A recruiter postpones a small correction request in an offer letter until Monday.

By then,
the candidate has already joined another organization.

They simply responded faster.

Part of the storytelling series by Fail-Safe Hiring exploring:
work,
leadership,
ownership,
recruitment,
and professional discipline.
