And so that self-selects for people who already are unemployed then, right? Most developers I know (including myself) look for a new job while still having a job, as to not create a financial hole in-between. I'd be curious if that doesn't then end up with lower quality candidates who ended up unemployed to begin with? | |||||||||||||||||

And, additionally, it encourages your candidates to still be interviewing while they're on their probationary period with you, since they may be back to unemployed after 4 weeks or whatever. Which creates even more potential issues if they get a much better offer while they're onboarding with you. | |||||||||||||||||

> self-selects for people who already are unemployed then You can say that about all forms of hiring process. If you're unemployed, you obviously have more time: to spend more time on the take-home assignments (which I hate, see another thread [1]), to add more stuff to your GitHub profile, to go to more interviews, etc. | |||||||||||||||||
