Send umbrellas to Headhunters on rainy days-big talk Headhunters (1)

Arthur has been working in the R & D department of the same company for seven years after graduation. He has been a project manager for junior development engineers and has been working on more than a dozen projects. Now he leads eight R & D teams. Headhunting has frequently communicated with him recently, hoping that he will consider the opportunities of several foreign enterprise R & D directors. Arthur also wants to see new opportunities, but the recent big situation is not good, and the risk of Jump may be relatively high. So he called me and wanted to hear my opinion on "retired headhunting. Previously, he talked to me about headhunting and did not shy away from expressing the idea that headhunting is like a fly. Flies are always harassing him and the excellent team members. Actually, flies are useful.

 

At this time, there are still opportunities for headhunters to provide positions. This shows our excellence from a perspective. At the same time, I think the opportunities they provide should be good. You must know that the service charge paid to headhunting by a company for recruitment is mostly about 20%-30% annual salary for candidates. The position is not urgent or important, and enterprises will not consider headhunting.

 

First, I suggest Arthur not to reject the opportunity immediately as before, and then give a reply after carefully measuring the opportunity. At the same time, Arthur was asked to write down the specific consultant and contact information when contacting internationally renowned Headhunting companies for emergency purposes. On a sunny day, you 'd better prepare several umbrellas for yourself. In the future, it is best to repeat the opportunity gains and losses, and "weigh the advantages and disadvantages in all aspects" is more important than ever. Before the jump, we 'd better follow "Wait, wait, let's take a look at the principle of the company's big situation. Let's take a look at the old and happy colors of the old man's family and leave a loose saying "the east house, the wind outside, the rain, and I have the heart to break, if you don't want to do it, you can continue to do it well. "It is also a self-protection strategy under the crisis.

 

Finally, when we want to "change", we should talk to our headhunters to help us analyze the situation. This should be another protection to reduce risks. Most of the time, a candidate will receive all service fees three months after being hired. Therefore, headhunting also hopes that the candidates will have a stable and healthy development under the new company and opportunities.

 

Arthur is keeping in touch with his headhunters as I suggest, hoping to achieve his expectations.

 

Recently, we have discussed topics on job freezing, downsizing, and salary reduction due to poor economic conditions. Isn't there a good opportunity? Arthur also asked similar questions. I have communicated with several senior headhunters in the industry. Their point of view is relatively consistent, that is, the actual impact of the crisis on China is far less than the legendary severity-there are as many good opportunities as before, good candidates are the same.

 

You know, the headhunting industry will always be an industry that delivers umbrellas on rainy days. They will never help us when we are unemployed and looking for a job, they are some people who offer attractive opportunities when we don't want to "change", and make our hearts itch. Under the new economic situation, which industries, occupations, positions, specialties, and backgrounds are still the best choice of headhunters? The hunters are also redefining "good" companies and "good" candidates.

 

When the global economic situation declines, some industries that rely on Blood Transfusion will be immediately affected. In terms of the Internet, some companies that failed to find the actual profit model and had only some ideas in the past, such as typical websites without profit models, lost support from VC in the financial storm, there is no money to burn it, and it's not a good time. In the past, such companies used to ask headhunters to help them find high-end talents to show their faces to win VC's favor. In contrast, Internet enterprises with practical and effective website content and high adhesion will survive the storm and get better and better, and enterprises with core competitiveness will survive and get better and better. These enterprises are the focus of headhunting. This standard can be used for reference when we change jobs on our own.

 

The definition of a good candidate includes permanent education (a prestigious school), background (the best in foreign companies), and work performance (many major tasks ), in addition, the two new "utilitarian" Options recently added are: the elites in functional downsizing can help enterprises cope with the storm and create new situations as soon as possible.

 

Everyone should have heard of an Internet company abolishing its own software department. At that time, the company decided not to set up a software department, and related colleagues immediately resigned. Among the former employees, there are many experts and elites in the industry. The voices of these employees who are unemployed have not yet been put into practice. In a twinkling of an eye, they have become the opposite of headhunting. This may not happen in the prosperous age. Currently, the overall economic situation is poor. when many companies are cutting off their jobs, outstanding laid-offs have immediately become the focus of the headhunters. An ongoing hunting feast is underway.

 

Another kind of things that can help enterprises tide over the difficulties will also become a concern for enterprises and headhunters. "No one can do anything. A good sales is counted as one, and all should be recruited into the company. We should pay special attention to the talents of companies in the same industry ." This is a speech made by the President of a software development company at an internal meeting of the company. His words may also represent some of the demands and orientations of the company. Today, people who can quickly create value and create new situations for enterprises in the short term will be greatly valued in the crisis.

 

In short, in the midst of a crisis, in a cruel environment, it is difficult to adapt to the situation and can only be eliminated. Enterprises, headhunters, and employees will quickly develop new survival strategies suitable for themselves, so that they can develop better.
