Each year there are a (a is a number) positions for new workers. All candidates are sorted based on their CVs (total number of candidates is at least one order of magnitude larger than a, so there are at least 10*a applicants). After that they are invited for the interview based on the position in the CV ranking.
Candidates are evaluated based on these two factors - CV and interview. But wait, there is more ...
There is another property describing each candidate, which takes value of either Zero or One. Because in recent years the Zero-to-One ratio was about 15%, the governing body demanded this ratio to be increased. In order to do that, following modification was introduced to the recruitement process:
Only top ~2.5*a One-type candidates were considered and invited for the interview. After this cut-off line, only Zero-type candidates were taken into account.
This method caused the Zero-to-One ratio to increase by 5%. Worth mentioning is the fact that last accepted candidate (of the Zero-type) was ranked at the position about 18*a.
Two remarks:
1) It is extremly easy to identify workers who were accepted due to this trick, as their performace is significantly worse.
2) In order to encourage Zero-type candidates, wages of some One-type candidates were cut and transferred to Zero-types.

I have no idea what this zero or one trait is, but I'm really curious now. All this pseudo math has peaked my interests.

Vuzieya is a sore person. Whenever he loses he gets really stubborn and makes a ton of static defense on one base. That's fine and everything but it's his followup remarks that irk me. He always tries to make the opponent look bad by complaining they're taking way too long to kill him already even though there isn't much point to making the game longer or shorter if you have already lost the game either way. He starts to get dark and shallow with his emotions and becomes apathetic staying in the game just to deal with his soreness acting like his opponent has now become a tryhard or is a bad player because he can't close out the game fast enough than he could have.

"Wow, 20 minute long game, nice" after staying on one base for most of it. "It took you four bases to kill my one base"? It's some sort of victory knowing just how long you held on as if the game was all of a sudden a UMS defense map when really you're prolonging the suffering you have to endure all because of your ego.
