So this is Zappo’s version of “American Idol”, right? Do you want me to dance, sing, or what? So all i have to do is demonstrate my passion for the company, not how well I can do the job? Cool! I can be as cluelessly incompetent and lazy as I can be, but get hired by you if I just show how much I ADORE the idea of working at Zappo’s! Got it!

The answer to recruiting is not to make the transaction even more lopsided, and make candidates look like fools (and waste their time) just to find “the right fit.” I applaud them for trying new things and not sticking to the same old song-and-dance, but it seems like they went in the wrong direction here.

What about those that hate to network like people that are introverts and/or shy? They make excellent contributions to the workplace also, but aren’t seeking out more ways to network.

Not workable in reality. For those of us who shun most of social media, this method is ripe for discrimination. We HAVE to join their network in order to be considered for employment? Sounds discriminatory to me.
Furthermore, it sounds like it’s turning employment recruiting into American Idol.
