Deepinder Goyal shared an update on the interviews of the staff chef of his company. A man responded and said he had applied and described his interviewer experience.
Although he did not get the job, the man said he had a valuable interview experience, despite applying on a whim. He added that the feedback he received was extremely useful.
“Sent the post purely out of curiosity and eventually had one of the best interview experiences. Did not make the last reduction, but the conversation and feedback have helped me enormously in recent months. Thankful for the chance,” Sanjay Krishna, product manager at Entri App wrote on X.
In a tweet, Mr. Goyal shared that the company received more than 18,000 applications and deals with more than 150 exceptionally talented persons. 30 candidates have already received offers from this pool, 18 of which have joined Zomato and his group companies, such as Blinkit, in rolls with a high impact.
Deepinder Goyal further revealed that these recruitments have started his “founders who started startups from their dormitories, engineers who rebuilt entire tech stacks during a weekend, operators who transformed chaos on a scale, and a handful of brilliant young spirits fresh from university. ” The leadership of the company believes that these people will help shape the future.
“Four of the 18 people who have joined us work directly with me, and two of them love staff rolls. And we are not yet ready. With 18,000+ applications we still select carefully from this incredible talent pool,” the CEO added.
Last November, Goyal wake up a buzz on social media with a vacancy for the role of Staff Chef. Initially he stated that applicants had to pay RS 20 Lakh, but he later clarified that no payment was required. Those who were hired for the role would be paid 'beautifully'.
