#4How are people supposed to do this unless they are unemployed?
Don't probation periods already exist?

#5Been asked before. Said no immediately. Got the job.
If they ask that means you are good enough for the job.

Perhaps take some time off from current job?

#7If I were unemployed, probably. If I were employed, absolutely not: I'm not going to violate my employment contract nor risk vacation time. Also, top performers are rarely unemployed.

#10If this is your idea: This is a weird, bad deal for the applicant. Only desperate people will put up with the hassle and the insult. I predict you will be shocked when these desperate candidates are not as good as you wanted. Please do not take advantage of vulnerability any more than the world already is.
If someone’s suggesting it to you: You deserve better.
