100 million annual salary.
Chengyuan Bo from Beijing company Tencent has been a commitment, before, he met several times with each other before it. This much higher than his R & D center in Beijing Google's salary, but his heart was still fighting.
thrown over before the Chinese New Year Hydrangea, so Chengyuan Bo hesitated for some time. the future seems very uncertain, but Google, after all, had given Many of his sense of belonging. Like most Google employees, like Cheng Yuanbo graduation from the elite into Google, he liked the atmosphere of freedom with relative ease and encourage the culture of passion.
Chengyuan Bo would like to inquire about the situation of my colleagues to see see everyone's movements. for how to say this, he thought for a long time, because the surface, they did not show significant changes. He pretended inadvertently usually privately asked a few colleagues have good relationship with recruiter approached, there to say yes, then the answer is no more.
how a recruiter willing to idle time?
early as the end of December last year, Van der Alex Cho, CEO of international executive search firm know that Google because his main job is to inquire daily information on each company, so they must attack.
turn of the year is the peak hopping, Alex Cho and Google employees in a chat occasionally heard, Google headquarters of China's increasingly tightening dissatisfied with the review system, may reduce investment in China. He did not know this company will be announced in two weeks after a shocking decision, but experience tells him: this may be a precursor to layoffs, Google the opportunity here!
Alex Cho quickly wrote a report for submission to their customers. his company's large customers, there are a few that do a search portal business, they are all Google engineers has long coveted , , Alex Cho suddenly accelerated pace of work. He knew her chance.
Alex Cho 5, the company's IT group deployed over the follow-up of all personal Google. they possess a core of more than 180 engineers, the Google list, of which 1 / 5 people are very familiar with this before, while the remaining 4 / 5 people will need to quickly establish contact, at least before the rush of other executive search firm.
He asked members who start from an acquaintance, one by one contact, telephone, e-mail , SMS, MSNhh any possible information should be collected, can not let go, and then were thoroughly those Xinmian Kong.
customer side of the heart has become urgent matter, hit Alex Cho's phone here, from HR rose to vice president level or even CEO level. he felt like a race against time into the battle, had to put aside all other business hands.
he organized daily meetings, and analyze new information obtained in person Check the m not going well with some Google employees are not welcome to search, and some engineers to be seven or eight or even daily search of telephone harassment, the phone is quite emotional conflict.
creativity and idealism, and the company's treatment generally higher than the industry, many employees are going to stay forever, they can not accept these changes. quick success, we must learn to listen, understand needs, gain their trust.
news for the withdrawal of China, Google does not like the inside to the outside world they have shown so calm. different views of staff, some continue to support for Google's all, it was also a time feel very shocked, that the leadership was too impulsive, and others have the feeling of being abandoned.
before the Spring Festival period of time, Alex Cho is necessary to the company at eight o'clock every day , the first thing to do is to open the computer to see the United States and China, the financial media on the latest Google reported m the event too much uncertainty in the face of his need to determine what to do next.
He and his advisers one after another meeting about the talk with some acquaintances, for those high-level Google engineers, by himself personally.
by Alex Cho own experience, he generally chose to call the time at night, so you can have enough time and other communication. as long as the other party to show a trace of loose, he would first listen to each other about their own situation, and then help to analyze the fate of m for the other he wants to know: search is not a robber, but friends. He went to America for Google headquarters, gave him such a proposal. The key is sincerity, because you face a group of very smart people. He saw people inside Google search of the resistance began to slowly ease. International clients not a meet.
had a Chinese New Year, there is a marked change things. With the Google company employees mood has stabilized and even began to take the initiative to contact some headhunters.
Alex Cho led his team to the big 5 on the list of 180 people have done a full communication, intention and leads by screening a total of 15 people willing to work with executive search and intention of the company do in-depth communication and understanding. In the meantime, Alex Cho, see row of 6 higher level in the Google engineers. he found the attitude of these people has become very pragmatic, chief selling point is not that high, began to value the future opportunities and development of job-hopping things would also like more detailed and comprehensive .
adoption and frequent contact with Google employees, Zhaocheng Long is the first time that many people change jobs, they are unsophisticated, not very familiar with the situation on the outside, but also very critical of the treatment m the new company, reputation, personal development are they taken into consideration, most of them hope the new company is directly responsible for something.
and Chengyuan Bo, they also constantly snooping around the trend. But certainly not everyone will speak the truth . situation is really special, these are used to solve the technical problems engineers must learn to colleagues, superiors and put a different face search, even if somewhat accustomed to, and embarrassing.
Alex Cho contacted a Bit customers directly favored Google engineers. talked to, they after a walk around the HR business line directly to the special meeting, the results of two hit it off, intent agreement signed soon completed. The Google engineers to a new company from a purely technical workers to become a project leader. World War II to win the first business units.
Chengyuan Bo is used to consider the Lunar New Year holiday, he decided to check out the intention of the agreement, but in no hurry to leave, but then have to wait until April to sign a formal Tencent consider m when the contract is widely rumored that Google will officially close at 4 Google.cn website Chinese version.
Finally, make a decision of compensation. too willing to go to domestic companies such as Baidu continues to do a search. Headquarters hands. Google China as being completely isolated with headquarters in after the event, Staff opened the video conference, and told them this close to 300 research and development team are likely to retain, but it is not yet final. They can also serve as the existence of Google China R & D center, following a contract from the United States over the R & D headquarters project. But 300 people will no longer be carried out for research and development for the Chinese local business and need to undertake from headquarters or other countries development tasks, which means that the role of these R & D engineers is inevitable that some marginalized. It is also considering a career change Chengyuan Bo One of the reasons for him to take a leading role Tencent means that the entire career to this change, but not when the dust settled, he did not want to leave.
Google will give a pretty good compensation. to some advertising site.
have their own website and become a Google Advertising Deng Xiaonan who has been closely watching Google's 2007, Deng Xiaonan website joined the Google Adsense advertising network. Now, his Web site every day about 1.3 million unique IP, 3.5 million page views, Google's revenue from about $ 1,000 a month / month. These past few years thanks to Deng Xiaonan spare time outside of work at work running his own website, increase traffic and search engine optimization techniques painstaking research.
For him, every month from Google about 1000 U.S. dollars Advertising is divided into a lot of money in addition to income other than wages. The part-time from the January peak period traffic and clicks, March ad revenue from Google about 15% to 20% decline. Deng Xiaonan own analysis of this seasonal factor. Therefore, the current point of view, in fact, his website revenue no significant effect in particular, but also because it was still operating www.google.cn m its fate until March 23 was only announced Google U.S. headquarters.
to the network (the world's largest vertical media TripAdvisor.com Travel Chinese official website) CEO, Hao also do not want to shut down Google China website, If Google evacuated, after advertising on the keywords we may or Sogou Baidu key consideration. Google's technology, Hao hope that the introduction of the Google people, , Hao quickly contacted Google know friends, friends met through some Google people. By this way, Google R & D staff, because he wanted to do only one thing, it is transferred to the U.S. headquarters to.
PhD from Tsinghua University who has just 30 years old, and have had no girlfriend, engaged in R & D Google is his first a job.
Johnson still clearly remember three years ago through the layers of the interview he came to Google, the human resources staff to give him a sub-station, and asked him what kind of furniture expects, Johnson felt accident, office supplies he wanted a budget. He saw my colleagues, some bought on the station next to the swing, and some even bought a toy train on the table. Although a small detail, but that was very ironing Johnson posts. After three years, Johnson for their first job this growing sense of belonging. .
1 13, just as Google said in a statement, unusually busy, classmates, friends and even thousands of miles away whose parents have to ask: project.
Google China R & D centers close to 300 research and development engineers, is the result of picked and chose only an engineer to get this In a second test to get high scores, employment experience in another winter, the group holds the hands of several people who envy Offer. from high school, college to graduate students, who have been accustomed to do first, get used to choice, where by doing so reported that Google China office is closed, staff have received>> notification messages will soon leave.
before the big storm, Google China R & D center's overall performance is very mature, but can not inhibit the heart of each individual The ups and downs.
Fortunately, Johnson has a dedicated engineering students, he had intended to do a good job.
headquarters to the United States, for him, is like a journey filled with anticipation. That not only means was to remain in this company, but also access to the core of the R & D work and experience have no taste, out of shape, authentic Google culture. If the successful transfer, the company headquarters to help him back RBI all the m a in the United States can be considered quite favorable treatment, caring welfare, but even you have to bring along their beloved pet cat to the United States Mountain View, Google will be finding ways to make your cat safe delivery to arrive. no distress suffered, you can dressed comfortable, even the green card will be green all the way. than those to the U.S. by Chinese students, compared to the United States to prepare their graduates into the world, so that the future is too tempting the.
order to achieve this goal, Johnson has to do almost everything can do. He pulls out before the trip to the U.S. headquarters contact colleagues know, especially not miss the managers of relevant departments, he frequently contact with them, establish a good relationship, clear to them that their willingness to transfer and display their creativity and friendship.
However, Johnson did not dare to let other Chinese colleagues know this, so that department managers in particular to avoid high-round know. He of the immediate female boss attentive and very concerned about its loyalty, Johnson needs to ensure that if the transfer is not successful, they still have a chance to stay in China to work at Google.
After some effort, Johnson finally persuaded the headquarters of a department manager to accept his transfer process m which is the most important step, and to rely on colleagues and the exchange of Google headquarters, they even made friends. transfer seems not far away, has been just around the corner.
March 10, Johnson's mood quickly fell to the bottom. he and his colleagues got the news, Google China, the headquarters staff transfer to the United States to freeze the number of places.
Johnson could not suppress a deep disappointment. that their transfer hopeless, he abnormal depressed, very tired a few days, their efforts have been wasted dozens of days of silence, but now this result, Johnson can not disclose a trace of Google China.
like this for the international executive search firm Van der and customers behind it, I am afraid is good news.
Alex Cho on Google China was: core R & D department this year will leave most people, only a small number of people to leave, but if removed Google.cn , Google headquarters in China will inevitably reduce the input of those who left were those left behind would also have a subtle influence, the future people will gradually leave.
3 month, Vanderbilt has won three international agreements of the list of intentions. Now, the poaching operation continues. before the signing of the four individuals are all just graduated a few years, Google's junior staff, Alex Cho dug up some real hope that the next step to the technical backbone. in the executive search industry, general business rules customer demand, the search of finding people. But this time, Alex Cho to take the initiative, he would write a set of suitable candidates that includes job and pay the program recommends that customers adopt.
usually commissioned by a large company will often four or five executive search firm for the same time digging people are around each search Google secretly busy in China. Now Google within many of the core engineers are holding several Offer, once it finally clear, they will make a choice, signed formal contract.
dug in the media blew the whistle on the corner of the Google list of large companies, there were many bright names, in addition to Tencent, there are Microsoft, Sohu, Netease, Alibaba, and even Huawei.
At this point some small companies are itching heart. there are a few medium-sized companies IT industry CEO, International Director of Human Resources to find Van der dig people, and promised to spend more than what the industry into a double after the intermediary costs, but Alex Cho that Google's engineers would not consider going there.
these days is for Alex Cho, destined to forget. He and eight total Google engineers had dinner. He and his colleagues had prepared a message to wait for Google announced that day. For the headhunters who, it is a harvest season.
headhunters greatest resistance comes not from Google China Human departments organized resistance, but the company has long been a sense of belonging and identity : Google has been told his staff for the work they are not working, but given the passion and vision to work, and Google really did m m Now, how to use favorable conditions for people to Google for other companies are tempted?
most crucial is that it is not Google ah.
in all of them into a waiting time, Johnson has decided which team to leave the center of the storm.
they began on February 15 from 3 to discuss collective vacation travel options. the team is given two options: to Wuyuan rape and to Xi'an to see, and let everyone vote for travel sites.
team members are the voting results of Wuyuan. Johnson in a bad mood even did not have time to vote again in the evening received a new message, the collective has become a vacation place in Xishuangbanna. the original, the manager of Xi'an High-circle are not the Wuyuan and out, select Yunnan.
in the eye of Johnson and Cheng Yuanbo , the high round its own reason for her to relax her m U.S. companies from Google employees, for employees like this, even if the worst happens, they can go back to Mountain View to work.
However, Google China, the number of employees at headquarters is not much preparation. In this stage, high round also can not stand on their own team members. is small, she made more silent than before.
the Travel breath the first, second and third quarter cost of all team activities have been advances with the m for the third quarter of the budget, we did not express any objection. And, for this very moment the sudden collective vacation travel, there is no were absent.
Yes, do stay in Beijing? might as well go to a vacation then .3 17, the team embarked on an unknown journey.
3 月 21 pm, they returned to Beijing. March 23ac 3 at 3:00 pm, Google senior vice president, chief legal officer David. Drummond public statements, announced the closure of Google.cn, and to search services go to Hong Kong from the Mainland. < br> 2007 年 6 months, when he was Google vice president and Greater China president Kai-fu Lee revealed to the media, Google's servers are from the United States to China. then it is considered to be Google, also moved.
3 23 morning, Google's headquarters is responsible for engineering and research Alan Eustace, senior vice president, came to Beijing, held a staff general meeting. He spoke of the specific arrangements for the product line. He published a general data, said revenue in China, the search was not high proportion of total profit. He said, Google's search server to Hong Kong, the other products still remain in the Mainland m which means that Whether R & D or sales team can continue to work temporarily down.
someone asked to search for specific ratio; someone asked to do so in the end are we going? scene too many people, almost inaudible Johnson, vice president of the answer.
