In my company it is 1 and we will outcompete companies that choose 2. I assume in other industries companies will pick 2 and that will lead them to outcompete companies that pick 1. I don't think it is as simple as one answer to this question.
Interesting that you post it now. I'm on the other side of recruitment and this week I retracted the first offer in the 3-4 years I've been at the company.
My retracted offer was because new information came up regarding their management/communication style. We weren't confident it would work out and it relt reckless to pull them out of their role. We were subsequently keener on a couple of other candidates that we had rejected.
It took me about 2 hours to write the retraction email. I responded to a feedback request email that took about 6 hours of combined time going back and forth with hiring managers. That time was mainly spent in my evening, so I could foucus uninterrupted. The management wanted to present things nicely and I wanted to be more direct with the feedback, so it was actionable. Eventually we created something that we were all happy with.
My experience is that it is a pretty rough on all sides. No one wants to get to that stage and retract and offer. I don't think it is common.
I think it is better that they made the decision now, rather than wait until you joined and they make the decision in 3 months or so. It seems a little odd that they advertised in their condition, but I guess there has to be a threshold/cut off at some point.
It's a good test. I'm interested to see what ones make it. With out me editing the code.
EDIT: It picked up 13!
EDIT: Northampton self-corrected to Southampton. Not sure how I feel about that. I'll have to test it when Ipswich, Southampton and Northampton are in the EPL.
