It’s quite fair. Are you hiring the best candidate or just any candidate? If the former, you make your offer to the best candidate and wait a reasonable time for their response, a week is usually sufficient. If you wish to offer to any candidate, offer to them all and see who accepts, but as you may find out, that’s not actually legal.

But of course you are looking for the best candidate right? If so, waiting for their answer is ultimately the one that serves you best.

companies apparently have no issue rescinding offers, so I wonder whether it is really illegal to give verbal offers to n candidates and then rescind n-1 of them.

Maybe not illegal but seriously crappy and amoral behavior.

Immoral, not amoral.
