Feedback - cum - Resume Form
(Ref: My note dt. 07-06-04)
In this note, I had attached the
form, one section of which, is
TENTATIVE PROGRESSIVE FEEDBACK.
I would like to modify this
section as follows:
TENTATIVE PROGRESSIVE FEEDBACK
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for sending your resume
thru JobAlert Mobile (JAM) service of
https://www.google.com/search?q=World-Wide-Jobs.com, for consideration against
our vacancy.
As far as your resume is
concerned, we have,
Yet to evaluate it in depth
Kept it on hold
Added to our database
As and when required, we will
give you further feedback and/or contact you on our own. We would appreciate,
if you do not follow up. With regards
Name of Company
PS.
Added
In the meantime, you may want to
visit our corporate website [blank box] and study it thoroughly to acquaint
yourself with our products/services/joint-ventures/collaborators/financials/new
project plans [blank box]
If you are keen on a position
with us, we expect you to be able to tell us what you know about us, if and
when called for an interview.
Added
Obviously, the new
"Added" portion should be displayed (both to the HR manager & the
candidate concerned) ONLY in those cases where, we already know the URL
of that Company's website. Otherwise, this portion should remain blank.
And, we should not expect the HR
manager to manually "Type/enter" his Company website URL in the box
provided [blank box].
It should get filled-up,
automatically.
HOW WOULD THIS FEATURE HELP?
TO HR/Recruitment Managers
- If he does not know himself that his Company has a
website, he would visit & find out more about his own company!
- He may even find that, on his Co. website, there is
no section for "Careers/HR Policy/Recruitment Policy" etc etc.
He may introduce these.
He will study everything about
his Company (from the website), so that it does not appear during the Interview
that the Candidate seems to know much more about the Company than himself!
TO Candidate
- In the message, there is a tantalizing hint that he
may be called for an interview. This would prompt him to visit the website
and learn everything he can, about the Company.
- In absence of this paragraph - and the mention of
Co. website URL - the candidate may not ever come to know that the Company
has a website from where he can learn a lot.
TO WWJ/JAM.
Because of this new/added
paragraph, I feel that many HR/Recruitment managers would feel like clicking on
one of the 3 feedback links.
The key phrase in the last
Sentence is
".... We expect
you......"
Of course, all textbooks on
"How to appear for an interview? / How to prepare for an interview? / How
to project yourself in an interview?" etc etc., all say the same thing,
viz:
before you appear for an
interview, study the company thoroughly,
But,
How many candidates ever bother
to read those text-books & follow?
How-and-where can Candidates get
info about prospective employers?
HR/Recruitment managers have not
learnt to mention/incorporate this sentence (We expect you ----), in their
INTERVIEW-CALL LETTERS! - which was, so far (until JAM Feedback form arrived on
the scene!) their only chance to ADVISE the candidate, that he should come
prepared!
NOW,
the "JAM Feedback Form"
gives this opportunity to Recruitment managers, to ADVISE the Candidates, that
it is in
his own interest to come
prepared. (Who does not like to handout free advice?). And this sentence,
stands translated as follows in Recruitment Manager's mind,
"Well, you Mr. Candidate,
have been warned. Now, if you don't come prepared, it is your funeral!"
And, I feel no recruitment
manager would want to let go of this "opportunity" - an opportunity
to appear "Holier than Thou"!
- an opportunity to place himself on a higher
pedestal - as compared to the candidate (advisory capacity).
- an opportunity to project to the Candidate, how
"knowledgeable" he is about his own company!
Whatever his motivation, as long
as we can get the recruitment manager to click on one of the links, our purpose
is served.
Viz:
Each & every JAM applicant
should get a feedback (any feedback, everytime he clicks "Apply
Online".
Because, this would be an
experience that he has never experienced before!
If JAM succeeds in delivering to
a candidate, a feedback, everytime he clicks "Apply Online" that
would be nothing short of Magic! - something that far exceeds his
wildest expectation.
And that would start (put into
motion), a word-of-mouth, Viral marketing. Then JAM would
"market" itself!
Reena is trying to get the CD [or
book] from MJ Corpol (Chennai), containing
15000 Corporate URL's.
So, it is a question of
incorporating this database in WWJ and writing appropriate software - which I
am sure, you can do.
To repeat,
Amongst all the possible
"SUCCESS FACTORS" of WWJ/JAM, getting a feedback from advertisers, is
the most crucial.
That is where WWJ/JAM would differentiate
itself from the jobsites.
Let us do.
PS: We have decided that we will
email to the candidate, full text of each job-advt which he clicks "Apply
Online". How about attaching Company's website URL link, with such email?
17/06/04
Abhi 07-06-04
Feedback - cum - Resume
Yesterday I spoke to you about
this.
We are agreed that corporate
feedback will play a crucial role in ramping-up of JAM
Question is, how to get the
advertisers to take the trouble to click on one of the feedback links?
Our "pep-talk" about
"enhancing your corporate image amongst jobseekers" may work with
some HR managers - but may not be with ALL!
So we need to provide some
"Quid pro quo" to those reluctant/lazy ones. We need to give them
some "incentive" to click.
This can be done by redesign of
our Feedback - cum - Resume form and writing some additional lines of code
see enclosed, redesigned form.
You will notice that
I have considerably
"elaborated" our note/instruction to advertisers.
stressed the "FREE"
aspect of our service
introduced a condition that Only
those advertisers, who take the trouble to click on one of the feedback links,
will get to see/view
- Functional Profile
- Keywords
If not for anything else, just
out of Curiosity (as to what do those blank boxes might contain), I
expect that an HR manager will click on one of the feedback links!
And the moment he does, right
before his eyes, those blank boxes (Functional Profile/Keywords), get filled-up
with "values"!
Almost like magic!
Almost like an online "game"!
Once an HR manager has "experienced"
this - and, hopefully, appreciated what he has just discovered, it is very
likely that, he would like to "repeat" that experience, again &
again.
The CHILD hiding inside HR
mgr. takes over!
Even if he does not understand
"HOW" this (filling up of boxes) happens, he will be only
amazed by "WHAT" happens!
And he would want to see, whether
this happens in every resume, again & again, without fail!
I hope, our little trick "mesmerizes"
him and develops in him, an OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
And if it does (-and I think, it
will), then, next, it is the turn of the job-seeker to develop an OCD!
When he discovers that applying
thru JAM, produces a "feedback" everytime he clicks
"apply Online", he wants to click, again & again - just to know
what kind of (Encouraging?) feedback he might get!
So, hopefully, we might succeed
in setting into motion - a VIRTUOUS circle! - a rotating wheel that
picks up speed as it rotates.
Let us ensure that this happens.
Remember my note to you,
MAKE LUCK!

Corporate Feedback-cum-Resume
Forwarding Message (Step # 10/JAM Communication Flow-chart)
Enclosed find a draft of
Combination-form, which Supercedes earlier form sent to you.
You will notice following:-
I have covered all the details
(about the candidate) which you had incorporated in the draft shown to me
yesterday
To your draft, I have added
- Function Profile Tabulation
- Short list of Keywords (Comma Separated)
Combined Feedback Section.
I feel that, even if a recruiter
does not find time to go thru detailed text resume, with the help/addition of
"Function Profiles" and "Keywords", he has
now more than enough data to decide whether
- Candidate is interesting
- Resume (details) is worth reading
- Genuine feedback (of course TENTATIVE) can
be sent.
Feedback
I have purposely called it "TENTATIVE"
to overcome the "resistance/reluctance" of an HR manager -
who, at this stage, may not want to "COMMIT" himself to the
candidate! - One way or other !!
By adding "you need not
follow-up. As & When required, we will contact you", I am further
inducing the HR mgr. to use the Feedback Form. NOW, with one stone, they are
able to kill two birds!
Objective # 1
Impress the jobseekers that they
are a "responsive" company. Let this "fact" circulate
amongst millions of jobseekers so that a positive Corporate Image gets
built-up.
Objective # 2
Put off the candidate! Get him
off your back. Ensure he does not keep phoning you/emailing you, while giving
him an impression that you have gone thru his resume - or at least glanced at
it!
We are managing to meet this
objective by some "Vague" responses! No one knows what exactly
the HR manager "means"! But a feedback, nevertheless!!
To rapidly build-up reputation of
JAM service amongst jobseekers as the only-service which manages to get
a feedback everytime you apply - the FEEDBACK part is CRUCIAL.
If, somehow, Corporate HR
Managers, fall for our "Feedback Trick" and start using it,
then JAM would take-off like a rocket!!
Jobseekers would be simply "DELIGHTED"
because this (feedback) is far above their highest "Expectations"!
They have never come across anything like this!
Of course, as of now, we have
nothing, by way of an "Incentive" which we can offer to the HR
managers to "induce" them to use the feedback form - except
that it is very simple and takes a second.
But, in course of time, we will
think up of some "free/analytical data" which we can make
available to HR managers - if they give regular feedback to candidates.
