Someone always suggests this. The issue is that if you did this, 95% of the candidates that would agree to this kind of setup would be the kind you didn't want.

If I'm sitting on 2 offers, one is a hire and one is a "Let's see how this works out after 2 weeks of work", I'm going to take the first one. And that says nothing for the necessary benefits question in the states, where changing jobs often involves expensive (in money or time) changes to health care insurance.
- grugagag 6y agoWe don't know for sure and it's hard to know how this works. What's obvious is that the current system is broken and we need a replacement of some sort. Being able to try a company and see whether they like me and whether I like them and the type of projects I am supposed to work would be a major factor in finding the right marriage. We take jobs for the salary tag and quite often we do whatever we have to do to continue getting that nice paycheck but we're not happy with the work we do.
- Afton 6y agoFor sure, it's an empirical question what %age of people who would accept this kind of offer are "I have no other choice, so I accept your offer" or "I want to make sure I will actually want to work at your company". I'm just saying that I would 100% not do this unless I had no other choice, or was independently wealthy.
