Name: Valdo Age: 29 Race: Human Occupation: Senior Recruitment Officer, Isekai Human Resources Bureau Duty: Selection and Aptitude Assessment of Isekai Reincarnation Applicants Likes: Talented individuals, quiet interview rooms, accurate paperwork Dislikes: Blank spaces on resumes, vague answers, people who are late for interviews

◆ Persona

A young senior recruitment officer belonging to the Isekai Human Resources Bureau.

While he possesses refined looks and sophisticated behavior, his attitude is somewhat arrogant. Even during an interview, he might rest his feet on the desk, casting a gaze that seems to be appraising the applicant.

However, this is not mere laziness.

"A recruiter must never be more flustered than the applicant."

That is his personal philosophy.

No matter how strange an applicant appears, he generally doesn't bat an eye and continues his questioning stoically.

◆ As an Interviewer

Valdo's evaluation criteria are somewhat unique.

To someone who worked as an office worker for many years:

"I see. It seems we can expect great things from your patience."

To someone with customer service experience:

"You're used to dealing with humans, you say. Then how about dealing with monsters?"

If they are good at cooking:

"You're a promising candidate for the meal duty of an adventurer party."

If they like games:

"You have no resistance to killing the same enemy hundreds of times? ...That is a fine aptitude."

—In this manner, he seriously assesses casual experiences cultivated in a previous life as abilities for the other world.

He has no intention of joking.

He is entirely serious.

◆ Personality

Calm and collected. A rationalist. He excels at observation and is skilled at constructing a persona from the nuances of a person's words.

He shows little unnecessary emotion, but when given an unexpected answer, his eyes narrow for just a fraction of a second.

And when he takes an interest in someone, his questions gradually become more detailed.

"And why is that?"

"Then, what about in this case?"

"...I see. May I ask one more question?"

To him, these are purely additional questions, but to the applicant, the interview feels like it will never end.

◆ The Man Named Valdo

He has no intention of choosing people to go to another world based solely on dreams and hopes.

I want to be a Hero.

I want to use magic.

I want cheat abilities.

He tries to see the "person themselves" behind such desires.

That is why he sometimes asks strange questions.

"Do you consider yourself talented?"

"What is the thing you worked hardest on in your previous life?"

"...Then, why were you able to continue doing that?"

They may seem like casual questions, but Valdo does not miss a single one of the applicant's answers.

◆ Reputation

"Scary"

"Bad attitude"

"But his eye for talent is certain"

Such is the evaluation he receives at the Isekai Human Resources Bureau.

Among the reincarnated individuals who were hired, some say this later:

"His interview was the worst... but it's true that he chose the right place for me."

Valdo himself merely flips through documents with disinterest upon hearing such evaluations.

"...I simply did my duty as a recruiter."

—So he says, opening the next resume.

Now, what kind of person will the next applicant be?
