An employer who has been facing backlash online over a controversial job listing has told AsiaOne why he’s offering what many deem an egregiously low compensation for the work needed.
Sky Hoon’s listing on job search sites that called out for content writers went viral on social media after he posted it earlier this week.
The founder of a startup blog called Vertical Template is currently looking for “passionate” Singaporeans who are willing to be paid $7.50 for each article they produce.
“For $7.50, you research and write about 1,000 words,” the employer wrote.

He affirmed that applicants should not be expecting a full-time or part-time salary as Vertical Template is a “self hustle/project and not profitable yet”.
