HDFC made the news for the wrong reasons as a job posting it placed in a newspaper went viral.

The job ad invited graduates to apply for Branch Sales Officer role with the requirements being that they had to be younger than 28 years and that “2021 passed out candidates are not eligible.”
The last part raised eyebrows with some reacting with anger and outrage and others with surprise and contempt.

This coupled with anxiety over job prospects in an already tumultuous market prompted widespread criticism of HDFC’s job circular.
