Staffing analogy… I want new hardwood floors put in my house. I go to a floor company and after some back and forth on type of floor, color, price, and installation time, we finally agree on what I’m getting. They come over and it takes 4 people all day to remove the old floor and install the new floor. I tell them I love it and it’s exactly what I asked them for… but would like to see 3-4 more options, so ask them to do it over again. How do you think they would reply? #staffing #hiring #theresnojobsoutthereunlessyouwanttowork40hoursaweek

Well said John! I learned a lesson from Mark Cuban watching shark tank were he made an offer to a contestant and the contestant tried to shop the offer to the rest of the panel. Mark responded quickly by pulling his offer after the contestant shopped it around, and the contestant was left with nothing. I use the term "window shopping". To your point, there's no need to "window shop" for other options. Have a plan going in, take the deal (or candidate in this case), make the move and dont look back!
