"Takayuki...San?"
The manager of the headhunting company looked uncertainly at the business card in his hand, glancing at Takayuki.
"Hello, it's ."
"So, you're the president of your company?"
"That's right."
"Truly young and promising."
In this day and age, it's quite challenging for a young person to start a company. There are people everywhere struggling to make ends et, and any business venture could easily end up bankrupt. This has caused the younger generation to lose their spirit suddenly, just wanting to settle for a 996 job until death.
Facing the praise from the other party, Takayuki simply smiled in response.
"I first need an executive assistant. If one person can't handle everything, I'll consider hiring a second."
For a newly established small company, one person is actually enough, but Takayuki wants to be prepared in advance.
"So, do you need a long-term backbone assistant, or more like an administrative secretary?"
A backbone assistant is often aid at nurturing a future vice president or successor, while an administrative secretary is more of a pure worker, handling all the dirty work, with perhaps a bit of managent stock at most.
Takayuki didn't hesitate: "Administrative assistant."
At just twenty years old, he doesn't really need a successor. He has his own forward-looking guidance for the gaming industry; he just lacks overall managent of the company.
Of course, if an administrative assistant performs well, becoming his future vice president is not out of the question, depending on their capabilities.
"Alright, please take a look at these."
The manager took out a laptop and after a few simple clicks, handed it over to Takayuki.
On the screen were several electronic resus that had already been opened.
Each administrative assistant's basic information and expected salary were detailed.
Here, everyone seems to be aiming for a salary in the millions. So demanding ones even reach up to 13-14 million yen per year, and they still want managent shares.
But compared to the money he earns from selling gas, this salary isn't a big deal.
Takayuki quickly glanced over them and soon locked in two candidates: Matsuhashi Mi and Take-naka Sayaka.
These are two professional won.
Don't misunderstand, it's not that only won can do this job. It's just that these two have excellent resus and their prices are much lower than those of similarly qualified n.
In Japan, there seems to be a significant gap in the status and remuneration between n and won in companies.
Even if the positions are the sa, n tend to be sneaky while won are diligent. Yet, n still enjoy a salary advantage.
Another characteristic in their resus is that won often add additional explanations, such as their marital status and other subjective views, seemingly to preemptively address any potential employer concerns.
In this case, won are put in a very passive position.
Matsuhashi Mi, 31 years old, single-minded, obviously the type willing to dedicate her life to work or live single and carefree forever, without needing a second person by her side.
In the detailed information below, it's recorded that she was previously employed by a large company. However, the company president's investnt failure led to the company's bankruptcy, and she beca unemployed. She's currently in a state of job search.
Proficient in multiple languages, with over 4 years of managent experience, and proficient in the financial and legal knowledge required by the company, she's definitely a workplace elite.
Expected annual salary: 9 million yen.
Take-naka Sayaka, 33 years old, single, full-ti assistant, no plans for marriage in the short term.
Similarly, she has worked for a foreign multinational corporation before, but she left voluntarily. The introduction says she was harassed by her superior and resigned after reporting it.
Hmm, sounds like a very strong-willed woman.
Expected annual salary: 8 million yen, and she hopes to have a certain amount of managent shares.
Like the previous one, she's also a workplace elite.
Both candidates have a very obvious characteristic in their resus: they are both quite assertive.
But this is also normal. Female executives in such positions need to be assertive; otherwise, they will find it difficult to survive in the corporate environnt surrounded by wolves. Without assertiveness, they might end up as sheep.
"Let's tentatively choose these two, and the salary is also appropriate."
n with similar resus would expect at least two to three million yen more in annual salary than won. Takayuki almost didn't consider it and chose these two.
The manager glanced at the assistants Takayuki had chosen and said aningfully, "Hehe, President Takayuki's choice is really special. But President Takayuki, these two won aren't particularly easy to get along with. They are both workaholics devoted only to their jobs."
It seems the manager has thought of sothing strange.
But the manager's explanation made Takayuki even more determined.
"Just these two."
These two candidates are quite good and almost the best choice for Takayuki.
Actually, he doesn't care whether they get married or not; he only cares about work-related issues.
"Okay, I'll arrange for both of them to co for an interview, or do you need both of them?"
"Just try them out directly. I'll pay them a trial salary, based on their expected annual salary divided by 12."
Such straightforward employers have been quite rare in recent years.
And he needs both directly.
Takayuki plans to be a hands-off boss, leaving everything except ga developnt and overall direction to one or two people.
In theory, one person is usually enough, but having two as reserves isn't bad either. He has reason to believe that the gaming industry will experience explosive growth, and these two can familiarize themselves with the processes of gaming companies during this process.
It would be a bit slow to wait until the business really develops and then look for suitable candidates to supplent.
Anyway, he's not short of this salary.
Such a generous employer leaves the headhunting company with nothing to say; they're even happy.
Because these two won have been in their database for over a year.
Most companies hesitate to hire both of them because they are won.
But both of them have a very high level of work.
Sotis, no matter how high your level of work is, you can't overco gender discrimination. In Japan, it will take at least another twenty or thirty years for this situation to improve.
"Well, President Takayuki, I wish us a pleasant cooperation. If you have any other needs in the future, feel free to contact us. Here's my business card."
The manager respectfully handed over his business card with both hands.
This ti, Takayuki is already a high-quality client, and it's necessary to maintain this relationship.
Takayuki also politely accepted it and then prepared to leave the company.
However, just as he walked out of the company's door, soone familiar ca walking towards him.
Honda Rimi.
The housewife with two children.
Honda Rimi used to work as an economist, but she didn't have a job history in a large company, only serving as a short-term finance manager at a dium-sized company.
However, since getting married, she resigned and devoted herself to being a full-ti housewife.
Unfortunately, her husband's investnt failure led to his suicide, leaving Honda Rimi to support the entire family on her own.
Before, she assembled ga consoles at Takayuki's gaming company, but this wasn't the job she had hoped for.
She would prefer to find a job similar to her past.
But it's just too difficult to find one now.
On one hand, it's her age; on the other hand, it's the saturation of talent demand in Japanese society, leaving her without a place.
"Miss Honda?"
"President Takayuki?"
Both of them were stunned to see each other.
