Hiring for a $300K IT sales rep role on my team. Candidate is recommended by another team member and well qualified. Showed up on a Zoom interview with our CRO in a t-shirt and baseball hat.
Help me:
Is this acceptable in todays market? Like, take people as they are and focus on what they can contribute to our business? Who cares about a hat?
—or—
WTF? You’re interviewing with our CRO for a $300K gig – put on a nice shirt and lose the hat. And why should I expect otherwise? Interview process over.
