"Whether it's survival or development, talent is the key." A few days ago, Ren Zhengfei proposed at the recruitment forum of R & D fresh students that "2021-2022 is our strategic year of tackling key problems, and the strategic focus should be put on the front end. We should not only maintain a normal R & D budget, but also increase billions of dollars in funding for tackling key problems. From the perspective of strategic pattern, we need to have a "new flow" coming in to let our blood vessels flow with youthful blood. "

On July 11, a reporter from time weekly contacted the relevant person in charge of Huawei about the recruitment of "gifted youth" and other related issues, but no reply was received.

"Talented youth" appreciated by Huawei leaders

Huazhong University of science and technology is also known as "the mother's home of Huawei" because it sends a large number of excellent graduates to China every year.

At present, six graduates of Huazhong University of science and technology have been selected as Huawei's "gifted teenagers", two of whom have received the highest annual salary of 2.01 million yuan.

Liao Minghui, who got the top salary of 2.01 million yuan this year, was admitted to the school of telecommunications of Huazhong University of science and technology in 2012. In 2016, he joined Professor Bai Xiang's team for master's and doctoral studies, and his research direction is computer vision.

During his study, Liao Minghui published 10 top-level conferences / journals, including two top-level journals (all highly cited papers by ESI), seven top-level conferences and one second district journal. Google cited more than 1900 times.

From 2019 to 2020, Liao Minghui went to Johns Hopkins University for joint training. At the same time, he is the reviewer of several top journals and conferences, including tpami, IJCV, tip, tnnls, iccv, ECCV, CVPR, AAAI, IJCAI, etc.

"His academic success is something that few doctors in China can achieve. We are not surprised to get the offer of" gifted youth. " Liu Zhe, a doctoral student in the same laboratory, commented on Liao Minghui.

Wu Minyan, a graduate of School of computer science of Huazhong University of science and technology, is another "gifted youth" selected this year.

"Working party", "fanatical stamp collector" and "keen to deal with people" are Wu Minyan's comments on himself. According to a workplace social networking platform, Wu Minyan has practiced in Google, ant financial services, Microsoft China and other well-known enterprises.

Huazhong University of science and technology computer school teacher evaluation of her, comprehensive ability is very strong, in the job, comprehensive ability to give her a lot of points.

It is not easy to be selected as Huawei's "gifted youth".

"As we all know, Huawei has a resource pool." According to an anonymous Huawei employee, for example, if there is a shortage of 200 applicants for a certain product line, about 2000 resumes will be selected from the resume senders by school, major, etc. About 500 people who have passed the written examination and interview are put into the resource pool. Then 200 offers will be issued according to the comprehensive scores of written examination and interview. Finally, 100 people will sign the contract, and then 100 offers will be issued in order... Until the offer is signed.

Zhang Ji, who got the top salary of Huawei's "gifted youth" in 2020, said that Huawei's interview generally needs to go through seven rounds, including resume screening, written examination, first interview, supervisor interview, several minister interviews, President interview and HR interview. Every link will go through strict assessment and screening, so there will be many challenges and obstacles. Any link with problems or poor performance may fail, which is very difficult.

On July 11, Huawei insiders in the same department as Zhang Ji told Time Weekly: "the leaders gave him a very good evaluation and praised him for his ideas."

Plan to recruit 8000 new students

The "gifted youth" program was launched in Huawei's crisis.

In May 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce listed Huawei and its 70 subsidiaries on the "entity list" for national security reasons, and prohibited U.S. enterprises from selling related technologies and products to China.

Next month, Ren Zhengfei mentioned in a speech of EMT, the company's management team, "we need to recruit 20-30 talented teenagers from all over the world, and recruit another 200-300 next year. These talented teenagers are like" loach ", drilling our organization and activating our team.".

Then, an e-mail issued by Ren Zhengfei from Huawei's president office showed eight talented teenagers who had won Huawei's top salary. Their wages are paid according to the annual wage system, with a total of three grades of 896000-108000 yuan, 1405000-1565000 yuan and 1820000-2010000 yuan respectively.

"It should be very difficult for the United States to take us off the entity list." In February this year, Ren Zhengfei said frankly in an interview with the media that Huawei basically did not think about this issue, but did a good job in products and services, welcomed scientists to join, and could afford talents.

Ren Zhengfei thinks about how Huawei will sail if someone turns off the lighthouse. His answer is that he attaches importance to education and talents, focuses on basic scientific research and "penetrates the sky upward and roots downward".

According to incomplete statistics by time weekly, so far, Huawei has recruited 17 "gifted teenagers", five of whom get the highest annual salary of 2.01 million yuan. At present, the "gifted youth" program is still recruiting globally.

In the recruitment poster, Huawei proposed "no limit to academic qualifications, no limit to schools", hoping to recruit talents who have made great achievements in the fields of digital, computer, physics, materials, chips, intelligent manufacturing, chemistry, etc., and are willing to become leaders.

Huawei's official website also mentioned that Zuo Pengfei and Li Yi, who were selected as Huawei's "gifted youth" in 2019, have been engaged in cloud storage research and formal verification of operating system in Huawei.

"We should dare to absorb talents at home and abroad, and not stick to one pattern to reduce talents." In October 2020, Ren Zhengfei proposed at the Symposium on recruitment of new year's R & D personnel that the number of new year's students to be recruited next year should be expanded to at least 8000, but those who come in must be excellent talents. Huawei has enough capital and space to accommodate the world's talents and give full play to their creative talents.
