I would never interview with a company with a corporate culture like this, and neither would most of the hackers I've worked with. While I prefer to work with great people...
1. Not being at the bottom of the barrel, I have alternatives. Why would I leave a situation for one known for hiring just about anyone and spitting them out at heavy rates? There's a name for those types of gigs: contracting jobs, and they pay for the risk.
2. The corporate culture developed through such a system must be awful. Why start making acquaintanceship with a new co-worker when even odds say they'll be gone in a few months?
3. It makes for lazy management. Sometimes, the problem is the process doesn't fit the problem. But why go through that when you can just fire them?
Finally, this could only work in the major tech hubs. I'm a friend of a friend away from most non-DOD projects in my area, and that's not terribly uncommon. Unless you're hiring straight from university, you're probably going to have a difficult time filling positions fairly soon.
