Lindel became noisy once more.

It felt rewarding seeing this kind of reaction. Perhaps the people had familiarized themselves with the current guild system. We now looked like a dream-like company that considered numerous welfare and convenient benefits for employees.

It was basically the same type of marketing that worked back on Earth.

Numerous professional managers in this land who studied business administration and knew entrepreneurship also knew which companies were attracting talent. However, there was a difference between simply knowing and practicing.

At least most of the companies I know don't successfully apply what they know. Perhaps it was because their greed got in the way, or it may be because they internally abused their workers or caused internal problems within the company.

The point was, there was no enterprise, here or back on Earth, that cared about its employees to this degree. This was true, especially in Lindel, who was known for its dangerous areas.

For large guilds such as the Red Mercenaries and Black Swans, the circumstances are good, but it was a hellish experience for the rest of the small and medium-sized clans.

What I did in the first place was far from being innovative. Recruiting an intern wasn't good at all, but I knew I would find someone desperate to work because of the reward we promised.

'They can become full-time employees.'

That would serve as the honey for the bees. My insistence upon the term 'innovation' was only just a cover-up, after all. It was necessary for our long-lasting image, and soon, all of Lindel would link us to that word.

'The most important thing is our image.'

It was no exaggeration to say that the public's opinion of us could make or break our guild. As I leaned back and massaged my temples, I heard someone speak up.

"There are quite a few successful candidates."

"It'll take some time to sort them out."

"Yes. The first test has already been taken, yet there are still so many. It's nice to have more talented applicants than expected... After all, the Vice Guild Master is also exhausted."

"No, no. I'll see to them myself."

It was better this way because I could check their status windows.

"I'm afraid you're going a little too overboard."

"Of course not. It is necessary for me to know who will be our future guild workers."

"I know."

"It won't take too much time anyway."

The way to pinpoint talent was simple. There was nothing more effective than an imposed test.

Those who applied for tests related to imperial law and tax management questions and applied to the Pension Planning Office decided that it was best to take an alchemy test, and it actually worked. They had heard the rumors and blocked the crowds in advance.

The unfortunate thing was that, although some talented people had been eliminated because of a momentary mistake, there was no time to embrace them.

People who could be used for additional power were the more important ones.

"Are all the interview applicants gathered?"

"Yeah."

"Send them in one by one. I'll be the one conducting the interview."

"Will do."

The first man who entered harbored a worried expression, seemingly too nervous to sit down. From my first impression, he was already a dud.
