Recently, a recruitment notice from HeYTea requiring a bachelor's degree for tea mixers has sparked intense discussions on social platforms.
The recruitment notice shows that HeYTea publicly recruited financial specialists and tea mixers at a spring job fair for college graduates. Among them, the requirements for the tea mixer position include preparing and making store products, handling cashier work and daily tasks, and cooperating with the store manager to complete work. The salary is 5,000 - 7,500 yuan per month, and a bachelor's degree is required.
Many netizens were surprised by this recruitment requirement, saying, "A tea mixer just needs to know how to shake milk tea. Isn't it too absurd to require a bachelor's degree?" Some students who participated in the job fair also said that HeYTea was the only milk tea shop at the fair.
It was noticed that in the recruitment section for tea mixers at the HeYTea LAB store in Tianhuan Square, Guangzhou, the job requirements also specifically mention understanding business operations, having strong logical thinking ability, data processing and analysis ability, and cost control ability.
On March 17, a staff member at the Tianhuan Square LAB store in Guangzhou responded that the store was indeed recruiting tea mixers, but the tea mixers at the job fair were directly recruited by HeYTea's headquarters, and they didn't know the specific situation. "The controversial degree requirement has been changed from 'bachelor's degree' to 'no limit'."
The above - mentioned staff member added that the responsibilities of the store's tea mixers include making drinks, handling cashier work, and providing outdoor services, with a total of 5 to 6 sub - fields. It mainly depends on what kind of business one is good at. Even if one doesn't have a bachelor's degree, they can apply for the job through the normal process. "Even if high - educated talents apply, there is no advantage, and promotions are based on personal ability," he said.
On third - party recruitment platforms, inquiries were made to several HeYTea HRs about the degree requirement for tea mixers, but as of the time of publication, no responses had been received.
