It&#x27;s really a matter of defaults. If you hire someone full-time and they&#x27;re even just more or less average in their role (to your way of thinking), you&#x27;re probably not going to fire them after 3 months just because they&#x27;re not the very best hire who has come down the road in the last year. On the other hand, if you offer someone a 3-month try-out and they&#x27;re &quot;just&quot; solidly competent but they don&#x27;t really wow you, you may well decide not to extend a full-time position.
