What is the most precious thing in the twenty-first century? talent! In recent years, the scarce resource of high-end talents has been paid more and more attention by enterprises, and the competition for talents by Internet companies has become more and more intense. They have always dared to be innovative, and they often focus, extreme, and fast in recruitment, and many companies have indeed achieved a great harvest of talents.
However, some companies sometimes want to attract attention too much, or the ideal is too advanced, making a lot of recruitment jokes, which are spat on by everyone as strange. Today we will review the recruitment anecdotes of these industries and add some material to the ordinary life.
Review those bizarre stories of Internet company recruitment
Strange one: the great Virgo
Recruiting staff depends on the constellation, which is now the unspoken rule of many companies. As a symbol of perfectionism, Virgo, because of many characteristics in everyone's mind, has fallen into a "turtle hair" evaluation, and even many companies have pointed out that they refuse to recruit Virgo employees. However, for Internet companies, such a perfect but "turtle hairy" Virgo is a rare treasure.
For example, Alibaba, the boss Ma Yun is a Virgo, that must not be excluded. This summer, Ali's Juhuasuan team and Dr. He jointly recruited "Extreme Experience Division", giving a rather attractive annual salary and quite demanding requirements, including: forbidding irritating foods such as onions, garlic and peppers, as well as rich condiments such as monosodium glutamate and soy sauce; Strong foreign language skills, excellent writing skills and so on. The most striking thing is that they require that candidates must be Virgos, and even specially played a Chinese and English advertisement for "Great Virgos" in Times Square in New York, which is simply to justify the name of all Virgos in the world. Of course, Dr. He's fame has also begun, and the benefits behind the high-profile recruitment are naturally rolling in.
Subsequently, Baidu also joined this wave of "only Virgo". Not long ago in beijing's school recruitment activities, Baidu Mobile Guard Chief Product Experience Officer played out: "This is a spit-based position, Virgo priority, standard iPhone 6" slogan. Virgo students suddenly climaxed in the crowd, and some also brushed Weibo while queuing up to fill out the form: "Virgo is here, come and admit me!" For students with many zodiac sign enthusiasts, Baidu's "school recruitment Virgo" is also a good idea. In addition to these two giants, there are many companies in the industry that seem to prefer to recruit Virgos. For example, the famous literary and artistic community Douban, the unspoken rule of the interview is - Virgo plus points, and Scorpio / Gemini circulation do not. 36Kr recruits HR commissioners, preferred Virgos with obsessive-compulsive disorder. To be honest, hr specialists who read more than a thousand resumes every day are undoubtedly suitable for Virgos who have extraordinary patience and are extremely picky.
Wonder Two: Flappy Bird plays well and determines how high your salary is
Entertainment-packed game companies never seem to skimp on their talent. Not only the mysterious giant network mentioned earlier, there are many companies in the industry that continue to bring us joy in recruitment.
Shanghai Junmeng Network, which had invited Japanese actress Hatano Yui to attend the annual meeting and was named "Local Luxury Company", also posted a recruitment notice some time ago: 100,000 yuan Bole Award reward talent recruitment administrative assistant, many of which are blinded by Xiao Nei's titanium alloy dog eyes. For example, you need to carry Google Glass at any time and use it skillfully, and it is said that it will be standard after entering the company; Everyone has a pair of Google Glass worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is really a local tycoon. For example, to be able to send and receive couriers, will change water, will change iPhone batteries, will walk dogs, will repair light bulbs, local tycoons this is obviously recruiting nannies.
Also, Flappy Bird can be interviewed for those who have passed 43 levels or more, and game company employees really need to play the game well enough. The last one, with Cosplay experience, chest circumference more than 36D people can be interviewed, male and female is not limited, this is simply speechless, Xiao Nei is completely kneeling.
The above mentioned game company recruitment to Flappy Bird to play well, coincidentally, Wuhan Weipai Network also requires that before the interview must first play Flappy Bird on the spot, after 20 points to enter the interview. This trick is too cattle, on-site inspection of the candidate's color, to eliminate any fraud. It is said that many interviewers even exceeded 100 points on the spot, and the company expressed considerable satisfaction. But Kouchi doesn't understand, isn't the game now recruiting development and marketing to recruit players?
Strange three: all kinds of strange employee welfare competition, there is no more "valuable" benefit than reimbursing female employees for egg freezing costs...
In addition to requirements and treatment, some Internet companies have also ingeniously arranged welfare and entry "gift packages" as an important weight to attract talents to join. For example, the employee benefits given by the festival selection include "cup after cup of airplane cups (please search for details by yourself)", which is really a broken place. Also let people find a on the ground is also grapefruit, male employees can even enjoy half a day a month aunt leave, really worthy of the company that does women's menstrual cycle app. Beijing's pea pods announced that "the weather is good - the AQI is below 30 on the day it will be closed", to know that in Beijing AQI below 30 can basically rely on "APEC blue".
Compared with the more gimmicky benefits of domestic companies, it is still the Silicon Valley giants that are more solid and powerful.
The first IT company in the universe - Apple, the latest employee benefits will actually give up to 20,000 US dollars in reimbursement to female employees in the egg freezing process and storage process, Facebook is said to follow up, it is really great!
And Google will continue to pay "death pay" after the death of employees
In terms of "newbie packs", Apple is also unambiguous - a new iMac all-in-one machine, but it needs to be assembled by itself, but it is a piece of cake for those who can join Apple. Not only are the giants generous, but the small companies are also very open-minded and generous. Airbnb's perks are to allow employees to bring pets to work every day, and they also have a special pet rest area and supporting facilities. The "newbie package" for new recruits is a $2,000 travel fund, and friends who like to travel must be immediately moved.
Precious treasures always make people crazy, and high-end Internet talents are scarce resources that companies in the industry are scrambling to grab. Those recruitment tricks that are biased and those strange stories that have become jokes are all manifestations of the extreme desire of large and small companies for talents. So, this may be the worst of times, because the fierce competition is only in the day and night; This is probably the best of times, because it may be you as a talent that trigger the fierce competition.
