I typically recommend this in my line of work, especially for occupations that are non-abundant in the relevant labor markets. Hiring can be expensive if only for the time spent looking for that perfect candidate which ultimately appears only marginally more qualified, and vacant positions carry a cost themselves.

Add on to that the fact that most employers use selection techniques with relatively low validities (e.g., interviews, particularly unstructured) and that validity degrades over time anyway (i.e., performance between someone predicted as "good" vs. "mediocre" is much more noticeable early in the employment relationship than it is six months or a year later).
