There's usually a 1-3 month period where any party can pull out of the contract I'm potentially not translating it correctly
no that's not how it works. Once you sign, the company rejects all the other candidates and close out the pipeline. The candidate will also say no to the other potential offers/companies. As such, it would be super expensive to renege there. If a candidate sign, it's with the intention of both the company and the candidate to succeed.
