In numerous instances some candidates were interviewed because they appeared to have “potential” rather than a proven track record or the required qualifications. Any salary offer reflected that shortfall and risk.

What risk??? Been pretty customary for a 90 day tryout period...Surely someone knows if the employee is satisfactory in 3 months...

Customary where? Not in my management consulting business in Massachusetts. The notion of a trial period makes sense, but candidates who have to relocate would not stand for it.
