Yesterday, there were two pieces of news that deserve your attention.
The first news is that according to Tencent’s official recruiting account, Tencent’s WeChat business group is recruiting 2023 interns, but this year’s WeChat team will not recruit all interns. According to previous news, this year, only students who have been interns in the WeChat team for 2 months are eligible to participate in the formal school recruitment. In addition, this year, the internship positions of the WeChat team are open throughout the year.
In other words: the WeChat team will not be recruiting for all internships this year .
Behind this change, I feel that the answer is obvious, that is: reduce recruitment and practice first before you have the opportunity to join the WeChat team in order to reduce recruitment costs.
Come to the internship first, select some outstanding talents from the internship to stay, this is after two layers of screening, two layers of screening, each time a group of people will be eliminated, which is a sign of shrinking recruitment, and doing so can reduce recruitment and recruitment costs. The cost of resignation, after all, if it is not suitable to lay off employees if it is directly recruited into WeChat in the fall, it will not sound good. Selecting the best from among the best interns is not counted as layoffs.
Another piece of news is that Yao Jinbo, CEO of 58.com, issued an internal letter stating that this year, for all businesses, profitability in the city dimension is the minimum requirement. Realize full-scale profitability as soon as possible. I also believe that if our trading business and industrialization business can be successful, it will definitely feed back our traditional business, feed back the first curve, and make our traditional business better in terms of word of mouth, information quality, scenarios, closed loop, etc. .
How should we look at this matter?
Some people believe that the letter issued by Yao Jinbo, the founder and CEO of 58 Tongcheng, is a positive change to cope with market competition and industry upgrading, and to improve business efficiency and profitability. Some people think that this is a kind of intense involution, because the performance of 58.com is not as good as expected, and it is facing various pressures and challenges, which requires substantial layoffs and business contraction.
Regardless of whether it is reform or introversion, 58 layoffs may be unavoidable. After all, behind this all-staff letter is the contraction of business.
It is said that 58TEG is taking the lead in doing one thing recently, which is to identify which businesses, which directions are to be invested, and which businesses are self-indulgent through any service payment, so as to squeeze out water, lose fat and increase muscle; way to identify high and low team costs.
From now on, when we talk about the team, we will no longer compare the size, but whether we have customers or not, and the degree of customer recognition. The smallest unit of cost will be accounted for in every place and every person, and finally it will be decided whether anyone will pay the bill, thus deciding whether to stay or not.
The middle and back office departments are not management departments, but business departments, responsible for success.
Another point worth noting: Yao Jinbo also mentioned the opportunities and challenges of AI large models, which may be an opportunity no less than that of the Internet back then. If you can seize it is an opportunity, if you don't grasp it, you will be challenged by others. He also stated in the letter that it will take at least three years to prepare for the winter and complete the industrialization upgrade.
This shows that 58 may need to use the AI large model to find opportunities and find the second growth curve of the enterprise to complete the industrial upgrading.
