Can’t they just make week 1 in person compulsory?
You can easily dress that up as an onboarding thing and would solve this, no?

But, yes, this will likely change that. In person interviews and onboarding will probably become the norm with fully remote teams as more companies become aware of the risks.
Also there is a good reason not to make week 1 in person. You reduce your access to talent. I know we are in the everyone RTO and do 100hrs a week part of the BSiness cycle. But still.
Many of them would have said no to in-person interviews.
But it does reduce your pool anyway and access to cheaper and /or better people.
… I don't think candidates are going to turn down a company in droves for an initial 1 week onsite. You make it sound like you're losing access to all remotes.
100 people. Working full time. Cannot take leave at last minute (or may not have it to take). Average distance to your office 1000 miles.
How many will come to your on-site.
I mean, airlines do it for pilots. How much of a hit to compensation would that be for software developers? Less than 5% for the first year?
It might work for grads or people out of work if it is well paid e.g. at least pro rata od the target salary. But that's a subset so if the employer chooses this they narrow their pool.
You're misinterpreting the thread. The context here is that the candidate is post-hire (…candidate is perhaps a poor word, but in the context of TFA, it makes more sense), so they're employed by the same company they're visiting.
I.e., the suggestion here is that Person A's employer E flies A out to E's headquarters to work for ~1 week.
Then you meet them in person, and can visually see they're not some fraudster in NK.
I.e., you start in-person, and transition to remote after 1wk.
Yes, but you'll have people making all kinds of excuses and how they only eat from this specific place that delivers on DoorDash and etc etc
(but honestly I think this would be an improvement)
So, if you stretch the period, the employment simply starts later.
