Shalaka / Alex,
MM will be an ONLINE tool which can be freely downloaded from our website and also other websites such as download.com
It should be a small tool (4/5 mg) with .NET
framework which can be either embedded into the tool or will get automatically downloaded on user's harddisk,
without his being aware.
A person who has downloaded MM (from anywhere)
should be able to email it to any no - of people.
After downloading, MM will get
"activated" only after the user
Uploads his text resume into the tool
Selects his "Primary Functions/ Skill"
(any one only) from the drop lists in the ACTIVATE page
Selects "date" of activation from
calender
(It is quite possible that the "No. of tools
activated" may far exceed the "No. of Tools downloaded" - due
to copying/ emailing
Upon "Activation" our server will
.
Assign a unique "User No" to that user
. Store
his text resume as well as his "Function/ Skill" selection against
this user no.
. In
course of time, when we develop a robust "Parsing" software, we will
parse the text resume and store all
personal data about that user into a database.
There should be a facility for the user to edit his
. Text
resume
.
Function / skill selected earlier
When he
does, our database too will get updated simultaneously.
By Comparing with our Server database, MM will find
/ extract the keywords from the text resume (for the Function/ skill earlier selected by that user) and calculate
the raw score - as per the weightages assigned to each keyword.
This will be stored (semi - permanently). of
course, this will change if user edits text resume at anytime
Working like MYRIAD, MM will extract the job -
advts behind each link on a job - search page.
Unfortunately, a job - search page contains many
links other than job - advt. links. In fact non - job - advt links for exceed the job - advt. links ! For our purpose, we have to avoid/ igonre/
eliminate these non - job advt links
MYRIAD has provision for user to select
"FROM LINK" "TO LINK"
This adds one manual intervention/ selection. It
would be ideal if we could avoid this. If not, we follow same procedure.
Once the job - advts hiding behind the job - advt
links are "harvested" will try to find Function / Skill related keywords - "relevant" to that candidates
resume - and compute the SCORE
The advts will then get displayed in the descending
order to % as shown below
May be we should try to extract the email ID from
each job - advt (it given in advt). Naukri Provides email IDs but
Monster Timesjobs/ Jobstreet/ Jobs dt etc do not.
We should not display the email ID in the above tabulation.
Select will open that job - advt. After reading,
candidate can decide to "Apply Online" & click relevant button.
Of course, this would require him to earlier deposit
his resume on that jobsite.
This would also require that, before starting the
job - search, he would need to log - in as a "Registered User".
As of now, I am unable to think of a fool proof
method which will allow a user to
"Apply online" against any job. advt in
Naukri, but, with his PROFILES developed on our website (-not he text resume deposited on Naukri).
If we can pull this off, it would have a great
(marketing) advantage !
You may consider the following possibility.
We also display email ID of the job - advertisers
in the search - resule table as shown below.
If a candidate decides to click on any email ID (of
a job advt), then, our software picks - up that email ID and insert it in
Resume
Courier
A Candidate, then, can surf pages after pages of
Naukri Job - search results (displayed in descending order in MM) -
From each page, he may click on 1/2/3 email IDs,
which keep getting accumulated into our
Resume Courier
When he has gone than 24 pages (of Job Search
Results) and selected 43 job advts worth applying, he moves to Resume Courier page, LOGS - IN (with his user ID/
Password)and clicks SUBMIT.
At one go, our Resume Courier S/W will pick - up
his profiles and forward it (with appropriate covering letter,
Similar to what I have given for Resume Blast) to
all 43 job advertisers !
As against this, should he decide to click - open
each select job - advt on Naukri and decide to "Apply online"
. He can
only send "text" resume
. He will
need to click "Apply online" 43 times !
This seems such a great idea (if it can be
successfully executed) !
We are giving the candidate a far superior option,
But
We are NOT forcing him to register on our website.
Once again, MM will "market" India
Recruiter in a very subtle fashion - and very indirectly.
If a job - advt does not contain an email ID, a
candidate can always click to apply online with his text resume.
In fact, this will be the case with most of the
websites - since these do not display the email IDs
Another bye - product (of candidate applying thru
Resume Courier method) :
We will be able to compile a very comprehensive
"APPLICATION HISTORY" of search user candidate
we can make available such "History" to a
registered candidate in his own ADMIN TOOL,
Where he can, then, fill up "response
details" in the last column, on his own, at any time.
In the above tabulation, may be we can even provide
a column for the job - advertiser's email ID.
By clicking on this email ID, outlook will open,
and the candidate can send a REMINDER to that job - advertiser, to inquire about his application !
This could be a great "Follow - up" tool
for the candidate.
He does not even need to remember, to whom he has
applied to, when and for what position !
Let us do this !
