Andrea managed to screen all resumes and picked the candidates that could do it.
Diamond didn't want to bring people for an interview and then disappoint them. She had been turned down a lot of times and knew how difficult it was.
So, with Andrea's help, she was able to pick candidates who were upright, hardworking, and without any baggage that would require settling in the future.
However, it was a pity as she didn't manage to get all the people she needed at the moment.
'There is still time, I can still find them in the future.'
She then had the PR department call these individuals for an interview which she held on a Friday on the third floor without disturbing the other's work.
Since she was planning on hiring everyone who attended the interview, she wasn't planning on being mean and simply conducting an interview that would formalize things.
The first people to be interviewed were the managers, the PR and HR managers. She didn't manage to find an honest Finance manager among the recruits so she decided to wait for another time.
She could promote the head accountant, but the man wasn't cut out for that post and she didn't want to complicate things.
The interviews were very fresh and different from other organizations. This was what these two individuals thought as Diamond threw questions at them.
They answered as honestly as possible and she noted down everything.
She did the same for every candidate and sent them home so that they could wait for further instructions.
The cleaners she found were told to start working as early as Sunday if possible, so Diamond signed the contract she had already prepared beforehand with the two ladies.
As for the security guards, she didn't find anyone satisfactory, most of the people were simply being playful and she didn't want to hire people like that.
The weekend approached once more and this time, Diamond didn't have anywhere to go but Ruby was busy as a bee.
Diamond spent time at home, researching a lot of things and also sorting out her rewards that had become messy.
On Sunday, she went to the foundation where she met with the cleaners. The three of them went to buy all the cleaning products that were needed before returning to the office where the ladies began to do their job.
They were only cleaning the floors that had been renovated already as for the other floors upstairs; they were to be left alone.
The guys were already on floor six and moving extremely fast.
Another week arrived and Diamond had the PR department issue the results of the interview which was mainly all the candidates that came to pass.
Ruby was a bit curious as to why she did all of this, but she gave her a 'no comment' reply which made her blow up like a puffer fish, making her look very cute in the process.
The contracts had all been prepared and the remaining thing was for the individuals to come and sign and then start working.
Some enthusiastic ones came on that Monday, and Diamond was busy. After reading through the contract, they didn't even need to see a lawyer as the terms sounded fair and the salary was also good.
Diamond didn't get the lawyer that she wanted but all hope was not lost yet.
She gave all the employees the day they would start working which was the next Monday. they couldn't start working straightaway as other things needed to be sorted out first.
So, in that week, when other staff were busy closing cases and helping more people, Diamond bought computers and had them installed in the offices.
The cafeteria received its pots, plates, and any other kitchenware that was needed to open it.
At the moment, only five floors were open and Diamond had to allocate them to different departments.
Just like she planned, the first and second floors were to be given to the counseling department. The counselors were now six and although they didn't specifically require their individual offices; they needed counseling rooms that would be private.
So, the first floor would be the counseling rooms while the second floor would be their offices. They can share an office and maybe only their head counselor can be privileged to have an individual office space.
The third floor at the moment would be used by the I. T and Finance departments together, since the other floors were not yet done.
As the I. T department only had two people and the finance department with just four, after adding an assistant through recruitment this time, they could manage there.
The fourth floor was the cafeteria, so it was sorted. The HR and PR departments, would both share the offices on the fifth floor. With each floor having roughly seven offices, the fifth floor has eight, to accommodate both departments.
So, before the new staff arrived, the current employees needed to move to their respective floors.
Everyone was very happy to move, although it was going to be different, being able to have some total privacy was something that they all wanted.
Diamond was in charge of allocating the employees to their offices and she started with the counseling department. On the second floor, there were seven offices, restrooms, a kitchen space, and a conference room.
Each office was big enough to accommodate three people with three huge desks, so she settled the six of them in two offices and left the other offices vacant for future employees.
Whenever a counselor gets a client or patient, they would take them to the first floor. And use any of the rooms there that will be turned into comfortable rooms suitable for sharing secrets.
The boardroom would be used for group counseling in the future.
She settled the I. T and Finance departments' staff next. As the floor solely belonged to the I. T department in the first place, she had the tech geeks in one office.
For the tech geeks, she was going to have an office accommodate two people at a time instead of three, like the other departments.
