The exact change

Before

"Candidates who have competing offers are demonstrably valuable, someone else has already made the quality judgment. When a candidate tells me they have an offer and a deadline, I almost always try to accelerate. The alternative is losing a candidate we have already invested weeks in evaluating." - Recruiting Manager, technology company

After

Candidates who have competing offers are often viewed as demonstrably valuable, since someone else has already made the quality judgment. When a candidate discloses that they have an offer and a deadline, hiring teams frequently try to accelerate the process, since the alternative is losing a candidate they have already invested weeks in evaluating.
