Job selection, every generation has pursuit and persistence. Post-00s who have been labeled with various labels also show unique personalities in their job searches - they can be called the generation with the most concept of workplace equality, and they generally believe that employees and companies are cooperative relationships. Since it is cooperation, we should benefit and respect each other. The era of giving everything for the company and being crazy about 996 has long passed. Opposing invalid overtime and rejecting PUA (mind control) is their view of work. Facing the job hunting season when graduation, it is even popular for young people in this class to conduct "reverse background checks" on their employers (hereinafter referred to as "reverse back tune") before the interview.
Background investigation usually occurs during interviews. The employer consults the applicant's graduation school, former company and other relevant persons to verify the authenticity of the applicant's background information. This link mostly occurs in social recruitment. However, the post-00s with a unique personality gave a "counterattack" to the traditional sense of backtracking - before they started to actively conduct "survey" the employer's working environment, salary situation, corporate culture, etc. through various methods to understand the employer's situation more comprehensively and prepare for entering the workplace.
is mainly against the guest, and "reverse back-tuning" is becoming the first step for post-00s to enter the workplace
As the graduation season approaches, Zhou Xu, a fresh graduate of a master's degree from a university in Zhejiang, has successively received employment offers from many "big factories". With the detailed "back-tuning" made to various companies in the early stage, he "basically all the questions are under control" during the interview process of five companies.
In fact, as early as before the autumn recruitment began in June last year, Zhou Xu had already clarified his requirements for the company, and had a multi-faceted understanding of the relevant situation of the company, and sorted it from high to low according to its importance: location, industry, platform size, salary level and corporate cultural background. After screening based on this primary demand, only five or six companies were left before Zhou Xu. When the conditions of the remaining companies were not very different in various aspects, he finally chose to join a company that he thought was more dynamic and innovative.
Zhou Xu’s job search experience is not an isolated case.
Chen Ran, a fresh undergraduate graduate from a key university in Beijing, also made plans for her future employment environment before looking for a job. She yearns for a relatively relaxed and free working environment, so she eliminates a large number of traditional companies. As a student majoring in financial management, in order to improve her professional capabilities, she ultimately aims toward the Internet "big manufacturers" and well-known accounting firms. On this basis, on the one hand, she collected information from the firm through the Internet - not only searched for information from the official website, but also searched for more sharing from employees in various types of apps; on the other hand, she used her holidays to intern in these firms, and personally experienced the work environment and understood the work content. With this, she finally signed an agreement with her favorite firm and was about to officially join the company.
Is "reverse back-tuning" common in this class of graduates' job search?
A HR from the real estate industry said that in the campus recruitment of 2022 college graduates, the post-00s showed obvious enthusiasm for interrogating employer information and seemed to be prepared. Not only did they inquire about the details of the company, but they also asked the interviewer's professional history. Some people also compared the information obtained on site with the information they had mastered in advance to verify the reliability of the information.
Hunan University counselor Yu Hanyu also said that this situation has always been among graduates. "For many years, we have often encouraged students to do 'career interviews' in employment guidance, which is a kind of research on employers. The most common thing is to contact seniors who have already worked in the unit, or to understand the specific work situation, salary and position development on some job search websites and forums.However, in recent years, as most of the graduates are born in the 1995s and 2000s, some of them have become more and more diverse, detailed and detailed in the back-tuning of employers. "
takes the initiative. How do young job seekers check the company's old status?
How do young job seekers "reverse back-tuning" the company? It is understood that "reverse back-tuning" on the Internet has been summarized into different "ranks" - the most basic operation is to view the company from various online app information and go to the recruitment website to learn about similar positions; furthermore, to find senior brothers and sisters or "friends" who have worked in the company to intern and work in the company to find out the inside story; the advanced version is to compare it in the salary tool. Salary level, from the company query website, check the boss's background, and even look at the investors and their investment logic behind the company.
»Look at the trend review
Search for "Dianping" in the job search industry
After receiving the company's interview notice, Xu Kai, as a fresh college graduate, was not too excited, but chose to go to the social platform to find out the trend review. "Can you search for companies such as 'XX worth going to? ’What kind of experience is it like to work at XX Company’, many people are willing to share their experiences and experiences, and some people record video network logs to present the office environment and work status from the first perspective. "
" and recruitment websites will also launch a list of "Jobs and Go", which is similar to the "Dianping" in the job search industry, and can also obtain a lot of information. "Xu Kai will first check the ratings of the target company," and score them from four aspects: salary and benefits, personal development, team atmosphere, and business prospects, and provide the job distribution of the rated employees. "In addition, he will also carefully read specific comments from the company's employees or employees who have left. "If there are many people under a company who complain that ' is serious in-volume ', 1 person's job is recruited to 3 people, and 6 people are collected, and it is pushed and rotated like a machine, then you have to think about it. "As a "quasi-post-00s", Xu Kaige is particularly concerned about the cost-effectiveness and experience of his work. "It is really not worth the loss to trade the so-called high salary by overdrawing his body. "
»Focus details
Know the "black history" of employers
Although the comment information can provide a lot of "information", Zhao Lin, who is looking for a job, does not intend to "accept everything as required". For some small and medium-sized enterprises with low popularity, Zhao Lin prefers to "find details" on commercial information service platforms such as " Days of Eye Cha " or " Qicha ".
In the company background module, Zhao Lin will first check the basic situation of such as establishment date, business status, business scope, etc. . "A company that has just been established, maybe its own structure has not been straightened out, and the risks will be greater. As for business scope, you can at least check whether the official website is consistent, and then check whether the recruitment position matches the main business. "In addition, she will also pay special attention to the number of insured people. "Some companies claim that there are thousands of people, but the number of insured people is only a dozen. It is very likely that there are a large number of outsourcing positions, and it is difficult to guarantee , five insurances and one fund, . "As for judicial risks and business risks, there is even more knowledge. "When looking at legal litigation, first confirm whether the employer is a plaintiff or a defendant, and then look at the specific cause of the case. If there are a large number of 'labor disputes', you must carefully analyze whether there are any problems such as wage arrears. Once shows that there are records of dishonest debtors and restricted consumption orders, you should also pay attention to it. " Zhao Lin found that information such as abnormal business operations, administrative penalties and even serious violations can help herself fully understand the "black history" of employers.
The same is true, and news and public opinion is also an important clue. "If a company is always plagued by negative consequences, you must be vigilant. "Cheng Lei, who is a financial professional, said that the background investigation at a higher level is to outline a three-dimensional portrait of the company in multiple dimensions such as financial strength, team building, and technical level based on the company's annual report, investment and financing situation, equity structure, recruitment information, announcement research reports, intellectual property rights and other materials, so as to infer the corresponding development prospects and welfare benefits.
»Bright eyes
Don't believe that "big cake" is deeply trapped in the quagmire
"In the past, many job seekers were in a relatively passive state and did not fully understand the employer. They just unilaterally accepted background investigations of themselves. And now, more and more job seekers have the awareness of risk prevention and control and have begun to actively investigate the situation of employers. This is an improvement and it is indeed very necessary." Beijing Jingshi Law Firm lawyer Lin Fuming believes. He said that the entry threshold for is not high nowadays, and it is easy to set up a company. Registered capital does not require actual payment but subscribe. Job seekers must keep their eyes open and not be deceived by seemingly bluffing numbers, nor do they easily believe in the "big pie" drawn by employers. "In the process of job hunting, at least we must first figure out the employer's main business, especially industries with relatively high risks. We must verify it from multiple parties and make prudent decisions."
Lin Fuming suggested that job seekers make full use of the existing multiple inquiry channels to understand the employer's relevant information as comprehensively as possible. "The national enterprise credit information disclosure system launched by the State Administration for Market Regulation is an official information collection and disclosure platform. The information on it is authoritative, timely update and free inquiries. It can conduct detailed background checks on the target companies to avoid possible business risks and credit problems." Lin Fuming also mentioned that a lot of information has been connected to the Internet. The relevant litigation situation of the company can be found through the Judgment Document Network . The China Execution Information Disclosure Network can view the list of dishonest debtors, all of which are for reference.
Young job seekers who love "reverse back-tuning" and use self-expression to bring new atmosphere to the workplace
Starting from "reverse back-tuning", this generation of young people are using their subjective consciousness to bring new atmosphere to the workplace. Faced with many inherent workplace traditions, this group of graduates are resisting with a sharp edge. For example, in the face of the "bianming culture" that is prevalent in many Internet giants, many students of Li Li, a senior student at Peking University, called it "a way to cut off social ties" and opposed it. Even, they will have more "restless" plans - although Chen Ran successfully joined the top accounting firm, she plans to resign after three to five years of work and continue her campus career.
desires equality, pursues self-expression, attaches importance to one's own legitimate rights and interests, and dares to raise objections... All of this will slowly force enterprises to make changes - standardize operations, optimize the work environment, and attaches importance to the rights and interests of applicants, thereby creating a more reasonable workplace environment.
from , Teacher Liang, counselor from , Dalian University of Technology, observed that many companies are not opposed to the "reverse back-tuning". "I learned that classmates will make mistakes on companies that they are interested in but do not understand. In fact, the companies also cooperate with the students' investigation, because companies also know that some things are publicly beneficial to attract talents."
However, some college teachers also suggest that college students need to understand rationally while conducting "reverse backwards". Yu Hanyu said that her view on "reverse back tone" is two-sided. "Some students have relatively mature career development awareness, and their understanding of the industry, career, and market are relatively comprehensive. They can analyze the pros and cons of each position according to their own characteristics and weigh the choices with a developmental perspective. I support the choices of this part of the students; but I also see from the Internet that some students have not done their own analysis and rational external understanding. They are more simple and subjective to read some online information and evaluations, such as 'average annual salary per capita million', and people are persuading to withdraw from any company and position search. In the process of reverse back-to-back, we must also adhere to the view that 'what suits you is the best', and not simply measure a position by whether you work overtime or not, or how much annual salary is."
Yu Hanyu suggested that if graduates have the opportunity, they can try to enter the target industry and position to practice, truly experience the actual work content and different corporate atmospheres, and adjust their expectations and goals in actual combat.
