I like the board layout and how you pull the social info. But I don't understand focusing on "technical interviews" - that's just illogical to me. A typical 100+ person company's technical interviews happen much less frequently than their non-technical interviews, don't they? Maybe that's not clear - in other words, for your typical company that has technical employees, don't those same companies also need to hire non-technical employees as well? Of course they do. So... if I, the hiring person, use your tool for the technical interviews, what tool do I use for the non-technical interviews? If the answer is, "Uhhhh..." or "A different site", then that's it - I won't use you. I don't want to have to use multiple sites/tools during hiring; I want to either use one site or no sites.
Here's an idea - maybe you open up the board layout/social part for all interviewees, and make the coding/testing aspects an in-site purchase/option? I don't know - it's your business and all - but it seems to me that people will pay a premium for those extra features:
I think this is a good point and something I've thought about a little bit. My thought was most of the basic features such as scheduling and applicant management would carry over to other non-technical roles. I do need to learn a lot more hiring for sales, marketing, etc. to know if there are any special needs from those types of teams.
Having the developer specific stuff an additional purchase option is an interesting idea I hadn't thought of. Thanks again for the feedback.

* Coding tests
* Intelligence testing
* Custom Q&A with grading (like @staunch said)
