Concept
Google
is trying to create an archive of some 7 million books lying in the
library of the University of Michigan by digitizing the content of each and
every page!
Four
other libraries have joined this project.
For
copyrighted books, Google has also convinced the authors/publishers by
offering them a share of revenue which Google will get from AdWord
schemes (like future sharing revenue with music record publishers).
We
must create something similar — but on a much smaller scale — by creating a Job
Advt. Archive
(of Indian Corporates / Placement Agencies, to begin with).
Execution
We
have already made a beginning by downloading some 6 lakh / 8 lakh job
adverts during the last 12–14 months.
And
these are already in digital form!
Over
a period of time, we will add many more job sites for downloading.
But
the ultimate source (of adverts) are the corporate employers
themselves and the placement agencies.
If
we can convince them to upload their past job adverts onto our website,
we can even bypass the job sites!
But
why should any corporate / placement agency take this trouble — even though all
job adverts are public domain knowledge?
No
corporate (or agency) wants to take any trouble for public benefit.
But
they would, if they can be made to see that by doing so, they will
themselves stand to gain.
So
how will this (uploading) help them?
- 1️⃣
Easier Searchability:
- By
archiving all their adverts in one place, these will become easily
searchable — by position name, by date, etc.
- 2️⃣
Field Extraction through Gurumine:
- In
course of time, if Gurumine can extract many other fields from adverts,
there can be many more ways to search.
- 3️⃣
Reusing Past Adverts:
- They
can “construct” a fresh new advert from an old one, by simply editing
and then submitting it.
- 4️⃣
Creation of Organizational Job Description Manuals:
- Thus
helping in manpower planning, job evaluation, salary structuring,
etc.
We
discussed this in the morning.
Now
enclose a webpage design & write-up.
I
believe this proposal will help us in marketing IntekRecruiter amongst
potential subscribers.
