I think you need to be careful with how you treat people. I would keep it simple. Most people I know tell the guy come in and give it a try for the day. I would keep a back up plan if that guy can't perform the work. I used to love it when we would get a new guy in. It was like Christmas morning seeing them at the shop when I arrived.
It's fun to play with them a little before you get out there and let them brag it up and tell you stories of how great they are. I let them think I am pretty clueless. Then when you get out there just run circles around them. It sure is fun to humble them. They almost never seem to work out or make past the first day. I had one guy ask if he could do it tomorrow once. Had another last aobut 20 minutes before saying he didn't sign up for all this and walk off.
Who wants to come work with me? No tests here.
