Sure - but are these clue tells likely to come up in what the interviewee considers a chance encounter - riding in a taxi - to a job interview (thus probably dressed in an uniform way), when their mind is likely on other things?

Also, wouldn't the taxi driver also have to know about these clues?

With all respect, I think the scenario "Taxi driver planted/used as an interview prescreen is openly anti-gay and sniffs them out." is a bit contrived.

The "homophobic taxi driver" idea is meant as a representative suggestion of the possibility that the taxi driver may be making judgments in a way that the company doesn't want. That's not to say homophobia is the only or most likely way this could manifest, it's just an illustration.
