Hello, very good experience that you share, I consider that you did the right thing, because the boy will decide for the work place where apart from having the best salary he has the best work environment, that is to say that if he decides to stay with you it is an indicator that the boy has a lot of affinity with your company.
See you later, may success continue in your company!
