William did have a plan.
If he wanted to enter Faithview Group successfully, it seemed to be extremely difficult now.
But that's because the key point wasn't found.
In William's situation, normal recruitment would definitely not work.
So it was impossible for William to start from the bottom.
How about a referral?
But he didn't know anyone from Faithview.
After all calculations, there was only one conclusion.
Although many companies were now willing to meet the applicants directly to conduct a more intuitive inspection and to save the cost of headhunting, headhunting was still indispensable as a mature talent-matching method.
When William was the vice president of Starlights Group, the company was developing rapidly.
He couldn't avoid dealing with his boss often.
However, an old problem was that the boss only looked for his workers when something happened, but he never understood the specific situation of the company.
Even the HR of Starlights Group was not very expert in recruitment.
At that time, Starlights Group did encounter some problems in talent recruitment.
William personally stepped down and took a middle road.
At the same time, he signed contracts with several external recruitment agencies, turning them into semi-full-time internal resources.
Of course, the cooperative agencies couldn't take high commissions like traditional brokers.
Instead, he used long-term contracts and incentives for performance.
In the end, the effect of this method was quite obvious.
As a result, many companies followed William's approach.
And William also met several good friends in the circle.
This showed William's behavior.
The contract must be fulfilled to the letter.
Occasionally, he would have a meal with a few acquaintances to be friends with them.
During the holidays, he also sent them gifts.
People are emotional animals.
Who wouldn't want to have some backup plans for themselves?
However, the Starlights Group fell too quickly.
And William went in the circle too fast.
After coming out, he was confused for some time.
All he thought about was to call his former boss to find a job.
But he forgot about those few friends.
That night, William invited the two of them out for a drink.
At the table, two old men slapped their chests loudly.
Whichever company William would like to work in would be his referral. Of course, the final decision depends on the company.
William, who was honest enough, explained the causes and consequences of his imprisonment.
Finally, he mentioned that he wanted to go to Faithview Group.
One of them had a confused look on his face
He then asked, "William, why are you thinking so hard about going to Faithview Group?"
William was secretly happy.
Sure enough, people who were in this industry would be better informed.
"Why do you say that?" William quickly acted like he was listening.
The two guys then told him what they knew about Faithview Group's current situation.
As expected, it was similar to what William thought.
On the surface, Faithview Group was still a powerful enterprise group.
But their internal management had become chaotic to a certain extent.
"Last quarter, I recommended four people to Faithview Group, in which they were all hired, and one was the vice president of a subsidiary. Guess what? After just two months of working, the vice president was kicked out!" One of the leaders took a sip of wine and said, "We are not willing to take on Faithview Group's jobs now, because those who go will scold us later!"
Another leader also nodded, "I have seen enough big weird companies, but never such severe ones. I really don't know how Ethan was able to control these people back then!"
Ethan was the founder and chairman of the board of directors of Faithview Group, whose full name was Ethan Gadsby.
The president of Faithview Group, the so-called "general manager," Zoey Gadsby, was his daughter.
And was also the wife of Emma's affair.
William's eyes lit up.
Finally, the topic changed to the father and daughter.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he brought the topic to Jayden Lincoln.
The two guys did not regard William as an outsider, and at the same time, they also felt that something about Zoey Gadsby and Jayden Lincoln was not a secret.
They then opened up the conversation completely.
The couple had been married for four years and had no children.
It was said that Jayden Lincoln was drunk one day, and once said that his wife, Zoey Gadsby, was a hen that could not lay eggs.
Jayden Lincoln's father, who used to be partners with Ethan Gadsby, ended up leaving the group and developed alone.
William's ears perked up.
This news was so precious.
In other words, this couple was definitely not monolithic.
However, that's all the news from these guys.
After all, it was just a cooperative relationship, and most of the information couldn't reach their ears.
William thought for a while before adding two more dishes and ordering a bottle of wine.
He solemnly asked the two of them to help him make recommendations.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the two, William claimed that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of ropes for ten years.
He would rather go to a big company and loaf around than go to a small and medium-sized company, where his future might be uncertain.
The two guys had no doubts.
No matter how bad Faithview Group was, it still had its value.
After a few bottles of wine, the atmosphere became heated.
William directly handed in his prepared electronic resume.
The two guys were indeed professionals. They directly set up their laptops and entered William's information into the system.
William's ideal position was to be above the deputy director of the department.
The head officer looked at his resume and praised him repeatedly, "William, let's be honest. If you have never been in prison with this file, I can recommend you to be a branch manager."
William shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Then I'd appreciate it if you two could help Faithview Group discover more of my good qualities!"
After the small gathering ended, the two guys got into the taxi with dizzy heads.
William stayed to settle the bill.
At the same time, a fragrant breeze passed behind him.
"Hi Jayden, what? Hahaha, isn't Emma enough?"
It was a woman, talking on the phone and walking past William with a smile.
William immediately lowered his head.
This voice was very familiar to him.
It's Emma's best friend, Aria Parker.
This woman was Emma's roommate in college.
However, the two took completely different routes.
Emma was a part of the student council, a prominent figure in the school, and was always surrounded by boys.
Her boyfriend, at that time, was also a member of the student council.
But Aria was very open-minded.
Since her sophomore year, she found a boyfriend outside of school.
Every weekend, she would be picked up by car.
The clothes she wears are obviously several grades higher than those of her classmates.
Looking back, William felt strange.
Looking back to their college era, he was surprised that Emma was not led astray by Aria.
Judging by Emma's condition, it shouldn't be too easy to find a rich man to support her.
When he was courting Emma, Aria was the one who disrupted the situation.
More than once, she belittled William in front of Emma.
Thank God that William was well-educated.
He didn't argue with her.
In his opinion, the woman, Aria Parker,
Aria categorized people into two groups, rich or poor.
The friends she chose to befriend depended on whether that person was helpful to her.
William would not be surprised if she did anything for material enjoyment.
As Aria Parker was a typical angelic bitch.
Her words just now seemed to mention Emma, which made William more vigilant.
Aria walked out of the hotel and did not get in the car. Instead, she walked on the street while answering the phone.
William hurried a few steps and caught up with Aria a few meters away.
He kept his head down and started eavesdropping.
