Within 90 days, you should be able to tell whether a guy can code or not. We hired a guy as a programmer once and put him on the oncall list. The first time he was called, we found out he couldn't code "I'm not really very technical". They moved him to Project Manager. All of that was within 60 days.
I worked with a guy who got cut in 89 days (90 day probation). He was worthless.

We also have that policy. New hires sign a release form indicating they must pass a performance review within 90 days. We dumped this guy.
By the way, we do not perform credit checks on applicants.
