Subject: Check,please!

The new window company WILL BE HIRING a lot of workers, WON'T THEY?
That's right. DON'T you see the ad in the classifieds today?
Yes, and I already have an appointment for an interview.
I DO, TOO.

The task here is to find ONE mistake. It should be " Didn't you see the a...?" Right?

The question is: Why do they choose to use "they" in the tag question( WON'T THEY) but not "it"

Thanks!

См. учебник грамматики - в ряде случаев "company", "family", еtc. воспринимается как "they": "сотрудники компании", "члены семьи".
