Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (October 2011)
Training is expensive and time consuming for the team as a whole. "Trying someone out" is usually not efficient.

You can try someone out before you invest in them. Its called internships/probationary period. Lots of companies do it.

To "try them out" you have to teach them enough about your process and code base to be useful. That still can take significant amounts of time. The primary investment isn't money, it's time.
