Yoo-hyun walked down the corridor of the 20th floor after coming down from the rooftop.
The floor area was spacious, so it took quite a distance to get from the elevator to the opposite wall.
He passed by the signs of three companies that were occupying the floor and saw a small office.
It was the office that Yoo-hyun was going to move into.
There were bigger vacancies on other floors, but Yoo-hyun preferred the 20th floor.
It had the best view in the building.
‘And it’s close to the rooftop.’
The size was a drawback, but he could expand it after he acquired the building.
There were many companies that were going to leave soon after their contracts expired.
Thud thud.
As he approached the entrance, he saw a neat lettering on the marble wall.
-Integrated Review Platform ‘Revievver’.
Revievver.
It was a word made by changing the W of Reviewer to two Vs, and it was the company na that Yoo-hyun ca up with together with Jeong Da-hye.
-It would be nice to call the company na, the review site na, and the people who post reviews on the site all Revievver. Then we can highlight the difference from the existing reviewers.
Yoo-hyun recalled Jeong Da-hye’s words and touched the lettering on the wall.
“Not bad for a temporary sign.”
The office move took longer than expected, so he postponed it for now.
Instead, he planned to conduct the hiring interviews in the sa space and did so temporary interior work.
He thought it would be fine if the new hires ca to work when the move was done.
As he was giving so aning to the place, soone called him.
“CEO.”
“Huh? Bomi, you didn’t go in?”
The owner of the voice was Yoon Bomi, who used to handle the accounting work at Double Y.
She had a round face with black short hair and smiled brightly.
“Hey, how can I go in. Tomorrow is the official first interview day for Revievver.”
“Didn’t you finish setting up the interview room? Didn’t the interior workers leave?”
“They did. But there’s still sothing left.”
“What is it?”
“For example, you know we turned the lounge into an interview waiting room. But the space is so empty that the people who co to the waiting room will be bored. So…”
Yoon Bomi pulled Yoo-hyun’s arm and explained the situation.
She looked very excited.
“Do you need to pay that much attention?”
“They are the people who were looking forward to it so much. Of course we have to make them comfortable.”
“We agreed to pay them a lot for the interview.”
“There’s sothing called emotion that money can’t buy. They are all people who used Revievver, so we have to give them a good impression. Even if they fail, they are still with us.”
When was it?
-The office is the first impression for the people who co for the interview. Of course we have to show them well.
Yoon Bomi also did the office interior by herself without anyone asking her to do so when she interviewed for Double Y.
Her initiative and empathy were still amazing even after she changed the company.
Yoo-hyun gave a thumbs up to the first employee of Revievver and the interviewer for tomorrow.
“As expected, Bomi. You’re aweso.”
“You’re just flattering with sothing trivial. You’re pressuring to work harder, aren’t you?”
“Of course not. I’m not the kind of CEO who makes the employees nervous.”
Yoo-hyun waved his hand and Yoon Bomi grinned.
“Alright, let’s say so.”
“Really.”
“Yes. I got it. But I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“I’m finally eting the people I t online.”
Yoon Bomi’s eyes sparkled as she clasped her hands.
It had been three months since Revievver was launched as a web site.
He ambitiously planted the flag as an integrated review platform, but he faced a lot of trials and errors.
Making and running the site was easy thanks to the support of the Double Y staff, including Nadoha.
The real challenge was to make people understand the concept of Revievver.
You earn money by writing reviews.
It was a ti when the general public didn’t know much about the fact that YouTubers made a lot of money.
Was that why?
The people who wrote reviews doubted it, and the site visitors looked at them with a bad eye.
He invested a lot of advertising money and promoted it, but only one-ti posts flooded the site, and there was no sign of the site coming alive.
It was the mont when he realized that his brilliant career in the online world was useless.
That’s when Yoon Bomi helped him.
Yoo-hyun returned ho and sat in front of the computer to check the site.
There were three more reviews than when he checked on his mobile in the car.
Click.
Yoo-hyun clicked on the ‘IT Review’ category and looked at the recent posts.
The number next to the title was the personal rating of the writer, and the overall rating of Unique 2 was the average score of all the review writers.
-9.3 (total 54 posts)
Unique 2 was one of the best rated products recently, along with Apple Phone 5.
Scroll.
Yoo-hyun scrolled the mouse wheel and looked at the review content.
It was a review full of sincerity, as if it reflected the actual feeling of using it.
There were several comnts on the post that was uploaded less than 10 minutes ago, and the number of likes and SNS shares also increased quickly.
The response to the post was not the only good thing.
Yoo-hyun, who logged in as an administrator, could see the number of clicks on the ads on the page, and it was noticeably high.
The visitors clicked on them one by one.
How was this possible?
The answer was in the one-line phrase on the ad.
-100 percent of the revenue generated by clicking on this ad will be transferred to the review writer.
Yoon Bomi’s intuitive idea, which she casually threw out, changed the perception of people at once.
It was hard to spend my own money, but it was easy to click on an ad once.
The visitors cheered on the writers by clicking on the ads, and that led to an increase in revenue.
The writers could see how much revenue was generated from their reviews at a glance, and they could also estimate the revenue of others through the ranking system.
The word of mouth that a well-written review made money spread and people started to gather.
There was one more added plan.
It was the community operation.
-It’s boring to have only reviews. If you want to keep the visitors, the community has to be active.
Yoo-hyun refined Yoon Bomi’s suggestion.
The main revenue from the ‘IT Review’ category was all given to the review writers, while the other parts of the ads were used to cover the operating costs. He created this structure.
He solved the initial difficulty of attracting ads by using Google’s ads, and after he settled down, he introduced his own ad system and gave more shares to the review writers.
Thanks to this, the site had a virtuous cycle.
It was not large in scale, but it was the first step as a self-sustaining platform.
Yoon Bomi played a decisive role in this process.
That was why Yoo-hyun scouted her.
Click.
Yoo-hyun clicked on the ‘mbers’ item next to the ‘IT Review’ and ‘Other Reviews’ categories at the top of the site.
The nicknas and profile pictures of the review writers registered on Reverb appeared.
They were precious people who created the Reverb ecosystem, one by one.
Yoo-hyun posted a job announcent for them.
It was a company that had just started to walk, and the site was small, but the application rate was surprisingly high.
Salary, benefits, work location, etc.
The conditions were so good that they worked.
They were all people who had a positive view of Reverb while working on it, and there was no reason not to challenge them when they said they would give them benefits when they applied for the docunt.
Drrr.
Yoo-hyun looked at the docunt passers.
The pass criteria were different from other companies.
He only referred to the specs such as degree, academic background, and certificate, and excluded them from the discussion.
-We need people who can expand Reverb with fresh ideas, people who can overco many obstacles and put them into action, people like that.
Creativity, execution, and challenge spirit.
He selected the interviewees based on the criteria suggested by Jeong Da-hye.
Now he only had to check if they were gems that would surprise the world through the interview.
Wouldn’t Jeong Da-hye like the candidates?
As he thought of her, his phone rang.
Jiing.
-Da-hye: I ca to the Chanel fashion show with Jae-hee. (Picture)
Along with the ssage sent by Jeong Da-hye, the faces of the two smiling brightly appeared.
They looked like children, drawing a V with the Paris fashion show as the background.
Yoo-hyun looked at the picture with a loving look for a while.
“They’re having fun.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled.
The next day, on the 20th floor of the Future Tower in Gwanghwamun.
A round table and four chairs were placed in the center of the space decorated as an interview room.
Yoo-hyun sat on the chair by the window, and next to him was Na Do-ha, who had helped him since the early days of Reverb.
Yoo-hyun fiddled with his phone and asked.
“So you’re saying that the Reverb interview bot is linked to the With ssenger of the interviewees?”
“Yes. It will automatically display the interview order and waiting ti.”
“What if the order changes due to circumstances?”
“It’s no problem. I’ve set it up so that I can adjust it by getting feedback in real ti. I’ve already verified it at the Mirinae Securities interview.”
He said it as if it was nothing, and Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes.
“Did you attend the Mirinae Securities interview too?”
“Of course not. Finance is Young-hoon’s specialty. I just provided the system then.”
“You’re really busy, going around here and there.”
“What’s wrong with that? I’m doing it because I like it. And you’re taking good care of .”
Na Do-ha smiled brightly.
Kkiiik.
The door opened and Yoon Bomi ca in.
She emptied the basket she had brought and rolled her feet.
“What do we do! There are already people in the interview waiting room.”
“Really?”
“Yes. So I quickly prepared cookies and drinks and ca back. There shouldn’t be any shortage.”
“If there is, we can fill it up.”
“No way. We have to fill it up before it runs out. They’re the people I wanted to see, so I want to take good care of them, even if it’s just food.”
She still had the habit of living in Double Y.
Yoo-hyun, who laughed, asked her who had just sat down.
“Who do you want to et the most, Bomi?”
“? It’s ‘Gonggongchil’. I really enjoyed his reviews, so I left a lot of comnts.”
“How about you, Doha?”
“? I’m ‘Standard One’.”
“You an the pro gar?”
Na Do-ha’s eyes sparkled at Yoo-hyun’s question.
“Yes. I was a huge fan of him until he retired. How about you, brother?”
“Well. Then I’m ‘Jangmanbo’? Or ‘Flora’?”
“Wow, too, too. I really wanted to et the actor and the Instagram star.”
Yoon Bomi clapped her hands like a seal.
Yoo-hyun pointed to the empty seat opposite him and touched the With ssenger screen.
“Then let’s et them from now on.”
-Reverb Interview Bot: The Reverb interview will start soon. Please be in the interview waiting room 10 minutes before the interview ti.
The whole announcent was sent and the Reverb interview began.
