Genesis BBQ announced on the 15th that over 400 applicants applied for the recruitment of the second generation of the university student volunteer group ‘Ollibus,’ setting a record high competition rate.

According to BBQ, more than 200 people applied within ten days of the recruitment announcement for Ollibus 2nd generation, and by the application deadline, a total of over 400 applicants had applied. This represents a 300% increase compared to the first generation, showing an unprecedented competition rate of '20 to 1.'

Chairman Yoon Hong-geun said, “I sincerely thank the many university students who showed interest and applied beyond our expectations,” adding, “We will continue to support Ollibus’s social contribution activities so that they can have a positive influence in many places, and we look forward to welcoming outstanding Ollibus talents as new employees through this process.”

BBQ analyzes that the high interest from university students in Ollibus is due to Chairman Yoon’s ‘dramatic 33.5% increase in starting salary for college graduates’ implemented last month, as well as the benefits for outstanding Ollibus participants such as 'internship opportunities' and 'exemption from document screening during job application.' The number of applicants for the new employee recruitment also reached a record high of 2,500 since the company’s founding.

Ollibus is a compound word combining BBQ’s signature golden olive oil ‘Olive’ and ‘US,’ meaning ‘together with BBQ’ and ‘let’s share love and warmth with society together,’ representing the volunteer group’s spirit.

Meanwhile, the Ollibus 2nd generation inauguration ceremony was held on the 14th at BBQ headquarters in Songpa-gu, attended by Chairman Yoon, key executives, and related personnel. Ollibus 2nd generation plans to start social contribution activities on the 25th with the Chicken University Chicken Camp and donations to child welfare facilities.
