The messages include the Snapchat ghost mascot looking glum while driving a cab, another asks “this place driving you mad?” accompanied by the Uber logo, and linking back to Snapchat recruitment.

Snapchat spokesperson Jill Hazelbaker told Forbes: “They’re a unique and playful form of recruiting.”

Snapchat has admitted to using this recruitment technique in a number of locations.
