Know what is the matter?
There were some vacancies in the Islamabad-based firm Giga Group. These vacancies were for the post of entry level trainee and office assistant in the company. The company had also given information about these vacancies on the Indeep app. Let us tell you that many companies post jobs on the Indeep app and many people apply for these posts through this app. Adina also applied for the trainee post through this app. What happened to Heera after this was no less than a nightmare. Heera told that after applying, objectionable messages started coming on the WhatsApp of the hiring manager Saddam Bukhari. In the screenshots of the conversation that Heera has posted on X with the hiring manager, it is written that quality time has to be spent with the boss.These things are also written in the post
Apart from these, in the screenshots shared by Heera, the hiring manager is saying that to stay in the company for a long time, she will have to cooperate with the boss. The hiring manager has written that if she is ready to cooperate with the boss in every way, then the job talks can be taken forward. When Heera asked about the ‘cooperation’ thing, the hiring manager said that you have already understood it.
It’s hard to be a girl in Pakistan
On X, Hira wrote, “Female job search in Pakistan is not for the faint hearted. Being a girl in Pakistan is very tough! I applied for a job on Indeed website. There were jobs for fresh graduates. And I got these messages (messages in the screenshot). It’s unbelievable! Who knows how many innocent girls they must have taken advantage of? When a fresh graduate looks for a job, they either get disgusting people or people with rich parents who get jobs through references. This country is hell!”
The company apologized
This post of Heera has gone viral on social media. It has received more than 22 lakh views and 26 thousand likes on Twitter. Heera later made another post. In this, he told that the firm had contacted him and claimed that Bukhari was not one of their employees. The company apologized to Heera for the incident. Later, Giga Group of Companies wrote about this on LinkedIn. The company said that the advertisement was fake and that person had no connection with Giga Group.
