I think this actually works in their favor. If a candidate invests a week into you, they can only match that commitment a few times with other companies, and they might not actually get offers everywhere. Then you don't have to negotiate offers as hard, and they are more likely to accept your offer.

If candidates can get an offer after only a half day, they may as well have a dozen options, and you only have a 1/N chance of getting picked.

So your premise is that a company should draw out their interviewing process so that the top 60% of candidates will accept offers elsewhere and they can lowball the 40% that stick it out? And you justify this because they would only have a 10% chance of landing any of the good candidates?

Let me guess, are you an actual hiring manager?
