I really like the idea of #2. I've never actually seen this done before but it seems like micro-internships (1 month) would be invaluable. Bring the candidate onboard for 1 month and start paying them their real salary. At the end of 1 month it should be clear whether they are a good fit for your team or not.
- andrewingram 8y agoWhat you're proposing is basically the same as a notice period (at least in the UK), and neglects that it's still high risk for the candidate. To be able to come in and work for a month they have to leave their existing job. I'd have to be pretty damn sure I'd have no difficulty passing my probation in order to risk being out of work.
- umvi 8y agoIt's high risk for currently employed candidates, yes. I hadn't considered that mainly because my company's main source of candidates is unemployed college graduates.
