In theory I would prefer the trial arrangement, but in practice, if I'm employed, it's not an option unless I'm totally and absolutely convinced that you run the perfect company for me.
Which you probably do not.
If I'm unemployed and searching for a job (which sometimes happens: I like to take 6 month long holidays between leaving an old job and starting a new one), then I think it's a fantastic idea. Provided it is paid.

If you're employed and seeking employment elsewhere, for whatever reason, why would you even waste your time interviewing with a company that you didn't think had the potential to be a very good fit?
- crdoconnor 13y agoI wouldn't of course. But doing 3 day long interviews means 1/4 of my holiday for the year is gone. On ONE company. Who may not even want to hire me. 3 more of those and I don't get to see a beach until 2015.
