Xiaomi recruitment experience

"When Xiaomi joined the automobile industry, the involution of car companies really began." A traditional car company employee expressed such a sigh for the establishment of Xiaomi Automobile.

Xiaomi Auto was officially announced less than a week ago. On a social platform in a workplace, there are more than 300 discussion posts in "Xiaomi Auto Job-seeking Mutual Aid Group". With the news that Xiaomi Automobile has officially settled in Beijing, pushing, interviewing and submitting resumes have become hot topics discussed by the group recently.

According to rough statistics, the labels of the participants in the group are employees or former employees of automobile factories such as Weilai, Geely, Changan Automobile, General Motors, SAIC, FAW-Volkswagen, Guangzhou Automobile, Hyundai Motor, Skycar and BAIC, as well as practitioners of automobile supply chain enterprises such as Pan Asia, Bosch and ZF. The core of the discussion is about the situation of submitting resume, interview progress and salary.

According to reports, some headhunters said that Xiaomi digs people and pays 20%-30% higher than the market. Xiaomi, who announced to build a car in the first half of this year, seems to have become one of the "best employers" in the automobile circle.

There must be a brave man under the heavy money. Is there a direct relationship between high salary and "building a good car"?

Incentive or involution?

Recently, Hu Zhengnan, president of Geely Automobile Research Institute, announced his participation in Shunwei Capital in a circle of friends. This institution is a venture capital institution founded by Lei Jun and Xu Dalai in 20 12, and Hu Zhengnan is an investment partner. In addition to announcing the latest status, Hu Zhengnan also advertised that "there are good projects and innovative technologies, which are welcome to recommend."

Geely's technology "Daniel" jumped into Xiaomi, which is just the tip of the iceberg. It is worth mentioning that in Hu Zhengnan's advertisement, Xiaomi attaches great importance to innovative technology.

According to the information on the recruitment website, Xiaomi's salary range in Shanghai is 30-60K and 14, and the positions are mainly in charge or backbone of R&D and technology, among which candidates are required to have 5- 10 years of work experience. Tesla, who is also in Shanghai, has a salary of 30-60k for some technical posts requiring 5- 10 years of work experience, and 20-40K for some technical posts requiring 3-5 years of work experience. Compared with Tesla, the salary range offered by Xiaomi Automobile is basically the same.

In addition, on the day of the official announcement of Xiaomi Automobile, Lei Jun announced that Xiaomi Automobile had formed a team of 300 people. It is understood that part of the team comes from internal transfer and part from external recruitment. The internal transfer personnel require that the original work should focus on technology and research and development, and the external transfer personnel should also focus on technical positions, such as Hu Zhengnan of Geely.

According to Xiaomi's official disclosure, Xiaomi Automobile has received more than 20,000 resumes since its recruitment, and only 300 people have completed the recruitment. Among them, a netizen said that he just got Xiaomi offer, which said, "Xiaomi option belongs within five years, and the exercise must meet three milestones." In response to this condition, another netizen commented that "this method is definitely more important than Weilai, Tucki and Ideals that have already been listed, depending on whether you are willing to believe in Xiaomi."

Five years requires three milestones, that is to say, if you want to join Xiaomi Automobile to achieve rapid growth of wealth through options, the premise must be that you believe that Xiaomi Automobile will succeed and be prepared for a long-term battle.

Other automobile companies, such as Geely, Great Wall and Lan Tu, have also started the defense of Xiaomi's talents.

On the day before Xiaomi Automobile was founded, Geely Automobile announced that "the board of directors of the company passed a share incentive plan with a total amount of no more than 350 million shares ..... The first batch of 10884 people won about 654.38+67 million shares." In addition, there is a family health insurance plan for all employees, that is, accident/serious illness insurance for employees and immediate family members. Great Wall Motor granted 397 10 10000 stock options to 8784 incentive objects, and granted 43 184000 restricted shares to no more than 586 incentive objects, covering more than 50%. Lan Tu's core cadres will have the right to hold at least 10% of the shares of Lan Tu Automobile, and FAW even put forward the goal of increasing the per capita income of employees to more than 1.8 million yuan. In addition, Guangzhou Automobile Aian, which recently announced the mixed reform, also said that "employee stock ownership will be carried out to further stimulate the vitality of the system and mechanism."

"Geely paints cakes too much." Some netizens commented on Geely's "common prosperity" plan. "Converted into cash, each person can be divided into more than 80,000 yuan per year. /kloc-positions with more than 0/0000 people need at least middle and senior leaders, and the amount that can be divided according to different positions is different. "

In addition, the netizen also said that "the salary of Geely Automobile is at a low level in the industry. From 2020 to now, many Geely employees have changed jobs. In the next 5- 10 years, emerging automobile factories will expand a lot. Therefore, in order to retain talents, Geely's policy purpose is to retain core technicians for 3-5 years and leave time for itself to make a good talent reserve. "

According to the announcement of Geely Group, the motivated person has the following situations: 1. Performance objectives are not achieved (or, if applicable, are attributed in proportion after partial achievement); 2. The selected participant is no longer a participant for any reason; 3. The affiliated company that hired the selected participant is no longer an affiliated company; 4. Make a liquidation order for the company or make a resolution on the voluntary liquidation of the company. The reward will automatically expire.

Obviously, the equity incentive schemes proposed by car companies have certain purposes or restrictions. However, the war of robbing people set off by Xiaomi Automobile is obviously more beneficial than harmful to automobile practitioners.

However, Xiaomi is not the first emerging car company to dig people with high salaries. A few years ago, LeTV dug up a large number of high-tech talents from traditional OEM, but everyone witnessed the later story. In addition, Baiteng, who declared bankruptcy last year, also recruited many talents in the industry with high salaries. The profit of "a box of 50 million food, thousands of business cards" is amazing, but in the end he can't afford the money and goes bankrupt.

Therefore, in this round of robbing people, whether the high salary and incentives offered by various car companies are opportunities or needs are greater than reality, which requires everyone to polish their eyes. However, it is obvious that with the addition of Xiaomi, a new round of involution has also begun between car companies.

Only when you are happy can you build a good car.

"Production of general workers, the basic salary is 534 1, and the annual salary is 1 10000 and 120000." This is Tesla's salary to the ordinary operators of the workshop production line. As a first-tier city, Shanghai's monthly salary of around 10,000 is obviously not low. Because, according to public statistics, the average starting salary of undergraduates in 202 1 is 5809 yuan, and there is little difference between the two groups.

One of them is the most exciting: "In addition to the five insurances and one gold, we will increase the supplementary provident fund by 5% and expand the enterprise medical insurance. The medical expenses in social security will be 100%, covering employees themselves, spouses and minor children." In this regard, some netizens commented that "this alone can kill many domestic car companies."

Although Xiaomi Auto is not clear whether it is a self-built factory or an OEM, for the front-line workers of other car companies, the wages and benefits of Tesla Pugong are simply embarrassing to others.

"Without comparison, there is no harm," said an ordinary worker in Xi 'an BYD factory. He said that the basic salary 1.68 was written in the general contract of the factory in Byd, plus 3,000 yuan a month for overtime, and more than 4,000 points for overtime. In addition, there is a monthly food allowance of 1.5 yuan, and social security is paid normally.

According to a recent recruitment announcement issued by Geely Jinzhong Automobile Factory, the salary is 20 yuan/hour for welding workshop and 19 yuan/hour for other workshops. The monthly working hours are more than 260, and the comprehensive salary is 6000. Working hours are from 7: 00 a.m. to 7: 00 p.m. (half a month's day shift, half a month's night shift), and there is a rest day on Saturday. Four people are provided with free accommodation, but the water and electricity are taken care of by themselves, and another month's meal is 200 yuan.

Although the living standards of different cities are different, there are obvious differences in wages and salaries. However, many people believe that the welfare benefits provided by domestic auto companies to general workers are obviously not as good as Tesla.

However, some netizens said that Tesla's monthly salary is not easy to get. Some former Tesla employees said that "it is rare to get that much because there is not much overtime." In addition, some netizens reported that "Tesla factory does not provide free accommodation and needs to spend money on its own."

The new upsurge set off by the new round of car-building fever has made high-tech talents become a beacon again. In contrast, ordinary employees on the production line are rarely valued by enterprises and the outside world, but as witnesses and participants in the birth of each new car, their influence on enterprises is also worthy of attention.
