I dunno, some-one who started 2 days ago may take just as long, or longer, to find their next employer as some-one with years of employment/experience.

If you've just started a job you've probably got an up to date CV, perhaps even some other job offers you turned down.

I’m not sure. The market is still pretty rough.

Then again I’m only speaking from my experience. Fewer companies are interested in interviewing and hiring me than ever in my career right now. If I had a job, I wouldn’t be leaving it.

Maybe other people are having an easier time. I hope so!

But they have a job, they're not being compensated for being let go, they're being compensated for voluntarily leaving.

Usually the only thing that can be done during job verification is:

- did they work there?

- can they be rehired?

If the second is a "no" it usually isn't good news (usually, that only happens when you're fired 'for cause', at least in the US).

So, it isn't as pretty as an offer as you'd think.

If somebody started mere days ago, they can simply omit this job from their CV entirely and nobody would notice the gap.
