And they brought him in and liked him. They wanted to make him an offer. So DH was right; the kid is a winner.  Whether or not he takes the job is irrelevant.  DH put forward a viable and qualified candidate. That's his part in this...not making sure the kid takes the job. [/quote]

But DH did what he did because the young man told him that he wanted the job and now he is backing out. Either that or OP's DH totally mis-read young man's intention from the beginning. [/quote]

I don't know about you, but I've definitely applied for jobs thinking that they look great on paper, but when I get there and meet the people, I realize it's a total sh*tshow and not a fit.  I withdraw from the process. You don't know at the beginning if it's a fit. You're making a decision about them like they're making a decision about you. [/quote]

NP. The young man said his reason was financial, not due to a bad fit. He knew the salary going into the process, if it wasn't enough he could have withdrawn then.

Sometimes I've said the reason is financial because I don't want to call them a**hats to their faces.  [/quote]

So you can read his mind now? [/quote]

Just offering a possibility, dude.  Honestly, I think it's incredibly strange that the recruiter would offer OP's DH details about what the job applicant's wife is thinking.  Like, the decision to turn down the job goes from the job applicant's wife, to the job applicant, to the recruiter, to DH, to DH's wife who then posts on DCUM.  I doubt all of the details are reliably recalled in this game of telephone.  [/quote]
