Job Alerts on Mobile
During the last 30 days, we had approx. 9000 visits to our site.
But only 4/5 "Jam alert" SMS.
I am unable to figure out why jobseekers are not using this excellent (and FREE) service, which eliminates their dependence on PC/Internet connection.
All the jobseekers have mobiles – and I am sure all of them send many other SMS everyday.
And I have only ONE instance of a candidate phoning for explanation of how JAM works. Unfortunately, in his case, there were NO MATCHING JOBS!
Maybe, we will get some more feedback when we put our phone no. and email ID below EACH page.
But instead of trying to decipher why jobseekers are NOT sending JAM alert SMS, we should ask ourselves...
"What can WE do to simplify JAM?
What can WE do to make it very easy for jobseekers to use JAM?
How can WE eliminate the 'friction' (in the process) of JAM?"
Maybe the answer is:
▶ Eliminate SMS
▶ Introduce a simple icon ![Job Alerts]
Which can be installed on any smartphone thru a small downloadable s/w application
▶ Touching the icon straightaway loads the candidate's “Job Details on Mobile” screen
(– not the “Matching Jobs” screen)
▶ If he is not a registered candidate, touching “Job Alert” icon will flash a message:
"To see your matching job-alerts, first register on www.CustomizeResume.com – and enter this mobile number."
▶ “Job Details” display on Smartphone will have [Apply] button at the —
bottom, touching which will email that candidate’s resume to the job-advertiser.
Touching on [NEXT] button will reveal the next matched job.
Maybe I have OVERSIMPLIFIED the entire process (– my advantage is my computer illiteracy!).
But then, why are smartphones getting so popular – and set to eliminate plain phones within 2 years?
Reason:
Smartphones are as easy to operate as switching on a light bulb or clicking on a TV remote – (both of which are context that even villages understand & regularly interact with).
I have tried to explain my idea in the enclosed diagram.
I hope, between them, HP Labs and Sentient Systems, can bring about a revolution of a “level playing field” for millions of jobseekers.

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 {ANNEX: C}
“Publisher’s Comments”
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}
(Draft icon design: “Jobs” logo sketched)

GURU-MATCH -INDE
RecruitGuru
Pay per Use --------------------
JobSearch? (GuruMatch)
10/04/04 MATCH-INDEX
This feature will be introduced, say 1 yr, after WSJ.com + TAMI are working satisfactorily.
Dear Jobseeker:
Jobsearching is an old-fashioned, obsolete technology. (Of course, still used by most of the job sites).
With thousands of job-adverts getting uploaded everyday on hundreds of jobsites, who can spend 26 hours per day, searching for those few "ideal" jobs? – even if you are currently unemployed.
And, even if you have that kind of time, you are still likely to miss out those few "ideal" jobs.
Then surfing on jobsites is not cheap either, at, may be, Rs. 20 per hour.
Would it not be great if those "Ideal" jobs come searching for you?
You bet.
And we are the only website in the entire World, which makes this possible!
How?
Take a close look at your own
FUNCTIONAL EXPOSURE PROFILE
(in the ImageBuilder version of your resume).
It shows your "Raw Score" & your "Percentile Score".
(Of course, both of these change everytime you submit your fresh email resume on our website).
Now, unseen to you, what our GuruMatch software does, is to compute similar "Raw Score" & "Percentile Score" of thousands and thousands of Job Adverts, compiled from hundreds of websites.
Then, it compares/matches
▶ your percentile-score (from your resume)
▶ with
▶ percentile-scores of thousands of job-adverts
(of course, in matter of seconds)
When GuruMatch finds one or more "matches", it sends you a job-alert (as email or SMS).
To satisfy yourself (with the uncanny precision of GuruMatch), log into your online "Personal Page", view the details of the "matched" job-adverts, and then "Apply Online".
You have obliged the advertising Company by allowing them to search you!
If you are quite choosy – about the kind of jobs that should come searching for you, then fill in the following form:
Match-Request
Dear GuruMatch:
Please send me "alerts" for:
▶ Function []
▶ My functional percentile score is []
▶ Functional percentile score of Job-Adverts should be [] to []
▶ Send alert as SMS on my mobile phone no. [__________]
▶ My Mobile Service Provider is []
▶ My PEN is [_____________]
▶ My User ID is [________]
▶ My Password is [_____________]
SHUKLENDU MY JOBS ALERT RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM - “World Wide Mind”

Job Alert Recommendation System
I have written to you about this in my emails of 08/09 June.
I enclose some of my older notes on the same subject.
Not everything that I wrote in those notes may be valid today, but the fundamentals of
▶ Predictive / Personalized Job-Alerts
based on
▶ Development of a “Match Index” for each newly arriving job-advt
based on
▶ Keywords – and their weightages – contained in past Jobs Applied,
remains.

“My Comments on Pg: 42”
In my emails (June 08/09, 2012) to Shuklendu, I have laid down the “logic” to be followed in “Job Alerts Recommendation” algorithm, which will be based on “Jobs Applied History” of each candidate.
I have suggested to highlight/hyperlink (to Wikipedia?), “keywords” found in each recommended advt.
Obviously, these are the very same keywords which that candidate has “seen” in previous advts — and may be the keywords that made him “Apply” against those previous advts.
So, when he once again “sees” those same keywords in next job advt, his (pleasant?) memory will make him “Like” this next advt!
My attempt should be to “trigger” in the brain of the jobseeker, “pleasant/happy” memories, upon seeing a job-alert “recommended” by our algorithm.
When he “sees” the SAME keywords, will it make him feel “GOOD”?
Notes from “World Wide Mind” (Author: Michael Chorost)
Dated: 18/06/2012
Pg = 42
The implication for brain implants is this: to make someone “see” something, it may be sufficient to trigger a memory of having seen a similar object before.
As strange as this sounds, it happens all the time.
In dreams, none of the dreamer’s sensory input is actually coming from the senses. It is all assembled, willy-nilly, from memories.
Dreams are an extreme case, but even in waking life, a great deal of brain’s sensory experience is actually internally generated by raiding memories.
This doesn’t mean that the external world does not exist, or is irrelevant; when you see a door and open it, much of your experience is coming from sensory information. But quite a lot of detail is filled in, such as information about shapes, colors and textures……
That’s a tip-off that the brain’s stored expectations — that is, its memories — shape experience to a much greater extent than commonly realized.
My Comments on Pg: 47 / 49
For my purpose,
▶ Analyzed Portion of data
≡ keywords found in “Jobs Applied History”
▶ Unanalyzed Portion of data
≡ keywords found in jobs NOT APPLIED yet.
I am looking for a “pattern” of keywords, in (say), 100 advts a candidate has “Applied for” earlier.
The higher the “frequency”, the higher the “weightage” for a given keyword.
So, it tells me, what advts (containing keywords with high weightages) will “appeal” to him.
“Weightages” are my “prior knowledge”.
If he has liked these “keywords” in the past, then he is likely to “like” them in future as well.
This is how we will try to “decipher his intention”.
Pg = 49
Note that in order for blackboxing to work, you have to know ahead of time, what you are looking for.
You have to be looking for a neural pattern or a P300, with the prior knowledge of what they mean in a given situation.
The algorithms are inherently closed-ended.
The machine knows that a given pattern means Add and another one means Subtract……
A pattern-matching methodology, by its very nature, can tell us nothing at all about the subject’s conscious experience……
……algorithms can model the information-flow within a brain, and from that make predictions about what the brain is attempting to do.
They have become pretty good at detecting and executing simple intentions.
FREE DISTRIBUTION OF RESUME SORTER / MATCH MAKER
27-12-07
What could be long-term benefits of developing and freely distributing:
▸ Resume Sorter ——— to HR Mgrs
▸ MatchMaker ——— to Jobseekers
One obvious use would be to offer (on IndiaRecruiter), FUNCTION/SKILL wise:
▸ Resume Search ——— to HR Mgrs
▸ Job Search ——— to Jobseekers
If we succeed in extracting:
▸ Company Name / Email ID
▸ Posting Date,
then these “searches” could be “refined” accordingly.
And, since search-results are according to descending order of raw scores, the best records are at TOP.
Of course, such a resume-search will only yield plain text resumes!
And in such a job-search, we may not be able to provide “Apply Online” feature!
27-12-07
Hence question may arise, if HR Mgrs and jobseekers would find this useful!
Another use of the “harvested & raw-scored” resumes and job-advt., could be to enable:
▸ HR Mgrs to look-up the BEST (top-scored) job-advt for any given function/skill — then use that as a HELP to write/construct their own job-advt.
i.e. using BEST advts (for any function/skill) as a BENCHMARK / IDEAL.
▸ Jobseekers to look-up BEST (top-scored) resumes for any given function/skill — then use that as a help to rewrite their own text resume.
I have already explained this logic.
