Dive summary:
- Pizza Hut will be interviewing for its open Social Media Manager position at SXSW on Sunday by allowing interested candidates to interview in 140 seconds, modeled after the 140 characters allowed on Twitter.
- The idea is that a qualified candidate should be able to condense their qualifications into seconds just like they will need to reduce content for social media.
- Pizza Hut will not be reviewing traditional resumes either, only LinkedIn profiles on a SmartPhone.
From the article:
"Pizza Hut will be holding the 140 second interviews at SXSW this Sunday, saying: 'It's the modern day elevator speech. The time you have to tell a story, engage a customer or leave a lasting impression on someone socially has shrunk to seconds.'"
