"Crosby, a startup that offers basic legal services to other startups, is one of many employers that are leaning into 'work trials,' or short-term recruitment assessments where a candidate performs real job tasks."
"Daniels sought to interview candidates thoroughly, but didn't want to disrupt their schedules with mid-week, on-site auditions. He realized that these interviews were forcing candidates to choose between their current jobs and a shot at Crosby."
"For software engineer positions, for example, Crosby may drop a candidate into a live project so the team can assess their coding and AI skills in practice."
"Executives have more uninterrupted time on Sunday to probe how candidates think, communicate and solve problems, Daniels explained."
Crosby, a legal services startup, implemented multi-hour work trials on Sundays to assess candidates without disrupting their current jobs. This approach allows candidates to engage in real work tasks, alleviating the pressure of using vacation days for interviews. Many candidates expressed relief at the opportunity to interview on Sundays, as it provided a chance to showcase their skills without jeopardizing their current employment. The trials include practical assessments for various roles, enabling thorough evaluations by the executive team.
