The recruitment progress was slow, which made Luo Xiu very irritable for a while.

After all, his time is precious, and he can't keep delaying it like this.

TikTok’s business model is ready-made, and it needs good talents to execute and promote it.

Luo Xiu now wishes he could turn recruiting into a card drawing game. As long as he earns enough krypton gold, he will definitely be able to draw out five-star talents.

Whether it is sales type, technical type or management type, they are clearly marked.

It even has a bed-warming function, allowing you to work on your business during the day and be your boss at night.

It's a pity that reality is not a card drawing game, and talents do not have stars on their faces.

And almost all the people who come for interviews are bald men and greasy uncles.

Even if someone comes for an interview, it's good. But more often than not, the interview time is scheduled, but no one comes after waiting for a long time, which is a waste of time.

After Luo Xiu was let off again, he had no choice but to ask Lin Minyi out for a drink to relieve his boredom.

There is a bar not far from the entrance of the company. It is very lively at night and there will be black singers singing there.

But it's daytime now, and there are almost no customers.

In fact, most bars here are not open during the day because there is not much business and their labor costs are high.

This restaurant may be open for an extra half day in the afternoon because there are many white-collar elites nearby and they need a place to discuss business.

Consumption during the day is also mainly coffee.

The waiter was a blonde in uniform, which reminded Luo Xiu of Caroline from Broke Sisters.

She put down two glasses of beer and then turned around and left, seemingly hiding away and playing with her mobile phone.

Luo Xiu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It felt a bit bitter in the mouth, but after getting used to it, it had a mellow taste.

Lin Minyi, who was sitting opposite, took a small sip. She seemed to be suffering from the pain, and her willow-leaf-like eyebrows frowned. A little hops accidentally touched her charming lips.

She put down the glass and said dissatisfiedly: "It's working time now. As the boss, it's not good for you to go out and drink, right?"

Luo Xiu joked: "Then just fine yourself a month's salary. As an employee, you bear half of the responsibility. A fine of half a month's salary is not too much, right?"

"You are the boss, and if you fine yourself one month's salary, doesn't that mean you just transfer the money from your left pocket to your right pocket?"

"Yes, otherwise how could I be the boss?"

"I think our company needs to form a union to fight against unscrupulous bosses like you."

Luo Xiu said with a smile: "Let's not start a trade union. If we really want to start one, we might as well build a branch in the United States."

"Boss, you are so bold. As a legal officer, I'd better run away as soon as possible. I'm afraid I will be sent in one day."

"Get on my boat, but don't think about running away."

"When did I get into your bed and get you drunk with two sips of beer?"

"I'm talking about a boat. A boat that rows without oars and relies solely on waves. Where did you think of it?"

"This is the ship I'm talking about. You're overthinking it." Lin Minyi denied it with a red face.

She didn't know why she got so hot-headed that she heard the boat as a bed.

Now, under Luo Xiu's gaze, he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

Luo Xiu did not continue to pester him. After all, he studied law. If he said a few words of praise, he could easily be accused of workplace harassment.

What's more, he is quite good-looking. If he were to sue him for workplace harassment, it would be easy to gain the trust of the judge.

If it were an ugly girl weighing 200 pounds, even if she was really harassed, it would be assumed to be false unless there was a video to prove it.

"This world of looking at faces - it's really wonderful."

Luo Xiu, who thinks he is very handsome, is very satisfied with this world.

"I found that it is too difficult to recruit people in the United States. I asked for equity shares before joining the company."

"Boss, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"you say."

"I suggest you don't think about getting it right in one step, but recruit basic employees first. Basic employees are still easy to recruit."

Lin Minyi lowered her head and took a sip of wine and continued: "It is recommended that international students from various countries be given priority. In order to obtain a work visa and stay in the United States, they can accept lower pay and longer working hours."

Luo Xiu nodded after hearing this, "It seems I'm still too impatient, so I'll just do as you say!"

He already owns a large group in China, and now he has opened a branch abroad, so his mind tends to stay at home.

When recruiting people, you also want to directly find reliable elites, which is impossible.

It is still necessary to build the basic team first, and then slowly expand the team as the business develops, while adding more senior management.

Luo Xiu immediately adjusted his recruitment strategy, focusing on basic employees.

The technical team is mainly located in China.

The most valuable part of Douyin is the recommendation algorithm. The IT department has been improving the recommendation algorithm since the news headlines, and has accumulated a lot of experience in this area.

Therefore, Luo Xiu’s recruitment this time is mainly focused on the business team.

Since it was an international business, the business team could only be found locally. Soon Luo Xiu recruited a business team of fifteen people.

The members of this team are all international students. They are faced with whether they can stay after graduation and have great enthusiasm for their work.

Secondly, the main group of TikTok is the young people of Generation Z. What Luo Xiu needs is a business team that understands young people better.

At present, Luo Xiu has only one job for them, which is to find ways to mobilize more young people to produce short video works and upload them to TikTok.

There is no use in promoting and driving traffic now.

Because there are too few works in your software, after users come in and swipe a few times, they will find that there is nothing to see, and they will be lost soon.

No matter how good your algorithm is, if you don’t recommend any works to users, it will be in vain.

Even a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

Only by first having a large number of excellent videos in the library, so that users who come in have the feeling of discovering treasures, can they stay and become their real users.

This is the same principle as doing e-commerce.

Many newcomers who open a store always think about how to get traffic and focus on driving traffic.

Even if you spend money to bring in users.

If people see that the products in your store are not attractive, they will not place an order, which is a waste of money to attract traffic.

Only by optimizing the internal pages first and doing a good job of internal strength will the traffic drainage effect be better.

Someone suggested at the meeting: "I suggest planning a competition similar to the "Ice Bucket Challenge" to attract more people to take videos and participate."

The Ice Bucket Challenge is an event that has become popular on the Internet this year.

After accepting the challenge, participants can nominate others to participate in this event, and the invitees must either accept the challenge within 24 hours or donate $100 to ALS.

This activity quickly spread from abroad to China, and even Luo Xiu was named.

As long as you are a minor celebrity, you are unlikely to be immune.

But I have to say that this kind of kidnapping-style public welfare activity is indeed very suitable for communication.
