I like that model your company is using. Though there is a major drawback: your sapping the momentum of your candidates in their job search. If they sign on for the 2 month trial and it doesn't work out, contacts in their job search will have moved on, and they'll effectively have to start over from the beginning. Ultimately, a contract-to-hire strategy overwhelmingly favors the employer's interest.

Interesting, I hadn't thought about it that way. I always prefer a month or two trial run before I commit to joining a company for the long term. I just can't tell enough in a few hours of interviewing whether I'll enjoy working with the people or not. And also you rarely get to meet all your future co-workers in the interview. But then, this has always worked out well for me. I could see it being worse and/or disruptive if it led to a situation of doing one or two month contracts for a really long time.
