Check ride for a job after months of not flying

Hello everyone,

This is just a question that has been lingering in my mind and just out of curiosity i'd just like to ask anyone who's knowledgeable in this.

Basically how would it work should you be invited for a check ride for a job on a single engine plane e.g. 208b caravan. Is it the norm for companies to assess you via a check ride on the very first flight? how would it work should they invite a person who has not flown in months or a year? do they expect them to perform at their best on the check/first flight despite the rustiness?

Or is it more of the norm for operators to provide training on the given aircraft, 20-30h before the actual check ride which they would be examined on, in some cases ive seen that they would ask for a bond/deposit for the flight hours.

I'm asking because what if there are no training providers for the specific aircraft used for the company's operations. Would be interested to know your responses.
