The term "satisfices" refers to making a decision that is satisfactory or "good enough" rather than trying to find the ideal or perfect solution. This is a common approach in situations where there are multiple factors to consider and trade-offs must be made. Therefore, in this scenario, Tom is likely to be satisficing by choosing a candidate who meets the minimum job qualifications and is considered acceptable for the role.
