: https://github.com/thoughtbot/apprenticeship

It could be adapted without much work to hiring bootcamp grads.

Just counting the number of weeks is pretty misleading too. Some schools are only 9am to 4pm or even just evenings five days a week. Others, such as Hack Reactor are 11+ hours per day, six days a week.
Hmmm.... If you're doing 48 or 72(!) weeks, I wouldn't call it a bootcamp so much as an unaccredited master's program...
