The manager in this scenario is only considering candidates from State U due to budget constraints, which limits the pool of potential candidates. The direction to hire the best candidate that interviews during the campus visit day also suggests that the manager is willing to settle for a good enough candidate rather than investing more time and resources in finding the absolute best candidate. This aligns with the concept of satisficing, which means making decisions that are satisfactory or good enough rather than seeking the optimal solution.
