Think Generative AI! This crazily pumps out stellar applications that don't look like they were churned out by a factory.

The shorts-to-interview debate that's got everyone's knickers in a twist. 🩳👔 The guy got sent out of the interview for wearing shorts. A few recruiters online agree to this treatment, while some don’t.
Here’s what we think:
While a minor fashion faux pas, such as wearing shorts to an interview, shouldn't be a deal-breaker, it's essential to consider the company culture and the specific job requirements.
To handle this situation effectively, recruiters should:
Communicate clear dress code expectations to candidates before the interview.
Be flexible and consider the context of the role and the candidate's background.
Prioritize qualifications over attire.
🤯 Modern workplaces also embrace a more relaxed dress code.
