This is harder to do because most Codesmith graduates do not put "Codesmith" on their LinkedIn profiles.

It's not as hard as it seems yeah and there are a number of ways, some easier than others.
The OSPs for example,.you can monitor their repos and make a list of everyone contributing when and very easily identify every single person.
There are also other sources that are harder to explain and not as obvious.
You still can't confirm placements themselves but you could analyze how people represent themselves on LinkedIn.
I did this and have a draft analysis I'll post when ready, the summary is that the average placed grad in the past 2idh months claimed almost 12 months of work experience at their 3.week long group project :(
