Interesting, and I'm not saying this doesn't work, but doesn't that basically imply you only hire those who are already unemployed?

Employed people would probably take a week of vacation unless they have FU money.

It'd have to be a dream job for me to take a week of vacation time to do a trial run with another company but then I'm married and have a kid so time off is very important to me.

The other issue for the employed in that scenario is that their employment contracts may prohibit moonlighting/contracting or have a non compete that would interfere with the trail/interview process.
