Game industry key Talent Scramble

Zhang Day wide since 8 years ago into the game industry, now the 30-year-old Zhang Fumao has become the industry's one-shot "old gun." 2007, has served in Jinshan, Sina Games Business Department Zhang Fumao resigned, set up Beijing game Valley Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Game valley), six months later, its first web game "Hero Gate" in the Grand 18 plan was Chen Fancy, sold 5 million yuan Price, a year later, The game valley has also got the qiming venture capital and the thought Wei invests a total of 10 million dollars risk investment, has become the homepage game industry to date the biggest single investment.　　Now, Game Valley under the same time to promote the development and operation of 7 games, it is understood that Tencent technology in the recent shares of the young online gaming company, its current valuation of about 200 million U.S. dollars. Today, Zhang Fumao's CEO office is larger than the size of the entire company when it comes to entrepreneurship, leaning against the sofa, Zhang Fumao told reporters that over the years he was most worried about the matter has not changed, that is: "One day, a brother suddenly came to tell me that he would like to start his own business."　　"In this one person may affect a game, a team may affect a listed company performance of the industry, poach and Job-hopping has become a timed play, Zhang Fumao's" most worried ", almost all the game company bosses nightmares, and a variety of management model changes behind the core, but also the competition for people. "The current slowdown in the industry will only aggravate the flow of core personnel." The original cake every day to become a big circle, casually do also have the opportunity, now the cake is so large, to maintain growth, can only rely on the most professional people.　　"Zhang Fumao said. The so-called key talent, in addition to dominate the production of the game, but also include the "main" head of the Post: Master planning, the main program, the main art, etc. (relevant explanations, please refer to the "Differentiation or assembly line" a article on the game research and development of the job description). As a qualified game producer, first of all need to have the ability to build a team, by virtue of their own contacts, can be set up quickly after the project team, at the same time, but also have the concept of cost, very strong coordination and control, capacity should not have too obvious short board. Such producers are often produced from the planning process, a small number from the technical link.　　Currently, 5 of the 7 producers who are pushing the game valley are planning backgrounds. Last year, a total of six companies have invested in the Pine Wo Capital Management Co., Ltd. Investment director Zhang Chunhui said, looking at the project, investors more value the ability of the Master planning. According to the introduction, this "ability" includes "to the game, to the product understanding, as well as to the matter investment degree and so on". Zhang Chunhui that in the seed stage of the game company, the main planning is often the core of the company and the project, and art, program team can be outsourced to digest the talent pressure. According to Zhang Chunhui's experience, online gaming companies in the early days of entrepreneurship "would like to have a more ideal team partner is unlikely", because most of the outstanding talent in the original company has a better position and equity,Therefore, as an investor, he mainly according to the "Make a combination" of the investment concept, in the investment projects, the exchange and deployment of high-quality resources. "We tend to choose the person who has the main planning background, so the product will have a soul from the start, you know, this product is his." In this line, the number of excellent game producers is very small, not more than 200, most of them are vice president of large companies, difficult to shake easily.　　"Zhang Fumao said. In the game market is increasingly hot behind, is the rapid flow of talent has become a normal reality.　　Although there has been no shortage of opportunities in the market, but for the game valley such a scale of companies, in order to avoid the risk of finding the right producers, often choose to give up the project directly. A few years ago, the local headhunting firm, Branch International, was only sporadically picking up some of the game companies ' listings, but doubling revenues each year gave it a glimpse of the industry's potential.　　This year, under its High-tech industry group, Branch Rui specially formed the internet and the game industry team, of which, there are nearly 15 headhunting more concentrated service in the game market. "This year's income is now twice times that of 2009, the fastest growth in all sectors." "Zhang Ze, senior management consultant for High-tech industry, said. In his resume, the game's grass-roots developers on average every 8 months will be a slot, with the "main" word of the staff, generally not more than 2 years.　　In the industry as a whole is in an upward trend, it is difficult to change the high flow of talent through management changes. Zhang Ze told reporters that at present, the top of the large online gaming companies, most of the recruitment work to headhunting, in the start-up of the game company, hiring often rely on the founder of the network, "to find a good relationship between the frat", but when the scale continues to expand, the founder of the network after the use of　　"Treatment" and "opportunity" are the two most valued conditions when researchers choose jobs.　　At present, in the game valley with the "main" head of the research and development staff and its next level of Executive Director, are recruited through headhunting, for Zhang Fumao, this is a lot of budget, a year down, single dig people's expenses, often need 1 million or 2 million yuan. Even in the battle for talent, Zhang Fumao still feels sluggish, in fact, the size of the game valley is often a tradeoff for talent: offering more space than a big company, and a smaller risk than starting a business.　　The problem, however, is that once the talent is polished and matured in large spaces, it is often a step forward to start a business. "Each big net swims the company all has the investment department, the joint operation and so on pattern also matures gradually, therefore, in the net swims this profession, the entrepreneurial threshold is not high, but also has the success precedent, the entrepreneurial enthusiasm is far higher than other professions."　　"Zhang Ze said. In Zhang Fumao view, with a more flexible mechanism, a greater degree of grasp of "people", but also Shanda and other online games companies, the implementation of producer system, investment within the team, to give a higher proportion of the reasons.　　For now, Zhang Fumao also plans to introduce such controls into Game Valley. "By stopping Ken aloneMust be unstoppable, you really want to start a business, then I will invest in you. ”
