Abstract

Abstract No job title? No candidate specifications? What’s up with this weirdness? A very confusing job opening advertisement. Creative job postings have been there since long. But Zappos, the US based online retail giant have given away the traditional method of job posting. In their recent recruitment drive their approach sounds like it favors prospective employees who are most deeply engaged with the brand. The researcher tries to understand the thinking process behind such a move by the retail giant. This article looks into the pros and cons of such a move. It also looks into the feasibility of such kind of move by other Industries.
