The secretary problem only applies if you have to reject candidates before you’ve interviewed them all. Specifically it’s formulated as each candidate needs to be either accepted or rejected immediately after their interview.
That situation obviously doesn’t apply if you’re interviewing many candidates on the same day and comparing them to each other. As a result to optimal strategy for the secretary problem also doesn’t apply.
