“I'm curious to know how long it took you to interview 35 people in one day.”
@MapulaMokgosang said:
“Leave Mokopane out of it, you were devastated by your chosen candidates.”
@MasingitaPri reacted:
“Dress code is very important to any job interview, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”
@leftoff_7 said:
“You want me to buy a suit for a job that I’m not sure of?”
@RayMaboya said:
“My experience tells me that one cannot interview 35 management candidates, and therefore this was not a management post. Now, it's clear that HR is not improving in SA. We are long past the era of appearance when looking for talent. Why was the interview not remote even???”

"I just want recruiters to actually stop tweeting."
