Episode 167 Drama (1)

During the foreign exchange crisis, Taewo Group sold many affiliates.

Especially the large shipbuilding, card, and mobile phone divisions.

Some of them returned to Taewo Group, but they still tried to downsize.

However, after the foreign exchange crisis ended, large-scale mergers and acquisitions began.

As large-scale business divisions such as batteries and semiconductors were acquired, the company grew even larger.

In addition, since Taewoo IT and other new business divisions were created, there was always a shortage of employees.

“Director, are the preparations for the first half of the year going well?”

“We are preparing for large-scale public recruitment. “Other companies are reducing the number of new hires, but Taewo Group is significantly increasing the number of new hires every year.”

The planning director’s voice was full of pride.

Taew Group and Samjin Group were the only conglomerates that achieved rapid growth despite the economic crisis of the foreign exchange crisis and credit card crisis, so they had reason to be proud.

“How many people do you plan to hire?”

“The more people we have, the better to make up for the lack of manpower, but 10,000 seems to be the limit when it comes to hiring quality manpower. Including public recruitment in the second half of the year, we are planning to hire as many as 20,000 new people this year alone.”

“How competitive will it be?”

“The difficulty in finding a job is getting worse every year, so the competition rate continues to increase. “It may vary depending on the affiliate, but we expect the ratio to be at least 80:1.”

“So, that means 800,000 people are applying to Taewo Group.”

The number of college students graduating every year was approximately 500,000.

Even if all of them applied, the number would not be 800,000.

It should have been seen that support was provided to people who graduated but could not find a job, graduated from foreign universities, or even people who wanted to change jobs.

“800,000 people may seem like a lot, but the number of people who fail to apply through documents is more than 30%. And in the first job test, only about 8 times is left. And in the second job test, only 2 to 3 candidates will be selected and interviewed. So, it must be said that the competition rate is comprised of quite a lot of imaginary numbers.”

“When the public recruitment begins, I want to see the resumes of all applicants.”

“Are you saying you want to look at 800,000 resumes?”

“I’m just going to skim through your resume, not your cover letter.”

“Is that possible?”

I quietly took out the calculator.

It takes approximately 1 minute to check the details of one person.

If we only checked whether the job ability was level A or higher, we could reduce it to 30 seconds.

Assuming you watch 800,000 pages for 30 seconds each.

Approximately 7,000 hours were needed.

It took 260 days to check 800,000 resumes.

Are you going to spend the whole year just checking resumes?

I was too greedy.

“All you need to do is send us the resumes of those who applied to Taewoo IT and Taewoo Electronics.”

“That’s at least 50,000 resumes.”

50,000 copies were enough to cover 17 days overnight.

I have to do my work and sleep, so it will probably take about a month.

“Bring everything with you. Also, among applicants from other affiliates, please send me the resumes of those who do not meet the requirements for passing the document, but have awards or outstanding records.”

“The human resources team will be displeased that the vice president is taking away the department’s work.”

It was the planning director who spoke with a smile.

When I was the president of another affiliate, getting involved in personnel matters was an act of overstepping my authority.

Now that he holds the position of vice president, he is fully qualified to do so.

“Well, it won’t change much if I see it. “At best, we’ll hire a few more people.”

“However, if hiring is not done through a fair process, it can become a problem.”

“You are saying that there will be no one within the group who will make a problem, but someone outside the group will make a problem.”

“There are quite a few politicians targeting Taewoo Group. “Especially after this presidential election, it is clear that there will be more politicians trying to bite Taewo Group.”

Since they did not provide funds for the presidential election, the political world is probably preparing for retaliation.

He was the head of the planning office who was worried that there would be an attack from the political world to tame the Taewo Group.

“We didn’t select our employees through lobbying or favors, so don’t worry too much about it.”

“All right. Then, as soon as I receive your resume, I will send it to the Vice President.”

There was no shortage of greed for talent.

If you’re going to pay the same salary, shouldn’t you hire employees with excellent abilities?

In order to do that, I will have to change time.

***

The open recruitment season began at the end of March.

A huge amount of applications came in, and as promised, the planning director sent me the resumes of all applicants who applied to Taewoo Electronics and IT.

Flutter, slither!

I started quickly scanning the resume.

Most of the applicants who were rejected did not have the skills I wanted, and as I got used to it, I got a knack for looking at detailed information and was able to go through resumes more quickly.

How many hundreds of pages did they pass?

Stop! For the first time, I came across a resume that stopped me in my tracks.

“Grade A programming skills!”

At Taewo IT, there were not many employees with A-level programming skills.

But among those who failed the document, there is one who has A-level programming skills!

I checked other parts of the resume and.

It was discovered that the applicant’s educational background was a high school diploma.

Since this open recruitment was aimed at college graduates, applicants with high school diplomas had no choice but to be excluded from the documentation.

It would be a shame to miss out on someone like this.

When I looked more closely at the details, I realized that he had not learned programming anywhere but had reached his current level through self-study.

What if a person like this even receives a proper education?

I guess I’m spending my precious time looking through resumes for people like this!

Flap! Slurp!

I took one page of my resume aside and started looking at it again.

Perhaps thanks to discovering the hidden gem, my eyes became clear again and my hands gained strength.

“Vice Chairman, would you like to go in and rest for today? “You look very tired.”

“It’s already been so long.”

I stayed up all night looking through my resume.

Finding gemstones was not easy.

There were coffee cups piled up on the desk, and I could feel caffeine flowing through my body instead of blood.

Through such efforts, only five people were saved.

All of them were applicants with A-level work ability, but they were unable to continue their studies properly due to problems such as family circumstances.

“Please let the five applicants here join the company.”

“I was thinking about it, why not hire them as interns first? That way, I don’t think there will be any problems in the future.”

It seems like the planning director also had a lot to worry about.

If you were hired as a full-time employee after being recognized for your abilities after joining the company as an intern rather than through a formal recruitment process, there would be no problem.

“That could work. “If you want to be the same as the person who passed the public recruitment, you can start working as an intern next month.”

“We will make arrangements so that the people selected by the vice president can receive training along with the next round of public recruitment.”

After a short conversation, we headed to the sauna.

After taking the sauna to get the caffeine out of my body and get three hours of sleep, I returned to work.

And again, flutter, flutter! I started looking through the resume.

Just finding the five gemstones is not enough.

What I was looking for was not an A-grade gemstone, but an S-grade gemstone.

I went through the resumes even faster, expecting that there must be an S-level talent hiding there who has the ability to support an affiliate.

About fifteen days had passed.

Now it takes less than 10 seconds to look at one resume.

When you’re scanning your resume like a machine!

“found!”

I finally found an S-class gemstone.

Even in a world with two S-class abilities, one of the world’s greatest geniuses was hiding in Korea.

You can’t have someone like this start working as an intern.

I took the S-rank gem’s resume and left the company.

I was surprised for a moment that the weather was getting warmer and the weather was getting warmer, so I headed to Captain Kang’s office.

“Representative, what’s going on? “Your face was very damaged.”

“More than that, I need this person’s information. Please ask for all the little information. “It’s urgent.”

“I will move my staff to Myeongdong and find out all the information within the morning!”

I handed my resume to Captain Kang.

I flopped down on the sofa and fell asleep.

“CEO! “I brought all the information about Cheon Min-jeong.”

“Cheon Min-jeong? ah! The name on the resume was Cheon Min-jeong. “But how many hours have I been like this?”

“You slept for 5 hours.”

It’s been 5 hours.

I felt like I slept for about 5 minutes, but the morning flew by.

Still, my body was definitely lighter than before I went to bed.

“Please briefly report Cheon Min-jeong’s information.”

“First of all, I am 21 years old and currently unemployed. “He earned excellent grades and swept computer-related competitions in high school, but his father’s business collapsed due to the foreign exchange crisis, and he had no money to pay for college applications.”

“If I had won the competition, I could have gotten a job anywhere, but I’m still unemployed.”

“Actually, I can’t say I’m unemployed. I was making money by making and selling my college graduation work. “I wasn’t looking for a job because I could make more money producing my graduation project than working at a small or medium-sized company.”

“I applied because I could earn more than that if I got a job at Taewoo Group.”

Captain Kang found out a lot of information in 5 hours.

From where you currently live, where your parents work, what your friends are, to criminal information that can only be found through the police and prosecutors.

“The police say they are currently keeping an eye on Cheon Min-jeong. “It seems that one of the students who was entrusted with the graduation work reported it to the police because he was not satisfied with the graduation work made by Cheon Min-jung.”

“If you report it, the student who entrusted your graduation work to you will also be disadvantaged, so you reported it?”

“The student’s father is a prosecutor at the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.”

I had a rough idea of ​​what the situation would be.

I don’t know what Cheon Min-jeong did wrong, but I think she probably hurt the pride of the prosecutor’s son.

“I want to meet Cheon Min-jeong. “Can we meet today?”

“Do you want to meet me as the vice president of Taewoo Group? Or are you trying to meet me as a representative?”

“I guess you could say it’s both.”

“All right. “I will bring you here so that we can meet later today.”

“Do not use extreme methods.”

“I will serve you respectfully.”

I went back to work.

Since I still had a mountain of resumes on my desk, I had to make good use of my spare time so I could look through them all before the recruitment season ended.

So I looked at resumes until 9 p.m.

After receiving a call from Captain Kang, I was able to meet Cheon Min-jeong at a quiet bar near the company.

As I entered the restaurant, Cheon Min-jeong jumped up from her seat and pointed her finger at me.

“The crown prince of Taewoo Group? “How can you get here?”

“Nice to meet you. “This is Kim Min-jae, Vice Chairman of Taewo Group.”

She suddenly grabbed my hand.

I looked at her face and checked the details again.

[Work skills: Programming S, Algorithm S, … … .]

As expected, he possessed two S-level work abilities.

It was also an essential skill to pursue the new business I was thinking of.
