💬 Bridging Perspectives
Did you hear about Zomato's latest job offer? Deepinder Goyal, the CEO, has thrown the recruitment world into a tizzy with his announcement for a Chief of Staff position. Imagine this: no salary for the first year and a whopping ₹20 lakh fee that candidates are expected to pay upfront! Yes, you read that right—paying to work at Zomato!
The Job Offer That Shocked Everyone
So, what’s the deal? Goyal took to X (formerly Twitter) to share this "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" that he claims offers more learning than an MBA program. But instead of a paycheck, new hires are asked to cough up ₹20 lakh, which is supposedly going to Feeding India, Zomato's charitable arm. And just to sweeten the pot, Goyal promised that from the second year onwards, salaries would be "definitely more than ₹50 lakh." Sounds tempting, right? But wait—who in their right mind would pay to work?
The Backlash and Online Frenzy
Naturally, social media erupted with reactions ranging from disbelief to outright mockery. Critics labeled the job offer as elitist and questioned how anyone could expect middle-class candidates to afford such a fee. One user quipped, “They will surely go hungry after the loan for 20L,” while another sarcastically suggested that even Narayana Murthy would look like a saint in comparison. Ouch!
Goyal tried to defend his unusual approach by saying it was meant to filter out candidates who couldn’t appreciate the opportunity. He insisted that they were looking for someone "down to earth" with a hunger for learning—not just another overqualified resume. But let’s be real; many saw this as a publicity stunt rather than a genuine hiring strategy.
Defense and Clarifications
In response to the chaos, Goyal later clarified that the ₹20 lakh fee was never meant to be collected; it was just a way to gauge serious applicants. He claimed they received over 18,000 applications and were sifting through them to find those who truly resonate with Zomato's mission. “We will not eventually ask for 20 lacs,” he assured in a follow-up post. It seems like he’s trying to save face after realising how outlandish this all sounded.
Some former employees defended Goyal, suggesting that the role could indeed offer invaluable experience for those looking to break into management consulting or strategy. However, many remained skeptical about whether this model could ever be fair or accessible.
A Lesson in Modern Hiring?
This whole saga raises some serious questions about modern hiring practices and what companies are willing to do to attract talent. Could we see more companies following suit and asking candidates for fees? If so, it might just create an even wider gap between the privileged and those who are genuinely talented but financially constrained.
As Zomato navigates this PR minefield, one thing is clear: they’ve certainly made headlines! Whether this approach will pay off or backfire remains to be seen, but for now, it’s safe to say that Deepinder Goyal has everyone talking—whether it’s in admiration or disbelief is another story entirely!
