Well, I hate to say it and it seems kind of callous but, there is a reason for having a trial period with an employee.

Perhaps the trick is to have an extended set of tasks for that employee that will tell you what you need to know to keep that employee or not.

Sometimes there is just no place for being kind or generous. I have met people with CS degrees who could not keep a programming job for more than 3 months because they just didn't have it in them. It's expensive, but if you want quality, it's what needs to be done.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
