“Don’t tell people they aren’t good enough to work at your company” is not Hollywood film stuff. It’s the basics of being a normal person and well well below the basics of professional behavior.

If it wasn’t a recurring behavior the appropriate response is for their manager to document it as unacceptable with the person.
