Optional: Trial Period Implementation

If you’re uncertain about a candidate’s fit, implement a 2-week paid trial period to assess performance before committing to long-term engagement.

• • • • Payment Structure: Compensate the candidate by the hour to ensure fairness and flexibility, allowing you to evaluate productivity without full contractual obligation.
      • Week 1 – Orientation & Basic Tasks: Assign foundational tasks under close supervision with daily feedback to gauge responsiveness, learning curve, and adherence to instructions.
      • Week 2 – Advanced & Independent Tasks: Gradually introduce more complex responsibilities with reduced oversight to test autonomy, initiative, and problem-solving.

Success Metrics:

• • • • ≥90% task completion accuracy
      • ≤4-hour average response time
      • Consistent adherence to quality standards and communication expectations

Advantages:

• • • • Reduces hiring risk by validating real-world performance before full onboarding
      • Provides both employer and candidate an opportunity to confirm mutual compatibility
      • Encourages accountability and sets clear expectations from the outset
      • Builds trust through transparent, merit-based evaluation
