Or they might be more inclined to take offence. Intimidation is likely to count as a clear social slight and trigger the hostile reaction from Selfish, unless it is done with a lot of finesse or a way for the target to save face.

At least Social Regard: Feared doesn't require making a threat to trigger Selfish, I think simply being scary would be far more accepted or natural than directly threatening prospective employees.
