Chapter 160: Spending money to buy time
"Manager Joyce, I came here this time to ask your company to help me search for some talents. ”
Xia Yu said slowly.
"Mr. Xia, please say, what kind of talent is needed and what are the requirements?"
Robert Joyce said with a smile, and after saying that, he turned his head to the staff who was waiting to pour tea at any time, and the staff member immediately nodded, picked up the notebook on the desk and prepared to take notes.
"First of all, my newly established book publishing company still lacks a general manager, and my requirement is that he needs to have worked in some multinational book publishing companies, and be proficient in publishing, distribution, book identification and management skills, the stronger the ability, the better!"
"If it's Pearson, or Penguin, it's a branch head or an executive, that's great!"
"That's all there is to it, and the price is as good as your normal charges. ”
Xia Yu smiled and said unhurriedly.
Hearing so many requests from Xia Yu, Robert Joyce not only did not feel embarrassed, but his eyes lit up, the more conditions for digging people, the greater the difficulty, and the higher the price, and he also wished that Xia Yu would put forward some more conditions.
However, even if Xia Yu's conditions are not simple now, as long as this business is completed, the funds he gets from the bonus pool will definitely not be low.
As for the difficulty of poaching, Robert Joyce's experience is still very sure.
"No problem, Mr. Xia, do you have any other needs for poaching people besides this business?" asked Robert Joyce with a smile again.
"Yes!"
Xia Yu nodded and said, which made Robert Joyce's eyes light up, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
"Speak!"
"I also need a manager who has experience in the management of a comic company, it must be the kind that works in the comic industry of the island country, preferably Chinese, if there are no Chinese, the island people can also do it, but the premise is that they cannot be hateful to the Chinese!"
Xia Yu said again.
This person is recruited to be the general manager of the comic company, and he must be familiar with the island comic industry, and he also has contacts in the island comic industry.
"Okay, Xia Sheng, is there anything else?" Robert Joyce said with a solemn face.
"Finally, I also need some talents in the comic industry of island countries, the first is Chinese cartoonists, and the second is comic trainers who are proficient in English or Chinese, the more the better!"
Xia Yu put forward the last request, and it was also the most difficult one.
Sure enough, hearing Xia Yu's request, Robert Joyce frowned slightly, but he didn't want to take the last business, because it was difficult and the profit was very low, so it could be said that it was the chicken rib of the chicken rib.
But Xia Yu's two previous businesses are very large, and it is impossible for him to refuse the last business, otherwise maybe the two ducks in front of him can fly away.
"Mr. Xia, your last request is very difficult, but we will do our best to do it!" Robert Joyce said with a sincere face, as for whether he thought so in his heart, he knew it himself.
Xia Yu also expected Robert Joyce's reaction, so he smiled and said, "Manager Joyce, I know that the last request is very difficult, but I can give another way of compensation, I believe you should be satisfied." ”
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Robert Joyce raised his eyebrows and became interested.
He smiled and listened.
"These two types of people, I don't follow your previous fee standard, but give you intermediary fees, you help me introduce them, as long as I successfully recruit in, I will give you 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for each recruitment, there is no upper limit!"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he looked at Robert Joyce with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although the cost of this requirement is a bit high, Xia Yu doesn't care, because even if he successfully recruits a hundred people, he only needs an introduction fee of one million Hong Kong dollars, but if he is allowed to do it himself, he doesn't know that he will go to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, and he may not be able to recruit.
With this time, Xia Yu had already let these talents help him earn an unknown number of millions
The sooner he is recruited, the sooner Xia Yu's comic company becomes regular, and the sooner he can make money!
Spending money to buy time is completely worth it for Xia Yu!
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Robert Joyce was stunned for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face, obviously satisfied with Xia Yu's conditions.
Seeing Robert Joyce's reaction, Xia Yu was not surprised, this was in his calculations.
Here I have to talk about the charging model of headhunting companies.
Large companies such as the world's top five executive search firms are mainly concentrated in executive and director searching, such as Spencer Stuart, which has long occupied more than 50% of the director search market of Fortune 500 companies.
Because of the top talents, their annual salaries are very high, and the service fees of headhunting companies are charged according to 20%-30% of the annual salary of talents hired by enterprises, which is very profitable.
But like Xia Yu's last request for talents, it is obviously a low-level talent, the annual salary is very low, a person has an annual salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a year, according to the standard of 20%-30%, it is 2,000 to 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then considering the scope and difficulty of finding this kind of talent, it is definitely a business that cannot make money, and it is no wonder that Robert Joyce does not want to do it.
But now Xia Yu proposes to give them a referral fee of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for every successful hir, and then there will be a profit!
And there is no cap, obviously Xia Yu wants to recruit this kind of talent in large quantities, as for what Xia Yu wants to do, Robert Joyce can't care, and he doesn't bother to think about it, he only knows that the more people he recruits, the higher the profit margin of his business, and the lower the per capita talent exploration cost.
In this way, this business can be done completely!
"Mr. Xia, no problem, our company has more than a dozen offices in the island country, I will notify them and do my best to help you recruit people!"
Robert Joyce replied with a smile on his face.
Xia Yu smiled and reminded Robert Joyce: "Oh, by the way, Manager Joyce, while you help introduce, we will also send out recruitment advertisements, no way, people are urgently needed." ”
After speaking, Xia Yu showed a helpless expression to Robert Joyce.
Robert Joyce's heart sank, and when he heard the potential meaning of Xia Yu's words, he immediately said: "Xia Sheng, please rest assured, we will definitely find talents for you as soon as possible!"
"Then I'll trouble you!" Xia Yu said with a smile.
His last sentence was to urge Robert Joyce to get concerned, if Xia Yu recruited people by himself, then there would definitely be no need for the people they introduced, there was such a risk, and Robert Joyce couldn't help but speed up the efficiency.
"Mr. Joyce, please calculate what the advance is. Xia Yu said.
Formal headhunting companies will charge advance payments as the cost of talent search before the recruitment work starts to ensure the normal operation of the company, and Korn Ferry International, as one of the world's top five headhunting companies, naturally has such rules.
"Okay, wait a minute!"
After Robert Joyce finished speaking, he stood up and went out to have the exact cost calculated.
It didn't take long for Robert Joyce to come in with the form and hand it to Xia Yu.
After reading it, Xia Yu nodded and recognized their charging standards.
Then, Xia Yu signed the agreement on the spot and paid the advance payment.
"Mr. Joyce, my company still has something to do, so I will leave first, I hope you will speed up the efficiency, I still need a lot of talents in the future, if this cooperation is satisfied, I think we will have a lot of opportunities for cooperation!"
After taking a sip of tea, Xia Yu stood up and said with a smile.
Robert Joyce said with a solemn face: "Mr. Xia, please rest assured, we will not let you down!
"You go slowly!" Robert Joyce sent Xia Yu to the door, bowed slightly and made a gesture of farewell.
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and then took Yan Shining into the car and left.
