As Singh made the post, he wrote, "Urgent hiring! I'm looking for a 'junior wife' to join my life. Note - Please do not apply for experienced candidates (wives). I will conduct separate hiring for experienced candidates. Job type: Rest of the life. Career Level: Entry Level (Only zero experience is preferable). Salary: Confidential. There will be three rounds of interviews. Final round: face to face"
He further also added the "requirements" for this "position". He said the person should have a "minimum of two years of experience in cooking, ability to wake up at night and make spicy biryani, good communication skills, should be respectable and decent, obedient and loving, and goal-oriented".

A second said, "What kind of post is this, and how can LinkedIn allow this nonsense on a professional platform? This is not Instagram or Facebook."
"Why don't you post these pick-up lines on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge or Shadi.com," posted a third.
A fourth commented, "Jitendra Singh, I don't know how this post is going to stick with you when you perhaps grow mature and realize how demeaning it is."
