If you have the details providing them will help. What airline? When? Cadets don't count as they're is a different deal. Same might go for 'friends and family' candidates. Frontier and Spirit were big time outliers. Looked like they were hiring 1500-2000 TT pilots perhaps hoping they'd stay once they had 2-3 yrs LOS and were competitive at the majors if the majors ran out of TPIC candidates which they have in the past - more hiring scheduled vs candidates with 1000 or even 500 hrs TPIC.

Granted my information is dated now but speaking with a top floor guy about 1.5 yrs to 2 yrs ago he was very dismissive of SEL TPIC time. It's like logging PIC time - they want real PIC time, not FAA approved to log as PIC time. Same with TPIC time - they don't care for people thinking SEL TPIC is in the same category as MEL TPIC and obviously jet and 121 is another check mark they like.
