Persuading candidates is where it breaks. I don't have time for that, we need to hire now and if we hire someone then for next 2 years we probably won't hire anyone new, and I don't think there is enough people who would like that 4 hours. I also have to pay for ad that will get most CVs It would be much easier if I get someone CV and he writes cover letter explaining that he would like to try such an arrangement. I tried to get part time dev for Kibana/Elastic needs like 4 hours - anyone I approached was not even willing to discuss "why" they just said no. People also don't have time to listen to your persuasion, most of the time it is clear cut and goodbye.
