MAPPING OF INDUSTRY FUNCTION

Abhi 08-12-05

Leveraging timesjobs.com to our advantage

we cannot forget that one of our biggest problem has been,

"Which Company belongs to which Industry?"

Unless this issue gets resolved, job-searching by Industry drop-list (on Ind¹⁰ia Recruiter) was im¹¹possible.

A soluti¹³on seems to be in sight!

This morning, while job-searching on timesjobs.com, I found short-display (Job Summary) in following manner:

Job Summary	Company Details	Location
	Company Name: XYZ
	Industry: ABC

 

Exactly what we need!

And since this info. is based on what that company itself has entered (while "Posting Job"), this data is perfect/absolutely reliable.

All we need to do is to find a spider which can download this info as

S# No	Company Name	Industry (Timesjobs)	Industry (Global Recruiter)
			$\leftarrow$ MAPPING

We can do one more thing while downloading:

S# No	Company Name (in timesjobs)	Company Name (in W&J advt. download)	E-mail ID for 49300
		$\leftarrow$ MAP these

If correct "match" found it is the SAME company.

In which case email ID (in our daily downloads) has to be the SAME for both records!

This will solve our problem that timesjobs. are NOT displaying email ID of job-advertisers and therefore, downloading of job advts from timesjobs is no use!

Our Biggest Problem

To quickly populate India Recruiter/GR with 5 lakh resumes, our biggest problem is:

"What "INDUSTRY/FUNCTION" to allot to each resume that we download from Monster/Naukri/Timesjobs etc ?"¹⁴

Unless resumes are allotted INDUSTRY & FUNCTION, they would remain unsearchable in IndiaRecruiter!¹⁵

And if these remain "unsearchable", our partners will refuse to become our partners!¹⁶

The only way they can lure ¹⁷Company-HR mgrs (to subscribe) is to be able to tell them,

"Dear HR mgr

if you subscribe to my website, you can search 5 lakh resumes."

Hence, solution to our problem lies in our ability to

• Download millions of resumes

from dozens of jobsites

• allot INDUSTRY/FUNCTION to each every resume (offline, if reqd.).
• then upload these on GR/IR
• Send out "Invitation-Letter" to 750 (Websites) placement agencies.
• Simultaneously send-out promo-letter to 49300 employers/HR mgrs. to come, register on India Recruiter & start
• Posting Jobs
• Conducting Resume-Searches.

Now, I find that on Naukri, when a candidate posts his resume, he is compelled to select

Current Industry Type $\fbox{\hspace{2cm}}\;

Current Functional Area $\fbox{\hspace{2cm}}\;

These are mandatory / drop-lists.

So, each resume is definitely linked to a specific Industry & a specific Function.

So, we have to Simply "map" these Values with our own Industry &

Function fields.

Problem solved - as far as Naukri is concerned!

NOW let us turn to timesjobs.com.

In their "Submit Resume" form, they have mandatory fields as follows:

Functional Areas $\fbox{\hspace{2cm}}\;

Area of Specialization $\fbox{\hspace{2cm}}\;

(Within each Functional Area).

These "functions" can be "mapped" to our functions. I don't see big problem here.

But,

timesjobs resume form has no field for "Industry"!

https://www.google.com/search?q=JobsAhead.com

Here too, their "Submit Resume" form has no field for "INDUSTRY", although they do have a field called

Job Category $\fbox{\hspace{2cm}}\;

Scan_0006.jpg

This is a mix-up of

• Industry
• Function

So, if we download JobsAhead resumes, we may be able to "map" some of these to our "INDUSTRY". A partial solution!

So, what should be our ACTION PLAN?

#1 Download all resumes from Naukri; map these (offline?) with our own Ind./Function fields & then upload on GR/IR¹⁸

As of ¹⁹$4^{\text{th}}$ Nov., Naukri claims to have "4 million Searchable Resumes"

So, even if we succeed in downloading/mapping/uploading resumes from Naukri, at the rate of 50,000 per day, we would have ²¹more than ONE million in one month!

Enough to launch GR/IR amongst

would be partners (750)

would be subscribers (of India Recruiter) 49,300.22

Now that we have a "fixed cost" broadband service this week, bandwidth (for downloading/uploading) cannot be a problem.²⁴

And as far as computers are²⁵ concerned, we can press all 30 m/cs into downloading-service, after 7 pm everyday! Do you see any problem? If yes, I would like to know AT-ONCE, because, I would like that this downloading/mapping/uploading starts, latest by this weekend.

If there is ANY REASON, why it cannot start as suggested, then I want to know on MONDAY 14th. Otherwise, I will assume that it will start as suggested. No news is good news.

Incidentally, Monster/Naukri/JobsAhead sites are HORRIBLE.

The worst part is that one cannot even reach the many forms, unless one logs-in first!

This is BAD, VERY BAD!

I have discussed this issue with Rejji on Friday and

told him that, on India Recruiter (and, of course, on all partner websites),

Jobseekers & HR mgrs. should be able to reach/access ALL forms (w/o) without login.

HR mgrs should be able to

• post jobs
• search resumes

WITHOUT, having to fill-in Log-In first.

However, once-they-finish, an appropriate message should flash, along with LOGIN box, saying, we cannot display the results unless they fill-in Log-IN, at this stage. Tell them (in message):

Dear HR Mgr:

Thank You for

• Conducting Resume Search $\left.\begin{array}{l}\text{Conducting Resume Search}\\ \text{Posting Jobs}\end{array}\right\}$ As applicable.

We will be happy to display the "Search-results" (in case of resume-search) as soon as you enter your Log-In data.²⁶²⁷

I am sure, you can think-up of a similar interesting message in case of "Post Jobs".³⁰³¹

Incidentally, at the bottom of our "Submit Resume" form, we have a button³²³³

"Save Resume & Go to Job-Preference Form"³⁴³⁵

Why are we n³⁶ot allowing a jobseeker to SEE/VIEW ³⁷this form, even if he has not Submitted his resume? (We are showing this on Global Recruiter!!!). May be you have some GOOD reasons which I fail to see!

I Simply cannot understand, why should a candidate HAVE to first fill-in his resume, to just SEE this form! Pl- change this at once.

Always remember that we must NOT irritate a visitor to our website. He must be able to WALK-THROUGH unstopped, to each & every corner of our website & be able to "Experiment" to his heart's contents.

Otherwise, I consider India Recruiter 1000 times better than Monster/Naukri/Timesjobs!

Naukri only 2 Lics Rs. 125,000/=

(Job Post + Res. Search)

Abhi

If you confirm that we can successfully download resumes from Naukri, then pl- place this order today, in consultation with Thakur/Soman.

I suppose, with 2 lics, we can run only 2 m/c at a time at night. Using broadband, how many resumes can we download every night with 2 m/c?

GLOBAL RECRUITER

Link "www.World-Wide-Jobs.com" at top in Global Recruiter is not quite visible. Pl. do something to make it prominent.

Counter boxes on home page

change these too, to read

• "Searchable Jobs"
• "Resumes"

Wherever, word World-Wide-Job appears (e.g., in Resume Alert Mobile), it should be made a hyperlink.

"Resume Alert Mobile" Page

• Pl. change this page's write-up as per revised write-up given to you, few days back.

Link "RAM – The Resume Search Killer"

• This flow-chart page should read,

"This service is for the benefit of HR managers/Recruiters"

not "Jobseekers".

on "JAH: Job Alert Mobile" page, make "Job Preference Form" a hyperlink

 

"The Virtual Employment Exchange" Flow chart diagram

• To differentiate between following "flows"

Job Post Job Search Red colour

Resume Post Resume Search Green colour

• When I reduced on homepage, 24 links to 17 links, I had transferred some 5 links at the bottom of one of the pages (We don't compete?). I don't see these!

On "HR loves GR", spelling of Naukri is wrong.

• Pl. also remove boxes
• Simply show

"Architecture / User Interfaces"

• Delete the line

"Alternatively, you could use/display..."

• Have you uploaded what I gave recently? - I don't see!

"Make Money" Page

• Here I want to add the actual earning figs. of Naukri, which Sanjeev Bhikchandani, mentioned in the last Sunday article (given to Abhir).

"NO option?"

• Some words seem to be missing!

Who can be Partner?

• first item
• HR Managers who - - - - -

Potential Partners

• Remove repetition of same name
• If you want me - - - - (duplicated) - remove

"Registration" Form

on "Architecture" page we are asking partners to give us details about their

• Interserver Comm. Protocol
• Operating System
• Software lane

I think the right place for these ¹⁷is at the bottom of the registration page - where - anyway - a would-be part¹⁸ner is required to furnish a lot of data about himself / his current operations.

So, he should also give "Architecture" data, right here itself! Makes sense. In any case, we need these info. about a would-be partner without which, we cannot ADVISE him, as to how to "integrate" with Global Recruiter!

So, pl. change this form. I'll show you how.
