Roy clenched the blue capsule in his hand, his heart fluctuating.

The vast majority of human beings use stories to understand the world. There is always a hero in the story, there is a theme, there will be some conflict, and there will always be a happy ending.

But the real world is not a story.

There are no protagonists in the real world. This world does not exist for you, or even for the happiness of mankind.

The world doesn't care about your fate, and there's no obligation for you to understand.

There are no happy endings in the real world. The real world is always unsatisfactory, there will always be all kinds of helplessness, and there will always be contradictions.

But there's one thing that the real world is better than any story: it's full of surprising thrills.

Roy looked at Debra's beautiful face with a full expression, the other party's blue eyes, mischievous dimples seemed to be like a goddess in another world, so beautiful and moving at the moment.

He hugged Debra in his arms, fell down on the couch together, and kissed her.

……

"Thank you Debra, it's incredible, I feel like I've seen a whole new world. ”

Debra made a backhand movement, restrained Roy's hands, pressed against his lumbar spine, and made him unable to move, "Hey, you're crazy, this is the office area." This is what you repay me?"

"It hurts, it hurts...... Tap ...... If you don't want this, then what do you want?"

"I don't want you to do anything, I don't want anything. If Roy could see Debra's expression at this time, he could see the pain on her face.

"Nothing?" Roy was confused, this ...... It's great, isn't it?

"Hmm. ”

"Hermes' new bag is about to be released, why don't you buy one?"

“……”

“……”

"You don't have money and you like to brag, the company's cash is all in Noah's management, and before Red Coral goes public, it is difficult to realize the equity you own. ”

"Hey, it's okay, when I'm done, I'll give you more shares. ”

“……”

“……”

"No, I said no, don't say it again!" Debra said firmly.

"Okay......" Roy was moved, this is true love, I didn't expect my soulmate to appear so unexpectedly.

After Debra let go of him, Roy hugged him tightly despite the pain, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Debra squinted at Roy, pursed her lips, and swung a scissorhand behind his back.

……

A week later.

Hassle-free payment company.

Roy was energetically chatting with HR Director Doyle about the progress of the recruitment.

This middle-aged elite girl was dug by Noah using his connections.

Roy doesn't know if it's because of cognitive biases or the real situation, but he thinks that there are more women in the HR field. Whether it is Vera, who cooperated with Red Coral before, or Doyle, who is now cooperating with Doyle, they are all very good, and as far as it seems now, Doyle is even slightly better.

Doyle has a gentle attitude on the surface, but in fact he is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside. She not only has a good face, but also has her own temperament aura, strict logic in her speech, and humor.

"Doyle, isn't the hiring progress too optimistic?" Roy looked at the only a few new recruits on the form, a little worried.

"That's true, because we only recruit computer technology students at Stanford, so the scope of recruitment is immediately very narrow. In addition, our company is also newly established and its reputation is not obvious, so ......" Doyle sorted out the reasons for the slow recruitment progress.

Roy was a little curious in his heart, from personnel recruitment to formal hiring, how did these elite HR choose.

"Doyle, may I ask you, if we have a candidate for the senior position of technical director, what kind of recruitment will you use?"

Doyle didn't hide it either, took out a piece of paper, wrote four recruitment methods from left to right, and introduced: "In terms of personnel arrangement, the more important the position, the more risk must be controlled. Therefore, it is most important to be able to judge that this person is reliable when you have seen this person's work, and to be able to contact this person and feel that he is loyal. ”

"Uh...... It turns out that the most worrying choice is internal promotion. After all, the members of the company meet these two conditions. Roy can understand that internal promotion not only motivates morale, but also has the lowest cost, so more contact with senior management is helpful for a person's promotion, because they are always looking for good and loyal people.

"Not bad. If we don't have the right people internally, we select people with a proven track record. Generally, such people are well-known in the industry, and it is easier to indirectly judge a person's talent through the other party's works or achievements, and then give priority to whether they are suitable for hiring. Doyle moved the pen to the second position, for example.

This Roy also recognized that having made certain achievements in a certain field means that this person must have experience, and the probability of HR judgment errors will also decrease a lot.

Doyle raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The third is the most commonly used way, that is, the introduction of acquaintances." I would find people who are trusted and have the ability to discern professionally to recommend. There is a saying in the HR industry: everyone loves excellent people. ”

"Haha, do you mean to express that the person who took the initiative to apply for a job is actually saying: I'm a dick, and I don't want ......?" Roy admired the other party's humor, Doyle's expression and tone were secretly witty, and those who understood always smiled.

"Hey, that's true, so, if you're looking for a job in the future, and having someone authoritative endorses you, you'll get what you want. ”

Roy couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that it is a good idea for human resources to release recruitment revelations." This is a bit subversive of his perception, he thinks that most talents are screened through the submission of resumes.

Doyle smiled: "Think about it, a position has gone through: internal promotion, successful experience, recommendation from acquaintances, and finally open recruitment. At this time, there are not many really good positions. ”

Roy smiled awkwardly, thinking of his hard career of silently submitting resumes for decades in his previous life, and only then did he understand why he had been at the bottom for so long, it turned out that the posture of applying for the job was wrong. Maybe if you choose the right path in the first place, you will definitely be able to outperform 80% of the applicants.

The victory of the mental model is really the big move to turn the tables.

However, he doesn't have time to hurt the spring and autumn now, he has already taken a big step forward in PayPal, and now people can't recruit anymore, how can this be played?

"Isn't there a good way? If you keep going on and on and you, something will happen. ”

Doyle raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Of course, the recruitment benefits are higher than the actual salary level of talents, and they will definitely be able to quickly attract a group of people." ”

This Roy agreed, but Noah vetoed it, and Noah's reason was also very good: once the salary is raised, it will be difficult to lower, and in the case of unfavorable financing, the company's budget is very tight.

"Doyle, I'm sure you'll come up with a trick to win, right?"

"It's hard to say, you can come up with ideas that might give me some inspiration. ”

Roy was confused, if I can recruit people, will I still use it to urge you? However, he is not discouraged, and plans to use the four-quadrant analysis method to sort out and find inspiration.

There are always more solutions than difficulties.

He stood up and pulled a whiteboard over, picked up a whiteboard marker, and drew two horizontal and vertical arrows to divide the space into four pieces.

Roy said bitterly, "Why don't we call this 'Recruitment Gravitationals'?" (Appendix 1)

Doyle smiled and complimented: "Yes, the vertical axis can be labeled: the gravitational force of career development, and the horizontal axis can be labeled: long-term core elements." ”

"OK, the annotation is complete. Then the first quadrant has self-fulfillment, better team, greater contribution, and better enterprise platform ......"

Roy and Doyle discussed, putting the second quadrant: title increase, salary increase, convenience to work, company name...... Quadrant 3: Low salary, long distances, poor workplace relationships, frequent overtime...... Quadrant 4: Widow Jobs (Appendix 2), Business Development Bottlenecks, Glass Ceilings, Team Culture Discomfort...... and other advantages and disadvantages of the information are filled in.

The two looked at the whiteboard in a daze, and suddenly Roy had an inspiration and said in surprise: "I have it." ”

【PS】Appendix 1: Interested students can draw a four-quadrant diagram, and it will be clear at a glance.

Addendum 2: If a position requires a person of special temperament to be qualified, it is doomed to be an impossible position, a "widow's position" as Drucker called it.

Every time a ship goes out to sea, when it passes through a similar wind and waves, as long as the ship capsizes and people die, it will leave a bunch of widows behind. Therefore, this can also be called the "position of the pit man".
