Beautiful employee travels with you as a referral bonus! Shenzhen seller gets scolded

Internal referrals have been a popular recruitment method in recent years . Through internal employee recommendations , companies can bypass intermediate steps such as headhunting companies and recruitment websites and directly contact candidates, thereby expanding their talent pool at a low cost.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of internal employees to recommend and quickly and efficiently obtain the required talents, companies often formulate corresponding reward systems. Initially, internal referrals were more common in Internet companies, and now many big sellers in the cross-border circle have also used this social precision recruitment method.

This is a recruitment method that benefits both the company and the employees. However, recently an internal referral reward offered by a Shenzhen listed company has sparked controversy.

Using female employees to accompany them on tours as a welfare benefit, the product was "criticized" after it was launched and sold well

On November 24, some netizens broke the news on social media that a listed company in Shenzhen offered its female employees to accompany it on travels as a welfare benefit.

According to reports, the recruitment department of the big seller recently launched an activity with the theme of "**Bo Le Free Travel" to encourage employees to recommend internal positions. There are four positions on the activity list: "Influencer Promotion", "Amazon Sales", "FB Promotion" and "Google Promotion". The referral bonus is 500 to 800 yuan.

According to the activity requirements, before December 8, employees will recommend their internal job resumes to any personnel in the company's recruitment department. The employee who successfully recommends the most resumes will receive a reward. It is reported that the criteria for successful resume recommendation is "meeting the job requirements and successfully attending the interview."

In addition, if the referral candidate is successfully hired, the employee can also enjoy the "Bo Le Award". The Bo Le Award will be distributed in two parts, during the recruitment and regularization stages of the referral candidate.

So far, there is nothing wrong with the content, but the award standard of the Bole Award has gone astray. The Bole Award is divided into "first prize" and "second prize", among which the first prize award standard is a round-trip high-speed rail ticket for one person (second-class seat) to any city in Guangdong Province, and reimbursement of two days of hotel accommodation expenses (within 300 yuan).

The second prize is awarded for "beautiful girls' playtime activities". According to reports, there are three "beautiful girls' playtime activities" arranged by the recruitment department of the big seller: one owns ten apartments in Shenzhen, each with a 200,000 yuan luxury elevator. She is beautiful and has a graceful figure; another is 20 years old, 170 cm tall, and weighs 90 kg. She is a famous Tik Tok celebrity; the third is a sweet and sunny girl XXX from the recruitment department.

Many people were shocked that a listed company could do such an incredible thing. Many netizens said that it felt like the quality of this listed company had suddenly become low. Some people even said that they felt extremely uncomfortable seeing such content, and felt that women were being objectified and treated like materials. Some people even threatened to report it.

Southern Metropolis Daily recently reported on this matter and conducted multiple verifications. Some employees confirmed the authenticity of the above screenshots, but Dama denied it, saying that the company has never used female employees to accompany travel to reward internal referrals, and the information in the online announcement is false.

Yien.com found that the supermarket has indeed launched the "Bo Le Award" many times in the past, but the award standards are mostly large bonuses and daily necessities. However, the four positions on the list of this event are consistent with those posted on a certain recruitment website, and the recruiter and the person in charge of the above event have the same surname.

There is nothing wrong with sellers using "unique tricks" to attract talent and expand recruitment effects, but they must be careful not to go astray. Big sellers in particular must pay attention to their words and actions to avoid causing unnecessary disputes due to inappropriate words and actions.

The gap exceeds 6 million, and cross-border enterprises are suffering from "talent hunger"

Cross-border e-commerce is becoming a new engine driving foreign trade growth. Customs data show that in the first three quarters of this year , China's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports totaled 1.7 trillion yuan , up 14.4 % ; of which exports totaled 1.3 trillion yuan , up 17.7%.

In recent years, China's cross-border e-commerce has accelerated . Data from the Ministry of Commerce show that the scale of China's cross-border e-commerce has increased nearly 10 times in the past five years.

As Chinese manufacturing sweeps the international market, Chinese cross-border e-commerce sellers have gradually emerged on some mainstream cross-border e-commerce platforms and are increasingly occupying an important position.

MarketPlace Pulse data shows that among the top sellers in Amazon's four major sites, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan, Chinese sellers account for nearly 40%. In addition, an overseas research institution captured more than 40,000 sellers who had just entered Amazon and started selling and found that 75% of the new sellers in Amazon's four core markets (the United States , the United Kingdom , Germany, and Japan) used registration information in China.

The rapid expansion of the industry has brought about a talent shortage. Many sellers or team leaders are complaining that it is too difficult to recruit people for cross-border e-commerce. The main reason why sellers have difficulty recruiting is that there is a huge talent gap in the cross-border e-commerce industry.

According to the 2021 report of Zhaopin.com , cross-border e-commerce is currently in a stage where the demand for relevant talents is growing rapidly and the supply cannot keep up. Alibaba International Station predicts that there is a shortage of more than 6 million professional talents in cross-border e-commerce in China ; except for the southeastern coastal areas, small and medium-sized enterprises in the central and western regions are particularly short of talents.

The characteristic that "China looks to Guangdong for cross-border business, and Guangdong looks to Guangzhou and Shenzhen for cross-border business" also applies to talent demand. For example, among the popular recruitment areas operated by Amazon, Shenzhen is the first, followed by Guangzhou and Xiamen.

Sellers are eager to recruit talented people, but they should also be wary of scams in the recruitment process.

There are tricks in remote work, sellers should beware of "routine job applications"

During the recent autumn recruitment, a seller found that many job seekers who wanted to work remotely appeared on the recruitment website. "I met seven or eight of them, and they said they were currently in the mainland, such as Guizhou, Fujian, etc., and then started the negotiation by saying they could work remotely."

The epidemic has brought the new way of working, "remote work", to more people, but now it has become a means of fraud. In this type of scam, the common requirement of these so-called "job seekers" is to work remotely instead of sitting in the office.

Their excuses for not coming to the company to work are mostly similar, such as "I am not in the local area, I will start working for a month, and if it is suitable, I will join the company next month", "My family is sick and needs care, so I can only start work after a while", "I will take the driving test at home, and I can come to the company to work in two months. The early remote work is a trial"...

Once the seller gives in, you are likely to fall into their scam. Generally speaking, there will be the following consequences: First, you will be cheated of your basic salary. These people usually work for several companies at the same time, and they will be cheated of 3,000 yuan in one company and 5,000 yuan in another company. They will earn a lot of money in a month. Previously, Yien.com reported that someone worked for 10 companies at the same time and could get a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan.

In the first half of this year, the Shanghai police cracked a similar "job application scam" case involving more than 50 million yuan. The scam gang used forged resumes to package themselves as applicants urgently needed by employers, and after joining the company, they forged daily work records. The scam gang members pretended to be high-value customers to obtain basic wages. In addition, the scam gang did not require the company to purchase social insurance.

The second is being deceived by product and store information. After joining the company, these job seekers have enough opportunities to contact the seller's store and products, and can easily obtain information about the best-selling products in the store. After obtaining this information, the job seekers usually "disappear".
