Also, don't you think that the technical competence of a candidate is just a fraction of the elements required to work in a company? What if the guy is a complete toxic worker or dishonest etc. etc. It is not that difficult to pass a technical interview, after all.

I think that two weeks are a good time-frame to evaluate a mutual "love" and would also help better understand the soft-skill and how well the candidate fits in the company.

Yeah there'll still be a probationary period in case someone's toxic. But being inadequately skilled is a deal-breaker and something you can go some way to filtering for before you offer someone a job.
