Deepinder GoyalA day after his controversial job posting for Chief of Staff, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal has revealed that his posting has received more than 18,000 applications.
We have closed applications for my chief of staff role. We have received more than 18,000 applications Goyal said.
In a surprising revelation Goyal shared private messages showing that the fee was never meant to be collected. "Between you and me we will not eventually ask for 20 lacs and pay the right person anyway," he wrote
The controversial job posting which initially stated that candidates would have to pay Rs 20 lakh and work without salary for a year drew criticism from industry leaders including industrialist Harsh Goenka who called it "potentially exploitative
As some people pointed out the 'you have to pay us 20 lacs' was merely a filter to find people who had the power to appreciate the opportunity of a fast track career.
The company plans to reject most applications focused on money. "We are going to find genuine intent and learning mindset from the sea of applications we have received," Goyal said.
In his update Goyal stressed that this was a one-time experiment. "Something like this can only be pulled off once in the world," he wrote adding: "I really hope that 'pay the company to get a job' doesn't become a norm in this world
The selected candidate will work across Zomato's portfolio including Blinkit District Hyperpure and Feeding India.
