Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 404: Criteria for Recruiting Talent

In the meantime, I'll listen to you from the three people in front of me.

"Can I ask you the name of the workshop you're working in right now?

Then the three aspirants looked down and shut up, hard to say, but raised their voices as one of them had decided to.

"Well... I don't mind naming the workshop if you can hire me here, but I'm keeping my parents quiet, so if you can, don't ask me."

"Oh, my God."

When I shouted, Theon, who was having breakfast with me that day, pounded in my ear.

"Dear deputy, the world of shoe factories is a strict system of brotherhood. Unlike craftsmen like us, who had no prospect of succeeding to the workshop in the third or fourth person, the transfer of craftsmen in positions like succeeding to the workshop is painful for both parents. Maybe you can come here, but it's been tough. I think he's a pretty good artisan."

I see. So far, the company (of us) has been scouting and gathering artisans who stick out of the shoe factory they know, but as they become famous, the people with the original arms hire them.

"I see what's going on. Let's not ask about the workshop. So why did you want to work for the company?"

I'll ask you what the motive is first. If you have a working workshop and a future ahead of you, you should work there.

"It's those shoes! I saw the shoes that that adventurer was wearing and I wanted to make better shoes with my own arms!

said one artisan.

"Besides, you think the workshop here handles the shoes the Cardinal is wearing? It's okay to make shoes for the city people, but I want to make shoes for noble people! I want to brush my arms more!

I see, did you have a reputation there? and the thought of confirming it.

The workshop that handles the cardinal's clothing must normally be a first-class craftsman in a first-class workshop who has spent generations building trust in the aristocracy.

In fact, we haven't been able to produce as many workshops and craftsmen as we can from this city for over eighty years.

I don't think so, but it's understandable to have the idea that being a craftsman is also recognized as top notch for delivering special items worn by noble humans.

"We thought this was the only workshop where ordinary citizens, like us, could make shoes for Cardinals."

The last one said.

Indeed, first-class workshops like the Kwan workshop are difficult if they are not born more than second-class neighborhoods to be hired first.

Because more than many of our customers are aristocrats, we need the taste of their hands on the corresponding humans.

Born or educated is a pathetic thing, and even craftsmen need a sensory quality to end up being first class, or what nobility prefers.

Craftsmen in third-class neighborhoods with limited educational opportunities don't get to watch good things just to step up.

To sum up what they say, you mean you want to make something better, that's why you want to come to the company (our)?

Very good attitude as an artisan. My arms are proportional to my exploratory mind, so I'm sure my arms are good too.

But can I accept them?

It is a distinctly different kind of talent than the people we have hiring in the company (of which) until now.

Nevertheless, it is a shame to miss it as it is.

I ended up just telling him, "I can't think together yet, so come back in three days," and he asked me to leave that morning.
