Yes, sure. We understand that we have to invest a lot of time in training. Have you ever considered a trial hiring for evaluation of fit with your team? We're thinking of trying it.

I absolutely have. I actually enjoy a contract to hire sort of scenario for a lot of my hiring. I think it works out well.

I took an “internship” at my first dev job at a small place and was converted a few weeks later. It’s a nice way to be able to double check - though won’t work great if they’be got good prospects to give them a more guaranteed offer.
