The ad seeks to build a team of Pokeman catchers for a self claimed renowned âPokeman trainer'. "Physical fitness is a must, since the role involves running around town to catch them all. Candidate must be adept at training Pokemon and prior exposure to Pokemon gym battles," the ad says.
The job portal has about 7 million jobseekers, and over 4,00,000 employees. A big fan of the game, Sean Blagsvedt, founder and CEO, Babajob.com and Level 2 Pokemon Handler said, "Just as companies like Flipkart, Amazon, OLA and UBER transformed and expanded the delivery and driver job categories, we see Pokemon Go doing the same for Catchers.
