Chapter 916 Recruiting troops
With Jiang Wan's insistence, the responsibility of recruiting people fell on Editor-in-Chief Zhang.
Since a round of recruitment had already been conducted, almost everyone Editor-in-Chief Zhang knew had come for an interview.
The person he is most optimistic about is Chai Hongyu, who has now been poached.
Although the remaining editors were okay, they lacked abilities in certain areas, and he always felt that something was missing.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang now has very strict requirements, and he hopes that everyone under him has strong personal abilities.
They can both review manuscripts and write their own manuscripts, so that the magazine will never have any gaps at any time.
When the magazine was not well-known, it could only offer shares to attract others.
Now, after some development, both magazines have become somewhat famous.
This newly opened magazine, in particular, became famous in just one month because of its stylish articles.
Now all the shares of the new magazine have been divided up by them, and anyone who comes next will definitely not get any.
Under such circumstances, it will be difficult to find editors as good as before.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang spent three days trying to find the right person.
He contacted the people he had recruited before. Some of them had already found jobs, and some asked him if they had shares.
After all, shares were given when we first recruited, and if we don’t give them now, we won’t be able to attract outstanding talents.
But under the current circumstances, this really cannot be given, and all that is left is a headache.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang has been rubbing his head in frustration these past few days, unable to think of a way out of the impasse.
As the time for Jiang Wan to leave was getting closer, he hadn't solved the problem at all.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang had a severe headache, and Jiang Wan also fell into silence.
But she was busy with her own things most of the time, and even if she wanted to think, she would think secretly in her heart.
She is aware of the difficulties that Editor-in-Chief Zhang is currently facing.
It's just that these people want shares, and simple salary cannot attract great talents.
Jiang Wan still had to typeset an issue before she left, so she simply added a statement.
"We will recruit excellent editors, offer reasonable salaries and good benefits. When we open a new magazine later, those who are capable can be transferred there to be editors-in-chief and receive dividends from the magazine."
Jiang Wan's behavior is equivalent to drawing pie in the sky, but it is not impossible to achieve. Everything depends on ability.
Jiang Wan also pushed Editor-in-Chief Liu out at the right time. After all, he is a good example.
From the very beginning, he was fired by Wu Hongcai and his salary was withheld, but now he has become the editor-in-chief of Zhiji Magazine.
The most important thing is that he did buy shares in the new magazine, but because he didn't have enough money, the shares he bought were not many.
But compared to many people, he is already a winner in life.
From this aspect, it can also be seen that all the editors of Zhiji Magazine are people who keep their words and can fulfill their promises.
As soon as this news was released, many editors called.
Many people have expressed interest, but some live too far away and it is not very convenient for them to come over.
Jiang Wan first conducted a brief interview with them over the phone as a basic screening before deciding whether to let them come.
Jiang Wan was busy with this matter the whole day. In order to find a suitable partner, she screened a total of 5 people for interviews.
According to the current plan of the magazine, at most three of these five people can stay.
This shows that Jiang Wan treated this matter very seriously and did not think of wasting their time at all.
These five people were carefully selected by her and will undergo further interviews later.
The acceptance rate for those who are able to come here is very high, but whether they can really stay in the end depends on their performance on site.
The editors who were interviewing were also aware of this situation, so they all came very quickly.
Some editors even asked for leave and came here directly after hanging up the phone.
Some didn't even have time to pack their luggage, and those who lived nearby came over that afternoon.
They worked at an astonishing speed because they all felt that their magazine had great potential.
Everyone agreed that this new magazine was not recruiting just employees, but future partners.
Everyone who comes here is very confident in their abilities, especially when seeing such a good opportunity, everyone wants to grab it.
In fact, in such a game, when the abilities are almost the same, the person who is interviewed earlier has the greater advantage.
We are all smart people, so of course we will grab the opportunity tightly and refuse to let it go no matter what.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, an unkempt man rushed over.
The man had long hair and wrinkled clothes, and he looked very casual.
To be honest, the first impression this person gave when he first came in was that he was down and out. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was not doing well.
Jiang Wan had no prejudice and directly asked Xiaomei to take him to the reception room to wait for the interview.
Because they attach great importance to their partners, no matter how busy they are at work, they will go to the interview together.
The two of them sat there, looking somewhat dignified.
The new editor may be used to a free and easy life and now feels a little cramped.
But he quickly calmed himself down, looked at them seriously and spoke.
"Just start asking whatever questions you want."
The originally tense atmosphere became as tense as if they were interrogating a criminal after he said that.
Jiang Wan didn't bother with the details. He just nodded and started asking questions.
The interview process this time is similar to the previous ones, mainly to test the editor's overall ability from multiple dimensions.
First is the basic knowledge, then the reviewing ability, and finally the writing level.
By conducting interviews step by step like this, as long as the author can meet the requirements in all aspects, he or she will have strong abilities.
When Editor-in-Chief Zhang saw that the interviewer was so sloppy, he didn't take it seriously at first.
However, they didn't expect that after the interview started, this plain-looking man could answer all their tricky questions one by one.
When I asked him to review the manuscript, he did it quickly and well, and the comments he gave were very professional.
This man passed four levels in a row, and the last level was writing a manuscript with a topic set by Editor-in-Chief Zhang himself.
The man pondered for a moment and soon immersed himself in writing.
He writes at a rapid pace, requiring little thought.
If the questions had not been given on the spot by Editor-in-Chief Zhang, they would have suspected that he had come prepared.
This person came the fastest and had very strong abilities, which dazzled people and even made them breathless.
The agreed time was to write an excellent short story within an hour. The title was given by the temporary editor-in-chief Zhang, and no one knew it until he said it.
