Leveraging
Techies
▶ Yesterday we discussed
how we can rope in thousands of S/W developers around the country to help us
make GumMine a robust product.
▶ Enclosed find an email
which we may consider sending to these techies in this regard.
▶ Of course, before we
can send out such an email, you will need to make some advance preparations,
e.g.:
→ Hyperlinks
→ Online
Entry Form (with all rules) where a participant should fill in.
Besides capturing his/her basic details (Name / Name of current employer /
E-mail ID / City, etc.), we need for him to say / confirm:
“I
have read the rules governing this contest ‘Turning Point’ and agree to abide
by the same.”
[Submit]
→ Modified
GumMine — with all unnecessary links removed — where he can paste his
resume, see side-by-side:
- Structured
(indexed) résumé (with RED fields)
- His
own plain email résumé
→
Ability to “EDIT” (esp. Career History)
→
Click on ERROR-REPORT (as a side box/window) where he can
enter his observations/suggestions while doing this editing.
All
along, he must be able to see both structured database (i.e., extracted fields)
as well as his plain email résumé.
He
must be able to see, at all times:
- What
went wrong (i.e., RED fields)
- Whether
value was actually available in his résumé or not — if yes, where exactly
it got hidden.
Only then he can figure out what logic could have been used to capture this field/value.
I
have a feeling that such a contest will arouse tremendous curiosity amongst
techies — and their friends/colleagues — and will bring in a lot of publicity
for RecruitGuru.
How
soon can we do this?

Draft
of email to be sent to 20,000+ Software Developers whose
email IDs we have in our database (from 1,87,000 email resumes which we are
currently trying to upload on Recruitguru).
Dear
Sir/Madam,
Turning
Point
Do
you like to be challenged? — and in the process, win Rs. 10,000?
If
so, you would want to read the attachment!
Regards,
Recruitguru.com
Dear
Sir/Madam,
Are
you listening — Bills & Carlys?
As
a technocrat, you love challenges — above everything else.
Here
is one to test your skill — and should you succeed, to win Rs. 10,000!
All
you have to do is:
▶ Click here (to
go to www.Recruitguru.com)
▶ Paste your email
resume (unstructured).
▶ Watch our software
convert your plain/unstructured resume into a structured database of 23
fields (takes 6 seconds).
▶ Look up fields where
software failed to extract (marked red) or extracted wrong values (assuming
that the correct value was, in fact, available/present in your email resume).
▶ Click ERROR
REPORT and tell us (your entry to the contest):
→
Why our software failed (where it failed).
What
logic/algorithm would you have used to prevent such failures? (Your
detailed technical suggestion.)
Obviously,
if the data-value itself is missing/absent from your original resume, it
is not a failure.
But even here, do fill in the missing values (Edit) — especially in the Career
History section — and after a few weeks you will receive
frequency-distribution graphs of resumes in relation to your
peers/co-professionals!
(Eg: Are you currently underpaid?)
There
is a possibility that your resume is already existing in Recruitguru’s database
(having been received earlier from other job sites).
But
that does not debar you from participating in this contest or from winning the
prize.
The
contest will close on [date] and the Winner will be intimated by email,
besides an announcement on Recruitguru.
This
contest is governed by the following rules:
▶ Employees of
Recruitguru — and their relatives — are not eligible to participate.
▶ As regards the Winning
entry, the decision of Recruitguru’s management is final and binding on all
participants.
▶ Recruitguru management
reserves the right to reject any entry without assigning a reason.
▶ Recruitguru management
reserves the right to incorporate in its software any suggestion, logic, or
code provided by any participant, without assuming any liability in regard to
any compensation/monetary payment/acknowledgment, etc.
▶ Recruitguru management
will not entertain any questions or offer any explanation to any participant
regarding this contest.
Wishing
you all the best,
Kartavya
