>This will make hiring much harder and increase 5 rounds to like 10
Not sure if I agree with this...
Is hiring in European countries with stronger labor laws harder? AFAIK the number of rounds is the same.
In European countries they have the concept of probation period to protect against an employee who isn't the right fit. We do as well in America, it's just called "at-will employment", so it's pretty much your entire tenure.
Different on a country-by-country basis but generally not really. For example, it's pretty common to have a 6 month probation period in Germany where both the employee and employer can quit/let go at any time with a 2 week notice period.
You can negotiate that clause away. An employer that wants at-will employment periods should pay US wages or at least contractor rates for those periods.
It's not. You can always fire someone who doesn't do their job. It's slightly harder to fire someone for having the wrong haircut. You can always try constructive dismissal, the penalties are peanuts. Or buy out their permanent contract, it's pretty cheap like an American sign-on bonus.
