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.

Any place you want to work won't have "hiring managers" making those decisions -- they'll have peers. And your peers, of course, will consider orange hair a plus.

That's an interesting perspective.

I think of "hiring manager" as a role, not a whole-job description. Perhaps that accounts for my confusion.
