Not only do they not lay off employees, but they are also desperately recruiting people.

Recently, several companies have reported layoffs from time to time. Some laid off employees and even cut jokes. Some people don't want to be laid off at first, but when they find that the compensation is very rich, they are eager to be laid off.

But contrary to layoffs, other industries are quite eager to recruit people. While waiting for the job seeker, I tried my best to keep the staff.

If you have experienced some job hunting winters, you may wish to look at these hot and eager recruitment stories.

The season for eating crayfish is coming again.

Even the most experienced crayfish eat food, they will be afraid of this red "lobster sea" in the factory-thousands of crayfish rolled down the assembly line, washed and cooked by machines, and sent to the shrimpers in baskets.

You may have heard that shrimp cooking has long been a popular major in some colleges. This year, the graduates of "Crawfish College" in Qianjiang, Hubei Province were booked out before graduation. Not only shrimpers are popular, but also "shrimpers". China eats more than one million tons of crayfish every year, including lobster rice and other shrimp meat products that need to be peeled by shrimp workers. /kloc-what is the concept of 0/100,000 tons of lobster? If we calculate that there are 20 crayfish per kilogram, and each lobster is 10 cm long, these lobsters can be discharged from the earth to the moon and come back from the moon, so that they can go back and forth twice.

The enthusiasm for eating shrimp, coupled with the scarcity of shrimpers, makes the price of crayfish shrimp go up all the way. Because most of the shrimpers are women, the owner of the shrimp factory does not hesitate to use the "honey trap" when recruiting-"There are many single beautiful women in the factory, and you are welcome to choose a spouse in the factory".

It is not easy to peel shrimp. Jassamyn Liu, a 25-year-old, has been working in Anqing, Anhui Province for three years. At work, she holds a pair of tweezers in her right hand and holds a shrimp in her left hand: remove the shrimp head for 0.5 seconds, open the shrimp shell with tweezers for 0.5 seconds, pull out the shrimp meat 1 second, remove the shrimp line for 0.5 seconds, and throw it into the light-colored basket with shrimp meat in front for 0.5 seconds. The whole process takes 3 seconds.

As the fastest local shrimper, she earns 9000 yuan a month by peeling crayfish. Seeing that the crayfish season is approaching, there are still hundreds of shrimps in the factory.

"It's too difficult to recruit people." Jassamyn Liu said. Shrimp peeler is not only a manual work, but also a technical work, and it is paid by piece. The good news is that the price of shrimp has gone up again this year, and the salary of peeling 1 kg shrimp meat has risen from 9 yuan to 10 yuan. But not everyone can earn Jassamyn Liu's salary, because every 3 Jin of shrimp can peel out 1 Jin of shrimp meat.

The size of crayfish is divided into four grades, 1 maximum and 4 minimum. A catty of second-class shrimp balls generally contains about 150 shrimps. In order to earn 9000 yuan a month, you have to peel 65438+ ten thousand shrimps a month.

Peeling 65,438+10,000 shrimps a month is not all the difficulties in this business. Shrimp peeling requires standing all the time, but the peak season is generally only four months, and the rest of the time must be filled with other jobs. In addition, the whole factory is filled with the smell of cooked crayfish, as fierce as the sea breeze.

Jassamyn Liu never eats spicy crayfish because he is tired of too many flavors.

Not many people want to be shrimpers. The factory in Jassamyn Liu once recruited a crayfish lover. Later, due to the slow speed of peeling shrimp, I only earned more than 3000 yuan a month and left by myself. Others faint at the smell of the factory.

The boss is also worried that this trend will continue, and if he can't recruit people next year, he will have to raise his salary and the price of shrimp will rise accordingly.

Zhou Yang, the owner of an electronics factory in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, found that after the New Year, only 10 employees came back, even the doorman quit. "I used to fantasize that I could come back half and then recruit half. Now I have to recruit people from scratch. "

Every year, Zhou Yang is particularly afraid. For example, during the promotion period of 6 18, the factory was in urgent need of manpower, but at this time, employees always asked for leave, saying that the wheat in their hometown was ripe and they had to go back to harvest. "If you don't agree, the other party will resign directly on the spot, but I am not good at recruiting people, so I can only approve it." Also, after the Spring Festival, he called several young people who did well, and the other party said that they had quit the assembly line and sent takeout instead.

Li Haoran, born in 1997, was an employee of Zhou Yang last year. This year, he has his own ideas. He summed up six "don't do it": "Don't do it standing up, don't do it stinking in the factory, don't do it noisy, don't do it in a poor dormitory environment, and don't do it without WIFI and air conditioning."

So Li Haoran really quit, because he found that his "six quit" almost ruled out all assembly line work. However, he is not worried about not having food, because he can also deliver takeout and express delivery.

In order to keep the workers, the boss Zhou Yang also took great pains. For example, he deliberately added a number of husband and wife rooms to the staff dormitory. Instead of bunk beds, there is a double bed with curtains. Moreover, he has repeatedly lowered the recruitment requirements. Recruited people under the age of 40 three years ago, 1 years ago. Now anyone under 55 can do anything.

On one occasion, he thought that to improve the quality of workers, he wrote "no tattoos" in the recruitment notice, but afterwards he found that the number of applicants had been directly reduced by half and he simply turned a blind eye.

Even so, I still can't recruit anyone. This year, the gap of workers is too big, so he can only entrust a labor service company with a commission of 2000 yuan for each recruit.

It is almost an unspoken rule for labor-intensive enterprises to give commissions to their work. Workers generally call it "kickback". From Foxconn to small factories in some coastal cities, they will stipulate how long they work and how much they will get in return, so as to retain employees. If you don't follow such rules, the factory can't recruit workers. But this has brought a bad result: often at the moment of getting the rebate, it is the moment when employees leave the factory. The brain drain is faster.

For Zhou Yang, it is only difficult to recruit people this year, and it is not completely impossible. Zhang Jinfang's sanatorium in Handan, Hebei Province may be closed at any time. Her nursing home faces rural groups, with a monthly income of 2,700 yuan, and most of them take care of elderly people who are semi-self-care or unable to take care of themselves.

But there are many elderly people, but there is a shortage of nurses. Once she waited for an interview with a 26-year-old girl for the first time. Before that, the youngest nurse in her nursing home was 55 years old, so she was willing to pay 4500 yuan to keep the girl. This figure is much higher than the local average wage level.

"2 hours." Zhang Jinfang remembers very clearly, "This girl left after working for 2 hours."

She can also make sense, because the nurses in the nursing home are too tired. Nurses work at least 12 hours a day, and sometimes stay up all night at night. If an old man rings the doorbell, he should see the situation as soon as possible. Most old people wake up early, get up at 6 o'clock, and help them wash and dress one by one. Generally speaking, each care worker has to take care of seven elderly people. Every day, he just takes turns chatting, walking and feeding, and time is already very crowded. At night, some old people have to be euthanized, otherwise they can't sleep.

In nursing homes, caregivers who take care of the elderly are generally older. Figure/vision china

Today, there are 40 elderly people in the nursing home in Zhang Jinfang, and only 6 nursing workers. She often feeds and washes the old people. Sometimes, the old man is incontinent, and she has to clean up. When people are really old, dignity often becomes a luxury, and what Zhang Jinfang has to do is to give them the last dignity.

In the face of old people, she often feels a feeling of empathy. "When you see them, you will always remember that you are old."

Her dream is to retire in her own nursing home when she is old.

If "what to do when you are old" is not a problem that young people need to consider, then another industry with a shortage of personnel is related to the physical and mental health of many people.

Li Yan is a psychiatrist in a 3A hospital in Zhejiang. His hospital has not been able to recruit new psychiatrists for three years, and the doctor resources are very scarce, and the number of registered doctors is limited. "20 in the morning and 20 in the afternoon."

In addition to psychiatry, pediatrics also has a big doctor gap. Li Yan said, "There are many night shifts in pediatrics, and it is almost impossible to rest. There are always patients, and family members are prone to lose their temper. Moreover, pediatrics does not make money, because children use small doses of drugs and are common diseases at the same time. Isn't there an old saying in China,' This is too naive', so fewer people are willing to be pediatricians. " .

Money is not everything. Even if you give enough money to some jobs, you may not be able to recruit the right people, such as the artificial intelligence industry. Cheng Zilong, who works in the artificial intelligence industry in Beijing, said, "Even if the annual salary is one million, it is difficult to recruit someone who really understands artificial intelligence." .

Of course, at present, China and foreign countries are on the same track, and there is a shortage of artificial intelligence talents all over the world.

Other industries that are at the forefront, some are too high to be cold. Zhou, who works for a short video company in China, said that they are recruiting people now, on the one hand, from the video shooting and production industries such as traditional TV stations. "These people are relatively easy to recruit, because most of the traditional media are depressed, so just give more money."

But what is really difficult to recruit is what they think is "someone who has a sense of network, knows how to plan marketing and can shoot editing."

This is an era in which eyeballs are paramount, and the most precious thing is human attention. What attracts traffic now is not making beautiful movies. "Many times when editing videos, we have to deliberately leave a gap for the audience to vomit, which can narrow the distance." Whether we can accurately grasp this "slot" is a direct reflection of whether we have a sense of network.

"You can't find such a major in college, because no one will teach you what it's like to feel online." Zhou said to him.

Some companies have to recruit people from their competitors because they can't recruit suitable people. "Everyone dug each other and finally raised the wages of the industry. As a result, after spending a lot of money, talents are still lost. "

If someone leaves, someone stays. In a garment factory in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, Liu Jing worked from 14 to 22. In her eight years of youth, she has been doing one thing-sewing clothes. The Bruce four-thread sewing machine she operates has been with her for many years, and she is skilled enough to sew a collar blindfolded.

March and April are the busiest seasons for garment factories to make summer clothes every year. She has to work 14 hours a day. Because sitting on a stool for a long time hurts her ass, she always puts a piece of cloth with a thickness of 10 cm. Because of her skillful craftsmanship, her monthly income in peak season can reach 15000 yuan. This is the place where she will be happy every time she thinks about it. "Although I didn't even finish high school, my salary is much higher than my peers."

But she would also think, "Do I have to sew collars all my life?"

It is a little comforting that if she leaves this factory, any clothing factory will try its best to get her, even though she is just doing the same job as before.

No one will be too advanced, and no one will work too hard and tired. But no matter which industry, the most sought-after people are always skilled people. Even if you only bring a baby, in Beijing, you can get more than 20 thousand salary a month with a gold medal.

Jia Shuguang, a plumber, was in Beijing 12 years. At the beginning of Beipiao's life, he was just a general worker, earning less than 3,000 yuan a month, and often wanted to give up. Fortunately, he survived and finally caught up with a good time when skilled plumbers were scarce and his salary rose year after year. "There are fewer and fewer young people willing to do this, so we old people are very popular." Last year, his daily income as a plumber reached 500 yuan.

This year, he became a foreman and began to hire some people to help him. But he found it too difficult to find a reliable plumber and had to make an appointment one month in advance.

He still finds it easier to get started than to recruit people.
