In the context of team recruitment, we discuss an optimal multiple stopping problem for an infinite independent and identically distributed sequence, with general reward function and constant observation cost. We establish the existence and nature of an optimal stopping rule. For the particular case where team quality is governed by the fitness of the weakest member, we show that the recruiter should be more discriminating with either a better, or a larger, group of appointees in hand.
