Update on Zomato Chief of Staff
Won't charge ₹20L Will pay the candidate Was just a filter for applicants
My opinion - just a publicity stunt but probably got a worse candidate pool than going the traditional way , sifting through 18k (200 word) cover letters
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
@championswimmer defended the idea, could you please share gist of conversation?

Anyways, @championswimmer won’t reply or might not be active on GV, I will ask this during next AMA. :)

That spineless dude won’t utter a peep against Zomato. His biases are pretty clear. If it was any other startup he wouldn’t have stopped spewing venom. But since this is Zomato, he’ll defend this to the death. Even going so far as to calling this an ‘altMBA’ of sorts.

Imagine if it was random less known recruiter who posted about offering a job in exchange for money. People will immediately resort to calling it a scam, which is the obvious thing to do.
But this is Deepinder Goyal, famous personality, and hence we dont see such outrage lol
There was outrage .. but a significant no of famous accounts backing this idea
Pragmatic eng called it out - https://x.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1859595534408831361

These stunts shouldn't be entertained
