Best person for the job given relevant constraints, obviously. When those are "relatively quickly" and "for the price we want to pay", you still want the very best person for the job.

No you don't! Or else you'd never hire anybody because how can you be sure anyone is the best person for the job?
You want to hire the person in front of you who is good enough to be likely enough to be able to do the job.
It's not "right" or "wrong" - it's just a decision. There may be other choices and other decisions but to paint this one as flat wrong seems, well, wrong.
> They may not have found the very best person for the job
The vast majority of job searches do not have this as a goal!
Most companies want to hire somebody who's good enough relatively quickly for a price they want to pay.
