214.招聘管理人員
Executive recruiters take pains to find the right executive for a company. And that's why companies use them, because they don't want to take shortcuts when it comes to the success of their business.
招聘管理人員的人努力為公司尋找合適的主管。就因為這樣公司才會用這些人,因為事關公司的成功,他們不想走捷徑。
One time, however, an interesting thing took place. The candidates for one company were refused time and time again. As they continued to meet with the recruiter, and he continued to take their questions as to who was left to interview, an interesting idea began to take shape. How about hiring the recruiter himself?
可是有一次發生了一件有趣的事。提供給一家公司的候選人遭到一次又一次的拒絕。他們不停地召見那位招聘人員,而他也不停地回答他們“還剩哪位面試者”這樣的問題。這時一個有趣的想法開始形成了:聘請這位招聘人員如何?
When the recruiter heard this it took his breath away. He immediately took some time off for a vacation. He was interested in the position, sure, but he didn't think it was ethical that he got the job when he was so close to the hiring process. If they did want him, they would have to take steps to approach him in a different manner!
聽到這個消息,這位招聘人員激動得透不過氣來。他馬上抽時間度了個假。毫無疑問,他對那個職位感興趣,可他認為他對整個招聘過程太了解了,他得到這份工作是不符合職業道德的。如果他們真的要用他,他們得采取措施用一種不同的方法接近他!

His departure took the company by surprise! They had somehow taken it for granted that they could hire this man whenever they wanted! They bad taken it as read when they should have understood the ground rules better! A slight fear took root that he didn't want to work for them! When they talked to the recruiter's boss, however, they took his word for it that the recruiter was interested; he just wanted to be ethical!
他的離去讓公司很吃驚!不知怎的,他們理所當然地認為,只要他們愿意,他們就可以用這個人!他們以為可以肯定不會有錯,可實際上他們應該更好地了解一些基本原則!他們心生些許擔心,那就是他不愿替他們工作!可是,當他們與招聘者的老板談及此事時,他們相信了他說的話——他真的對那個職位感興趣,他不過是在講職業道德!
Then they began to pursue the recruiter in the right way. People on the board took sides, of course, but they all took part in a real interview of the recruiter and he was more than qualified to run their company!
然后他們便開始用合適的方式讓招聘者回心轉意。當然董事會是支持這樣做的,但他們都參加了真正的面試。讓他來管理公司他真的是當之無愧!
No one took it hard when he left! They were glad that they could point to the high quality of their employees!
沒有一個人因為他的離去而傷心!能證明他們的雇員素質很髙,他們感到很高興!
And it increased their reputation!
而且這件事使他們名聲大振!
