Chapter 20 Chapter 17 It is difficult to recruit people, and it is also difficult to find a job

As for Lala, after Rose left, the answer to the mystery was revealed: it turned out that Rose was ready to leave, and wanted to pry off the backup candidate for administrative manager before leaving, so that Liszt could catch him blind; Let Liszt be the dignified human resources director, but he can't see clearly the abacus of his manager, and he will lose face in front of DB China. Lala believed that there might be some good things going on in every corner at this moment, and she was chattering excitedly about it.She couldn't help sighing secretly: What kind of deep hatred can't be solved!

At the same time, Lala couldn't help but secretly had a glimmer of hope in her heart. Rose left, it's her turn, right? After being played by Rose, it is not true to say that Liszt did not consider using Lala at all.But on the one hand, he always feels that Lala has never been a manager, so he underestimates Lala habitually; Ask He Haode for special treatment. After Rose did not go to work under the guise of a threatened miscarriage, the headhunters found him some candidates for administrative managers. After thinking for a long time, Liszt dug out the resumes of these people to review their homework, and told the recruitment manager Li Wenhua to quickly select a few candidates for him. .

There was no administrative manager in the Shanghai Office, and all the departments went directly to Liszt to yell about major and minor matters.For the Beijing Office, after Wang Qiang left, Rose never found a suitable candidate to fill in the blanks, and various departments often complained: Why doesn’t the Beijing Office have a personal butler? Liszt was suffering from a headache, and while he was speeding up his search for a manager, he asked Lala to go to Beijing to put out the fire first. Lala said directly: "Boss, can I be a manager?" When Liszt met Lala, he liked to be bureaucratic: "Lala, don't worry, exercise more, it will be of great benefit to you to obtain better professional competitiveness."

Lara said, "exactly (you're absolutely right)." The next day, Liszt received an email from Lala, claiming that he had been managing renovation projects in Shanghai for half a year. He was physically exhausted, mentally stressed, suffered from severe insomnia, and his blood pressure was often high.The doctor is now recommending a period of rest.Considering the current shortage of manpower in the administrative department, I am willing to look forward to the Guangzhou office despite my illness. At the same time, Lala pointed out that according to the company's regulations, overtime work at the manager level does not get compensatory leave, while overtime work at the supervisor level does not get overtime pay, but can be paid off.For the past six months, I have worked more than 100 hours of overtime per month, which greatly exceeded the upper limit of 36 hours of overtime per month stipulated by the labor law. Lala asked Liszt how to deal with her more than 700 hours (equivalent to 88 working days) , based on 21 working days per month, it is equivalent to more than 4 months of overtime).

Lala attached a scanned copy of the six-month overtime slip to the email, and each overtime slip was signed by Liszt. Liszt read the email with a big header.When Lala went to Shanghai for training, Liszt saw her from a distance in the aisle of the office, hesitated, and hurried away. Liszt called the recruitment manager Li Wenhua and asked, "What's the progress in the candidate for the administrative manager?" Li Wenhua is a native of Nanjing, with handsome features and a tall, thin figure.He is in charge of recruitment and employee relations. On the one hand, it is natural; This kind of relationship, usually see people with a three-point smile before opening their mouths, known as the smiling tiger.Li Wenhua is relatively well-off, usually he doesn't want to offend people easily, he doesn't care about small things and can suffer, and he is willing to help others by the way.

The biggest problem between him and Liszt is that there is a problem of matching between the two. Li Wenhua is in a period of excellent experience and physical strength, and he has great ambitions. Li Wenhua, a recruiting manager, has been enduring the loss of not being taken seriously. Men and women are two very different animals. Li Wenhua will never go to Liszt to fight for his own interests like Lala. At most, he will mention it gently when it is convenient. Shut up—he knew that it might be effective for Lara to do that as a woman, or at least it would be harmless; if he wanted to do that, it would be funny, even dangerous.

On the surface, Li Wenhua always listened to Liszt’s advice and was respectful. He also partnered with Wang Hong, the compensation manager, in an orderly manner. Others couldn’t see anything wrong, and Liszt thought it was all right, but Li Wenhua’s inner depression was only his own taste. Seeing Liszt asking questions today, Li Wenhua replied with a smile: "I showed you two last time, and you were not satisfied. The candidates I saw in the past two weeks are not as good as those two. Either they lack experience in large project management, or they have communication skills." Not good enough. We have a lot of directors here, and there are also many people who are not good enough to serve, and those whose EQ is not high enough. I am afraid that many things will not be settled when they come, and it will be troublesome if you have to clean up the situation for him."

Liszt said: "Directly look for managers with long experience, experience is enough." Li Wenhua said: "Yes, there is such a person, but after talking about it, I feel that he has been doing it for too long, he is skinny, he has no passion, and he is not very proactive in doing things. In fact, we have a lot of things here, lazy people. Certainly not." Liszt waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't be lazy. You have to be proactive, have good experience, and communicate well with various departments." Li Wenhua said with a smile: "Yes, I understand. Such a person is not so easy to find. After passing your pass, you can get He Haode. You know, his requirements have always been high. Sometimes we The person who was recruited after a lot of hard work, finally passed five checks and six generals passed the checks of the relevant departments. When he got to him, he was killed with a single shot. Some of our manager positions have been recruited for six months. Fill in the blanks, the hiring department reminds me every day, I'm under a lot of pressure as a hiring manager."

Liszt said: "Shanghai is so big, isn't there a good administrative manager?" Li Wenhua said: "There must be good ones. But when Bole (headhunting company) went to approach (contact) them, they didn't consider our position. Those who do well are generally unwilling to move casually. He is now one of the top 500 He is already the manager, but when we come here, he is still a manager, and there is no obvious value-added benefit, and it is not enough for us to add some money to be attractive to him." Liszt crossed his hands and thought for a while, then leaned forward and said, "Wenhua, recruitment is your strong point; administration is also a typical job series. It is not easy to arrange job rotation opportunities. I want to take advantage of the vacancy of the administrative manager. What do you mean by asking you to lead the administrative line for a month or two so as to increase your professional competitiveness?"

Li Wenhua was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Of course that's good. But, as you know, there are too many job vacancies that the company needs to fill in the past few months, and several members of the recruitment team are already too busy to breathe. All departments are still desperately urging us. I am afraid that if we are distracted, the pressure here will be even greater." Liszt hummed, thinking. Li Wenhua tentatively said: "Boss, let Lala take the administrative line first, how about it? Didn't she take care of it for six months, and it's pretty good?"

With a wry smile, Liszt told Li Wenhua the meaning of Lala's email. Li Wenhua's mind turned quickly.After George Gates visited China four months ago, he was very optimistic about the Chinese market, and the United States quickly made a decision to focus on investing in China.A group of foreigners came from the headquarters and held meetings with people from the consulting company and managers of various departments every day. An ambitious strategic expansion project "CHINA The first draft of FUCUS (China Focus) will be released soon. A general organizational framework has been planned for this project. According to this, Li Wenhua's team will complete a large number of recruitments in just three to four months. As for the part of headhunting companies that can be used, Ke Bide's budget is not much, mainly Concentrating on the positions of second-line managers and above, which means that many positions, such as first-line manager positions, will rely on the strength of Li Wenhua's team to complete the recruitment. And Li Wenhua's team was under a lot of pressure this year. The company's business is good and the scale is expanding year by year, but his manpower has not been increased.With a supervisor and two specialists, he is doing national recruitment and employee relations, and is also responsible for the management of personnel information such as contract files, which seems to be very tight. One of the commissioners performed very well. He has been in the current position for more than five years and is a capable person under Li Wenhua, but his salary is only in the early 6000s.After Liszt was transferred to the China region three years ago, Li Wenhua asked him several times to be promoted to a senior commissioner, but Liszt refused to approve it, and there was no plausible reason for not approving it. He only said that Li Wenhua's team was not large. If he is promoted to a senior commissioner, He Haode will have opinions. For a veteran HR manager like Li Wenhua, he certainly understands that this is not a reason at all.He Haode is the president, how could he ask questions below the manager level?Moreover, such a promotion did not violate the company's promotion process regulations in any way.Li Wenhua really didn't understand what Liszt was thinking. Li Wenhua made many requests, and Liszt said to him: "If we give employees a treatment that is lower than the market, he will naturally leave; if he has not left for so many years, it proves that the treatment we give is in line with his contribution. and competitiveness.” Li Wenhua couldn't argue too much with Liszt's logical reasoning in person, so he had to wait for the opportunity.This time in China For the Focus project, he said to Liszt: "Now is the time to employ people. Jason's loyalty is good. Boss, can we give him a recognition and add some money?" Liszt said in an official tone: "It's not good to talk about money. The company has a certain salary increase system. Don't add extra money to employees at will. This will make the team atmosphere bad." Li Wenhua said: "I'm afraid he will quit." Liszt said unmoved: "Mobility is not necessarily a bad thing. Reasonable mobility can bring fresh blood to our team." Li Wenhua was so angry that he really wanted to "flow reasonably" right away.Jason is a young man in his early thirties who has worked for nearly ten years. No matter how thick-skinned Li Wenhua is, he can't find a good excuse to coax him.He could only pray secretly that Jason would not change jobs in the next five months. Seeing Lala's resistance to Liszt now, Li Wenhua felt a little refreshed. It didn't look like Lala, who only knows how to work, could write such emails. It seemed that she really grew up quickly in the struggle. Li Wenhua thought, Lala is a much better person than Rose, she is devoted to work and doesn't like to make trouble.If she could fill in the blank right away, at least she would be able to reduce the recruitment pressure on her side.Moreover, the administration department has positions in each area, and Lala is loyal. If I help her this time, if my team is too busy in the future, I can ask Lala's team in each area for help and do some trivial things. Li Wenhua said to Liszt: "Boss, I have heard reports from many departments that Lala does a better job than Rose. If you can use her, won't you be able to save these troublesome things immediately? Lala also I will be very grateful to you, I have observed her integrity is not bad." Liszt pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This post is going to be set up in Shanghai. If she refuses to go to Shanghai, He Haode will not agree." Li Wenhua persuaded: "Boss, after the completion of the project, didn't He Haode write a letter to Lala? I heard that He Haode expressed his appreciation for Lala in the letter. I think he will agree. Lala She has always been willing to travel more, and she can still do a good job if she runs more on both sides." Liszt didn't know that He Haode had written such a letter. He was taken aback, felt a little uncomfortable, and was embarrassed to say that he didn't know about it. To set up a post, you still have to assign people according to the post. This is a principle that applies to all employees. If we specialize in HR, other departments will challenge us in the future.” Li Wenhua said in his heart, then you can wait for me to recruit you this administrative manager.He said no more and withdrew. Since Rose went to Guangzhou to persuade Lala to leave DB, Lala started looking for a job. In addition to labor-intensive enterprises, most of the top 500 set their Chinese headquarters in Shanghai or Beijing, and Guangzhou has been increasingly marginalized.Under such an organizational structure, in the Guangzhou offices of these companies, the highest level of the administrative department is often the administrative director. Where can I find an administrative manager position in the Guangzhou office of the Fortune 500. After searching for a job for two months, Lala understood this harsh reality. After Rose left, Liszt's attitude left Lala with no choice but to continue to seek opportunities in the market. White-collar world holds two special job fairs for European and American companies and IT companies in Guangzhou every year, and the minimum annual salary of all released positions must be more than 60,000.Lala decides to go directly to the white-collar world job fair to try her luck. In fact, at such job fairs, few large companies usually release manager-level positions, and the most popular ones are professional (specialist)-level positions, such as engineers, specialists, and supervisors. Work is still good.Lala was ill and went to the doctor in a hurry, so she simply went to try her luck. The recruitment site was crowded with people, and those with weak hearts couldn't bear the noise.Lala poked around in the crowd and said to herself: If it is not a Fortune 500 company, I will never go there!A manager position is a must! In front of the HEP booth, she really found a job offer for an administrative manager. HEP is a Fortune 500 US-funded company that deals in home appliances. They are recruiting an administrative manager for a factory located in the Pearl River Delta. Lala noticed that the factory was not located in Guangzhou, but in a small town on the edge of Guangzhou.The recruitment notice stated that: the company has a shuttle bus to and from Guangzhou and the factory every day to pick up and drop off work. Lala asked herself: Can you accept the life of getting up at 6:30 in the morning and going to bed at 10:30 in the evening?If you have a doctor's appointment, get your hair done, or go to the department store, you'll have to take time off, otherwise you'll have to use the weekends.You can't be late either, because the factory is too far away from the city and the traffic is inconvenient, so you have to keep up with the bus. Lara wasn't happy with the opportunity, but she wanted to be a manager so badly.She persuaded herself: Be patient for two years, as long as my resume has the work experience of a manager of a Fortune 500 company, it will be much easier to find a manager position in the urban area.What's more, it's just talking now, and it's not making a decision right away. If you don't suffer from talking, just experience it. Lala made up her mind immediately and got into the crowd to hand over her resume.At first, she patronized to read the recruitment notice posted on the high place, and after handing over her resume, she noticed what kind of HR person from HEP was sitting there. The HR who received her was a young man in his thirties. His hair was very hard and a little yellow. It looked like it was done by an unskilled hairdresser. He was wearing a light blue cotton sweater and a cheap suit directly outside. The man sat there, moving his body constantly, shaking his head and stretching his arms. He contemptuously took the resume handed over by Lala with both hands, flipped through it a few times impetuously, and saw that Lala's current position is an administrative supervisor, and he didn't make eye contact with Lala at all, so he looked at the resume and said conclusively: "Your qualifications are not enough to apply for an administrative manager. We also have an assistant administrative manager position in charge of the canteen, security, landscaping and vehicles. You can try to apply for this position." As he spoke, he flicked Lala's resume with his fingers. Lala was disgusted, not to mention the rough hairstyle and the exposed cotton sweater in the suit, but the fluttering body language of his body made Lala want to get away and leave. Lala tried her best to persuade herself that she was out looking for a job, so she had to be patient. She explained in a good voice: "The typical responsibility of an administrative manager is to manage a large office renovation project. Because the company's administrative manager is vacant, I was lucky to be in charge of such a project. I have a letter from the president here, which can I have proved that I have performed well in this project, so I am confident that I am qualified for the position of administrative manager. It is only because the position of the company is located in Shanghai, and my family lives in Guangzhou, that I have no choice but to seek opportunities in the Guangzhou market.” The HEP HR made a stop gesture impatiently and said, "Don't explain so much. We have our employment standards." Lala had no choice but to smile and make way for the people behind.She secretly wondered in her heart that there is such a big difference in the level of HR who is also in the top 500.Let’s talk about Li Wenhua’s Jason, I heard that Liszt has been refusing to promote him, and his salary is not high, but he doesn’t know how professional he is compared to HEP, an HR with an extremely inflated sense of self. Lala thought, based on the HR in front of her, it is estimated that the average quality of the company is not very optimistic.With his own level, what level can he recruit for HEP?Even if HEP is really willing to give me the position of administrative manager, I don't want to go - working with such people all day long, life is too boring.It's better to hang out with Liszt, even if you are only an administrative director, anyway, Liszt speaks politely and behaves like a big-name Hollywood star, at least you can feast your eyes. Lala left HEP's booth, thought for a while, and was not reconciled, then turned to the booths of other big companies to look left and right.It turned out that a Fortune 500 company in the chemical industry was recruiting similar positions for their factory in Huangpu Development Zone, Guangzhou.Probably due to the high added value of the product, the people in this company are obviously of much higher quality, making Lala feel like she is the same as herself.Lala handed in her resume and chatted briefly with the HR of the other party for a while, and found that the responsibilities of this position were much simpler than those of the DB administrative manager. The problem of the working location also made her hesitate to work in the city center. Finally he backed down disgruntled. Lala squeezed out of the recruitment venue, and found that she had lingered inside for three or four hours.Her face was greasy and sweaty, and her dignified and noble velvet coat was a little askew.Standing in high heels for so long made her feet ache. She was tired and frustrated, and she really wanted to find someone to talk about her grievances, but she took out her mobile phone but didn't know who to call. Back home, Lala kicked off her high heels and threw herself onto the sofa.She rubbed her throbbing temples, thinking about what to do. The white-collar world is considered a high-grade job fair in the Pearl River Delta. Lala is well aware of this, and she has now confirmed that this is not a place where she can find a satisfactory job, so the job fair will not work. After much deliberation, she decided to find a headhunter. Lala knows that the headhunters used by DB are "Bole" and "Kerui", so as long as it is not "Bole" or "Kerui", she can talk about it.But which headhunter should we talk about?Lara was completely out of ideas.She didn't even know any good headhunting companies in the market, let alone contact information, Lala sighed worriedly. The dim night fell little by little, covering Lala's face.She fell into a heavy sleep.
