Interested in Feedback on this HIK Help Wanted Advertisement viewed in LinkedIn this week.

As you can see in the ad - it appears that Hikvision is actually trying to conquer the world !

This looks to be a post by an individual regional sales director (Scott Stone) and not a 'management' post / decision.

I do agree though using the term 'conquering the world' is in poor taste.

On the positive side for Hikvision, evidently, Scott Stone is still excited enough for Hikvision to post such a thread.

Many other companies have used rhetoric like this to attract employees.  That it is Hikvision makes it eye-rolling grade but not really out the ordinary.

It is a lot easier to acquire applicants by promising to “disrupt an industry” in some fashion.  I am pretty sure every resume and job posting in California uses the word ‘disrupt’ somewhere.  In California even janitors disrupt clogged toilets.

#2, in fairness, the Hikvision sales ad is not promising to 'disrupt' the industry but to 'conquer the world', which is more aggressive.
