FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
28 Feb
2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rahul /
Shalaka / Shubhangi / Poonam :
* MM will be an ONLINE tool which can be freely
downloaded from our web site and also from other web sites such as Download.com
* It should be a small tool ( 4 / 5 Mb ), with
dot 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 Function / Skill
" ( any one only ) , from the drop-lists in the ACTIVATE page
# selects " date " of activation from
calendar
( 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 Weightage 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 advts links
In
fact, non job-advt links far exceed the job advt links !
For
our purpose , we have to avoid / ignore / eliminate , these non jobadvt links
MYRIAD
has provision for user to select , values from
* " FROM LINK " drop list
* " TO LINK " drop list
This
adds one manual intervention / selection . It would be ideal if we could avoid
this . If not , we follow the same procedure
# Once the job advts hiding behind the job advt
links are " harvested " ( usually 10 to 50 per page ) , MM will try
to find Function / Skill related Keywords - " relevant " to that
candidate's resume - and COMPUTE the SCORE
# MATCH INDEX can be calculated as per a
tabulation of :
* Column 1............. Advt Number ( 1 , 2 , 3
etc )
* Column 2.............. Raw Score of Job Advt
( 32, 45 , 61 etc )
* Column 3............... Raw Score of Text
Resume ( 60 , 60 , 50 )
* Column 4............... Match Index ( 32/60 ;
45 / 60 : 62 / 60 )
* Column 5 ............ % Percentage ( 52 % / 33 % / 102 % )
The
advts will then get displayed in the descending order of % , as shown
below tabulation :
* Column 1........ Advt No
* Column 2........ Advertise Company Names
* Column 3 ....... Position / Vacancy Name
* Column 4....... Posting City Name
* Column 5 ........ Match Index ( 102 / 52 / 33
etc )
* Column 6........ Select ( Check Boxes )
May
be we should try to extract the email ID from eacj job advt ( if given in the
advt )
Naukri provides email IDs but Monster / Timesjobs /
Jobsdb etc do not
We
should not display the email Ids in the tabulation
# Select ( tick in Check Box ) , will open that
job advt . After reading , candidate can decide to " Apply Online "
and click relevant button
Of
course , this would require him to earlier deposit his resume on that job site
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
foolproof method which will allow a user to ,
> " Apply Online " against any job
advt in Naukri , but with his PROFILES developed on our web site ( - not the
text resume deposited in 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 results table
If
a candidate decides to click on any email Id ( of a job advt ) , then our
software picks up that email ID and inserts 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 in
into our RESUME COURIER
When
he has gone through 24 pages ( of job search results ) and selected ( say ) 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 software will pick up his PROFILES and forward it (
with appropriate covering letter , similar to what I have given for Resume
Blast ) to all 43 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 his " 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 web site
Once
again , MM will " market " IndiaRecruiter.net in a very subtle
fashion - and very indirectly
If
a job advt does not contain email Id , a candidate can always click ( check box
) to apply online with his text resume
In
fact , this will be the case , with most of the web sites - since these do not
display the email Ids
Another
bye-product ( of candidate applying through RESUME COURIER method ) :
We
will be able to compile a very comprehensive " APPLICATION HISTORY "
of each user candidate as shown in a tabulation as below :
CANDIDATE
NAME :........ Unique No ...............
Activation Date :...........
Col
1......... Serial No
Col
2......... Date Applied
Col
3........ Company Name
Col
4........ Vacancy Name
Col
5........ Posting City
Col
6........ Match Index
Col
7........ Response ( can be entered by candidate )
We
can make available such HISTORY to a registered candidate in his own ,
ADMIN
PAGE,
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 , WHEN and for WHAT
position !
Let
us do this !
