The answer

It is permissible to apply kohl to conceal baldness, as it is a permissible adornment, and there is no need to inform the employer about it.

As for the suitor: - If the baldness is slight and common, there is no need to disclose it. - If the baldness is complete and might cause aversion or affect the woman's decision to marry, then it is not permissible to conceal it. - Hair transplantation is permissible to remove this defect.
