It was free. It’s a marketing stunt. People were selected to put their resume on a box and say which offices they wanted it to go to. Pizza Hut then sent them free pizza with the resume on it. It’s all in the article.
It was a marketing stunt (probably officially a sweepstakes). The winners didn't pay anything.
The Pizza Hut ResZAmes submissions are now open at ResZAmes.com for a limited time through September 22, 2024.
.........so, this isn't even a thing anymore.
Edit: upon a quick google search, I come to find out it was only ever a thing for about a week, and only ever in the NYC area.
So it seems this wasn't ever intended to be a serious concept/service. It was just some CEO fucking around, and spending corporate money on his own personal inside joke. Complete with a whole list of disclaimers saying it's not legally obligated to even reach the hiring manager.
And ya know what? I can respect that. I wish MY fucking around at work had this kind of budget and logistics.
