OES-(IF/THEN).

21 Jan 2004

OES-(IF/THEN).

In the last line of my yesterday’s note, I have laid down a rule 

(IF/THEN).

The way this procedure will work in practice is as follows:

When Asutosh receives any cheque from a client (whether for advance/progress payment/final payment/out of pocket), he will phone the concerned consultant and give following details:

·     Client Name

·     Cheque Details (No/Amount/Date)

After entering these details into appropriate OES Input screens, the consultant will telephonically advise/confirm the entry, whereupon Asutosh will deposit the cheque in the bank.

If you foresee any problems. Place let me know soon.

SUN MICROSYSTEMS

20 Jan 2004

Abhi/Kartvya,

SUN MICROSYSTEMS

I force partner Program

Thank you for visiting us on 24th inst and for the very useful discussions, re: the possibility of our two organizations collaborating under suns I- force partner program.

During your visit, we had an opportunity to,

·     Show you what we have, so far achieved on www.Rearuitguru.com

·     Share with you our vision of evolving Recruitgiru in to a “Recruitment Process Platform” them development & development of an export system.

As suggested by you, I enclosed, requitguru’s

·     Vision statement

·     Technical write-up.

During our discussions, I also mentioned that we have initiated a dialogue with NCST/C-DAC,

To explore the possibility of collaboration in the development of an export system, drawing upon their experience in “ANWESHAK” – a NLP based software, and our domain expertise in the area of recruitment.

We believe, sun’s Java technology is an ideal platform to build and deploy a webservice (pay-per-use) application. And recruitment being a core business-process for millions of organizations across the world, such an application would become an extremely powerful proof-of concept”, when dealing with your customers. BY being an early adopter of Java-and that too as a webservice, we are, in principle, willing to provide you with such a proof.

I now await to hear from you, in as specific terms as possible, the kind of technical/ marketing and financial support that we can expect under Sun’s partner program.

ORDER EXECUTION SYSTEM (OES)

ORDER EXECUTION SYSTEM (OES)

Abhi/Kartvya,

·     3 main bugs were removed by Dec.2002. Since Jan 2003, it was made possible to use OES in most of the cases, with some rare exceptions.

·     Since then, one year has passed a long enough period for the system to settle down. During this period, I have not received any feedback from anyone re: difficulties/Problems, if any, faced by anyone, in the use of the system.

Since “No news is good news” I presume OES is working fine.

·       Starting Feb 1, I would be asking ath of you (one at a time), to show me all output statements (Reports) of OES re: the assignments handled by you since Jan 2003 or being handled by you currently on my desktop. If you are in arrears, you have 10 days to catch up. From Feb 1 No advance payment cheque will be deposited in the bank, unless consultant concerned, certifies relevant entries in to OES.

TENTATIVE PROJECT OVERVIEW FOR TECH-TEAM

TENTATIVE PROJECT OVERVIEW FOR TECH-TEAM

Raju/Abhi,

·     Enclosed find a tentative overview, After discussing with concerned users in 3P (Nirmit/Mitchelle/SriRam etc), you may wish to firm-up this as a pacca “ Project Plan” in consultation with Abhi/Ansu/Regi/Vikram etc.

·     Please note that “Job mining (#7) & web spider (#6) does not involve vikram/Regi. This is sole responsibility of Abhi/Deepa (who has earlier developed AUTO-CONVERTER, all by herself). This is an offline application in VB. Initially we will only confine ourselves to creation of a “Structured” database of Job advts. Using this database. 7/8 “Applications” eav…developed. But we will not get into development of these applications, until, Someday, we are ready to reap the “benefits” of these applications.

·     Both the spidering & job mining will be totally automatic/offline applications, which would take up, no more than 30 minutes of deepa’s time every day. I am sending Func-Space Folder to Abhi, separately.
·     Without completing item #8 (Abhi’s estimate – 1 week our consultants CANNOT use GuruMine/GuruSearch.

·     Preparing “Revised func.Specs (UIs) for Net OES “is an important first step for you/Sriram/Mitchelle

HUMAN CAPITAL

12 Jan 2004

HUMAN CAPITAL

·     In the already overcrowded e - recruitment market, comes a newly launch product with a different..

·     www.recruitguru.com. There is no huge, upfront annual subscription.

·     Its service can be activated with a nominal activation - fee.

·     It is a pay - per - use or pay - when - use or tariff based self - service, much like a prepaid SIM card of a cell phone.

·     The subscriber can customize what services he wants to use and when.

·     A transparent and powerful Admin Tool (Flight Deck) places entire control in the hands of the subscriber.

·     He can monitor and modify usage - pattern of all the "authorized" recruitment managers of his company at any time and in any manner of his choice.

·     Subscribers can create their own private/ secure resume databases on RecruitGuru (which no one else can access).

·     Artificial intelligence based, self - convert plain email resumes into a structured and searchable database, without  human intervention ! So thousands of email resumes accumulated by a corporate over the years, overnight get  transformed into a database.

·     Now instead of re - advertising same or similar vacancies again and again, all that the subscriber needs to do, is to search his own or secure database, using RecruitGuru's powerful search engine.

·     This one feature alone can save lakh of rupees in advertising cost, annually.

·     As its homepage proclaims, it could well be heralding in the future of recruitment web services.

EXTRACTION SPEED

8 Jan 2004

EXTRACTION SPEED

Raju/Sanjeev/Abhi/Ansu

·     Only 1200 resumes got extracted during last 24 hours! & presume all of these belong to 3P. Recruitguru is supposed to be capable of extracting (let us say “Processing”) 900,000 per day! (@ 1200/hours x 24 hours x 30 subscriber connections, at a time)

As soon as a no of subscribers start real free trial, this (Speed) will become a major constraint.

·     There are some typo errors on various pages. These must be removed soon.
