In the early days of Tengda's establishment, Assistant Xin was in charge of recruitment and finance. The colleagues in the administrative team were only in charge of assisting her.
However, as the company grew larger, Assistant Xin could not manage it all. Naturally, the administrative team split into specialized departments such as human resources and finance.
Assistant Xin directly handed the human resources work such as recruitment to the human resources department.
"Then call Little Hao over. I'll tell him something about the recruitment in the future."
"Alright." Assistant Xin nodded and went out.
Pei Qian sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.
Now that he thought about it, it might have been a mistake to underestimate the human resources department.
This probably stemmed from Pei Qian's previous prejudice against this department.
Some people said that in many large companies, the human resources department was a bit like the East Factory and West Factory in ancient times.
Many scandals broke out in large companies such as forcing sick employees to resign or firing without compensation. Basically, the human resources department had a strong presence in these scandals.
Forcing employees to resign must have been instigated by the boss, but the actual executor was the HR department. It was inevitable that they would take the blame.
At the same time, the HR department would often nitpick during recruitment interviews and lower prices. They would also occasionally play the role of a layman guiding the experts and giving orders in the professional field. Therefore, they were very annoying.
Pei Qian was just an ordinary employee before his rebirth. Naturally, he had a natural aversion to the HR department.
However, Pei Qian suddenly felt that his thinking was wrong.
At the end of the day, the HR department was doing the dirty work for the boss.
Whether the HR department was good or bad did not depend entirely on their own professional ethics. It depended more on what kind of company they were in and what kind of boss they had.
Those unscrupulous companies could use the HR department to exploit their employees, but Boss Pei could also use the HR department to better achieve his goal of screening slackers!
If he could train the HR department well so that they could actively raise the prices of interviewees during interviews and choose employees who did not like to work overtime, wouldn't that be a great help to Boss Pei?
Therefore, Pei Qian decided to meet this Little Hao and focus on instilling the Tengda spirit in him and clarifying Tengda's recruitment model.
…
After waiting for a few minutes, someone knocked on the door.
Hao Yun came into the office, looking a little nervous.
She looked like a young girl in her twenties. She was not tall and not good-looking. Her face was round and her eyes were big. She looked like an ordinary company employee.
She was younger than Pei Qian had imagined.
However, that was normal. After all, Pei Qian's first batch of employees were all inexperienced newbies.
Thus, Tengda's management was generally young.
Pei Qian's first impression of Little Hao was pretty good since he didn't have the overbearing aura that he had from HR.
What's more, Little Hao really did not have much of a presence. Pei Qian took a closer look at her, but he could not recall seeing her in the office before. It was obvious that she did not have much of a presence.
"Boss Pei, you were looking for me?" Hao Yun asked timidly.
"Alright, take a seat. I have a very important mission for you."
Hao Yun sat down on the opposite seat, feeling a little uneasy.
After all, she had always received quests from Assistant Xin. This time, it was a higher-level NPC. She was not used to it.
"The position in the HR department is very important. You should know this. Tell me about the main responsibilities of the HR department, "Pei Qian said.
Hao Yun quickly nodded. "That's right, Boss Pei. The HR department has to decide on the allocation of talents based on their specialties and specialties. At the same time, we have to create a relaxed and pleasant working atmosphere and fully motivate employees …"
Hao Yun said a lot in one breath.
She had wanted to make it simple, but seeing that Boss Pei had no intention of interrupting her, she had no choice but to continue.
After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, "Yes, that's it!"
He had wanted to be polite and raise the importance of the HR department. However, he did not know what to say. That was why he let Hao Yun do it herself.
However, Hao Yun said it so well that Pei Qian did not want to interrupt her.
"All in all, the HR department is very important. That's why I hope that the HR department can better understand Tengda's corporate culture and use it to guide recruitment and personnel management.
"How's the screening of resumes going? Do you have any ideas? "
Hao Yun perked up.
What Boss Pei was asking about was exactly what she was supposed to do!
"First, we'll screen the resumes.
"There are many people submitting their resumes, but there are very few positions that we need. That's why we'll be stricter in terms of screening.
"We'll do a preliminary screening based on the applicant's educational background, school they graduated from, work experience, project experience, and other factors. We'll screen out more than 80% of the applicants.
"After that, we'll send an interview invitation to the applicants.
"There will be two rounds of interviews. The first round will be for the person-in-charge of the department, and the second round will be for the HR department.
"Finally, we'll negotiate for a salary that's suitable for both the applicant and the company …"
Hao Yun gave a simple description of the recruitment process.
Pei Qian frowned.
That was the standard interview process for most HR departments.
However, Boss Pei would definitely not be satisfied with this process!
The resumes segment had directly screened out people with low educational backgrounds, poor graduates, and no work experience. Wouldn't that greatly reduce the chances of recruiting slackers?!
In the long run, the company would be filled with a bunch of hardworking people. Wouldn't that make Boss Pei unable to eat or sleep well?
Definitely not!
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment and said, "The process is good, but … I don't think it meets Tengda's recruitment standards."
Hao Yun was a little nervous. "Ah, really? What kind of process do you think it should be, Boss Pei? "
She quickly took out a small notebook and prepared to take notes.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with such an obedient employee. He introduced the employee selection criteria that he had thought of in detail.
"Tengda's standard is to not stick to one pattern and recruit talents!
"How can we discriminate just because the applicant's educational background is not good, the university he graduated from is not good, the work experience is not good, and the resumes are not good?
"That definitely won't do!
"We have to treat everyone who submits their resumes equally and give them a fair chance to compete!
"That's why there can't be a screening of resumes. We'll accept anyone who submits their resumes for a job."
Hao Yun wrote in her notebook, her face filled with confusion. "Ah? But Boss Pei, that would be too much work. We wouldn't be able to interview everyone. "
Pei Qian shook his head. "We don't have to interview everyone.
We'll find a time to arrange a written examination for them. We'll specially set up a venue for the written examination and let them answer the questions.
"We'll pick the top few candidates based on their positions to enter the interview."
Hao Yun was still confused. "If that's the case, the cost would still be very high. To organize such a large-scale written examination, we would need to prepare the venue, set the questions, arrange for people to mark the papers, invigilators, etc.
"The more people there are, the more money we'll need to spend. Based on the enthusiasm of the applicants, I'm afraid the cost of organizing such a large-scale written examination would not be low … "
High cost?
Isn't that great?!
Pei Qian said seriously, "These are necessary costs. We can't skimp on them."
"Er, alright." Hao Yun nodded and quickly wrote in her notebook.
After Hao Yun finished writing, she scanned the contents in her notebook and asked, "As for the examination questions, will the person-in-charge of each department set the questions and mark the papers?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "Only a portion of the questions will be set by the person-in-charge of each department.
"The written examination will be split into two parts. The first part will be a basic ability test, including basic knowledge, judgment, reasoning, data analysis, material discussion, and so on. It will focus on the applicants' basic abilities. The second part will be a professional knowledge test. The person-in-charge of each department will set the questions and test the knowledge and abilities necessary for the position.
"After the written examination, the applicants will enter the interview based on their overall score.
"During the interview stage, the order of the positions will be disrupted. The person-in-charge of each department will conduct a cross-interview."
Hao Yun, "Huh? What do you mean by cross-interview? "
Pei Qian explained, "The person-in-charge of the games department will interview the interviewees from Upwind Logistics, and the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Take-Out will interview the interviewees from Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. As for which department to interview, we'll draw lots to decide."
Hao Yun was even more confused. "Boss Pei, is this alright? As the saying goes, different professions are worlds apart … "
Pei Qian smiled. "That's easy.
"We'll decide on the interview questions and answers in advance. For example, the person-in-charge of Tengda Games will interview the interviewees from Upwind Logistics. Even if he doesn't know much about Upwind Logistics, he'll be able to tell which interviewee performed better just by looking at the answers. "
Hao Yun was confused. "But what's the point of doing this?"
Pei Qian was stumped for a moment. However, he quickly understood. "The point of doing this … is huge! For example, it can effectively prevent nepotism and cliques from forming in the various departments!
"It can also avoid the problem of nepotism in large corporations!"
Hao Yun nodded in understanding and quickly recorded.
Pei Qian continued, "After the interview, the final candidates will be selected based on the overall score of the interview and written examination.
"However, there's a third stage after that. That's the Tengda Spirit compatibility test!
"I'll personally set the questions for this stage and organize everyone to take the test. Finally, the papers will be graded electronically.
"Only those who pass the test can be officially hired.
"If you don't pass, you can only enter a one-month internship period. Although you'll still be paid, you won't be in charge of key work during the internship period. You'll mainly have to study hard and experience the Tengda spirit.
"After the one-month internship period, you'll have to take the Tengda Spirit compatibility test. If you still don't pass, you'll have to regrettably postpone it. If you postpone it three times, I'll have to apologetically dismiss you and compensate you. "
Hao Yun quickly recorded it in her notebook as she sighed inwardly.
Boss Pei is indeed Boss Pei. He actually arranged so many stages for the interview!
It sounded very rigorous!
Although Hao Yun felt that these stages were superfluous and unnecessary, she felt that Boss Pei must have a deeper meaning. Thus, she did not think too much about it.
What's more, Boss Pei's arrangements did make sense.
Pei Qian felt very satisfied.
The HR department led by Assistant Xin would definitely not be incompetent if they were to recruit according to conventional methods. What's more, the person-in-charge of each department loved to backstab Boss Pei. The new employees that they recruited would definitely be fierce. That would be difficult to handle.
The current arrangement might not be able to completely avoid such situations, but it would at least have an obvious weakening effect!
First of all, there was no need to screen resumes. That would give everyone a fair chance to compete. That would prevent many newcomers with low qualifications and little experience from being eliminated.
Second, only half of the written test would be about knowledge of the position. The other half would be a basic ability test that had nothing to do with the position. That would give a boost to those who did well in exams but did not necessarily have good working skills.
Moreover, the various departments would cross-interview each other during the interview. Outsiders would be interviewing professionals. That would greatly reduce the chances of selecting outstanding talents.
Finally, the Tengda Spirit compatibility test would be able to select many slackers. Those who were dedicated to their work would be compensated and then dismissed. Not only would they be able to spend money, but they would also be able to ensure the safety of their positions.
It was simply too perfect!
Of course, this standard did not reach Pei Qian's ultimate goal.
However, he could not go overboard. He could not directly write 'slackers' in the recruitment criteria.
This was already the recruitment process that Boss Pei was most satisfied with within the scope of the rules.
Soon, Hao Yun had memorized everything. Her little notebook was densely packed with several pages of notes.
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then, the main task of the HR department is to coordinate with the various departments as soon as possible and arrange this set of interview procedures.
"That includes how to choose the venue, how many positions there are in each department, the arrangements for examinations, and so on.
"Speak up if you need money. Don't be afraid to spend money!
"Take registration for example. If you think that screening resumes is too troublesome, spend money to set up a specialized recruitment website. That would make registration, printing examination tickets, and so on completely intelligent.
"I'll emphasize this again: don't be afraid to spend money!
"Talents are the foundation of the development of enterprises. This is a long-term talent selection mechanism. It will benefit the present generation and benefit the future generations, understand?"
Hao Yun nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I understand!"
She paused for a moment and realized that she had overlooked a problem. "Er, Boss Pei, where will the specific remuneration be decided?
Do we still need to lower the price? "
According to the rules of ordinary companies, the HR department would discuss the remuneration during the recruitment process. During the process, the HR department would definitely lower the price.
This was a common method for most companies to reduce expenses.
However, this did not seem to be part of Boss Pei's recruitment process.
Pei Qian said seriously, "Suppressing salaries is not in line with Tengda's corporate culture!"
"Since the applicant has passed through layers of selection and tests, it means that he is the talent we need."
"For this kind of talent, we should naturally seek after him. How can we suppress his salary?"
"Just for a few hundred yuan a month, we're making the talents unhappy, making them feel uneasy about their work, and affecting their work efficiency. Isn't it our company that suffers?"
"So, we can't lower the price!"
"Asking job seekers to raise their own salary standards, and then lowering the price, that's just being a hooligan!"
"We'll pay you according to the industry's higher standards. We have to ensure that Tengda's salary is competitive. Once the employees pass the Tengda Spirit compatibility test, they will immediately receive a raise. "
"Employees will only work for Tengda if they are paid enough!"
