Chapter 222 Recruitment
Wayne first chatted with these strangers who were interested in joining the detective agency.

It can be regarded as a preliminary acquaintance between each other.

It is not difficult to understand the motivations of a few strangers who want to join the detective agency. What they most want to discuss face to face with Wayne, the founder of the detective agency, are actually three main types of issues.

"If I join a detective agency, will I really no longer have to worry about the local church?"

"Does the detective agency really only take 30% of the profits from each commission, and only 51% at most including the management, and the rest of the profits will be distributed to the members?"

"Suppose I don't want to be a bounty hunter anymore, or I want to leave the detective agency, can I really leave normally?"

Doug sounded like a relatively "sincere" interviewer. He didn't exaggerate too much when introducing the detective agency, and his answers were quite detailed, even a little conservative on some questions.

So what Wayne needed to do at this time was very simple. As the founder of the detective agency, he had to answer and confirm their questions one by one in person.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Wayne knew that these people were bounty hunters and extraordinary people who only dared to be active in western Virginia and near the state border. He asked several interested parties to wait in Doug's room.

Then he pulled Doug over for a private chat.

If the detective agency is regarded as an "organization", then this is the first time that recruitment has been carried out without the step of "partners determining the intended candidates in advance".

However, for an organization, as long as it can grow to a certain size, such things are almost bound to happen.

——Even in a slightly larger manor, ordinary servants would often not be interviewed one by one by the manor owner himself.

If we look at it from an optimistic point of view, this means that the detective agency has begun to get on the right track of development, and some matters no longer need the partners to intervene, and can be carried out normally.
But if we interpret it from a pessimistic perspective, it may mean that the partners will gradually move away from controlling the new members of the detective agency, and things like "internal factions" may gradually emerge.

Wayne and his colleagues had already considered similar issues when they were considering allowing the so-called "offices" to recruit staff on their own.
Therefore, the right to decide whether an external member can become an "agent" of the detective agency was finally concentrated in the hands of the detective agency's "partner meeting".

For an outsider to become a member of a detective agency, he or she must go through three processes: "recruitment", "inspection" and "confirmation", which roughly correspond to "recruitment", "internship" and "formal employment" in modern society.
In the imagined "detective agency archive", each agent will have his or her own file, which will include the signatures of the recruiter and investigator, as well as the minutes of the meeting confirming the acceptance.

Doug is relatively familiar with the process in this regard, or the detectives in the detective agency actually know the general idea more or less.
What Wayne did for Doug at this time was mainly ideological work:

"Doug, the head of the detective agency office should be a non-permanent appointment in our conception, and will be rotated every once in a while. At that time, the personnel arrangements of other detectives in the office may not be adjusted at the same time, so if you intend to recruit them, you may have to hurry up during this period to lead them to familiarize themselves with the detective agency as soon as possible, form a preliminary opinion report, and then submit it to the partners' meeting after inspection." Our detective agency is still small in scale, and many internal processes are still being explored. But some things still need to be standardized from the beginning, and Doug, as a member of our detective agency's initial team, you must play a leading role in this regard.

"By the way, in order not to dampen your enthusiasm, I still have to say something in advance - not all recruits will eventually become new members of the detective agency. The inspection and confirmation process is designed for this purpose, so if something like that really happens, I hope you can keep your own opinion and respect the decision of the detective agency."

Doug's attitude was very good. He nodded as he listened, and finally made a statement to Wayne:
"Don't worry, sir. I will take good care of them. As for the follow-up arrangements, I and other detectives will support the decision of the detective agency. In fact, Ryan and I don't have much desire to become the head of the office. We just feel that we, the members who came earlier, cannot lose to others. After all, legal organizations like the detective agency that pay well are rare. We also hope that the detective agency can develop smoothly."

After giving Doug a "vaccination", all that's left is to give him some chicken soup.

So Wayne patted Doug on the shoulder and said, "Then let's work together."

Back in Doug's room, Wayne reiterated the detective agency's requirements and answered some of their questions again.
Finally, these people were packaged up as reserve "trainee agents" and given to Doug to lead.

If I can get a relatively long-term commission, I might be able to get in touch with the bounty hunters I met in Kanks City before.

Although in theory the "recruiter" and "investigator" of new members of the detective agency should be different people, for example, ordinary detectives can introduce or recruit people they are familiar with, and then the head of the office or small team will conduct the investigation and finally submit it to the partners,
But the detective agency does not have the conditions for this now, so Doug can only take part of the responsibility for the investigation, while Wayne, Inisalina and the other three will be responsible for supervision.

Although a sparrow is small, it cannot be without internal organs.

By the way, Wayne discovered at this time that many processes and norms that are already commonplace in modern society actually seem very predictable in this era.
So Wayne also decided that every new "agent" must at least meet with the partners before becoming a formal "trainee agent", and at the very least, a new employee meeting must be held at the so-called "headquarters".

If there is an opportunity in the future, we can also publish some small newspapers and magazines internally to produce some "local news" or "local common sense" belonging to the detective agency to build consensus.

The detectives must know that they are part of a "detective agency" and not just part of an "office" or a small team.

After finishing all this, Wayne returned to his room to take a shower and prepare for a good night's sleep.
When Wayne came out of the shower, he saw that the big spider Peter had taken out a 5-cent coin from his pile of clothes and was stomping on it with his long legs.

Well……

Is Lina still angry yet?
