I work in HR in the UAE, and I see this happen all the time. Good candidates come for interviews but can't speak English well. They get nervous and can't show their real skills.
The funny thing is - many of these people become our best workers later. But we also hire people who speak great English in interviews, then they don't do well at work.
Yes, communication is important for most jobs. But we're in the UAE - people come from everywhere. Just because someone has an accent or takes time to think doesn't mean they're not good at their job.
I think we need to look deeper. Real skills matter more than perfect English in an interview.
