The call was so attractive that, in less than 48 hours from its publication, 9,000 people applied.
Calm, an Argentine startup specializing in mattresses and other rest products, made headlines this month after opening a vacancy for the position of “napping specialist”. “We pay you to sleep,” said his advertising campaign to celebrate his third anniversary, offering whoever was selected a salary of 10,000 Argentine pesos (about $60) for “sleeping just one hour of siesta.”
The job offer —no longer available— was aimed at people with the gift of sleeping in “any place or situation, regardless of noise, light or crowd” and without “being ashamed to drool in front of other people.” Specifically, his responsibility would be to spend the night inside the store window of Calm in the Palermo neighborhood (Buenos Aires), provide an analysis of his products and share his experience on social networks.
Those interested could share their resume through Linkedin or Calm’s online page. The call was so attractive that, in less than 48 hours from its publication, they postulated 9,000 people, and a total of more than 15,000 interested closing day, November 16. According to the EFE agency, 25 were shortlisted and only two ended up hired.
Thus, this Friday was the first day of work for Kevin Raud, 27, and Chiara Torruella, 19, who signed a contract with the company, received a fan of pillows and an Apple Watch to register their rest.
