I know what you're talking about. As someone who had to hire a lot of people it was infuriating that we only got the candidates HR approved.
I so wish that we could hire 5 people for 2 weeks and then retain 1 or 2 of them. You don't learn anything about candidates until you give them your first assignment. I would have jumped at that as an applicant, but maybe just because I was unemployed for a while during the 08 super recession.
