if a company gets 86 applicants instead of 100, that's less screening work which means less $ spent for the hire.

Using this logic, then just hire the first person who applies and you will minimize all cost. Screening is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of making a bad hire, and the quality of the final candidates requires you have enough candidates to make a good selection from.
