Might be but if you aren't willing to let them hear their other offers and negotiate you probably aren't willing to hire the best people.

I’m, I just not willing to wait for them. It also tells me that they are not interested in the company, and the best people both good and interested. And yes, it saves money (both hiring and motivated folks produce more) - no surprise here

Fun fact, that when I’m looking for a job I will be arguing like you.
