I was applying for a job once and recruiter told me I need to have at least 100 Facebook friends to be hired. Played Mafia for a couple of days and got 400 "friends". Was hired and HR presented me at the company meeting as a social media star)

This sounds made up.

I’m not saying it is, just that it’s so bizarre, it’s literally unbelievable.

Like something The Onion would write.

That's true and happened in 2011. Social media was AI of the day.

If I'd been talking to that recruiter I would have politely declined to continue the interview process. Unless the job itself was directly related to interacting with people on Facebook, the number of Facebook "friends" you have has nothing to do with your ability to do the job.
