I'm sure most businesses would love that situation, but for employees it would require you quit your current job, but have a good chance of being fired after a month at your new job. I imagine young employees would be happy (I did a bunch of short-term contracts myself), but once you have a mortgage and kids, it's nice to be a little more certain about your new job, before quitting your old one.

And just to make this really explicit - this means that a company with this hiring practice would have a very hard time hiring experienced competent engineers. If I were looking for a job, I'd have lots of options, and I would not waste time on a company that demanded this.
