Extending An Offer on Friday?

I want to dig into this article more, but one point really jumped out at me:

[this] has led us recently to a new policy of not extending offers on Fridays. The extra time over the weekend leads to unnecessary complications as friends, relatives, and neighbors weigh in on the details and give what amounts to bad advice.

Incredible comment and incredible thoughts.  There ar, of course, two sides to this opinion, but I am weighing on the side which limits the amount of time to let other people chime in on a candidate's decision.

Yes, spouse/significant other should be involved (duh) but they'll be involved even if its Wednesday morning.

In my branch, thanks to training by my sister company Devon and Devon Executive Recruiters, I do a considerable amount of exploration and prep work with the candidate before an offer is possible.

I don't personally like "fisherman" who constantly test the waters to see if there's a bigger fish out there.  Those candidates don't do well for my clients, hence don't do well for me.  Corporate Philandering is not appreciated in my book.

In my opinion, by the time an interview occurs, my candidate better be ready to ship out if the opportunity is right.  The shaping up period is over.
