I have a friend who's close to DHH. He claims that Basecamp has a very very very selective recruiting process. To the point where finding talent is extremely difficult. I suspect their litmus for excellence is the real reason their seemingly "guardrail-free culture" works as well as it does, not the other way around.

Is there any insight publicly available regarding their hiring processes? I am interested in successful small software companies practices in particular, not google/facebook/et al, scale.
