Enterprise recruitment "on school salary" is suspected of discrimination

The first undergraduate recruitment special session of the 20th15th college graduates in Guangdong Province was held, and a state-level high-tech enterprise in Shenzhen paid attention to the "clearly marked price" of graduates from different colleges. The staff of the company's Shenzhen headquarters said that it is the company's consistent salary system to distinguish the starting salary of fresh graduates according to different levels of institutions.

As early as April 20 13, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Strengthening the Employment Information Service for College Graduates, prohibiting any form of employment discrimination. Among the three prohibitions, "it is forbidden to publish recruitment information limited to 985 colleges and universities and 2 1 1 colleges and universities". However, in practice, the effect is not obvious, because the human resources department of many enterprises has become a tacit "rule" for many enterprises when screening resumes. There are different opinions on the behavior of enterprises paying wages in schools. Who is right and who is wrong? This newspaper published a group of comments in a special issue, hoping that the truth will become clearer and clearer.

The price tag is also the embodiment of educational value.

The Shenzhen company's practice of "discussing salary arrangements with schools" made some graduates feel "unfair". No wonder they all graduated from universities with "nationally recognized academic qualifications", but they encountered "grades three, six and nine" as soon as they joined the company. This feeling is normal under the ubiquitous fairness anxiety. However, from the social evaluation of long-term education quality, different starting salaries are given according to the quality reputation of graduates from different institutions, which actually reflects the value of high-quality education and teaching level.

The quality judgment of college graduates by enterprises comes from observation and evaluation in practice. It should be said that different schools, influenced by teaching resources, teaching level and the quality of students, have different educational products-the overall quality of graduates, and even vary greatly. Although it cannot be ruled out that schools with good reputation have poor quality graduates and general schools have excellent graduates, overall, the overall quality difference of graduates from different schools will not be greatly affected. This choice from the market is often the most intuitive judgment on the quality of school education.

In fact, it is normal to treat graduates from different schools with different starting salaries under the conditions of market economy. In Europe and the United States, where higher education is developed, there are various lists to evaluate the salary and treatment of top university graduates every year. Even in top universities, the treatment of graduates from different schools varies greatly, and some schools even vary greatly. For example, according to a statistical ranking of the salaries of new graduates from top universities in the United States this year by a US organization (NerdScholar), the average salary of the top 50 university graduates (the highest computer science graduate from Carnegie Mellon University) reached $89,800, while Syracuse University ranked 50th. The average salary of engineering and computer science graduates is $5,665,438 (according to The China Journal). Considering the closeness of the top 100 universities in the United States, this gap is not small. This company in Shenzhen divides technical undergraduate courses into five grades: ordinary colleges, key colleges, 2 1 1 engineering colleges, 985 engineering colleges, Tsinghua, Peking University and Electronic Science and Technology University. Considering the huge gap in the level of domestic universities, the starting salary gap of 4000 yuan is not big.

What kind of school you graduate from is the simplest and most direct primary evaluation of graduates who have just entered the society. It reflects the degree of personal efforts, investment in education and the reputation of the school. Without a thorough understanding of a person's work level and ability, it is scientific and reasonable to "set" the ability according to the overall impression of society on college graduates. As for the salary after taking part in the work, it naturally depends on the individual's specific performance after work, which is a "new round" competition between employees' efforts and personal quality. The enterprise's mentality of "believing in quality" is conducive to promoting students' positive progress in the opposite direction, promoting schools to improve their teaching level, and thus improving their reputation. For example, the company raised the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (a school ranked 30th in various lists) to the same height as Tsinghua University and Peking University, which is obviously an acknowledgement of the quality of its graduates in practice.

All along, we lack value respect for the quality of education. Nowadays, some enterprises evaluate the quality of college graduates by grading the starting salary, which is actually the future confidence index of the quality of college education, affirms the value of education quality by market means, and is also a powerful reminder for the education department, especially colleges and universities, to improve the evaluation system of college teaching quality. The establishment of a teaching quality evaluation system that combines on-campus evaluation and market evaluation (social evaluation) is a wake-up call for key universities and an incentive for ordinary universities, which is conducive to more universities working hard on "comparative advantage" according to their own conditions and running their own characteristics and styles instead of "18 martial arts, everything is sloppy".

"On School Salary" is suspected of discrimination

This enterprise in Shenzhen displayed the salary standard before the recruitment booth, and divided the colleges and universities attended by fresh graduates into five grades: ordinary, key, 2 1 1 project, 985 project, Tsinghua, Peking University and Electronic Science and Technology University. Take undergraduates as an example. The starting salary of ordinary college graduates is 5,000 yuan, and then it will increase by 1 10,000 yuan for each level. The monthly salary of undergraduates in Tsinghua and Peking University is 9,000 yuan, while the basic salary of graduate students at each level is 2,000 yuan. Doctoral students only accept institutions above "2 1 1 university".

Now it is a market economy, and employing people also has the characteristics of a market economy. It seems that the compensation policy is the right of the enterprise itself, and others can't make irresponsible remarks. However, salary reflects a unit's human resource management level, which involves fairness and justice factors, which also has an impact on other enterprises, especially on the big employment atmosphere, so it is necessary to discuss it.

Generally speaking, an enterprise with a high level of human resource management can formulate a salary policy that conforms to the actual situation of the company. Whether this policy is good or bad should at least be evaluated as follows: First, it can reflect the equality of labor and remuneration, which is commonly called "distribution according to work". On the contrary, the salary policy that does not reflect the principle of distribution according to work is definitely not a good policy. Secondly, on the basis of this principle, the salary should also consider factors such as working environment, labor intensity, work attitude and assessment results. A bad environment and a comfortable environment, an active working attitude and an attitude of coping with errands, because the environment is different, the results are different, and the salary should be different. Thirdly, the salary policy can be deeply rooted in people's hearts and recognized by employees, so it can also fully mobilize employees' enthusiasm for production, stimulate their creativity and tap the source of innovation.

Salary system is an organic part of corporate culture. Enterprise culture is the foundation of enterprise prosperity. It is not a simple slogan, but the values recognized by employees and the expression of values-code of conduct. In an enterprise with a salary system problem, it is difficult for employees to internalize and externalize the corporate culture. Because it is not fair at all, it does not see the shadow of management science or scientific management, but only reflects the boss's centralized statement.

Generally speaking, salary and education should not be related, because ability and education are not necessarily equal. Just because a person graduated from an ordinary college does not prove that he is incapable of making outstanding contributions. Similarly, employees who graduated from prestigious schools may not be able to achieve impressive results. Salary can only be a function of contribution. Therefore, it is unreasonable to use different institutions as the basis for distinguishing wages. Apart from reflecting the simplicity of management, it has nothing outstanding. Not only that, this practice is suspected of enrollment discrimination and obviously deviates from the regulations of the Ministry of Education. 2013 In April, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Strengthening the Employment Information Service for College Graduates, in which any form of employment discrimination is strictly prohibited, including "it is strictly forbidden to publish recruitment information with the words of limited 985 colleges and universities, 21/colleges and universities".

What should enterprises do? The salary amount should be determined according to the actual ability evaluation during the probation period, which is a fair and reasonable policy. Salary is not a scholarship, and it is unreasonable to distinguish between different institutions.

Enterprises have the right to reflect on universities.

This incident has aroused doubts and criticisms such as "ordinary universities have talents, but key universities inevitably have mediocrities" and "only colleges and universities look at their ability, but only at their origins, regardless of their quality". At the same time, it has been supported by nearly 40% of netizens, who believe that "clear rules are better than hidden rules", "education is also an investment, and more input and more benefits" and "starting salary can not determine the future." If it is a treasure, it will be released sooner or later.

In an era when everyone stresses equality, it will obviously become news for bloggers to recruit fresh college students according to the "clearly marked price". Judging from the eloquent response of employers, they are not so much passively responding to public opinion as explaining the position of enterprises in employing people, which has actually received a lot of support. However, media reports have basically taken a judgment that is not conducive to enterprises, that is, they think that the enterprise's move is "the theory of only birth" and "the theory of academic worship", and even come to the conclusion that "if such a unit fails to enter, it should be lucky rather than regret". It is not difficult to see that the media ignored the news principle of "balance of views", which led to the suppression of another voice. Of course, it is understandable that some facts were blocked.

In fact, if people are led to the following questions, I am afraid it is difficult to make a simple judgment of right and wrong, and it is also conducive to alleviating the diametrically opposite public opinion on this matter. First of all, is education an input? Since it is input, we should pay attention to market returns. Is it unfair to finish master's degree and doctor's degree in Tsinghua and Peking University if the starting salary is the same as that of ordinary school graduates and university graduates? Second, does the enterprise have the right to promote or publicize its own employment concept? Enterprises themselves should be very clear about who to use and how to use people, which is most beneficial to the production of enterprises. Third, why is the high starting salary corresponding to a good school and a high degree of education questioned by public opinion? This is actually a replica of the "reading uselessness". When the education level of the whole society is greatly improved, we can't expect that a high degree of education will inevitably bring high income, but if public opinion doesn't think that a high degree of education should bring high income, will it fall into the quagmire of "anti-intellectualism" again? Of course, education also has something to reflect on and improve, that is, whether famous schools and high academic qualifications have convincing gold content.
