Hi Friends,

RESUMES ARCHIVE


Logic for "Resumes Archive" Page

▶ This page will replace "Latest Resumes" page.

▶ At every hour, 1000 Candidate-Name links will get loaded (similar to "Job Search by Job Title" page).

▶ Clicking on a link will display data of the concerned candidate.

▶ It should be possible for a Search-Engine Spider to click these links in quick succession, open each candidate record
AND
be able to crawl/index all the keywords in each record.

▶ Idea is to get the spider to open millions of candidate records and index all the keywords.

▶ Obviously there will be no login.

▶ Links must be "Candidate Names".

▶ Each candidate record page must have that candidate’s name right at the top.

Free App for Smart Phone

Jobs for All = Peace on Earth

Oct 06, 2011
(Revised write-up sent to Shuklendu thru email)


Dear Jobseeker,

This app, developed by HP Labs – India, will make online job search on job portals obsolete.

All you need is an Android (v2.1 or better) smartphone, to download and install this App — absolutely FREE.

Thereafter, no more searching for jobs on job sites — including this!
No more searching for a PC or internet connection.

All you do is to touch the “Jobs for All” icon on your mobile screen — and a job matching your resume will appear.
Then, if you like the job and would like to “Apply,” just touch the APPLY button shown below the job ad.

If you can get water by turning a tap, and electricity by pushing a switch —
then why not jobs by touching your mobile screen?

And this transformational stuff from HP Labs will provide a level-playing field for millions of mobile phone owners in the remotest corners of India, with poor internet connectivity.

Here are jobs for you all — whosoever you may be,
wherever you are, and whenever you want!

Your email is very encouraging. I wait impatiently.

I suppose, we will need to make some changes in our site to make this work.
I suppose you / Shuklendu will know what, and share your thoughts with each other, for smooth implementation.

Only 2 days back, I sent to both of you, an email, saying we need to show a DUMMY / SAMPLE "Job Detail Page" to those who are NOT registered on our site, but who download / install "Jobs" app on their smartphones.


Enclosed find:

▶ Revised page write-up for
“Job Alerts on Mobile”
{ANNEX : A}


▶ Page write-up for a NEW page
"Free App For Smart Phone"
{ANNEX : B}
(Duplication of info with JAM page is intentional)

▶ Write-up (draft) for
"Publisher’s Comments"
{ANNEX : C}

For whichever websites Revathi decides to upload this app – so that users have many sources for downloading.

I am sure Revathi would want this draft vetted by HP’s legal dept.

▶ A list of websites from where our “Resume Rater” s/w tool can be freely downloaded
(We uploaded on only 2. Rest have copied!)
{ANNEX : D}

Usage of Smart Phones in India

Enclosed find
► Relevant Newspaper Cutting
► Summarized findings tabulation

This has relevance to our efforts to develop an Android Widget (Should we call it a “Tool”?) for JOBS ALERTS.

By now, you must have received my earlier handwritten note, enclosing U/I for 2 pages on CustomizeResume.
Is that a feasible/correct approach? By this, I mean:
► Can people download TOOL from our site and then install on their smart phones? I don’t know technicalities involved!

I suppose, most users may prefer to go to the ANDROID MARKETPLACE from their smartphones and download JOBS APP directly.

Then there are many other websites offering ANDROID-based apps.


We should upload “JOBS APP” on these websites as well, so people have a wide option from where to download.

Users (of Android phones) are always searching such websites for “What is New?”

However,

if downloading APP from CustomizeResume (on their PC) and then installing on their smart phones (by SYNCING ?) is NOT feasible,
then,
we may modify my write-ups (for 2 pages) and, instead of

ADDITIONAL POINTS ( I )


“FRESH GRADUATES” feature
27/07/2011
Additional points (1)

► In my “concept note”, I mentioned that ALL 40 lakh fresh graduate “records” become available under “Resume Search” from DAY ONE itself (i.e. as soon as a record gets uploaded into database.

As a corollary, when a recruiter selects / clicks on any PEN in the search results, that “record”

► becomes “visible”
► becomes “downloadable”

You would have noticed that I am using the word “record” instead of “resume”.

Because, what we have received is a string of 25 “fields” for each candidate.

Even though it is a “record” and not a “resume”, we must ensure that, when it is “viewed” by an employer, its “cosmetic presentation” / display is EXCELLENT.

It must look like a well-designed / well-arranged RESUME – and not a “record”.
This is very important issue.

Matching Resumes when a job gets posted

You can call a “Job Posting” action, as some kind of PASSIVE “Resume Search” action.

Post Job
A recruiter posts a job and expects that jobseekers (interested/suitable) will “discover” that job during “job search” and apply – even as the recruiter is passively (lazy?) waiting!

Resume Search
Recruiter has no time. He is in a hurry. He cannot wait for some jobseekers to discover his “posted job”.

So he actively conducts a resume-search, to, himself discover, matching/suitable resumes.

This is the reason why “CRITERIA / FIELDS” in both,
➤ Job Post
➤ Resume Search
are nearly identical!

So, about 2 years ago when we launched CustomizeResume, we decided that as soon as a recruiter posts a job, we will immediately show below, a set of “Matching Resumes” fetched from our resume database.
May be around that time, other jobsites


also introduced this feature.
A “Job Post” was equated with “Resume Search”.

A software was written and this was even implemented.

But, within a few weeks, we had to withdraw this feature!

Simple reason.

We had just VERY FEW resumes for matching!

As a result, every time a recruiter posted a job advt, a message flashed,

“Sorry! No matching resumes found.”

This was very embarrassing!

So we discontinued it.

But now, in case of “FRESH GRADUATES” (only) we can re-introduce this concept.

This is because, as soon as a fresh grad. “record” gets uploaded, it becomes instantly searchable in “Resume Search”. No matter what job gets posted, we will always have plenty of matching fresh grad. resumes to display & amaze the recruiter!
