I suspect the problem stems from the fact that big businesses want to hire people on their own, and most of the time they don't need extra people. The government can't order them to hire people, so instead they offer them free labour if they'll consider hiring some of them at the end of the trial period. No company in their right minds would turn down free labour, but of course they are then not obligated to hire them either.
One possible solution would be for the government to track the amount of free labour given against the hire rate of those people. For instance, if a company continually refuses to hire people at the end of their trial, then that company should lose out on further free labour. Whereas companies that hire a good proportion of the free labour at the end of their trial will be granted extra free labour.
What are your qualifications btw? I know that's a rather person question, but I'm just interested if I can help you find a job. Feel free to PM me if you need to; I'm very good at rewriting people's CV's so they look epic. Exhibit A: http://adrianhayter.com/documents/cv.pdf
