The hiring process everywhere is a disaster, as far I've seen. Interviews don't really work. If companies operated by giving people a few-week chance to prove themselves they'd be able to give more people more opportunities and have a much better idea of who was worth keeping. But of course, with the current system if you get fired after two weeks you're looking at trying to get hired at a bunch of other companies that are going to view that as a Bad Thing and are going to try to get as much info from a few interviews before they jump into bed with you for years. We're in a bad equilibrium.
