OFFLINE ENTRY OF JOBS BY CORPORATES

OFFLINE ENTRY OF JOB-ADVT BY CORPORATES

We have (in v. 1.3.0) already created an application whereby job-aduts can be entered offline by vendors and then emailed to us for uploading on our website.

This application & job-adut forms have been put on a CD, which is handed over to the vendors. I understand the application & forms, take-up 11 MB of memory.

Now, it is possible to give this CD to any Corporate for offline entry of their job-aduts & email to us.

Process is no different than when we give the CD to a vendor.

The difference comes here:

Whereas, we may have 2, 3 or 5 vendors (for offline entry), as far as Companies are concerned, we

may want to give this CD to 5000 Corporates!

This would be a VERY EXPENSIVE proposition!

And after sending the CD (through courier), if the Company does not use it or use it immediately, then the whole effort/cost is wasted!

Ideal solution would be to be able to email this entire application & webforms to those Corporates. That would cost nothing - so even if those Companies do not use it, nothing is lost! If a few hundred start using it, it is a big gain!

But Mustafa tells me, you cannot email a 11 mb file - just too big! (even after compressing?).

Next solution:

Can a "willing/desirous" Corporate "download" the entire "application &

webforms" from our website? I believe there are several "freewares"/"sharewares" of similar SIZE which people can - and do - download from hundreds of websites.

So this seems like a possible solution.

Q: Why should a Corporate download entire 11 mb application? Why not a few "kb" size of "job-adut forms" only?

Ans: A static form cannot have big drop-down lists of

• Industry (220)
• Functions (110)
• Trades/Vocations (500)
• Desig.

etc. etc.

This is what makes application huge.

Q: Can we allow Companies to free-text type "Ind/Function" etc.

And when they email to us, only filled-in job-aduts, we, at our end, go through & apply the correct codes, before uploading on website?

Such a feasibility should be seriously examined - even though, it is a compromise-solution and involves some human-intervention at our end, before uploading.

Q: If a Company has internet-connection (to be able to download an 11 mb file) then why should it not, directly post the job-adut - ONLINE in the first place?

Ans: Once it has posted just ONE job-adut, it gets a CORPORATE KEY, so that, it does not have to enter "static" info, again & again.

$\triangleright$ All factories/branches of a large Company may not have internet connections. We would send

the email (application & webform) to Central HQ/Chief of Personnel, with a request to put it on a CD & forward these CD's to all his factories/regional offices/branch offices.

These offices can then enter their respective job-aduts in the "web-forms" & forward (email?) these web-forms to Central Office for CONSOLIDATION (after check/review/approval/authorisation) before emailing entire file to 3P.

OR

After filling-in, the branches/regions/factories may take-out printouts (hard-copies) and snail-mail to HQ, who, in turn, forward to us. Ultimately, these job-adut forms may start circulating amongst other functional-managers also (production/materials/Sales/Marketing/Finance).

Our long-term goal is to make 3P job-adut. FORMS, to become, de facto

INDUSTRY STANDARD.

To become this, the FORMS, need to be circulated WIDELY!
