In addition to accepting or rejecting a candidate arriving at time r, we may consider purchasing an option at a cost cx to recall the candidate at time \(r+x\), but this privilege may be invoked only once. For large sample size, using the best-choice criterion and deducing option costs, the optimal strategy and return are obtained.
