That number might be low enough that there is no need to emphasize the probation period to candidates. If 20% of candidates are getting cut after the probation

If 20% of candidates are getting cut after the probation, I’m very hesitant.
Losing 5% quickly is only slightly above normal and may, in fact, be a positive sign of quality control.
- freddie_mercury 4y agoThe poster is in Australia which has a different set of employment practices than America. Every company in Australia talks about the probation period. During probation it is basically like America at-will employment. After probation it is harder to get rid of staff with legal standards on dismissal periods, redundancy pay, and so on. They can take you the Fair Work Commission for an unfair dismissal claim so companies have have processes in place to make sure they don't face that risk, which includes things like written warnings for underperformance, setting clear expectations, and giving the employee a chance to correct underperformance. Managers in Australia much prefer to rid of underperformers during probation.
