Hiring managers - how many offers do you usually send out for a position (1) you're hiring for? How do you know when a candidate is "the one" to send an offer to?

I do one at a time. It comes down to gut feel and skill for the job.

That basically happened to me. And no, we didn’t give multiple offers at the same time, but we did interview multiple candidates at the same time. I hired contractors in the meantime and shifted workload among the existing team,

Our team generally lays out specific, prioritized hard and soft skills we are looking for then tailor the interviews around those. We use behavioral questions primarily to try and get a real sense of problems each candidate has solved. Once we have someone who meets most of them well we make an offer immediately. Even if we are aggressively looking, we try to to fill a position just because we really need to fill it. A bad fit is much more detrimental to the team than an empty spot. If needed, it’s my job to set expectations on the impact of reduced capacity with stakeholders

This! Stakeholders need to understand that the team isn’t the same for a while. The process takes as long as it takes. Better to wait for the right fit.
