Multiplexes
& Job Parade
World-Wide-Jobs is
not a jobsite.
A
jobseeker needs to visit it only once—initially—to post resume / submit
job-preferences.
No
need for repeated visits—except to edit resume / edit job-preferences.
But
it is quite a different story with Global Recruiter’s partner websites.
All
of these are jobsites. Both the corporates & jobseekers are expected to
visit these sites repeatedly (again & again), whether for resume search or
job search.
This
will happen for a long, long time, despite:
- RAM
/ RAB for Corporates
- JAM
/ JAB for Jobseekers
Because
“old habits die hard!”
This
being a “fact of life,” we must provide attractive / tempting features
which make them return again & again.
Features
that will:
- arouse
/ satisfy their curiosity
- (What
are the latest / freshest jobs getting posted?)
- give
them a competitive advantage
- (of
being able to snap off their resumes against such latest jobs—before other
candidates do the same.)
Enclosed
features of:
- Job
Parade
- Multiplexes
are
supposed to be such features.
Whereas
“Breaking News” is merely informative / educative,
Job
Parade & Multiplexes are... (continued on next page)
“Interactive”
— besides telling you what are the latest jobs, by whom posted, when &
where —
These
features allow you to see full job details & enable you to “apply online.”
You
may even want to alert a friend with such latest job — in case he is not logged
in.
Someday,
we will be able to modify these features whereby a logged-in jobseeker can see:
- A
counter that says:
- Right at this moment,
- this page is being viewed by ____
jobseekers
(small
hand-drawn box on the page)
“Web
Analytics” of Google already provides this figure (24x7) for each & every
page (of websites which install Web Analytics) — so it cannot be too difficult.
- A
box which shows which of his friends are viewing this page right at
that moment (Instant Messaging services of MSN / Google / Yahoo etc.)
Although
all these three features (Breaking News / Multiplexes / Job Parade) have
some overlap in terms of latest job adverts data being shown, their
different presentations will appeal to different jobseekers.
Every
time a jobseeker clicks to open a job advert, we earn Re. 1 (nominally).
The urge to rush his resume before others do would prompt many jobseekers to
click on many jobs!
This
would also make thousands of jobseekers to hang around on this page for hours
together, if a new job advert appears every few seconds!
No
unemployed jobseeker would want to miss out on a job which he suspects others
are keenly watching!
He would be out of the race!
The
summary-box in “Job Parade,” which gets constantly / continuously
updated with latest job-adverts, could even be turned / converted into some
kind of
RSS
Feed.
(—
which technology, I believe, is fairly established by now.)
Then
we can supply / deliver such a FEED to hundreds of websites (not
jobsites), who:
- do
NOT wish to become full-fledged partner websites
- but
- still
wish to offer “job-related content” to their visitors — especially since
these jobs are posted few seconds / minutes ago!
Naukri is
“powering” Yahoo’s career section — which, after 2/3 clicks, takes you
to Naukri’s website.
Only
thereafter, one can “Apply Online.”
But
it presents Naukri’s full jobs database with 3 search boxes.
It
is not an RSS feed of latest / freshest jobs!
And
most other websites / portals may want nothing more than a feed.
Even
some websites belonging to placement agencies might want such a feed.
But
what good is a “feed” if a jobseeker:
- cannot
view full job advert?
- cannot
“apply online” right there?
Although
these 3 features will differentiate Global Recruiter from all other
jobsites, these are not priority items.

BREAKING
NEWS
In
“Burry Job Search – Let jobs come searching for you” page of India
Recruiter,
we
have promised:
“We
will happily deliver the right job-adverts to you
within
15 minutes of a suitable job getting posted on a number of jobsites.”
We
mean JAB = Job Advert Broadcasting.
But
a jobseeker would want to see a live example of JAB to get convinced.
We
need to “dramatise” JAB for him to feel its real impact.
In
the enclosed page, I have tried to create such a DRAMA.
I
have shown 6 screens — but if space becomes a constraint, we can show 4 or even
2 screens.
As
a new job gets posted on any partner website, the oldest screen fades out and
the newly/latest job-data fades in!
Difference
— of a few minutes — between:
- Posted
(Date / Time): 14:23 hrs
- Broadcast
(Date / Time): 14:29 hrs
vindicates
our claim that:
“Jobs
will get delivered within a few minutes of getting posted.”
(If
we have space constraint, “Date” can be omitted.)
Similarly,
initially we may decide to omit / leave out the message:
No.
of Mobiles to which broadcast (Executive): 463
till
we have some “respectable” figures!
This
page is not only for the jobseekers.
It
will equally impress the Corporate Job Advertisers. Now, they can
realise that no other jobsite can beat the
combination
of Global Recruiter + Mobile Service Providers
When
it comes to reaching out to jobseekers REAL FAST, this unique broadcast
feature will appeal to
those software companies (and others) where HR mgrs are under tremendous
pressure to fill up all vacancies TODAY (if not yesterday!).
Once
they see this feature, they will never again think of Monster / Naukri!
And
would-be partner websites would rush in to become actual partner websites!
