Hello, can someone answer this for me? Thanks.

Question

I have an offer but I did not take it and asked for a couple of days to think about it, during this period, will they hire someone else?

Answer 1

Usually, if they agree to wait for a few days, they will wait - however, they are not required to wait.

Answer 2

If they allow you to think, that means that they will wait until the deadline period for you to answer.

Answer 3

No, if they said OK when you asked for a couple days, then they'll wait.  But if they don't hear from you in the time you specified, then they might hire someone else.

Answer 4

They can.  If they had another interview or employee in mind they could offer them the same job and if that person accepted then when (and if) you call to accept they will tell you the job is no longer available
