Interesting, have you had success with this approach? I might imagine there could be some stigma associated with this since why waste time if there's no guarantee of full time employment?

In California, it is at will employment anyway but I get the feeling that contractors are easier to fire than employees. Correct me if I am wrong.

On the other hand, candidates who are actually good will do very well and get through without any problems. I feel like it would take at least 2 to 3 weeks to find red flags, then at least 3 months to determine if someone is a superstar, and at least 6 months for everyone else to shine through.
