Uber is starting to run television ads, not for the service but to recruit drivers. It feels about like a university of phoenix ad, you see it and just know its a bad idea.

Yeah if you have to advertise your job openings on TV then something is up.

Why is that? The more drivers the better the service and more money they make.

Already answered well but in a nutshell the only other companies I've ever seen advertising for jobs in such an eager manner are MLM schemes. Not saying that is what Uber is obviously just saying it seems odd.

Or just, you know, companies that are growing.

In this economy you don't need to look very hard to find tons of job applicants.
