MAKING GLOBAL RECRUITER FUN

Making Global Recruiter FUN

A. Note to Abhi

B. Date: 10-01-06

The online “Games” market is exploding — both on PCs and on mobile phones (apart from devices like Xbox, PlayStation, etc., which are exclusively devoted to games). Most of these are video/image-based games.

Whereas I am unable to conceptualize a video-type game on Global Recruiter,
I do see a clear possibility of a text-based game, by modifying our “Submit Resume” page (as shown in the annex),

and adding a database/search software in the background (created from an enclosed book, Dictionary of Dates).

Human beings like to compare themselves with others —

especially very ordinary human beings.

like to compare themselves with famous / extraordinary / celebrity persons. Like benchmarking.

Even if the only thing / aspect that they can compare / benchmark is

– Birth Date (day / month)

– Birth year

(eg. I was born in the same year as Helen Keller!)

Or that was the year in which Albert Einstein fled to USA!

I have a feeling that modifying “Submit Resume” form, as shown, would “vastly differentiate” our form from similar forms on thousands of websites.

It will be FUN and it will set us apart!

All “Submit Resume” forms, on all job sites are SO BORING!

By making the form interactive, we will make it interesting!

In course of time, following new features can be added:

▶ New Person-Name being suggested by candidates

→ Also type, what was he/she famous for?

▶ How many candidates registered on GR network share the same birthdate / same birth year — without revealing identity — just the “No.”

▶ Clicking on FAMOUS Person’s name enters into Google Search bar & displays search results.

▶ Who (which registered candidate) suggested whose (which famous person’s) names? Giving CREDIT for suggestions.

Name of Famous Person	P / N / Y	Name of Suggestor

▶ Turning this into a blog.

→ Adding names / birthdays of friends / relatives to send campaign birthday greeting messages, which says,

Dear ________,

Happy Birthday.

As you know,

Besides you, other great / famous persons who were born on this day are:

There is no doubt, someday your achievements will compare with theirs and others will take inspiration from you.

RAM is reverse of JAM
What are Resume Preference Criteria?
→ Designation
→ Function
→ Posting City
→ Education
→ Age
→ Experience
→ Keywords
It is not difficult to type these on a mobile screen.
Within 160 characters — JAM already does this comfortably and accurately.
So Resume-Search can be comfortably initiated from a HR manager’s mobile as an SMS!
No need for PC / Internet / Log-in / India Recruiter!
And within 90 seconds, RAM SMS would appear on his screen.
That would be killer application!

“Abhi — if HR Manager can send 160-character resume preference SMS, then matching resume can be auto-sent via return SMS (RAM). That’s revolutionary — a mobile-first recruitment engine.”

“What is Global Recruiter?” (GR)

(Header: “Reji / GR” — page 3/10)

Page → “What is Global Recruiter?”

Why only 2 services made into hyperlink?

Why not all five?

From Homepage, delete link “HR Loves GR”

Since it is already placed at the bottom of page “Revenue Model.”

However, I strongly recommend that all such links appearing on various pages are displayed in dark blue colour (as done in WWJ) — so that a visitor knows that this is a link and would click.
Now he does not even know!
