Unfortunately this only works for interns and new grads. Nobody experienced want to take a job on an experimental basis.

- godelski 2y agoFortunately people with experience have resumes and are easier to tell if they're bsing their resume. Fuck man, people do this with engineers who work on classified projects. You all are over thinking it. You're trying to hyper optimize for a function that is incredibly noisy and does not have optimal solutions.

- CogitoCogito 2y agoYes and such a system makes hiring so much easier because mistakes cost much less. But the US ties things like healthcare to employment so a company that has a reputation for firing people after hiring them (however legitimate) would probably be one people would avoid. In Sweden, for example, I’ve found interviews so much more reasonable. Then again, I had healthcare there regardless of employment.
- OJFord 2y agoOh, I see. I'm in the UK, so more like Sweden; no experience of having healthcare tied to employment (other than optional private healthcare as a perk).
