I mean don’t most places have a 30 day trial period or something built in? Seems like minimal risk to me.

  Hiring someone is extremely expensive and a massive time sink.

    Is it though? I tend to let people go pretty quickly if they don’t work out. But I’ve found some real gems because I’ve taken a chance on someone in the past. How do you quantify the cost of missing out on good people that you just assumed didn’t fit the mold? How expensive is that?

      > How do you quantify the cost of missing out on good people that you just assumed didn’t fit the mold? How expensive is that? That is a cost that isn't easily quantifiable. However, the cost of wrong hires is easily quantifiable based on the time effort required to (attempt) to get a new hire going. Considering that most companies are looking to minimize risk and the potential benefit is not quantifiable I would estimate the chances to skip the interviewing process as minimal.
