Isn't it usually vice versa, companies not finding great employees? If you are a good and self-confident is the free trial needed? Don't think so.

  One reasonable scenario is if you have a skillset slightly tangential to the companies core business and you want to prove that they really actually need your skills. For example if you're an awesome OpenCL programmer, but the company doesn't think they have a use for OpenCL, then you could say something like "give me a week, and if I haven't convinced you that your product will be significantly improved using OpenCL then I'll happily walk away and no one has lost anything"

  I like the idea of companies paying me one months salary for free to make me interested in working for them.

    And, in fact, many do (signing bonuses).

      But that is if you sign? I was thinking they would pay me the money as a test, and then I would decide if I would like to work for them or not :-)
