In an unusual job listing that has caught everyone’s attention, Bengaluru-based mentoring platform Topmate is looking for a Chief Dating Officer (CDO). Instead of a traditional corporate candidate, the company wants someone with real-life experience in love, heartbreak, and online dating to take on the role.
“We are looking for a Chief Dating Officer. Are you the go-to friend for dating advice? We’re hiring someone who lives and breathes dating culture. The self-proclaimed matchmaker who can decode “ghosting,” “breadcrumbing,” and every new dating buzzword in the book? Well, we just swiped right on you,” wrote Nimisha Chanda, the marketing lead at Topmate, in the job listing
The job requirements for Topmate’s Chief Dating Officer are just as unconventional as the title itself. “1. Should have experienced at least 1 breakup, 2 situations and 3 dates (Receipts not required, but we’ll ask for the stories!) 2. Should know all the new dating terms and be daring enough to create new ones. 3. Should have tried at least 2-3 dating apps (we’re looking for hands-on experience, no catfishing allowed!)” the post explained.
One user wrote, “Back in school, I used to sit on the last bench and play FLAMES to match people—am I eligible?”
Another commented, “I wish I could apply! Such a fun position to be in.”
A third said, “Millennials are quite old for situationship I guess, so looking for only genZssss?”
A fourth added, “I don’t qualify for this role, but do u offer internships for complete rookies? No dating experience,no exes,and not even a dating app profile. I’m basically a love lab rat waiting for my 1st experiment. Willing to start as an unpaid intern—just need exposure(to dating, breakup).”
