Because we are hiring out from a pool based on potential, its quite hard 
to really measure capabilities over a short period of time. If we do 
that, it becomes a case of the relationships they form within the peer 
group rather than the actual work being done.

One thing that could happen is a 3 month probation leading upto a 9 
month articleship leading upto a full time job. Will need to workout 
exactly what and how that would work, but its an option for sure. I 
guess call it a 12 month probation would be a good way to scare away 
potential candidates.
