Let's say you're the hiring manager for a non-customer-facing technical position, and your workplace is somewhat laid back, but not quite foosball tables in the bathrooms laid back. Further, let's say you interview someone for a position and they basically knock your socks off on the phone, but when they come in for an in-person interview, despite knocking even more socks, they turn out to have BRIGHT ORANGE HAIR.

I know what I'm going to do, but I'm curious what other people think I should do.

I think I would hire the person. On the other hand, there might be workplace policies against bright orange hair, and I might let them know that when I offered them the job, especially if I could not influence those policies at all.

I've never worked at a tech place with a hair color policy before.

Talking to moominmolly elsewhere I commented that I would generally prefer the interviewee to be wearing clothes, but one of my techie husband's coworkers at a former company seldom did.
