In future, we plan to make Resume sorter downloadable from other reputed websites such as www.Download.com . You will be able to download Resume sorter from such websites. - however, you will still need to become a registered corporate subscriber on India Recruiter. net, obtain user ID/ Password, then enter this user ID/ Password, on the ACTIVATION PAGE of Resume Sorter copy downloaded by you. 

A. 4.
Most of the time, you can use Resume Sorter offline. The only time you need to go online is to synchronize your local resume database (created thru use of Resume Sorter) with our similar - but much lager - online database on India Recruiter.net. Of course, you will also need to be online at the time of "ACTIVATING". You will need to "ACTIVATE" Resume Sorter, every time you wish to use it. However, once "ACTIVATION     CONFIRMATION" flashes on your ACTIVATION PAGE, you can disconnect and start working offline.

A. 5
Yes, you do. Here are those TERMS & CONDITIONS 

A. 6
Yes you can. There is no compulsion to synchronizes your local resume database with our online resume database. However, frequent synchronization works to your advantage. Thru synchronization, your local database will grow manifold.

A. 7
yes, you can use Resume Sorter to "read - rate - rank", any text resumes lying on your hard disk. Thereafter, you can "store" these in the same FUNCTION / SKILL - wise folder, where, text resumes received in your mailbox are getting deposited automatically.

A. 8
All future versions of Resume sorter will be compatible with earlier versions. This means, even when you download / switch - over to the Latest version, the resume database created using earlier version will still remain valid and can be accessed / searched. 

A. 9
No ! Resume sorter database is created by users thru Parsing / rating/ sorting TEXT resumes, whereas Interviewer database consists of profiles, created Online on our website, when candidates/ job seekers fill - up "Submit Resume" forms. Hence there can be no "transfer/ migration" in either direction.

A. 10
TEXT resumes, whether "rated / ranked/ sorted" either by Resume Rater OR by Resume Sorter, go (get deposited) into the SAME, "Function / Skill - wise" folders. Hence, there is no need for any "transfer/ migration". However, Resume Rater does NOT, parse text resumes and, therefore, does NOT create a STRUCTURED / FIELD -     WISE database. This can be done only by Resume Sorter. This is why, only Resume Sorter has a built - in SEARCH - ENGINE, which is capable of searching this STRUCTURED /FIELD - WISE database. 

A. 11
Of course, you can ! In fact, we encourage you to do so. They will highly appreciate your friendly gesture. Remember, the more the number of persons using Resume Sorter, the greater is the benefit derived by all. To use internet jargon, an important feature of Resume Sorter is its "Network External" as, for example, in the case of telephone network. The network, the greater is the benefit derived by all.

A. 12
Not immediately but we have plans to make it downloadable from other websites. There will be no differences or limitations, but, as stated elsewhere, to be able to use Resume sorter, you will

         . Need to Register as our Corporate Subscriber

         . Get your user ID/ Password

         . Enter User ID/ Password in Resume Sorter's ACTIVATION - PAGE, every time you want to use it.

A. 13
Resume Sorter which you install on your PC/ LAN, will "read & sort" the email messages arriving in your own mail box. This means you are, positively, receiving no more than a few hundred resumes, everyday. But, if a thousand users install Resume sorter, then, between them, they could receive several thousand resumes daily in their mail boxes. Thru use of Database synchronize, you are able to access/ search, all the resumes received by all users. It becomes a giant Network/ Grid of all the users, where everyone Contributes and everyone benefits.

A. 14
We can, but normally we won't ! We would, only if we discover that, when you are using "Database Synchronize", We are receiving from you end, any mischievous / malicious/ undesirable contact (masquerading as "Resume") or   any virus/ spyware/ malware etc. 

A. 15
Sorry ! on you own you cannot get Resume sorter to "SORT / CLASSIFY/ CATEGORIZE" incoming text resumes into  any functions/ skill other than what are already built into Resume Sorter. This is because, "rating/ ranking/ sorting" depends upon

       . Keywords present in the resume (and the context)

       . Pre - assigned weightages of each keywords for each "Function/ Skill" category.

But, we welcome you to create new functions/ skills/ keywords/ keyword weightages by suing Poll - e - Tiks, and  encouraging your friends/ colleagues to do the same. This means, although individual user cannot "add / create" new functions/ skills, all the users can do so, if they act (poll/ vote) collectively. at Poll - e - tiks.

A. 16
Sure you can. Earlier I said that, you need to ACTIVATE Resume Sorter, every time you want to use it (by entering your user ID/ Password in the ACTIVATION PAGE). So, if you do not ACTIVATE, then the Resume Sorter stands suspended. It won't read you mail box ! I am no happy with this answer ! There may be some / many users who would "hate" to "Activate" every morning or again & again ! They may want to leave Resume Rater "Activated / On" 24 X 365 ! If it has to be manually activated from time - to - time, what event will "de - activate" it? Session - time?Who can predict, how many email resumes will keep arriving every hour ? or even when ? 

A. 17

Yes, several users connected thru LAN, can access resume database created using Resume Sorter - as long as it is a COMMON / CENTRAL / SINGLE database. For the time being, users connected thru WAN/ VPN cannot, all, access resume database. We hope to make this possible in our next version.

A. 18
Resume Sorter has a facility to enter as many email ID as you wish. of course, emails being received against each of these ONE/ SAME mail box. Once Resume Sorter will work in conjuction with only ONE mail box.For different mail boxes, you will need to install different (copies) Resume Sorter. However, output from all mailboxes can be / will be, deposited into SAME/ COMMON, function/ skill - wise folders.

A. 19
The STRUCTURED RESUME DATABASE created thru parsing of text resumes, will have an accuracy - level of > 90! Resume sorter, has a facility named EDIT DATABASE Here, on same page/ indow, you will get to see

       . Original text resume

        . Relevant, parsed structure / fields

By comparing the two, you will be able to edit any field with incorrect value/ data. 

A. 20
Yes, Of course ! No doubt your recruiters will store such downloaded resumes in some or other folder. Resume sorter has a bulk processing feature thru which it can read rate - rank and "categorize" all the resumes lying in such folders. 

A. 21
When you download and start using Resume sorter, it is quite like subscribing to a magazine. When you subscribe to a magazine, you get all "future" issues but you don't get any "past" issues ! Likewise, in Resume sorter, when you click on button Synchronize Database You get to download all future "Additions" of resumes to our online database but you cannot download resumes which got added prior to your joining ! Which means if you join in June 2009, and your competitor joins in April 2009, your competitor will be able to download all the resumes received between April and Jun, which you cannot! It is "Early Bird gets the Worm"

A. 22
yes. To find out which of our subscribers are using Resume sorter, just click on this link.
