Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 227

Janice had spent much of the day overseeing interviews at Prosper Stitch Group, and her brows were deeply furrowed.

The interview room was expansive, lined with rows of crochet workstations. Each candidate was required to complete a design on the spot to demonstrate their craftsmanship.

Despite over a hundred applicants, only four or five met Janice's rigorous standards.

Most simply lacked the precision and artistry required for the intricate designs of One in a Million Collective.

Janice knew she couldn't allocate all her top seamstresses to the Historical Artifacts Conservancy project as Prosper Stitch Group still had to operate at full capacity.

That evening, she made a decisive call.

A structured training program would be implemented for all new hires, ensuring only those who successfully completed the training would be officially employed.

Later, Imogen met with her to discuss the details.

"Ms. Smith, if we require training before employment, the seamstresses will want to know if they'll be compensated. Greenfield City's job market is highly competitive. Onley Group hasn't made their move yet, but when they do, they'll be aggressive about recruiting talent."

After a brief pause, Janice handed over a document. "I've drafted a proposal. Take it to the finance department tomorrow and see if senior management approves."

Imogen skimmed through the details and hesitated. "Food and accommodation covered during training? That's quite a—"

"Training is an investment in Prosper Stitch Group's future," Janice interjected. "We'll offer short-term contracts for the training period. If they pass, the contract is voided, and they're immediately hired. If they don't, they're free to explore other opportunities.

"There's no fixed training duration either. If someone is exceptionally skilled and learns quickly, they could be onboarded in as little as a week."

Recognizing the strategy, Imogen nodded. The next morning, she promptly submitted the proposal to the finance department for approval.

The senior executives immediately turned their attention to Edward, waiting for his response.

Since the proposal came from Janice, they needed to gauge his stance first.

Edward scanned the document briefly before giving a single instruction, "Make space for the training."

Providing food and lodging wasn't an issue. Prosper Stitch Group already owned a residential complex behind the headquarters, primarily used as employee dormitories. It was convenient and readily available.
