Chapter 27 New Employee Onboarding
Take the drivers for example. The Lin Group had initially selected a few of them. Qin Shuang arranged them in order according to the scores given by the Lin Group's human resources.
Lin Ruoyan chose the last person Qin Shuang had chosen, a man named Zhan Li. He was a veteran with a disability in his left lower limb, a prosthetic leg below the knee, and a military disability certificate. Although a disabled person with a left lower limb could drive an automatic car, who would pay a driver with a disability?
Lin Ruoyan respected soldiers the most. In real life, when her hometown was hit by a flood, it was the soldiers who rushed to the rescue and protect the people. She admired the spirit of those soldiers who fought to the death, even if they were injured and bleeding, and would not let the people suffer injustice.
Besides, I already have several drivers at home, so what if the company sets up a driver position and just keeps it there as a decoration? If the company needs to use a car for something, it will always need a dedicated driver.
The other is an assistant who speaks fluent English and can drink. There's a handsome guy on my resume who excels in both of these areas and is also very good-looking. He has a college degree and majored in Business English.
Lin Ruoyan didn't like him. If he was really talented, how could he waste his time in her company?
Besides, why is this person's expected salary so low? One person with multiple skills does the work of two people. Even if she offers two salaries, she can only cover social security for one. Furthermore, the workload is too heavy, and her perceived salary is questionable. It completely aligns with her vision for the company. Don't let this hinder their career. She should look for someone else.
So she picked a young man named Feng Qiang, who had the guts to list only his drinking skills and understanding of drinking culture among his specialties. He looked older than his age, had only a technical secondary school education, and used to be a bag carrier for a certain leader. He eventually quit because he couldn't stand the seniority-based system in state-owned enterprises. He had been idle ever since, ready to take on a new position at any time.
She valued this person because his ideal salary was the highest among all those with similar qualifications, a fixed salary of 2,500 yuan per month. If his business trips and accompanying guests exceeded his working hours, he had to take compensatory leave.
This is in line with the company's vision, this is exactly what we want.
As for the candidate who was fluent in English, Lin Ruoyan chose another woman. She had even passed the CET-8 English test, but because she only graduated from a vocational high school, she applied for positions other than assistant and receptionist. The Lin Group didn't hire her because she didn't wear makeup during the interview. When the HR department asked her why, she said she didn't wear makeup and couldn't afford it.
Lin Ruoyan had a vague impression of the girl, Hua Mengmeng. She seemed to be a capable assistant to Li Yiqi when she started a company in the future. Her family was poor, so she didn't go to high school. Her family had an alcoholic and abusive father who forced her to work to earn money. The book explains that if Li Yiqi hadn't taken Hua Mengmeng in and helped her escape the shadow of her family, this girl might have ended up in a desperate situation.
Li Yiqi is now fully focused on studying medicine abroad, and it seems that he will not start a company so soon, so Lin Ruoyan thought about placing Hua Mengmeng in her own company first. She couldn't just leave this girl with no way out.
For the other two receptionists, Lin Ruoyan chose a man and a woman who looked attractive and were registered as Beijing natives. Both were in their early twenties, but had two or three years of front desk experience. They asked for a higher salary than those with less experience, but their specialties were blank, and there was nothing else to suggest they were special about.
Qin Shuang pondered why Lin Ruoyan didn't choose a receptionist with some special skills? Wouldn't someone who could sing and dance, write and draw, or know photography be great? Wouldn't such a colleague be needed to liven up the atmosphere when organizing company events in the future?
How could she know that Lin Ruoyan was already a little tired when she saw this, and she only picked the ones from the front desk candidates who she thought looked good and had the highest expected salary. It just so happened that these two were local people from Beijing.
Lin Ruoyan instructed that if these people were willing to come, they would be hired directly. If they had already found other jobs, they would be contacted later according to her ranking.
Qin Shuang did as he was told and notified the above-mentioned persons by phone.
It turned out that none of them had stable jobs. They were either idle at home, working odd jobs like selling goods at supermarkets, or serving dishes in restaurants. Without exception, none of them asked about their salary. So when Qin Shuang said that he would sign a contract based on the salary they mentioned in their job applications, they almost immediately said that they would start work the next day.
Qin Shuang calculated the progress of the office decoration. He was still laying electrical wires and building partition walls these two days. Some furniture would be needed the day after tomorrow at the earliest. So he thought that he might as well wait until the day after tomorrow to accompany the boss to confirm the furniture, and then arrange for the employees to start work. It was almost the end of the month, so it would be okay to start bringing in new people from next month.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoyan said, "How can this be possible? They said they can start work immediately and are full of work enthusiasm. How can we refuse them? First, we can rent a conference room in the five-star hotel next door and complete the onboarding procedures there. We can let them start work after the office is renovated."
Qin Shuang said in embarrassment: "But, we haven't decided on the person in charge of the Human Resources Department yet."
Lin Ruoyan was a little sleepy after reading so many resumes, so she said, "For the HR candidate, why don't you consult with the HR department of the Lin Group? Once you're sure, just let me know."
Qin Shuang couldn't help but admire Miss Lin's intelligence and insight. Wang Kui had heard that President Lin was very concerned about Miss Lin's real estate company and was providing immediate support with all resources. For such an important department as the Human Resources Department, President Lin would definitely be more assured by using people recommended by the Lin Group.
Once the HR and President's Office people are on the job, at least there will be someone to share the responsibilities of office renovation and some miscellaneous chores and social events before and after the land auction next week.
Miss Lin is really an expert!
So although her selection criteria are special, they must have a deeper meaning.
Qin Shuang went to the five-star hotel next door that Lin Ruoyan mentioned, rented a medium-sized conference room, and planned to make a roll-up sign in advance that would read "Lin's Real Estate Company New Employee Signing and Induction Conference."
She originally planned to decorate the venue simply, using the mineral water, banknotes and other supplies provided free of charge by the hotel where she rented the conference room, and asked Wang Kui to go to the Lin Group to print the labor contract for free, and then she could bring it over herself.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoyan said that although there were not many people joining the company, the first batch of employees was of great significance. The office had not been renovated yet, and in order to let everyone have a good impression of the company, the sense of ceremony must be strong.
A conference room this size would be fine, but you should also add refreshments and make it a small banquet. Also, put a sign and a box for collecting resumes at the door, just in case someone comes to recommend themselves.
Qin Shuang thought it made sense. He realized that renting a five-star hotel conference room for the onboarding event was also a marketing move for his real estate company. Compared to the venue rental, a small dinner party was actually not expensive. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Only by building a good company image in the early stages can talented people come to you later.
So she worked overnight to create job recruitment posters, along with materials for the induction meeting. Since Ms. Lin had no control over costs and had given her 200,000 yuan in cash upfront, she didn't have to pay for it herself. After fully understanding her boss's intentions, she naturally had to strive for perfection, making all the materials look extremely high-end and perfect.
