MODIFYING FUNCTION PROFILES

Possible to incorporate once we have at least 50,000 Profiles in our database.

Apple for Apple

See enclosed email which I plan to send out to some 26 lakh jobseekers, as soon as we launch IndiaRecruiter.net.

I hope the morphing of a plain-text resume into an ImageBuilder — with all 3 Function Profile Graphs — within a matter of few seconds will prove to be a big draw amongst the jobseekers.

I hope thousands will register out of curiosity every day!

I also hope that, having been inspired by their “caterpillar” text resume turning into a “butterfly” (the ImageBuilder) right in front of their eyes, they would exclaim (shouting Eureka! Eureka!) and tell their friends!

But rest assured, that some will come back (like email to you) shouting:

“UNFAIR! This is not an Apple to Apple comparison!”

They are right!

See enclosed tabulation.

You cannot compare different kinds of fruits in a single basket and claim that Watermelon is the best!
Why? Because it weighs the most!

It is no different with executives.

See Table #2 for Executives.

Under a given Function Profile (say Sales), we are clubbing together a vast variety of executives, with a wide range of:

• Age
• Experience
• Education
• Designation Level
• Salary
• etc.

Based on a combination of the above-mentioned factors / parameters, each will score —
→ Very low to very high Raw Score,
and consequently,
→ Very low or very high Percentile Score.

This is quite similar to giving ONE standardized test / question paper to a set of students whose background ranges from

“SSC Fail”
to
“PhD Passed”!

Not fair, you would agree.

But right now, we have no choice — given a very small starting database of executives.

But as this database (of candidates registering on IndiaRecruiter) grows,
we must start drawing graphs / profiles which are restricted to some or other “Sub-Population” of executives,
all of whom belong to:

• Same Industry OR
• Same Designation Level OR
• Same Age (±5 years) OR
• Same Experience (±2 years) OR
• Same Education Level OR
• Any Sub–Sub Population!

Email message for blasting to 26 lakh email IDs:

Dear Friend,

Better or Worse?

In comparison with your co-professionals,
where do you stand in terms of your knowledge, skills, expertise?
Do you know your relative standing?

There is only one way to find out.
By posting your text resume at

www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Within <10 seconds, your text resume will morph into an ImageBuilder version — showing you precisely and graphically just what exactly is your place in the pecking order!

Then ask some colleagues / friends to do the same and compare your scores!
