Chapter 616 Recruitment

On July 1, the Avril Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Center released a recruitment announcement, offering ten internship researcher positions.

Applicants must major in either Clinical Medicine or Biochemistry. Exceptional admissions are available for applicants with exceptional academic performance in related fields, significant scientific research achievements, and outstanding contributions. Recent graduates and individuals from the general public are welcome to apply.

The news quickly became a trending topic. In just two days, the registration form below the Starblog showed that it had been downloaded 60 times.

While startups are a minefield for many job seekers, this time the situation was clearly different.

From last year to now, this institution has been established for less than a year, but it has produced 5 special journal papers and 128 authoritative core journal papers. As for the papers in the third, fourth and fifth categories of journals at lower levels - none.

Yes, it was at its peak as soon as it made a move. Such a nerve-wracking operation made a saying spread in the industry: Selvie never plays low-end games.

Mentioning the name of this research center and its owner, even the most distinguished figures would have to lower their heads and sigh sincerely, "They're as productive as cockroaches..."

"Teacher, why cockroaches? Shouldn't it be 'highly productive like a sow'?"

"How many piglets does a sow give birth to at once? But a cockroach can lay 300 eggs!"

"Oh~!"

"But, this is ridiculous. A thesis isn't an essay. How could this be possible? Even if you don't eat or sleep, how can you average one article every three days? Even if one person is responsible for several projects at the same time, this is unacceptable. This is inhumane."

Upon hearing this, the professor calmly replied, "That's illogical, and you're not the only one who thinks so. Since last year, many people have questioned their data fabrication, specifically replicating the experimental steps mentioned in the paper. Even fraud-busting groups have targeted them."

"What's the result?" the intern asked nervously.

"I didn't get any hush money."

"..."

"That group of people invested a lot of money and bought a new batch of equipment, hoping to make a fortune, but they haven't achieved their goal yet. I heard that half of the papers on the list have been published."

The interns were shocked and speechless, and the laboratory was silent.

After a while, the professor suddenly turned around and asked with a wary look on his face, "You must have heard about it. It's very exciting, right?"

"No no!"

"I haven't said what it is yet."

"..."

"If you want to give it a try, go ahead. Everyone wants to move up. But judging by the situation, the competition is incredibly fierce. And even if you get in, the workload is incredibly heavy. How did you achieve so much? Right? You'd have to work yourself to death day and night."

"Our research institute focuses on a different direction, so while our output may be a bit lacking compared to others, our status and reputation are still very solid. You've been here for over five months now, and you're familiar with the work. It's only a few days until you're officially hired...right? I won't say any more, just get busy."

"Um……"

"Doctor Zhang, what do you think, should we hire two more associate researchers?" Xu Weiwei asked while sitting in front of the computer.

Since she was going to recruit anyway, she wanted to get all the staff ready at once.

There seems to be no shortage of senior positions in the research center now, but except for Zhang Peter who is a regular employee, the other three have signed temporary employment agreements. The five new professors in the class are even "illegal workers" without any written contracts.

Moreover, after the summer vacation, they will have to return to their original positions, and the research center may face the problem of staff shortage again.

Zhang Pitt nodded and said, "That's feasible."

"It's hard to pry people at this level, so you have to find them in advance and offer them generous conditions to attract them to switch jobs."

"Okay, you know more about this than I do, so you'll be the one to set the standards. Regarding salary, benefits, and other requirements."

"Okay, I'll do it when I get back. I'll send it to you once it's finished."

"Thank you for your help. Oh, by the way, do we need a dedicated personnel officer?" Xu Weiwei suddenly thought of it.

This question stumped Zhang Peter for a moment: "This..."

If you were to say they needed it, their research center normally had almost no staff turnover. But these past two days, they were incredibly busy.

Even after the algorithm's intelligent screening of hundreds of thousands of applications, more than 2,000 remained. And this number is still slowly increasing.

The speed at which he and Xu Weiwei reviewed the documents was simply a drop in the bucket.

"Well... I remember we have an administrative director who's specifically in charge of human resources. How about... let him share the responsibility? And if we can get the other eight professors to look at it together, it should be almost done."

"Recruiting just one person won't be very effective."

"You make sense." Xu sighed.

"I'll discuss it with them."

Although she said so, Xu Weiwei knew in her heart that this was a very difficult matter.

They joined the research center just two days ago and chose to live in the staff dormitory as soon as they arrived in order to familiarize themselves with the environment as quickly as possible and to integrate into the team more quickly.

"Onboarding", holding all-hands meetings, assigning team members and tasks, all of this was completed within a day. Now everyone is working in full swing.

Not only do they have to guide their team members in professional aspects, but they also have to make up for their own shortcomings in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine as quickly as possible. Each of them looks decades younger - as busy as their grandchildren.

As for Finn, he will go to Planet 9527 to supervise the work in another week.

This batch of herbs performed very well. They thrived under the care of the electronic nanny and matured more than half a month earlier than expected.

During this period, if Finn has no other plans, he can help.

Just as I was thinking of sending a message to ask, there was a knock on the office door.

The person who came was Finn.

After knocking twice politely, he pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing it was him, Xu Weiwei was pleasantly surprised and said, "I just happened to need you for something. Speak of the devil and he'll appear."

"Really? What's the matter?" Finn blinked and walked over to sit next to Xu Weiwei.

"There are too many resumes for recruitment and I can't read them all." Xu Weiwei looked as if she had lost all hope in life.

"Let me see—" He bent down, one hand on the back of the chair, the other working on the computer. The pleasant smell on his body ran into Xu Weiwei's nose through molecular movement.

She took a deep breath quietly and wanted to ask Finn what perfume he used, but it seemed a bit inappropriate to ask that at this time.

"Have you considered your zodiac sign?"

"constellation?"

"Or something like the Enneagram."

"No. I don't think this thing is that accurate and can be matched one-to-one to everyone."

"You're right. There are exceptions to everything, but generally speaking, there's a certain rationality. And luck is also part of strength, isn't it? If you're destined to be with our organization, you'll eventually meet."

Finn began typing on his computer. Finally, he hit the Enter key. Over two thousand resumes were instantly reduced to just over four hundred, a full three-quarters reduction.

Xu Weiwei felt a little reluctant, but she was genuinely happy. "It's still a lot. What should I do?"

"Lucky number, or your contact number."

"This won't do! This is a bit too much." Xu Weiwei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"This is the only way to go on. The base is too large, and all the talents are flocking to you. What should we do, boss?"

Finn spoke slowly, and although he was speaking helplessly, he gave people the feeling that he was in control and nothing could really stump him.

Xu Weiwei told herself: This is just his usual style, no one is omnipotent.

"Hmm—let me think about it."

After leaning back in his chair and thinking intently for a while, Xu Weiwei suddenly had an idea.
