'Dystopian' hotel job advert calls for 'creatives' instead of staff

Are you able to ‘connect with that ageless millennial mindset’?

Can you flip an omelette, catch it, smile, take a photo, and answer a phone for a reservation?

You might be the perfect ‘creative’ Radisson Red are looking for.

The hotel chain has advertised for a receptionists – but you might struggle to tell that’s what they’re looking for from the job descriptions.

They say they’re not looking for staff but ‘creatives’, capable of a ‘little bit of mischief now and again’.

The job advert was spotted by civil engineer Toby Millard, who wrote: ‘Honestly can’t stop reading this mental job advert. It’s an absolute dystopian masterpiece.’

The ad calls for ‘creatives’ to be ‘present; in the soul of house, in the action, happy moving from the RED Sky Bar alive with music, to the events areas and a book reading, over to the lobby where a group are looking for a restaurant recommendation.

‘The phone rings reservation, you’ve got it and now you are flipping an omelette, catch it! This place is alive and you love it. Smile. Photo.’

The job is for Glasgow, but the recruiter didn’t quite get that as they stated you’ll ‘make RED the place to be in (City).’

Anyway, to get the job, a simple interview won’t do.

Instead, you’ll need to ‘show us. Make us smile. Use your phone and send us a video clip/a selfie/photos/an Instagram link… anything giving us insight into why you’re ready to welcome the world to the RED side.’

The hotel is also recruiting food and drink assistants, cleaners, and bar managers – or should we say, creatives.

Responding to the Twitter post, one user wrote: ‘I’ve never been so transcendentally happy to already have a job.’

Another said: ‘Christ, the application process… I dread to imagine what acts of extreme self-abasement you would have to perform on camera to make the malevolent AI that generated this ad smile.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Radisson Red for comment.
