A wave of resignations broke out, and even a base salary of 10,000 yuan is not enough to retain cross-border operations?

The resignation wave is coming, and even a base salary of 10,000 yuan cannot retain cross-border operations?

Although the outside world has a high opinion of cross-border e-commerce, and everyone thinks that the average salary per person is 20,000 or 30,000, and they all want to join Amazon, let's first take a look at the basic salary of the cross-border recruitment group↓↓

But it is true that every industry has its own problems. Not everyone can be a supervisor or team leader. For every novice operator, they may only get 6,000-8,000 yuan (salaries vary in different cities), not the tens of thousands of commissions rumored. Only a few people in the industry can get tens of thousands of yuan per month. However, insufficient salary is indeed an important inducement for the annual resignation wave.

When it comes to operations, there are thousands of cross-border companies, and everyone is fighting against each other, but when it comes to the reasons for leaving, everyone has their own reasons and their own sadness.

An operator said that he had worked in the company for two years as a team leader with a base salary of 3,000 yuan and was required to work 996. The company's development was not what he wanted and he didn't know where to go.

There are also operations personnel who said that they resigned because they could not get the commission. They have been starting over from a new account, and they were doing account registration, product selection, operations, and photo retouching all by themselves. The commission system was different from what was said during the interview. They could not get the commission and felt that they could not learn anything, so they decided to leave.

Some sellers also said before the New Year: "In our company, promotions and salary increases are based on one indicator, which is the number of overtime hours. It doesn't matter whether you have the ability or whether you can successfully complete the work KPI. So I feel that there is no hope for a salary increase in this life, so I'd better leave after the New Year."

Some operations staff also said that they had limited room for advancement in their original large company, so after leaving, they found a smaller company, which would also help their personal development.

In addition, some cross-border people resigned voluntarily, while some were forced to resign. After the new year, a branch of a cross-border company was disbanded and the company's employees were persuaded to resign. This was really helpless.

As Ma Yun said, there are two main reasons for leaving a job: one is that the salary is not enough, and the other is that the heart is wronged. In the final analysis, it comes down to one thing: the job is not satisfactory.

Don’t think that only cross-border operations are hurt by the wave of resignations; the bosses are also hurt.

A cross-border boss said that he hired an experienced independent station operator with a base salary of more than 10,000 yuan, but before taking into account the commission, the operator left after working for a few months, and the performance has not improved at all...

Cross-border recruiters: It is difficult to recruit suitable talents even with high salaries

Although cross-border operations have their reasons for leaving, from another perspective, from the perspective of cross-border bosses, they also have a very urgent need for good operations.

For cross-border companies, the cost of recruiting new employees is still quite high. First of all, they have to pay more than ten yuan for each chat on the recruitment software, which makes them feel painful.

And good operations personnel are really hard to find. Industry insiders said that some very experienced and capable operations personnel are the equivalent of three people, with particularly high efficiency, which evens out the efficiency of others. Operations personnel who have created hit products are also particularly needed. Since bosses are so busy trying to keep capable operations personnel like the ones mentioned above, how can they not pay them enough?

Moreover, recruiters have reported that independent website operators have always been a difficult category to recruit: "The requirements for good independent website operators are really too high. Companies want to become DTC brands, but not many independent website operators have done this. Even if they have the ability, they work on their own. Even if they are offered a monthly salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, not many people can do it."

Salary 10-15k! Amazon operators are running to work on TikTok and Shopify?

The peak period for resignations is also the peak season for recruiting. However, according to recent observations by the editor, in addition to complaining about the high cost of recruiting, sellers are also facing a problem: they can’t recruit anyone!

"Where did those people go?" someone couldn't help but ask.

The editor believes that there are only two reasons: first, job seekers, or people who have left their jobs, have more choices; second, the profit-seeking effect, other companies offer more money for the same or similar positions.

Take the most common position in the cross-border circle , "operation", for example. If you don't want to work for Amazon, where many job seekers are flocking, you can work for Alibaba International Station. With the strong rise of Shopify last year, many people have also begun to eye its operation specialist positions. In addition, TikTok's popularity overseas has also attracted some people to its operation positions.

According to the editor's inquiry on a domestic recruitment website, except for the slightly lower salary of Alibaba International Station operation positions, the operation salaries of Shopify and TikTok still have certain advantages compared to the now popular Amazon operations.

Among these positions, a Shenzhen cross-border seller recruited an Amazon boutique operation specialist with a salary of 11-20K . Another cross-border seller also located in Shenzhen recruited a boutique operation position with a salary of 8-13K.

A cross-border enterprise also located in Shenzhen offers a salary of 10-15k for its Shopify independent station operation specialist . Another Shenzhen-based company also offers a salary of 10-15k for its TikTok overseas operation position.

Overall, although the salaries for Shopify independent site operations and TikTok overseas operations are not as high as Amazon operations as others have said, it is a fact that their salaries are generally higher.

Previously, some sellers reported that when they were browsing recruitment information, they found that several big sellers had begun to deploy TikTok in the name of their subsidiaries .

Scarcity makes things valuable. In the future, there is still a lot of room for TikTok operation salaries to increase, and the competition for operations talent will surely become even more intense by then.

Regarding the job requirements for TikTok operations positions, a company wrote on a recruitment website:

1. Bachelor degree or above, CET-6, 1 year or more of content editing experience;
2. Love short videos, have divergent creative thinking, and understand short video community operation skills
3. Strong writing skills, strong storytelling skills, mature and interesting writing skills, and know how to make a story interesting;
4. Have a good sense of the Internet, the ability to dig into topics keenly, and understand the culture and information characteristics of the Internet, especially YouTube, Instagram, and Tiktok;
5. Applicants with overseas background are preferred.

It is difficult to recruit people in the supply chain, and factory owners in Guangzhou are lining up to be picked!

Not only is it difficult for sellers to recruit people, it is also not easy for the sellers' upstream supply chain to recruit people.

A strange scene has appeared in Guangzhou, a concentration of sellers' clothing supply chains - a 3-kilometer-long road in Guangzhou's Haizhu District is filled with garment factory owners recruiting workers. They are holding various clothing samples and holding signs, waiting for passing workers to choose.

A person in charge of a garment factory said that in the past, the factory selected workers, but now the workers select the bosses. If more complex skills are needed, it will be more difficult to recruit flat sewing workers and ironing workers, and the salary will be higher. Some lathe workers have not yet come out, and they will only come out if the price is high. One person costs at least 700 yuan, and usually 300 to 400 yuan.

The recent rise in raw material prices has caused headaches for many sellers. If there is a shortage of workers in the factory, it will definitely cause a certain delay in the later shipment. I hope sellers can make preparations early, otherwise they will face the dilemma of labor, cost, and shortage in the later stage.
