Internet companies are caught up in the battle of the people who are more and more dog-blood.

Since 2008, internet companies have been caught up in the battle between the more and more dog-blood talent. In the talent war, some people grabbed gold, others just pushed up the bubble.

It can be imagined how fast an industry develops, and how much is there. Since 2008, internet companies have been caught in the story of more and more dog blood and the looting of the war difficult to extricate themselves. Especially after 2010, the arrival of the mobile era, electric dealers, group buying, social, hand tour and so on flourish, people really not enough, the need to dig people means endless.

Although there have been experts well-meaning: the internet talent bubble will eventually burst. But rumors of "millions of annual salaries" and "three times times wages" have never been increasing in the market. This year, the Hand tour and O2O rise, on a bit of the scale of the Internet companies must be circled a piece of land, only to have the nerve to say that the future has been a good layout. These two types of talent are now in hot demand. A director level above the figure, will be more than million yuan salary, is other industries 2-3 times.

So, some of the following stories may sound exaggerated, but we guarantee that they are basically facts.

Digging and digging are bat.

The big three of China's internet companies--Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent--are secretive about the flow of talent, but there are always ways to see it.

Since 2010, Taobao set up a "research and Development Center" in Beijing. According to people familiar with the situation, Alibaba set up the research and development center more like a "Corner center", the direct target is Baidu. And the main work of research and Development Center, is responsible for lobbying to contact Baidu and other companies ' technical backbone, and then try to transfer to the location of Taobao headquarters in Hangzhou.

One has been involved in Taobao recommended Baidu technology staff search revealed that now Taobao for the introduction of staff more and more high demand. Of the 20 persons recommended for each recommendation, no more than 5 people will normally pass the first interview. As a result of the introduction of standards, "internal recommended bonuses are also rising, from 2010 less than 8000 yuan to million yuan."

Baidu has been one of the most mobile companies in China's internet companies because its employees are often the target of being dug up. A former employee said that when he joined Baidu more than a year ago, its work number ranked after 40000, and recently listened to another to join Baidu's original work said, own employee number is close to 70000, actually Baidu's staff number only about 2000, this means, Baidu in 2 years time staff basically updated once ( Baidu's work number is unique and will not be taken over by a new person because someone is leaving. Therefore, there is a joke inside Baidu: The average age of Baidu employees is never more than 30 years old.

Baidu was dug in the corner of the time, also not idle.

2011, a company has cooperated with Baidu for more than 3 years, the search firm successfully completed the mobile Internet sector for Baidu's establishment. 70% of the talent the headhunter supplied to Baidu in 2010 was the traditional internet sector, 30% of the Mobile internet, and 2011 to 5:5. The total number of employees in the mobile sector swelled rapidly this year.

The source of such people, the preferred Tencent, Ali the corresponding departments of these large companies, "this kind of people are Baidu's favorite, because they can use", accounted for the overall source of 60%; Another major source is the professional type of small and medium-sized companies, such as Millet, UCweb, 3G portal.

The competition for mobile internet talent began in 2010.

According to a headhunter, Tencent had made such a condition at the end of 2010: If someone took UCWeb's offer to work directly to Tencent, wages would double; the company is said to have a passion for the net dragon, one of the first companies in China to enter the mobile gaming industry, The price is up to 4 times times the original salary.

Tencent later responded, saying that Tencent's employment system has set strict standards, there will never be another company to hire people to report the kind of trifling. But one person who left 360 in 2011 said that on the eve of the "3Q War" in the final months of 2010, Tencent did UCWeb and 360 of these companies. ”

What do you need?

Whenever a company needs to start a new business, or the current business development is not very satisfied, the first thing is to dig people. Digging into a team that has had relatively successful experience will not only bring great help to the company's business, but will also give itself an overweight in the capital markets, while gaining recognition from investors.

The so-called lack of what to fill.

2010, most of the Baidu employees into Alibaba, focused on Taobao and Aliyun, said specifically, is the search and database department. June 2011, Taobao part of the demolition into three companies: main Consumer-to-consumer platform Taobao Market, main platform Taobao shopping mall, as well as focus on the search technology a Amoy network.

May 2010, the former chief scientist Yang Taobao to join Taobao, hosted the design and development of Taobao information storage and real-time retrieval system. His research direction is the massive information processing and the algorithm design, this March 1 Taobao announced to the merchant, the Enterprise and the consumer to open from Taobao whole net original transaction data.

Tencent has been in order to do a good job, also has been Taobao, a shop, such as Electronic business platform directed to dig people. At that time, Tencent's attempts at E-commerce were obvious. It has invested in a number of business sites, including Xun, Tesco, and Ko Blue Diamonds, and has since the end of 2010 to create a new QQ mall. In the e-commerce market to dig people, Tencent aimed at the first target is naturally Taobao, and more generous than other companies. Middle and senior management, with Taobao or other business experience in the field, usually enter the company will have up to millions of or even tens of millions of options. Of course, if they have to work for 3 years, the option will become a real equity.

Taobao, of course, will not sit idly by. However, Taobao's average pay is not particularly prominent, nor is it easy to open two or three times times the salary. Unlike other E-commerce companies, Taobao is more willing to find talent in the traditional industry, to give it "with the traditional industry different development space."

Leave the big company

Salary is a very important factor and usually the first factor. But for small-business employees, the main temptation is bonuses and equity or options, even if the salary is not commensurate with bat. "A small company like ours, no pool of options, who's willing to work for you?" In the early days of the new venture, Yantan said.

More people can find a place in the new company that is more space and energy than the old club. Compared with Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba, the booming small and medium-sized enterprises are now more lookout.

A headhunter who has worked with Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba has revealed that the biggest poaching from these big internet companies is in fact those small and medium-sized technology start-ups. They take twice or even three times times their salaries, and also allocate options to draw a "hypothetical" pie to the person being dug.

In order to find a "pillar" from a large company. Small companies are sometimes more generous, the middle of large companies to small and medium-sized start-up companies, not only pay rise, but also often immediately become vice president. Of course, the rigid system of big companies also makes many people dissatisfied.

In 2011, Wu Yunyang, director of Hangzhou Research Center, who worked in NetEase for more than 10 years, resigned as the core of the power of NetEase research and development, and he had been directly involved in the research of NetEase "Dahua West Tour" and "Dream West Tour". In the resignation letter, Wu Yunyang expressed at that time NetEase research and development culture some dissatisfaction: Does the game project reduces the demand, duplicates a market examines the product, then completes the detail to be good, this kind of road is more safe, but this already "is not my heart to expect".

I'm a vicious competition.

At the beginning of 2011, as the competition intensified, the group buying website was in the limelight. Those who get the financing of the purchase site in the heart are playing the same abacus, burning money, digging people, big impact, rapid impact on the market.

In May 2011, litters CEO Xu Maodong announced a 200 million dollar investment, the beginning of large-scale mergers and acquisitions and digging around people, handles, glutinous rice, the United States are his goals. At this time, regardless of the success of the opponent to dig the corner, can enhance their strength, and to combat the morale of each other.

American Group Network takeaway project manager Peng recalls Xu Maodong tried to persuade him to change his job: "He asked me to go to Zhili Guild Hall to meet, one afternoon, we both talk, his people are waiting downstairs, don't come up." "Xu Maodong In addition to the absolute decentralization, Xu options, but also to Peng depicts a listing of cash, one-night wealth of the bright future."

When Xu Maodong learned that when the United States Group of Shanghai city manager Wang's mother, then in Wang hometown Taizhou local hired four best doctors to his mother to see a doctor. by July 2011, Xu Maodong announced a high-profile announcement on Weibo, with more than 100 people joining the litters group, general manager, City Manager and national sales champion.

In the crazy industry, a number of companies have just graduated from less than three years of the new million annual salary of the pioneering.

According to one person familiar with the matter, a competitor in the same network, while on a large scale, was deliberately renting another office opposite his office in order not to start a business but to focus on digging the local director of the same network.

And where to go CEO Zhungchengsu also since exposure, to get Baidu investment, specifically to carry ctrip to dig people.

When the industry has gone downhill, these high-profile poaching companies have had to slash jobs. Group purchase site High friends just after more than a year of rampant poaching, in August 2011, the national big layoffs, and a large number of people dug up even before the company to bring decent revenue.

Beware of the talent bubble

There is certainly a risk of job-hopping.

When Peng October 2010 to join Taobao, is considered in the sales, marketing and business operations have a wealth of experience, can help Taobao Mall to improve the business platform system. But less than a year, when the part of Taobao to split into three companies, Taobao mall manager became Taobao Mall president Zhang Yong and chairman Zeng.

Digging people more and more like a venture capital, but the probability of success is lower than the wind, the legendary maxima are rare.

In the first half of 2010, in order to develop its third party payment platform Sheng Business, Shanda Online began to pay treasure to dig people, some people do not hesitate to open the original company than twice times the salary. However, one person familiar with the matter said that these people did not play the intended role of simply relying on resumes, and the actual ability of the study was neglected.

There are many stories in troubled waters. Especially in the last two years hot up the group buying industry, "the street casually grabbed the person, the month becomes the big district manager, many knowledge can not keep up." The American Regiment COO Canga Wei said.

In fact, in the O2O field, some people into the company, 3 months will be self-righteous old employees, work 6 months to boast that their senior, work a year to think of themselves as experts. This, in addition to being impetuous, means a bubble.

Aware of this problem, internet companies have set up a huge HR team, on the one hand for the rapid expansion of the company's business quickly replenish talent, on the other hand, to strengthen the management and training of staff. Among them, Beijing East HR Department staff has nearly 400 people.

However, no longer powerful HR can not stop the flow of talent. In my writing this article, Micro Bo is someone to explode material, the original Sohu Editor-in-Chief, Phoenix Chinese front executive deputy Taiwan Chun joined Ali, responsible for film and television business.
