      It was free. It’s a marketing stunt. People were selected to put their resume on a box and say which offices they wanted it to go to. Pizza Hut then sent them free pizza with the resume on it. It’s all in the article.

      …so, this isn’t even a thing anymore.

      Edit: upon a quick google search, I come to find out it was only ever a thing for about a week, and only ever in the NYC area.

      So it seems this wasn’t ever intended to be a serious concept/service. It was just some CEO fucking around, and spending corporate money on his own personal inside joke. Complete with a whole list of disclaimers saying it’s not legally obligated to even reach the hiring manager.

      And ya know what? I can respect that. I wish MY fucking around at work had this kind of budget and logistics.
