Chapter 247 Recruitment
Time flies, and two days passed after the dinner.

On September [-]th, Shangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center, which is now arranged as a talent recruitment exchange center, is the venue for this technology company talent recruitment event.

The scale of this job fair is huge, with thousands of companies participating. Of course, the word technology must be in quotation marks. Many companies may be just a side note, and the company name has the word technology.

Companies engaged in technological industries such as information, network, electronics, bioengineering, new materials, and new energy are true technology companies.

There are also some companies that are just a name, and the technology content is not too high, such as machinery, electromechanical, electronics, and some home appliance manufacturing industries.

There are also some more pragmatic technology companies, such as corporate image planning, business consulting, corporate management consulting and so on.

Although some enterprises may be a factory, producing some low-end electronic products, which do not require any technical content.But this time, after all, it was a job fair hosted by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and the entry barrier was not low.

Although Weiyang Technology is not well-known and relatively small, its scale is already there after all. After handing over the materials, it passed the review smoothly, but the location is a bit off.

In fact, they are not the only ones. The overall scale of Internet companies in the province is too small. A total of thousands of technology companies have participated in the recruitment this time, and only less than twenty Internet companies can enter the market.

Nearly half of these companies are local in Shangzhou, and four belong to Los Angeles. In addition to Weiyang Technology, there are two game companies and a local website.

As for the rest, they are sparsely distributed in other cities in the province.

Due to the small scale, there are few Internet companies that are qualified to participate in the job fair, and of course there are no good positions.Fortunately, everyone knows that this situation is normal, and there is nothing to complain about.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, Shang Yansong and Liu Hao, a group of seven, showed their corporate certificates at the entrance of the venue, signed in, and entered the venue.

For this job fair, Shang Yansong brought two employees from the human resources department, Liu Hao brought an employee from his game business department, the remaining one represented the technical department, and the other belonged to the administrative department to help with some trivial work .

When I came to the company's promotion booth, several Internet companies had already arrived, and they were all in the same industry. Everyone greeted casually and began to set up the scene.

The laptop is turned on, and various documents and forms are neatly arranged. Of course, there is a large stack of pre-designed and printed leaflets. After a while, when the applicants come in, these will be sent out.

Manager Liu of an Internet company next to him, seeing that they had prepared so well and that so many people came, couldn't help being surprised and said, "Why don't you just take a formality? By the way, let's promote the company. Why are you so serious."

Shang Yansong glanced at him in surprise: "Isn't this a job fair held by the government? How could it be a formality?"

Manager Liu looked like you didn't understand: "This job fair is hosted by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology. Everyone knows that our province's Internet industry is weak, but this time it's a technology company job fair, and Internet companies must not be absent."

"The strength of our Internet companies is well known to everyone, and it is actually just for appearance. It means that our province is still developing and attaching importance to this industry, and is still providing jobs for talents in this field, so that the brain drain will not be too serious. But in fact, it’s just a good-looking face.”

Shang Yansong nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case, thank you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to figure it out."

Manager Liu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, this is considered common sense. You should be a new company recently, otherwise you wouldn't be unclear about this."

Shang Yansong nodded and said, "Yes! Our company has only been established for half a year, what else is there to say?"

Manager Liu looked at him in surprise and said, "That's right, there is a threshold for participating in this job fair. Your company has just been established for half a year and you have this qualification, not bad..."

Speaking of this, he continued to explain: "Actually, it's nothing. The Department of Science and Technology organizes this type of job fair once or twice a year. This is the first time for you to participate. Just wait until the next time."

"Actually, this kind of thing is quite easy. You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself when it comes to recruiting. It's enough to ask for a few ideas and follow a formality. No one will criticize you."

Shang Yansong was surprised again.

"Why do you have to take a formality? Isn't it a rare opportunity for this job fair to gather so many technology companies and talents? Is there anything else to say?"

Manager Liu glanced at Shang Yansong, and was relieved to think that they were a new company.

"Brother, you are a new company, and you may indeed have needs for employees. But you also know the scale of our Internet companies. In the whole province, you can count on one hand the number of employees more than one hundred."

"There are only five fingers on one hand. As far as I know, there are only three or four Internet companies in the province with more than one hundred employees."

"Brother, seeing that you are also the management of the company, you should know what this means. The scale is so large, how many new people can be recruited in a year, we have a lot of job fairs in this area, even if there is a vacancy, it can be easily filled gone."

"As this kind of event held by the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, our companies represent the Internet industry in the province, so we have to show up and participate in it. But it doesn't have to be too serious, there is no such demand, just to raise a few ideas. "

Shang Yansong said: "I think this should be taken seriously. After all, it is the technology job fair with the largest number of participants in our province. There are still a lot of talents in it. Even if the company does not have many vacancies, it is good to dig a few more talents. "

Manager Liu sighed and asked Shang Yansong, "Do you think we are short of talents?"

Without waiting for Shang Yansong to answer, he went on to say: "As a province with a large output of talents, our province has actually cultivated a lot of talents. Even if there are so many outflows, the local talent resources are still very rich."

"For example, the talents in the Internet industry, although not as good as those in the big coastal cities, our industry in this area is also weak, and it cannot accommodate so many people for employment. Nowadays, a large number of talents are trained every year, and many people can only go to other places. city ​​Development."

"So we don't lack talents in this area, but we lack industries to accommodate these people. As a result, a large number of people leave their hometowns every year to find opportunities elsewhere."

Shang Yansong was silent for a while: "Yes! It's a pity that so many talents are lost."

Manager Liu said: "It's a pity, but if you don't have related industries, it's a waste to keep it and delay others."

"Like last year, we were also recruiting here, and we actually received a resume from a Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, who is from our hometown and majored in software engineering."

"We were surprised at the time. After all, with such a degree, it is easy to find a good job in BJ, but some people really can't get used to big cities, so they want to go back to their hometowns to work."

"But it's really surprising to send a resume to a small Internet company like us. We finally had a meeting and discussed it. Although there were disputes, we finally reached a consensus and decided not to delay others."

"Although he may not choose our company in the end, we are only a local website for the whole province, and we don't need any advanced technology and such top talents."

"The most important thing is that if you want to keep this kind of talent, you need high salary and high benefits. Our company can't afford it, so we have no choice but to give up."

"Actually, this is not an isolated case. We have also received resumes from Tsinghua University before, and they are undergraduates majoring in computer science. Not to mention the only key university in our province, the University of Commerce, our company has more than a dozen."

"There are also universities such as University of Science and Technology of China, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Wuhan University, etc. We have received many resumes from such key universities, and they all came back from our provincial exams and wanted to develop."

"You have to know that we are only a local website, a small Internet company with a total of seven to 80 people."

"But even so, there are still a steady stream of such resumes sent to us. Sometimes we are also very distressed. Obviously, for a position with low requirements, two, or even three or a junior college can meet the requirements and complete it very well. Task."

"However, there are still many graduates from key universities applying for this kind of position. Although we know that they are talents, we can only choose those with low education. Without him, we can still meet the job requirements, and the salary demand is still low."

"This is the current situation in our province. In fact, there are a large number of talents who want to stay and develop locally, but the industry is weak and there are too few opportunities. They can only go to other places."

Shang Yansong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and had to sigh with emotion for Shangzhou's advantages in this area. After all, it is a provincial capital with many universities, and it is indeed better than Los Angeles in terms of talents.

In fact, the last time Shang Yansong presided over the recruitment, he also recruited many graduates from key universities, and planned to train them carefully as the backbone. How could he dare to reject Manager Liu so casually, and he didn't know how to cherish it.

While sighing, he was eager to try. Since there are so many talents, he will not refuse. There are so many places waiting to be filled in the company!

Moreover, Weiyang Technology's aggressiveness is much higher than that of Manager Liu's local network.

Seeing Shang Yansong's astonished expression, Manager Liu felt quite comfortable in his heart, with a sense of superiority from the provincial capital.

After all, except for Shangzhou, other cities in the province may find it difficult to experience this feeling of talent flood. Even if there is not much difference between Los Angeles and Shangzhou in other aspects, there is still a big gap in talent accumulation.

He is now gradually talking about sex, and then said.

"Actually, it's not just us today. There are quite a lot of companies coming to the platform, especially in some weak technology categories. In the job fairs held by the government, you can't help but invite people to come here to show off and give you a sense of presence. Let everyone know that there are still jobs available in this area.”

"Actually, these companies are just like us, they all recruit a few ideas to show their presence."

Seeing Shang Yansong listening seriously, Manager Liu continued: "Do you know how many companies are recruiting today? There are more than 150 companies, providing a total of more than 5000 jobs. On average, there are [-] jobs per family. .”

"But to be honest, after the job fair is over in a few days, it will be very good if we can sign 1 of them!"

As the two chatted, there were gradually more people around. They were all companies in the Internet industry in the province. Everyone gathered together to say hello to each other, and some people were too bored to listen to Manager Liu and Shang Yansong talking nonsense here.

Suddenly a person interjected: "Old Liu, this time your company has applied for several positions."

Manager Liu was obviously familiar with the other party, and he said with a smile, "Sign up to five, but recruiting two or three should be enough. Old Zhang, what about your company?"

Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Just like your company, if you apply for five, you may be fully recruited, or you may only recruit two or three!"

Next, several Internet companies in the vicinity talked about their quotas, three, five, seven, and eight, but none of them had more than ten.

Everyone chatted and joked for a while, Manager Liu saw that Shang Yansong never interrupted.

Can't help but ask curiously: "Brother, how many places did your company apply for?"

Shang Yansong hesitated for a moment, wondering if it would be too high-profile to say it. Seeing that no one around was looking this way, he said softly, "Sixty."

"What?" Manager Liu's voice was quite loud, as if suspecting that he had heard wrong, he asked again.

"How much did you report?"

The people around heard his exclamation and looked over one after another.

Seeing this, Shang Yansong thought that this kind of thing is nothing, everyone has no business relationship, and there is no competition.

Besides, these companies don't seem to be very active in recruiting, and there shouldn't be much competition for talents, so they said openly: "Sign up to sixty."

As soon as the words fell, the dozen or so Internet companies around were in an uproar, and they all looked over in surprise.

One person asked directly: "Why do you recruit so many people at once?"

In this job fair, everyone did not meet in advance. Even if you know the name of the other party's company, you may have never heard of it before, and you don't know what the other party does or what it does.

Except for companies in the same city who may have had occasional contact, they are all strangers to each other.

Shang Yansong was about to answer, when suddenly the person in charge of a relatively outside recruiting position came over, looked at Shang Yansong and asked, "Are you the Weiyang Technology company in Los Angeles?"

Shang Yansong smiled and said, "If there is no other company with this name in Los Angeles, it should be us."

The man hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "I've heard about Weiyang Technology's name for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to know it. I, Chen Hua, vice president of Luocheng Yunzheng Technology, what's your name?"

Shang Yansong also stepped forward and shook hands with him, saying, "Shang Yansong, Human Resources Director of Weiyang Technology."

The two were polite again and exchanged business cards.

The other two Internet companies that came here from Los Angeles heard Weiyang Technology's name, and the managers also came over to say hello to Shang Yansong and exchange business cards.

The people in charge of other companies around looked at each other for a while, is Weiyang Technology very powerful?Never heard of it!

Why did several companies in Los Angeles come forward to say hello upon hearing this name.

It's no wonder that everyone's knowledge is shallow. They are all small Internet companies of no scale, and they are distributed all over the province. They usually only pay attention to their own one-third of an acre of land.

What's more, Weiyang Technology is still in the stage of silent development. Even though Weiyang Weibo has more than [-] million users, most of the users are still readers.

The name is only circulated in some niche circles, and has not formed a national influence. No wonder everyone has never heard of it.
