獵頭和去職輔導 從前,不少地方都有獵頭族,即 headhunters。他們習慣把敵人頭顱砍下來作戰利品。今天,headhunters的工作變了質:這些獵頭者或獵頭公司,專門為顧客招攬其他公司的人才,而這些人才一般都是機構的頭領級人物。動詞是headhunt,常用被動語態,例如:(1) He was headhunted by a publishing company for the position of editor-in-chief(一家出版社以獵頭方式邀他出任總編輯)。(2) A headhunter has approached me about a job with a major financial institution(有獵頭公司問我有沒有興趣出任一家大金融機構的職位)。 Headhunt一般是挖走其他公司的職員,這「挖走」英文叫poach,例如:Our competitor has poached one of our best programmers(我們的商業對手挖走了我們一位優秀的程式設計員)。和headhunting agency(獵頭公司)工作性質相反的,是outplacement agency(去職輔導公司)。Outplace是指一家機構為他們解僱的職員提供心理和就業輔導,往往是聘請專業的去職輔導公司負責,例如:The outplacement agency has a brilliant record in helping outplaced employees find jobs(這家去職輔導公司,在協助被解僱職員就業上,成績輝煌)。一些人情味濃厚的公司有意解僱職員,會悄悄先為他們謀得其他職位,其他公司即以「獵頭」方式延聘。這些職員主動辭職時,還不知道是上司的安排,這種解僱方式叫做hidden outplacement(隱蔽的去職輔導)。 |
