Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

ORDER EXECUTION PROCESS

Sheetal

Order Execution Process

See enclosed flow-chart as perceived by me.

#1 Reality may be different

#2 What you "ideally" want to happen may be still different.

CMT/Mitchelle/AMB should get together and draw-up #1 as well #2.

All the processes which can be "automated" must be automated.

Two such processes which needs to be automated IMMEDIATELY are:

  • (A) Sending "Terms" to every Corporate who posts job ad-ult on our website
    • This is now flat $8\%$ - and recruiter must click on TERMS at the bottom of "Job Ad-ult Form" can SAVE/SUBMIT.
    • CMT, I believe, has started doing this - (of-course, manually).
    • Before he can SAVE, there is no TERMS, so, need to send once again!
  • (B) "Forwarding "resumes" to job-advertisers as per instructions of candidates.
    • Now implemented in V 3.0 as an AUTOMATED PROCESS.
    • Resumes being forwarded to advertisers with APPROPRIATE covering letter.

In my mind, (B) is far more important than (A).

Only if (B) takes place promptly/regularly for all "Candidate-Instructions" received during the course of the day, will the job-advertiser get to know that

  • 3p website gets visited by many jobseekers daily
  • His own job-advt. gets seen by many jobseekers daily
  • His job-advt. did actually get "pushed" to thousands of jobseekers as "job-alert"
  • Many job-seekers have shown interest in his advt and expressed their interest in applying against his job.

All of the above-mentioned "Impressions" will get created

ONLY - and only - IF the job-advertiser promptly starts receiving RESUMES from 3p.

To achieve this objective, offline job-advt. entry $\&$ picked up from papers $\&$ other websites will start within 2/3 days (by Sajida)

  • If he starts getting resumes within a few hours of posting the job-advt his confidence in the "efficacy" of our website will go up dramatically.
  • If he gets an impression that 3P website can and does work to his advantage, he will be tempted to comeback and post more advts - again & again.

On the other hand, if he receives no "resumes" for days together, after posting his job-advt, then his thoughts will run like,

  • "3P is a useless site. Apply apply no reply! Seems like no candidate ever visits this site - and the few who may visit, do not seem to get a chance to see "my" advt. & respond."

Even if posting an advt. is free on 3P, what is the use! - if there is no response. It would be much better for me to next time post my job-advt on

other websites like Naukri/jobsahard/jobstreet/jobdb/prizedjob etc. etc.

What if these other websites charge me Rs. 500/- to post my advt. It is peanuts! On the other hand I directly receive all candidate-response immediately, without anyone coming in the way.

Here, in case of 3P unless they pass-on the resumes of interested candidates, I have no clue how many are interested & who are interested.

So let me forget about 3P!

Such thinking on part of advertiser could spell the death of our "BUSINESS-MODEL"!

So we must automate these "processes" - and do so FAST.

Vinod will do this under guidance from CMT & Mustafa (UXceed).

P.L. instruct Vinod how to go about.

Target $\to 22^{nd}$ Feb.

(Flowchart/Diagram)

  • standard $\mathbf{8\%}$ - already - in TERMS below job-advt forms in website. Hence process automated.

If OES stabilizes by Dec. 2001, we would, throw-open some parts of OES to Recruiters ONLINE (i.e. on the website), where, not only he can TRACK/MONITOR the progress of his ASSIGNMENT directly on his own, but, he can, give us such "instructions" online.

Flowchart:

  1. Corporate Posts Job Advt
  2. 3P Sends Terms
  3. Corpo accepts Terms (Corpo cannot post a job-advt unless he clicks on TERMS. This is his "acceptance". This is $\mathbf{8\%}$ hence automated.)
    • Also: Candidate Views Job-Advt or gets a "Job-Alert" (AUTO)
    • Also: Candidate Sends "Instructions" to forward his resume to advertiser (Resume Forwarding Service)
  4. Sheetal forwards diff-resumes to diff-advertisers (Now automated in V 3.0)
  5. Corpo. gives Interview-list to 3P
  6. Sheetal sends Interview-schedule to candidates
  7. Sheetal sends out Interview-call letters to candidates
    • Also (from 4): Sheetal sends feedback to candidates saying their resumes have been forwarded to the advertisers
  8. Experts conduct Interviews
  9. Sheetal receive candidates confirmation
  10. Feedback to Corporate

Robin - Sanjeev

30/05/01

Website V 3.0

Acceptance Testing. Plan

One of the most important feature to be tested and verified for satisfactory working is:

  • When a Candidate requests that his resume (along-display) be forwarded to a job-advertiser, software is supposed to do this along with "One-of-the-four" appropriate covering letter (depending upon type of job-advt, viz:
    • Directly posted by Corporate
    • Picked-up from Newspapers & uploaded by us
    • 3P Hot jobs
    • Shopping Basket Converted to job-advt.

Please check this out with help of Harshad & confirm to me that this feature is properly working.

One more item remaining to be tested / verified is

  • Birth-Day Greeting
  • Edit your Resume Message.

"Job Alert / Candidate Alert" Messages

  • This feature was introduced in V 2.0

Pritam had prepared the message for one of these & shown me, which I had modified & given back.

But till date, I do not know

  • whether messages are going
  • what messages are going.

Please conduct a test/trial of this feature and give me printouts of ACTUAL messages being delivered over email

  • to Jobseekers
  • Recruiters (Advertisers).

Only if I see these, I would know that these are "appropriate".

Documentation?

2 day training $?$ V 3.0 of our staff.

Please find-out from Harshad when this will be carried out.

Mr. Julian Kulkarni

Job partners

Dear Julian

Membership Agreement - Level 2

Thank you for sending this agreement. I have signed it and sending to you thru fax.

I have gone thru the Infosheet and following questions/observations arise:

  • Currently most of our business (executive search assignments) is offline
  • Besides our offline online database, we also have a Sizakale offline database of resumes, which we search regularly.
  • Then there is "headhunting" - without use of either online or offline databases.
  • On our website, jobseekers post their resumes free (no charge).
  • Jobseekers do not even have to "register" to conduct a "jobs database search".

Even when selected/appointed, a

jobseeker is not required to pay us anything

For a jobseeker, our "Resume forwarding service" is free - only we do NOT reveal his identity to the job-advertiser, until and unless the job-advertiser confirms our TERMS (professional fees) in advance.

Similarly, on our website, a Corporate can post his job-advt free of cost. However, when a candidate conducts an online search of our jobs database, we do NOT reveal the identity/contact info of the job-advertiser.

You will notice that our business-model rests upon

  • hiding the identity of jobseekers from & the recruiters and vice-versa.

We have no advt revenue (we like to keep our website clean) nor any subscription - revenue.

Our only revenue is, when a transaction takes place, VIZ: an online shopping-basket, gets converted into a purchase-order ("executive-search assignment"). This requires prior "acceptance" of our TERMS by a Corporate-client, before we start

the assignment.

Our TERMS are divided into 4 different "categories", depending upon the amount of time/effort that we need to put-in, in each "category". These are:

A. Online Sale of Resumes

In this category, we "sell the resume database (along with the jobseeker's identity & contact info), when we receive an online shopping-basket for this category. This covers resumes of

  • College Students (Rs. 100/resume)
  • Fresh Graduates (Rs. 200/resume)
  • Vocation-Designated Staff (Rs. 200/resume)
  • Retired Professionals (Rs. 500/resume).

B. Job-Advt. Posting by a Recruiter

Here, we charge $8\%$ of gross Annual Compensation of the Candidate selected/appointed by the advertiser, from amongst the Candidates applying online against that advt. We do not interview the applicants.

C. Recruiter Conducting online Search of our Resume Database and forwards his Shopping Basket of shortlisted Candidates

In this case, we charge $12\%$ of the gross annual salary of the candidate selected/appointed by the recruiter.

Here we conduct preliminary Interview of the shortlisted candidates and forward to the recruiter, individual "assessments" of each candidate interviewed.

We also assist (if desired) in Conducting final interview and in salary-negotiations.

We have a panel of external "experts" (Industry/Function specialists) who conduct preliminary interviews.

D. Headhunting

In this case, we charge between $16\%$ upto $30\%$ of the gross annual salary of the candidate selected/appointed by the Client.

Usually, these are very senior-level positions (General Managers & above), where we need to put in very considerable efforts in

  • Studying Client-Organisation very thoroughly to understand Work-culture/business/hierarchy/performance-criteria etc.
  • Drawing-up a detailed "Man-Specification" and a "Job-Description".
  • Identifying industries/companies to be targeted for potential candidates
  • Prepare potential candidate short-list for prior approval of Client.
  • Contacting shortlisted candidates for their interest in changing - in our client and in the position concerned.
  • Interviewing a few shortlisted candidates (cover several meetings) and preparing individual "Assessment-Reports".
  • Carrying out "Antecedent Checks".
  • Organising final interviews with our client (usually more than one).
  • Assisting Client in salary-negotiations and occassionally, even drafting a "Contract/Appointment Letter".

Dear Julian,

You will notice that in all cases, the Corporate-Recruiter, deals with us directly and enters into a "contract" with us directly.

This (principle) holds good, even among the members of

FOSTER PARTNERS GLOBAL NETWORK

of which, we are a member.

eg: Our Singapore partner member introduced to us $\mathbf{M/S \ LONZA}$ (who is a Client of our Singapore partner), along with the manpower requirement of LONZA, for their chemical factory. The Singapore partner helped us in negotiating/finalizing the search-assignment but the "Order" came to us directly from LONZA.

When we executed the order, after receiving our professional-fees from LONZA directly, we paid a $15\%$ "Referal Fees" to our Singapore-member.

As per global understanding amongst Foster Partner Members, a "repeat" referral, from same client, within 3 months of the first referral, would entitle him to receive $10\%$ referral fees.

No referral-fees are payable after 3 months.

According to your Infosheet, as far as JPN is concerned, you will collect the fees from the client and forward the amount to us, after deducting your "commission".

For the moment, I am agreeable to go along with your method, on an experimental basis.

Please advice what are the next steps to be taken from both the sides.

With regards,

Nirmit Parekh.

Analysing Pending Assignments

Based on a Consolidated statement given to me yesterday by CMT, I have prepared individual consultant-wise statements. I enclose your statement and request you to fill-in all the missing details and return to Monica before lunch today. keep a photocopy for your ready reference.

To prepare (manually) 7 individual statements from ONE consolidated statement, took me 3 hours, which I could have saved only if I knew how to use a Computer! CMT did offer me a floppy!! But it is too late for me to learn new tricks.

I also enclose some "Analysis charts ($\mathbf{A / B / C}$ )".

I hope, I have asked APPLITECH to incorporate such Analysis (Output statements) in ORDER EXECUTION SYSTEM.

If not, once again, I have no one to blame but myself.

If we have missed-out, we will get these incorporated in the next revision of OES.

It should be possible to see/view such analysis (on the screen) at any time - dynamically generated.

Analysis (A)

Tells us, who is the most important client (in terms of total est. billing) AT THE MOMENT.

If $20\%$ of the clients give us $80\%$ of total "business", then they deserve very special attention & SERVICE too!

Concerned Consultant/s, need to make a phone-call to such clients DAILY, (-and Visit once in 15 days?)

Analysis (B)

Not only tells us "how many" (QUANTITY) assignments are pending with each Consultant but it also tells us about the QUALITY of assignments

Viz:

Is a particular consultant handling

  • few, but "high billing" assignments
  • many, but "low billing" assignments

Analysis (C)

How sharply "focussed" or "diffused" are the consultants?

One Consultant may be handling

20 assignments spread between just 2 clients.

Whereas

another consultant may be handling 10 assignments spread amongst 8 clients. (Spreading yourself thin).

Of course, equitable distribution of work-load amongst Consultants is an important factor.

Then there is the question of a Consultant's own background experience/expertise in handling assignments from a

  • particular INDUSTRY
  • FUNCTION
  • DESIG. LEVEL

or even ability to "handle" a particular HR Manager (in a particular COMPANY) based on "rapport" developed.

As far as a client is concerned,

I suppose, he would be happier dealing with just ONE consultant of 3P for all of his vacancies.

Imagine, that for 5 of his vacancies, he has to deal with 5 different consultants!

A happy/satisfied client will return to us again & again. It is much easier to "retain" an old client as compared to "hooking" a new client.

But if same Consultant deals with a given client (solely) year-after-year, problem may arise when that consultant leaves us & joins a competitor!

So a "compromise" is inescapable.

Offline entry of job-advts by Vendors (picked up from papers & websites)

This offline entry forms/software will be ready in 5/6 days.

Yesterday, I have already sent to you the FORMS showing which fields are "mandatory/optional" as far as Vendor is concerned.

Now you should quickly talk to 3/4 vendors & negotiate the "price" so that as soon as Mustafa gives us the forms, we are able to start with a bang.

It must be made clear to the Vendors that, even if a particular field is not mandatory but, corresponding data is available in the newspaper/website, then that "field" must be filled-in.

I expect total no. of "characters" to vary greatly from advt. to advt. - even for same category of advt. (e.g. Non-IT).

The total no. of characters will MOST certainly be vastly different, between

  • an "IT" job-advt
  • a "subordinate staff" job-advt
  • an "Entry-level" job advt.

So we may not be able to fix a "per-record / per-advt" lump-sum rate. We will have to pay on "per 1000 character" basis only.

So, an accurate software will be required to

  • count the no. of job-advts (records) delivered by each vendor in each "lot"
  • the total no. of characters in that "lot"

And this will need to be "certified"

by Abhi, on the DELIVERY-CHALLAN for each LOT, from each VENDOR.

You will also need to examine/decide whether different "per 1000 character" rate/tariff should be fixed for

  • Advts. picked up from print media
  • Advts. picked up from Websites

Depends upon what "process" the vendor will use in each case. Ideally, even for websites, Vendor should "download & printout" the job-advt, then manually write down on each printout

  • Name URL of website
  • Date

(Instead of "print out", a "CD-ROM can be supplied along with DELIVERY)

& then go-about entering in the offline form, so that when done, he can tick on printout to indicate that it is entered.

Another requirement is that Vendor must submit the newspaper cut-out

or website "print-out" with each LOT. This is absolutely essential.

AMB Could we decide WHO?

We must train $\text{Somebody (Sheetal?)}$ to

  • View each submitted advt on Screen
  • Compare it with the newspaper cut-out or website print-out submitted by the vendor
  • & again tick (in Red) to indicate "Checked & passed"

May be a rubber-stamp can be considered, where Sheetal can sign & put date.

If many fields/data are missing in the Screen (as compared to the cutout/printout)

OR

many fields/data are INACCURATE, then that advt must be rejected/deleted from the LOT, and the

Vendor must be informed about the same

and

appropriate "notation" of such "rejections" should also be made on the Vendor's Delivery Challan.

All this is a must to avoid

  • overpayment
  • heart-burn due to misunderstanding
  • losing a good vendor.

I have told Mustafa to provide a facility to

  • preview
  • edit
  • delete

of offline job-advt at our end.

If there is a small/minor error, Sheetal can correct it herself rather than returning the piece back to Vendor for "re-work"!

So, it will be either "Accept" or

"Reject".

All of the above mentioned detailed PROCEDURE, must be attached to each & every PURCHASE-ORDER (for offline data-entry "services") in the form of "STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS" which should, also incorporate the "terms" which we have already standardised in case of

"OUTSIDE DATABASE Creation" jobs being given to Surinder/Sajida/Rabam etc.

Once uploaded on our webserver, there is no way to find/trace, which job-advt. was supplied by which vendor.

So,

It is absolutely essential that a distinct/separate/identifiable file/directory is maintained on our local harddisk, which stores all job-advts supplied by a given

Vendor. This directory/folder should contain data such as

  • Vendor Name
  • Date of Supply
  • Challan NO. & date
  • Purchase Order NO.
  • No. of records "delivered"} Repeat for
  • No. of records "accepted" "No. of
  • " " "rejected"$\}$ characters"
  • Source (Media)
  • Total Amount payable.

A Vendor must not mix-up job-advts. from 2 different sources in a single LOT. Each LOT must contain job-advts from One source only.

Very clear "rules" must be established in respect of

"What kind of job-advts do we want to be entered offline?".

Guidelines

IT - Prof.

Non-IT Prof.

Subordinate staff

Entry-level job.

(In that order of priority).

Only "Public Ltd." & "Pvt. Ltd." Companies

No job-advts from

  • Edu. Institutions
  • Govt. Depts / Agencies
  • Charitable Trusts

etc etc

(Pl. ask me in case of doubt).

Except for "Subordinate Staff" (VOCATION-DESIGNATED STAFF) job-advts, all others must have e-mail address.

NO "Box No" advt.

NO "Walk-In" Advt.

None older than 15 days. etc etc

(I am sure you can add many DOs & DON'Ts by going thru a few newspapers/websites)

As far as "Subordinate Staff" job-advts are concerned, we may stop offline Creation after $\mathbf{500 / 1000}$ job-advt (The SEED CAPITAL required to kick-off "jobsearch" & "Submit Resume" by this category of jobseekers).

Thereafter, I hope, thru our aggressive marketing (Email-campaign), the advertisers will themselves, start online posting of their requirements for this category and we may not need to do offline entry on our own.

In general, this comment can apply to other 3 categories as well, but in those cases, I feel, we may need to depend upon offline vendors for a long time to come.

I firmly believe that lack of job-advts. is the MAIN CONSTRAINT in the success of our website, so pl. treat this as a TOPMOST PRIORITY item

- Retd. prof

Intermediate Search added

Resume forward mode automatic

Partner website program simplified.

After launch of V 2.0 in Oct. 2000, we have started receiving more Job Advts/Resumes & Shopping Baskets.

However, these increases are not "dramatic"!

I believed, all along - and even now, that introduction of JOB ALERT & CANDIDATE ALERT (in V 2.0, OCT. 2000) should have pushed-up resumes to job-advt postings in a BIG WAY. Somehow this has not happened.

One suspicion I have is that neither JOB-ALERT nor CANDIDATE-ALERT feature has ever worked!!

Had it worked, 3P should have received SOME candidate alerts against the HOT JOBS posted by 3P.

But we have received NONE!

Pritam did show me one "test printout" of either job-alert or candidate alert, immediately after the launch of V 2.0. I had corrected the message and given it back to him for modifying/incorporating. The other "Alert"-message was never given to me despite a lot of follow-up.

If, both "job-alert" & "candidate-alert" have simply never worked during last 8 MONTHS, then it is

not surprising that we are not deluged with resumes & job-advts.

We need to quickly establish (beyond doubt) that these features are working.

If not, we must make them work immediately.

I have asked Robin/Sanjeev to post a job-advt and a resume, (where email add is of 3P) and which are perfectly matching. In this case, we should most certainly receive both types of "alerts" - if these are working.

If we do not receive, that would be the proof that these have never worked - since Oct. 2000!

I am sure Harshad can carry-out these test himself.

Incidentally, statistics email, automatically being forwarded to partners on $2^{nd}$ of each month, are bouncing back! This has been brought to notice of Harshad on saturday last.

I.R. Sethi, met me some 3/4 weeks ago inquiring whether we would have any opening suitable for him.

In the enclosed sheet I have tried to draw-up a list of "responsibilities" that we could consider entrusting to IRS.

I have arranged these (from left to right) in the order of our "priorities".

If IRS manages "Personnel & Admin" function, then it would relieve Nirmit/AMB/Venkat, to a great extent with a lot of small/small daily routine issues & allow all of you to concentrate on Marketing / Order Execution. Perhaps Monica, may continue to be guided by IRS so that, someday, she is able to handle this function on her own - or at least, whenever IRS is unavailable.

If you agree, you may want to call IRS & discuss enclosed chart with him & seek his reaction. One thing must be made clear to him. This is "more-than-full-time" job and will require to put-in long hours.

RESUME VERSIONS

We may fervently pray,

"Everybody should submit his/her resume only on our website and that too directly online, in appropriate webform"

Lord has good reasons not to grant our prayer!

Hence most likely scenario could be as shown in Annex A.

During the course of his life, a person will submit his resume at/from hundreds of places, using different methods/ devices. He will do this again $\&$ again.

And in our own interest, we will try to "capture" those resumes (of the same person), from

  • Wherever we can (Sources)
  • however (method)

This will give rise to "issuance" of

  • duplicate/multiple/PEN
  • User ID
  • Password

to same person (again $\&$ again)

We have (I believe) tried to "block" this (issue of multiple PEN to same person) thru some server-based software.

This has resulted into a peculiar situation.

e.g:

A person tries to submit his resume on our website directly.

He sees some message like,

"Sorry, we cannot accept your resume once again, because it is already in our database. If you wish, you may "EDIT" it using your User ID/Password."

Now, it is that person's turn to be surprised.

He just does not remember, ever having submitted his resume on www.3pjobs.com and obtained a User ID/Password/PEN.

He has no way of knowing that, we got his resume thru

  • another partner website (may not remember that)
  • our Placement Agency Partner (he gave it to 20 agencies)
  • downloading from https://www.google.com/search?q=jobsahead.com
  • his college (10 years back ?)

In a reverse case, we may receive his resume from our partner Placement

agency and when we try to upload it on our website, we find it is already there!

So we need a method to "bounce" it back to that Agency, saying

"The resume of Mr/Ms $\rule{2cm}{0.15mm}$ which you sent us, is already in our online database and hence it is returned to you."

Whereas, it may not be difficult to "automate" such message, the question is,

  • Do we/should we keep track of, from which source/method, a particular resume came into our database for the FIRST time?
  • and again, how did we get it/managed to get it/capture it SECOND time? THIRD/FOURTH/FIFTH time?
  • and depending upon the many combinations possible, what type/kind of "messages" should we send out or display on our website?

If we tried to keep track, I feel our life - and our Server-based software - may get too complicated!

$5/9$

Somehow, I get a feeling that we should give-up all attempts to prevent issuance of duplicate/multiple Username/Password/PEN to the same person. Let him get many.

What is likely to happen, if our server were to issue,

6 different Username/Password/PEN to the same person?

No one would, in the first place, do this (submit his resume 6 times) on his own, knowing that, he cannot possibly remember (keep-track of) 6 different Username/Password/PEN issued each time he submitted)

This is most likely to happen when his resume gets uploaded on our website, 6 times (from 6 different sources)

WITHOUT his knowledge/volition.

Of course, each time, he would receive an email, giving him, different Usernames/Passwords/PEN !!

This (repeat occurrence) may confuse him but we could remove the confusion, by each message, saying,

Dear Jobseeker:

We have managed to collect/pick-up/acquire your resume from more than one source, where you may have posted/emailed/handed-over your resume.

This $\rule{0.5cm}{0.15mm}$ (last) time, when we $\rule{0.5cm}{0.15mm}$ uploaded your resume on our website www.3pjobs.com,

you have been allotted following,

Username: $\rule{3cm}{0.15mm}$

Password: $\rule{3cm}{0.15mm}$

PEN: $\rule{3cm}{0.15mm}$

If you have already received from our webserver, another Username/Password/PEN earlier, you have following choices:

  • Delete the latest/current version of your resume (and the Username/Password/PEN mentioned above), by clicking here $\boxed{\text{Delete}}$
  • Preview your latest/current version and then decide whether you wish to retain/ edit it
  • Edit previous versions of your resumes by entering previously allotted Username/Password/PEN or, if you wish, delete those.

3P Consultants

$7/9$

As far as CLIENT-SIDE implications are concerned, it is possible that, after conducting a resume-search, when he fills-up the "Shopping Basket", he may include 3 different "versions" of same person's resume! - each having a different PEN (giving the client an impression that, he has hit a jack-pot and found 3 excellent candidates!)

This will happen, only if the client even after viewing the "long displays" (of the 3 different PEN), fails to recognize that all 3 belong to the one-and-the-same person!!

In most cases, he would recognize the "duplicate" resumes and pick only ONE (carrying latest date of submission/editing).

Even if client fails, we would know when we look up other details such as Contact Info/Names of current previous employers etc.

So, WE eliminate these "duplicates" and inform the Client accordingly...

AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

And, assuming that even WE failed to notice the duplication, 3 different interview-call letters may go out to the same person (may be even at 3 different addresses!)

But only ONE person can present himself. He will point-out our "error" to us - and, in turn, we point it out to the Client.

This cannot be any great loss-of-face if we put-up, following messages, on our website:

# On "Submit Resume" Page

Dear Jobseeker:

It is possible that we may have received your resumes, at different points of time, from different sources and all of these are part of our online resume database.

Of course, each time, your resume got uploaded on our website, you would have received, a unique set of Username/Password/PEN.

Since it is not possible for us to track/monitor, "who uploaded which version of your resume on our website when and how", it is up to you to delete all obsolete versions (using the Username/Passwords allotted to you each

time) and ensure that only ONE/CURRENT/UP-TO-DATE version of your resume is retained in our online database.

3P Consultants

# On "ENQUIRY FORM" page $\&$ "RESUME-SEARCH" Pages

Dear Recruiter:

Our online resume database consists of resumes submitted $\underline{\text{by}}$

  • a number of "Agencies/Sources"
  • at different "times"
  • using different "methods" of uploading.

As a result it is quite possible that our database may contain $\underline{3/4}$ different "versions" of resumes of SAME person each differing from others in minor respects.

Whereas, we constantly urge the jobseekers to eliminate such duplication (thru editing), it is impossible for us to track/monitor all such instances.

It is therefore possible that, when you conduct a resume-search and prepare a shortlist (for entry into ENQUIRY FORM/ SHOPPING BASKET), some of the resumes

shortlisted by you, while appearing to be different, may belong to the SAME person. This is understandable, since you have no access to detailed information about each resume.

Of course, on our part, we would eliminate such duplication, while sending our "PROPOSAL", in response to your "ENQUIRY FORM".

  • From the above list, we must delete/deduct "dummy" shopping Baskets (if any) created by Sanjeev/Robin/VXceed
  • What remains (good/genuine ones) must be entered into Order Execution System (OES) and a "proposal" sent (thru OES only).
  • Of course, those which are too old, must be immediately "CLOSED" (immediately after entering) WITHOUT sending a proposal. (Forced closure provision of OES).

On our website, on the ENQUIRY FORM (i.e. Shopping Basket form), we have said,

"You will hear from us within 24 hours".

$2/$

Any "proposal" (sent in response to an online Shopping Basket) sent after 24 hours, must carry a sentence, such as

"Dear Sir/Madam,

We regret the delay in responding to your Shopping Basket (Enquiry Form)

NO: $\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$

Dt: $\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$

Enclosed, please find our PROPOSAL, against the same"

  • Next question: Which consultant is going to handle which Shopping Basket? This question must be settled BEFORE a reply/proposal is sent out.

In fact, my impression is that, in OES, unless you enter the name of the consultant (who is going to handle that particular Shopping Basket), you cannot send-out a PROPOSAL.

Is this (Impression) Correct? This mandatory provision is required (if not already built-in), to ensure that no Shopping Basket remains ORPHAN, the moment it is delivered at our doorstep!

For next one week, please keep me informed re: progress in this matter, once-a-day.

HOT JOBS

About 10 days back I had sent you an email requesting you to upload on our website

ALL OUR PENDING SEARCH REQUESTS.

(We claim we have 191 pending executive search assignments!)

This morning I checked-up to find that not a single is uploaded!

Even if you are very confident of finding suitable executives thru your OFFLINE headhunting I feel it is a good idea to upload all of these "positions" on our website! You may get some interesting applications.

P.S.

Cyril/Interns will visit us tomorrow at 9:30 am. If there is anything you want me to discuss with them, pl. give me a list before 12 noon today.

(1) Study $\&$ keep soft-copy of enclosed form on your hard disk

(2) Someday we wish to provide "free" service to a large no. of "Professional Bodies" to increase their "Membership"

(3) Examples of some of these institutions

  • Institution of Engineers
  • NIPM (Nat. Inst. of Personnel Mgrs)
  • IIMMC (Indian Inst. of Matls Mgrs)
  • Institute of Electrical Engineers
  • Inst. of Plant Engineer
  • " " Safety Engineer
  • " " of Chard. Accts etc
  • " " Com. Secretaries

(3) There are 2 such Institutes right in Lok Bharti Complex

  • one on ground floor of

$2/5$

B-2 bldg $\&$ one on ground floor of A-1 (or A-2) bldg!!

(4) Most of the info/data asked for in enclosed form are already available in our RESUME forms

So,

All that we need to add at the bottom of the "SUBMIT RESUME" form is a block like:

$\square$ I am a Member of

$\square$ Please enroll me as Member of

Name of Institute

$\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$

$\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$

$\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$

 

$3/5$

(5) Then we can "extract" bare minimum data/info about that person from the Resume Form and pass-on (as email) to the Secretary of the Concerned Institution as a FREE Service!

In return, we can ask that on all letterheads of that Institution, they print

$$\boxed{\text{Our Membership Enrollment Official website is} \newline \text{[www.3pjobs.com](https://www.3pjobs.com)}}$$

(6) We can provide for "Editing" of Member's Data also.

(7) Alternatively, we can ask each Institute

$4/5$

to give us its OWN/UNIQUE form, which we upload/host on our website, for surfers to fill-in online. we can even make it downloadable $\&$ filled-offline.

(8) We pass-on to the Concerned Institute (once-a-week) the DATABASE created.

(9) Also give them a "Search-Engine" whereby they can search this data in a no. of different "ways" offline in their own office! They can even print labels also.

(10) As far as we are concerned, we simply "extract" data relevant

$5/5$

to us $\&$ migrate it to our MODULE $\&$ (NON-MEMBER DATABASE).

This would help us in offline "headhunting".

The Institute benefits $\&$ we too benefit!

Order Execution Process

See enclosed flow-chart as perceived by me.

# 1 Reality may be different

# 2 What you "ideally" want to happen may be still different.

CMT/Michelle/AMB should get together and draw-up # 1 as well # 2.

All the processes which can be "automated" must be automated.

Two such processes which needs to be automated immediately are:

(A) = Sending "Terms" to every corporate who posts job advt on our website

$\underline{\text{CMT}, \text{ I believe, has started doing this - of course, manually)}}$

$2/4$

(B) Forwarding "resumes" to job-advertisers as per instructions of candidates.

In my mind, (B) is far more important than (A).

Only if (B) takes place promptly/regularly for all "Candidate-Instructions" received during the course of the day, will the job-advertiser get to know that

  • 3p website gets visited by many jobseekers daily
  • His own job-advt. gets seen by many jobseekers daily
  • His job-advt. did actually get "pushed" to thousands of jobseekers as a "job-alert"
  • Many job-seekers have shown interest in his advt and expressed their interest in applying against his job.

All of the above-mentioned "Impressions" will get created

$3/4$

ONLY - and only - if the job-advertiser promptly starts receiving RESUMES from 3P.

If he starts getting resumes within a few hours (of posting the job-advt) his confidence in the "efficacy" of our website will go up dramatically.

If he gets an impression that 3P website cares and does - work to his advantage, he will be tempted to comeback and post more advts - again $\&$ again.

On the other hand, if he receives no resumes for days together, after posting his job-advt, then his thoughts will run like,

"3P is a useless site. Apply apply no reply! Seems like no candidate ever visits this site - and the few who may visit, do not seem to get a chance to see "my" advt. $\&$ respond.

Even if posting an advt. is free on 3P, What is the use! - if there is no response. It would be much better for me to next time post my job-advt on

$4/4$

other websites like Naukri/jobsahead/jobstreet/jobsdb/prizedjob etc. etc.

What if these other websites charge me Rs. 500/- to post my advt. It is peanuts! On the other hand I directly receive all candidate-response, immediately, without anyone coming in the way.

Here, in case of 3P, unless they pass-on the resumes of interested candidates, I have no clue, how many are interested $\&$ who are interested.

So let me forget about 3P!"

Such thinking on part of advertiser could spell the death of our "Business-Model"!

So we must automate these "processes" - and do so FAST.

Vinod will do this under guidance from CMT $\&$ Mustafa (VXceed).

cc: Mustafa (VXceed) Pl. instruct Vinod how to go about.

Automating our Business Processes

Enclosed find

  • Broad division (grouping) of our Business-Processes Page A/B/C/D
  • Business Processes/Activities to be "automated" thru appropriate SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS Pages marked $1 \rightarrow 12$.

(Whether Web-based - online or LAN-based - offline)

In addition to these (pages), I have already handed-over to Cyril/Mustafa a comprehensive folder containing a "wish-list" of new features (feature modifications of our website).

To discuss this "wish-list", I already had one round of meeting with Mustafa (VXceed) and more meetings are planned next week, at the end of which, Mustafa will prepare following documents for our study (approval):

# 1 Functional Specifications

# 2 System Requirement

Some of the thoughts expressed in enclosed pages (A/B/C/D $\&$ $1 \rightarrow 12$) are already covered in the WISH-LIST folder given to Mustafa.

Two web-development/Software development engineers are joining us soon. One on $12^{\text{th}} \&$ one on $19^{\text{th}}$ March. We want them to work on some of the "projects" listed in Pages $1 \rightarrow 12$.

But

  • all softwares, ultimately get closely interlinked with each other
  • all business-processes are gradually moving onto the web,

we have to ensure that there is absolutely perfect "integration" of thoughts $\&$ actions between our own people and the "project team" of Mustafa.

One way to achieve this perfect integration is ask our developers to become part of Mustafa's team $\&$ work under his overall guidance/direction. May be even physically shift to VXceed office. Let us discuss this fast.

Some part of this will get addressed with implementation of Order Execution Module, which sets "Targets" for completing certain order-execution activities by specific "dates". This may cover only the "consultants". We need to cover most of our employees in this EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY MODULE, by - defining their jobs (job-descriptions) - setting "Achievement Targets" - monitoring actual achievements (with targets), every day/week/month. This process must be automated

  • Templates for Creating Partner Websites

one reason why our partner website program is not taking "roots" is because website owners do not have "skills" to create templates $\&$ "merge the links".

Whereas Mustafa will examine the entire partner website program "simplification" (along the lines of Amazon.com), Vinod should target to create "templates" for 20 websites in the next 10 days $\&$ link-up with 3pjobs.

  • Website Maintenance

simple maintenance such as

  • deletion of job-advts
  • deletion of resumes
  • uploading of simple HTML pages
  • Creation of hyperlinks

etc. shall be taken over by Vinod/Sanjav, after learning the tricks from Pritam.

This listing will cover all job-advts, whether

  • Type (A) - posted directly by Corporates
  • "(B) - picked-up from media $\&$ uploaded by us
  • "(C) - 3P Hot Jobs.

Tabulation will have following columns:

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

  • Today we are maintaining our accounts on "TELLY 5.0" package.
  • A couple of "CUSTOMER OUTSTANDING" statements are planned under "Order Execution System" being developed by APPLITECH.
  • We have no system of budgetting of various expenses, at the beginning of the financial year, under detailed "expense-heads / expense-accounts".
  • expenses actually incurred are not linked / debited to persons / departments / branches incurring those expenses.
  • Since there is no "budget", there are no "variances" either - and therefore no "Control-mechanism" thru monthly "Budget Vs. Actual" statements flashed to individuals responsible for incurring / controlling those expenses.
  • Since there are no "expense" or "Income" budgets, there are no "Cash Inflow / Cash Outflow" budgets (& actuals) & therefore no "PROFIT-PLANS"!
  • We need to discard the standalone "TELLY 5.0" & evolve an accounting / financial management package which is integrated with - Budget Module - Order execution module (of APPLITECH) - COSTING & PRICING MODULE (See my note dt 7-4-94)

(Sunita will put this note on LAN by tomorrow)

ATTENDANCE RECORDING SYSTEM (ARS)

  • Although we do have an ARS (is it integrated with Salary Calculation & Payment System?), it does not produce monthly statements (employee-wise & total Summary for all employees) which are
    • Simple tabulations or graphs
    • easy to "comprehend" the meaning
    • separate the "authorised" leave from "Unauthorised" leave/absence
    • separate "Paid" from "Unpaid" absence
  • (Some tabulation was recently prepared by MONICA)
    • Early arrival / Late departure (extra hours)
    • Late arrival / early departure (short hours)
  • This system needs to be looked into & automated.

Our "SITE RANK"

  • Currently, once-a-month, I spend a couple of hours on different "Search-Engines" to compile our "Site Rank" on various "Key-Words" & prepare a tabulation.
  • I feel this process can be / should be automated by developing suitable Software or buying/installing some ready-made software.
  • Once "Site-Rank" is compiled on different "keywords", the Software should tabulate only those results, where our site gets ranked among the TOP FIVE (no matter, using whichever search-engine).
  • This html page should get uploaded on our website.
  • If automated such "uploading" can be done every week - instead of once-a-month.
  • In the past, I had even plotted "our Rank" Graphs continuously for 6/8 months. This was a time-consuming manual process.

Business-Process / Activity to be automated than Software

  • ADMISSION - APPLICATION MODULE
  • Over a period of time (say by Sept. 2002) we would like to extend our strategic-alliances with colleges & Computer Edu. Institutions by offering to them a WEB-BASED ADMISSION PROCESS (similar to centralised admissions to IITs)
  • This will permit 12th standard students from all over India to fill-up an online Admission Application form just ONCE and priority-wise click on the colleges & courses of his choice.
  • ALL participating colleges/NACT members will make available their prospectus (No. of seats etc.) to us which will be displayed on our website.

Advantages

  • Students (and parents) do not have to Search/Research thousands of colleges & collect hundreds of "prospectus" & fill-in dozens of "Application-forms" and deposit "fees" at each college & send out "Refund Fee Requests" etc. etc.
  • I am envisaging a ONE SHOT all-India admission-process with built-in ONLINE ENTRANCE TEST (common) / Certification.
  • THIS IS THE MOST CHALLENGING ASSIGNMENT!

Business-Process / Activity to be automated thru Software

  • Creation of a "Manpower Planning Module" for a typical mfg. enterprise & then integrating this into our website.
  • Corporates can create their "Manpower Plan/Manpower Budget" directly on our website & delete / edit same.
  • Based on such a "Manpower Plan" (and of course man-specifications / job-descriptions for each vacancy envisaged in such a plan), our website will
    • broadcast the requirements to potential / suitable candidates
    • ascertain their suitability / interest
    • short list & forward resumes to our Corporate Members 2/3 months before vacancy has to be filled
  • integrate with Order Execution module

    • PART B Tracking of Correspondence
  • This is very time-consuming but it must be done. If not, we will get embarrassed by sending same proposal to same party again & again!
  • Besides what would the party think of us (especially if they have replied saying "we are not interested").
  • This process (of tracking all correspondence with the parties - email / fax / letter) must be automated FAST.

  • As I have repeatedly stressed, we desperately need more corporates to post their job-advts on our website. Then only will jobseekers visit our website - and hopefully deposit their resumes.
  • Towards this (getting more job-advts) we have taken / planning to take following steps:
    • Approx 1000 NACT/3P brochures were sent out to Software Companies with a coversive letter HOME DELIVERY.
    • Some 200 have bounced.
    • "24X365 Service" Mailers
    • Some 12000 of these have
  • been despatched to Public Ltd Companies by snail-mail.
  • Some 2000 are being sent by e-mail.
  • Enclosed mailer "In VAIN?"
  • This will be sent out (on an ongoing basis) to Corporates advertising their jobs in ASCENT / HEADSTART / AVENUES / APPOINTMENTS etc.
  • When Sent as Snail-mail, a cutting of the concerned job-advt. will also be enclosed. This will be avoided if sent as an email.
  • Sunita V is organising to order the necessary newspapers and will be responsible for this (mini mass-mailing. Pl. Send me your comments, if any, on enclosed draft.
  • Broadcasting of Job Advts
  • Whatever IT-related job-advts are getting posted on our jobsite daily, will be forwarded to
    • Robin (for colleges)
    • Sanjeev (for Cybercafes)
    • Chaitali (for Computer-Edu. Institutions) by Sheetal.
  • While forwarding, Sheetal will remove all info pertaining to the advertiser.
  • Robin/Sanjeev/Chaitali will prepare databases of Colleges / Cybercafes & Comp. Edu. Institutions respectively and
  • broadcast (push thru email) these job-advts to the Principals / Managers / Owners
  • requesting them to display hard-copies on their notice-boards, along with our email message,
  • Our message urges the students / surfers (in case of Cybercafes) to
    • Submit their resumes on our site
  • then
    • Instruct us to forward their resumes to XYZ / ABC Advt. No. which they have seen on their notice-boards.
  • By this BROADCASTING of job-advts to hundreds of Colleges / Comp. Edu. Institutions / Cybercafes ("PUSH TECHNOLOGY")
  • we are trying to "provide a reason / an excuse" to the jobseekers (active or passive) to submit their resume on our website.
  • We are going by the belief that only a CONCRETE JOB-ADVT visible on the notice-board can "prompt / propel a student to go to the nearest cybercafe & submit his resume!"
  • Whenever, any one of you is sending any letter / proposal to any Corporate (whether client or not), you should automatically enclose, the circular "In VAIN?"
  • At the bottom, pl. Substitute my name, with your name & sign it before despatching.
  • If anyone has any other suggestion, please do let me know.

Dear Sir/Madam,

In VAIN?

Have you ever struggled in VAIN to fill-up an urgent vacancy in your Organisation?

( VAIN = Vacancy Advertisement in Newspapers )

If so switch-over to WARP and never look back to the $20^{th}$ Century!

( WARP = Web Actuated Recruitment Process )

To find out how you could

$\text{fill-up your future vacancies fast / real fast}$

$\text{save lakhs of rupees in the process,}$

please study the comparison on reverse.

But do not take my word for granted (- after all I am an interested party!)

Go ahead and post a job-advt on www.3pjobs.com to-day and discover the difference for yourself.

With our "Candidate Alert" genie at your service round-the-clock, there is no need for you to struggle in vain!

With regards,

Sunita V. 25/01/01

Consider sending following email to Julian Kulkarni of https://www.google.com/search?q=ActiveRecruiter.com

Dear Julian

$$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \text{I have already sent you my response} \\ \text{to your clarifications} \\ \text{or} \\ \text{Thank you for your clarifications. I} \\ \text{have following comments:} \end{array} \right.$$

While we are in the process of finalizing our MOU, I wonder if we could immediately start promoting the requirements of your Corporate-clients amongst the executives who are registered on our website. A quick & simple method would be, either

for you or your clients to post their job-advts on our website. Through our "Job Alert" feature, these (job-advts) would get "broadcast" to all matching candidates automatically - and daily also to new arrivals - daily.

I would appreciate your early response

Great organisations are built on DISCIPLINE / DEVOTION / DEDICATION (3D).

We cannot build 3P into a great (even if small) organisation, unless we strictly adhere to 3D! - and the first place to start with is DISCIPLINE (of before-time arrival)

I hope February 2001, will mark the beginning of a new attitude on part of all of us. In the meantime, I am requesting Reena to make a "Screen-saver" of this tabulation and install it on our LAN, as a constant reminder to all of us.

Let us begin the new millennium with a new sense of purpose.

  • Primary responsibility for implementation of OES is yours. Therefore, you must study all OES related documents & be ready with your questions (if any) on Thursday. A few days back, Anagha had sent an email to Neeraj Rathi of Applitech. I have asked Sunita to forward it to you also.
  • In OES, there are 20+ input screens. Have you figured out which screen has to be entered by whom? Unless, you figure this out - and fix responsibilities of each & every of our staff member in advance, everybody will think, someone else will take care! - with no one taking care!!
  • Not only - you should fix this responsibility in writing but you should also monitor it.

  • The goal of all of our Partner Programs is to get a hell-of-a-lot of resumes on our website. This is the (desired) end.
  • Signing-up of partners (Getting their consent-letters & uploading on our website & sending charters etc) is merely a MEANS (to an END)
  • And "means" have no independent existence! "means" exist only if the "ends" are achieved - being achieved.
  • Therefore, even as you are trying to sign-up a lot of "partners", you must not lose track of your ultimate objective i.e. to get that partner to send-in a lot of resumes. Unproductive partnerships must be "pulled-up" by vigorous follow-up - and terminated, if "ends" are not met.

Looking at you

(Newspaper/Magazine article about a video conferencing product called "CU-SeeMe".)

NOW that everyone in industry is talking about cost-cutting, and everyone in general is talking about education, here's a technology that can help in both. While videoconferencing has been around for a while now, this new product is on the mark with online, real-time connections.

Take a look at some of the diverse users the product already has...

  • The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is using it on the museum floor environment, as a staff-training tool and as an educational outreach device.
  • The Global SchoolNet Foundation has been designing collaborative projects using it.
  • The University of Chicago, Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics uses it to send real-time star images back for focusing and monitoring the atmosphere.
  • Libraries in Costa Rica link with schools in San Francisco using it.
  • Classrooms without walls: an educational forum, videoconferences live with the students in Dublin and Neyagawa, Japan.

The product is aptly named CU-SeeMe, and it is an entire net-working suite. The package consists of a conference server as well as the software. The product is effective on desktops, and data sharing is possible between remote locations. This voice and video communications solution is available in India through Leading Edge Marketing Services, who are based in Bangalore.

Pradeep Ullal, managing director of LEMS, says, "The agreement with CU-SeeMe gives us an opportunity to leverage their technology leadership into our current and prospective customer base."

A demo centre has been set up at the LEMS office in Bangalore and they plan to demo the product in other cities in future. For more information, contact LEMS at lems@vsnl.com or visit www.cuseeme.com.

Draft of email/fax to be sent to members of Foster Partners Network

Dear Mr ____________ / Ms ____________ (Individually)

Exploring Opportunities

  • Although we have been a member of FOSTER PARTNERS GLOBAL NETWORK for over 4 years now, we had no opportunity to work together on any executive-search assignment.
  • But we would like to explore such opportunities - especially if any of your Corporate-clients need skilled/competent SOFTWARE / IT - PROFESSIONALS.
  • There is a considerable demand of Indian IT professionals all over the World. USA alone absorbs some 60,000 Indian IT-professionals every year.
  • Enclosed tabulation
  • Attachment to this mail gives some idea of the demand of Indian IT professionals from some countries.

we are in a unique position to search / select / recommend IT-professionals against the requirement of your Corporate-clients.

To know why, I request you to click on

Preferred Placement Agency (NACT)

link on the homepage of our website www.3pjobs.com.

  • Besides our strategic alliance with NACT (which annually enrolls over 1.2 million IT-professionals to various courses), we have also tied-up with, another major Indian Software Education major, NIIT Ltd.
  • which annually enrolls 300,000 IT-students to various courses.
  • I attach a Synopsis of a 2 year fulltime "e-commerce" course offered by NIIT one of the Institutes!

You can let us know

If your Corporate-clients have

requirements, we could initiate $\text{Sourcing}$ action on the same as follows:

  • Your client can directly post a job-advt on our website, note down "Job-Advt No" allotted online and pass-on to you. In turn you pass-on this job-advt. no. to us, so that we may keep you informed of the progress of the assignment.
  • In case of selecting/appointing a candidate thru this method, your Corporate-client will need to pay us _______________
  • Upon receipt of our payment, we will pass-on you to you, your "referral" fees as per Foster Partners practice.
  • You may yourself post a job-advt. on our website, on behalf of your client, but mentioning your name as the "advertiser". In this case, all our communications will be with you only. Even

the "Candidate Alert" emails will be sent on your email address.

Ofcourse, our professional fees and your own referral fees will remain the same as mentioned above.

  • If neither you nor your client wants to post a job-advt on our website on your own, you could send us your client's requirements (as per "job-advt. form") by email and we will upload it on the website from our end.

Awaiting your early response and with best regards,

Nirmit Parekh

Attachment:

  • 2 year "E-commerce" course details
  • IT-Professionals requirements.

AMB / Reena

I am told, yesterday, we ran out of Cartridge & label-printing had to stop.

About 6 weeks back, I explained to you in detail about

  • Annual Consumption (Qty & value)
  • A-B-C Analysis
  • Min / Max / Alarm levels
  • Reorder level
  • Bin Card (Computer-based)
  • P.O. entry & lot. to be delivered etc. etc.

If you had implemented this system in last 6 weeks, we could have avoided this "surprise".

If you need any clarification / guidance, pl. talk to AMB or me.

Let us learn from this experience so that such a situation never arises again as far as any "Consumable" is concerned.

(Memo: Performance Targets)

Sanjeev

Robin

Saturday Jan. 13, 2001

Performance Targets

Some 10 days back it was decided that both of you will draw-up your monthly  performance targets and give me before 15$^\text{th}$ inst.

I look forward to receive these (targets)

on Monday morning when, we will freeze these after discussion.

Please use enclosed chart (make extra

copies before filling-in) for the purpose As you would have noticed, there

are 3 criteria viz:

  1. Proposals sent out
  2. Agreements signed
  3. Resumes received

The ultimate objective is to get resumes. The primary performance criteria.

Sending out proposals & Signing-up of Agreements are merely steps/activities

 

(Performance Context & Correlation)

leading upto the final result

Viz: How many resumes did we get?

Of course, you need to take these steps/ engage into these activities, in order to

reach the final step / the ultimate goal of getting a large no. of resumes.

There is bound to be a distinct

correlation between

how many proposals you sent out

$\downarrow$

how many agreements you signed

$\downarrow$

how many resumes you received

Statistically speaking,

Larger no. of Proposals Larger no. of Agreements Larger no. & resumes But this is not an escalator where, once you stand on step #1, you will automatically reach the top!

$\longrightarrow$ without any further effort.

 

 (The "Ladder" Concept)

These activities are more like a ladder, where, you have to put-in a lot of effort to climb-up to the next step.

So there is no question of relaxing! Nothing will ever happen on its own, automatically, just because you send out 10000 proposals signup 1000 agreements

As I said earlier, these steps are "pre-requisites". you have to go thru these.

You will need to visit a lot of Colleges / Cybercafes and convince them across the table.

You will need to demonstrate... You will need to do a lot of "Concept-selling".

You may not need to spend more than 5 days in a month to send out proposals. Rest 20

(Daily Activities and Feedback)

days must be spent VISITING / CONVINCING / COLLECTING CONSENT- LETTERS / UP-LOADING NAMES ON OUR WEBSITE THRU ADMIN TOOL and, most importantly Checking daily / weekly / monthly, how many resumes have actually arrived from each source and Giving fast / prompt "feedback" (mostly over phone / email) on why the response is not good enough and asking College / Cybercafe, what steps it is taking to step-up the flow of resumes and offering whatever help they need from you in this regard.

And giving that help / assistance.

 

(Target Setting and Review)

I suggest at least once-a-day (preferably first thing every morning) you meet me for 10 minutes to review your daily performance review your "plans" for the day While fixing your targets, please clearly write down How many colleges / cybercafes

there are in

  • Mumbai
  • Country

} Size of Market?

What "share" (%) of this market you plan to capture by year-end (and month by month).

How many students study in all of these colleges / how many surfers visit all of these cybercafes.

Only such clear / quantitative figures can help you fix your targets.

NEW ECONOMY OPPORTUNITIES AND RISK IN A CHANGING WORLD

SLIM PICKINGS IN CYBERSPACE

You won't make the kind of margins on the internet that thought you would.

Get used to it.

I HATE to be the one to break the news, but you will have to work harder to make a profit on the internet than you do in your brick-and-mortar operations.

What's that, you say? What about the crazy valuations of internet startups like Amazon.com and Yahoo!?

All companies were valued on, among other assumptions, the false belief that the advantages of the internet would lead to far higher margins. I'm talking about after the smoke has cleared from the current Internet gyrations and discombobulations - what economists refer to as a "long-run equilibrium." The perception on Wall Street - and just about everywhere else - about the internet generating more profit per unit of sales is simply wrong. The margins for internet businesses will be lower, consistently lower, than for brick-and-mortar operations.

The reason, though it sounds paradoxical, is that the internet lowers the costs of doing business. Wall Street analysts like to drool over internet startups because they see that virtual storefronts are less expensive to create than the1

real thing: These storefronts do not require real estate, plumbing, showrooms, dre2ssing rooms, heating or air conditioning. Virtual storefronts can be scaled up without having to hire additional employees and build many locations all over the world.

Most analysts have assumed that because companies doing business on the internet have lower costs, this will translate into the ability to generate higher markups and higher margins than their brick-and-mortar counterparts. They often apply gross margins to projected sales figures to determine future profits and investment potential. At one level this seems to make sense. After all, companies that have managed to achieve a cost advantage over the3ir competitors, everything else being equal, do earn higher profits and margins.

But what is true for individual companies is not true for markets consisting of many companies.

To understand this we have to dig a little deeper. Economists consider markets competitive when easy entry

keeps the typical company in the industry earning only normal returns on its investment - in other words, returns just manage enough to cover expenses and market entrants' anticipated

If all the companies in a competitive industry achieve a reduction in costs, then sooner, often on the initial temporary ride, will return to normal when new capacity and new entrants suck up any excess profits. Memory chip manufacturers, for instance, constantly have falling costs, but new investment in fabrication plants at every uptick in profits eventually pushes profits back to the level that flat-

by automobiles. This may take a while, but eventually the industry would consist only of internet booksellers, and their margins would be lower tha6n was the case for the previous generation of booksellers since their costs, investments and what-added per dollar of sales were lower.

Far more likely, in my opinion, is a scenario where

some consumers prefer to buy online and others prefer to buy in brick and mortar stores, just as some consumers prefer shopping by mail order and others by traversing shopping malls. Competition is then within the internet sector - i.e., between companies in that segment, just as convenience stores largely compete with other convenience stores and supermarkets with other supermarkets. Assuming that each

Even if the level of competition within internet industries is equal to that of their BRICK-AND-MORTAR counterparts, the typical INTERNET COMPANY will earn lower margins.

long in their ivory towers? Because there is overwhelming evidence to support many of its implications, including the one that countries with lower costs per dollar of sales also have lower margins.

My point is that even if the level of competition within Internet industries is equal to that of their12 brick-and-mortar counterparts, the typical internet company will earn lower margins or sales because it will have lower costs.

Grocery chains, for example, are famous for their low margins, only pennies on the dollar. They often trumpet this fact to demonstrate how competitive their market is. But these same chains have tried to go to war with extra competitiveness of the grocery industry. They are due instead.

to the low value added per dollar of sales. (Restaurants have lower margins than grocers, even though the restaurant business is just as competitive, because chefs add so much value to the groceries). The grocery business is the final distribution stage of the food industry, after most of the price has already been added. Low-wage clerks scan the price into a computer and grocery carts are pushed to the checkout. Since the value added by the supermarket is very small, relatively to the price of most of the items, those company products that sell to them end up very small.

More generally, in competitive markets, if companies in industry A have a smaller inventive relative to those than industry B, then the margin on sales will be smaller in

industry A.

My research brings us to the denouement of this little story.

If internet retailers have lower costs than brick-and-mortar retailers, there are two possible long-term scenarios. One of them is that the internet will have lower margins than brick-and-mortar companies.

The other possibility is that the internet will find brick-and-mortar companies and net companies to be perfect substitutes for one another. So, for example, consumers might be completely indifferent about whether to buy a book online or in a physical store. As a result, all the brick-and-mortar booksellers will be driven out of business by the more efficient internet sellers, just as horses and buggies were driven out of business market is competitive, every drop of excess profit will be squeezed out of the market for the typical company, but since the investment per dollar of sales is lower for internet companies, so too is their average margin on sales.

This is not to say that some internet retailers will not have higher margins than others. Those that lower their costs below those of other companies in their industry or that find a niche that's difficult for other companies to replicate to exploit will earn above-normal returns, just as superior brick-and-mortar companies earn above normal returns.

The lesson, when comparing average profits: use lower margins for internet businesses if lower costs are a benefit of the internet model. Don't get suckered by the claims to the contrary. Otherwise, you will overpay if you are purchasing an internet stock or business, or you might overestimate the benefit to your bottom line if your internet business is developed in-house.

 (Memo: UNIX to NT Server Transfer)

Fax:

Cyril

12/5/01

Website V 4.0

Last few days, Harshad is trying to transfer "Computer Edu. Institutes" database from UNIX Server to NT Server.

Unfortunately he does not have the "password" to access the Unix server.

It seems no one else also has this password! Harshad has asked Nirmit to email the Service provider to make available the password.

Whereas, I hope, this problem will get solved in the next 2/3 days,

a more fundamental question is:

  • It is nearly 1 year that we switched

over to NT server (May 2000). Since

then we have relaunched the website

twice

  • In - Oct. 2000
  • on 1$^\text{st}$ May 2001

So, why continue these few databases

still on UNIX Server?

(Memo: Server Transfer Reasons and Databases)

Is there any particular reason to do so?

If not, I would request you to transfer these to NT server during V 4.0 exercise/relaunch and shut down UNIX services altogether.

As far as "Computer Edu. Institute" database is concerned, the same can be "deleted" from UNIX within next 2/3 days, as soon as it gets transferred to NT.

This will still leave, on UNIX, the following databases, requiring "transfer":

#1 Compensation Comparison (OLD – data compiled 2/3 years ago from 900 Annual Reports) If possible, while transferring, we should "merge" this database with the new database - compilation of which is a dynamic / ongoing / automatic process by picking up relevant data from Resume forms.

(Memo: Databases to Transfer and Feature 1)

#2 Educational Institutes

#3 Labour Laws

#4 Statutory Returns

#5 Statistics of India

#6 Industry Vs. Company Vs. Product (Triangle)

Earlier, I have already asked Mustafa / Harshad to delet "Incentives offered by States". Last week, during our telecon, I have already requested you following features in  Connection with these databases:

FEATURE 1

We would ask for a REGISTRATION for viewing these databases. It would be

  • Name of the person [ ] [ ]
  • city [ ]
  • e-mail address. [ ]

SUBMIT

 (Memo: Registration Follow-up)

I suppose, upon getting this info, our Server will generate and email to the

visitor,

User Name [ ]

Password [ ]

which he would need to enter, if he wants to "access" these databases.

But, If an individual person is already our "Member" (having submitted his resume on our website), then he need not "Register" again. He should be able to use these services, using Username / Password already allotted to him earlier If a Corporate has already obtained his "Corporate Key" (by posting its job-advt earlier), then what do we do in such a case?

It does not look nice to ask him to "Register" for this service!

(Memo: Feature 2 - Partial Access)

FEATURE 2

we must arouse the curiosity of the visitor so that he feels compelled to "Register" for this service.

This could be done by Allowing him "partial / incomplete" access When a visitor (who has not registered first), enters "Search- Parameters" for accessing any of these databases, the display-table will show only 4 / 5 "records" with following message:

Dear Visitor:

To be able to view the entire content (all the "records" against your query), please register yourself by filling in | Your Name: | Last Name | First Name |

| city | : | [ ] |

| e-mail Add: | [ ] | SUBMIT |

You will receive your Username / Password by

email within 24 hours, which you can use for this service.

(Memo: Feature 2 Alternative and Closing)

Display of some STATIC PAGE of SAMPLE-RECORDS (Examples of what you can get to see, if you "Register" for this service, by filling-in following form | Table as in earlier page |

Kindly incorporate, whatever you consider to be the better feature, in V 4.0.

Cyril

13/5/01

Version 4.0

In V 3.0 we added a feature whereby compensation / salary data is picked-up from all "new" resumes being posted on our website and "added" to Comp. Com database.

We have provided (in Comp. Com) following links:

  • Compensation Comparison - IT Professionals
  • Compensation Comparison - NON-IT "

In both these cases, the Search-parameters

are

#1 - Industry [Dropdown] $\bigg\}$ relevant to IT or

#2 - Function [Dropdown] $\bigg\}$ Non-IT, as the

$\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad$ case may be

#3 - Designation

  • Actual (free text) In case of IT
  • Level (" ") " " NON-IT

These are also the VERY SAME fields which are (mandatorily) required to be filled in the respective

"POST JOB ADVT" Forms

(See attached Comparison).

 (Memo: Value Added Service)

(2/3)

This throws-up the possibility of offering (to a Personnel Manager) a VALUE ADDED SERVICE / FUNCTION.

In the "Post Job Advt" form, the moment he fills-up these mandatory fields (Ind (Function) Desig (Act) or (Level)), we can flash following message:

Dear Recruiter:

optional, we should accept the search,

as long as

(1) Industry is Mandatory

(2) "Either 'Function' or 'Desig' is entered."

(i.e. one of these MUST be entered).

Dear Mr. Tipnis

Interactive TV

I refer to our telecom 3/4 days back

re: Interactive TV.

In this connection, I enclose p. 112 of

PC WORLD magazine issue of April 2001.

If you desire, I can fax you the entire article.

I draw your attention to following para:

"TVs that accept internet packets shouldn't be too long in arriving.

A net-enabled TV will add a participatory dimension to what is now, a very passive experience.

You'll be able to take action on something you're interested in, on the spot, by clicking on some place in the image... TVs will be more flexible, because you'll have more

than one avenue for interacting with it."

We also talked about this (concept) when I first met you 2/3 months ago.

 (Memo: Interactive TV Interactivity - Page 2/5)

2/5

At that time, after seeing the demo of your interactive TV, I had suggested following interactivity:

A surfer submits his resume on our website, using interactive TV and obtains

  • Username
  • Password
  • Permanent Executive No.

} All of these linked to his "resume".

When he conducts online "job-search" on our website, he shortlists, several job-advt which are of interest to him, and against which he would like to "apply" (i.e. forward his resume)

He selects the job-advts by clicking (with his remote?)

on the select boxes [Checkbox drawing]

Our Server forwards his resume (along with a covering message) to all those advertisers.

At present he has to enter his "Username / Password" in a form (so, server knows, whose resume to forward)

 (Memo: Interactive TV Bypass & Market Data - Page 3/5)

But

If a way can be found to bypass this step, then he does not even have to use the keyboard!

Considering that

There are nearly 42 million persons registered with 914 employment exchanges in the country Altogether, may be 100 million Indians are either looking for their first job or for a job-change There are nearly 30 million Cable TV homes, served by approx 30,000 cable operators There are 20 million phone-lines Perhaps 5 TVs are sold in India for every 1 PC.

An interactive TV may cost, 40% less than a PC Most Indians have no use for a home PC, other than for surfing...

 (Memo: Interactive TV Rationale and Application - Page 4/5)

Securing a job is fundamental to ROTI - KAPADA – MAKAN (- stuff that dreams are made of!)

not to leave-out, a MARRIAGE PROPOSITION (- especially in Indian context) A person cannot subscribe to dozens of newspapers & magazines and spend 8 hours / day, searching for suitable job-advts On our website, we have drawn-up plans to "aggregate" & then "broadcast" thousands of job-advts.

Videocon need an absolutely "KILLER APPLICATION" to be bundled with its interactive TV, and which, an interactive job-search / resume-blasting service can provide, In light of the foregoing, I feel we should give a serious thought to this subject. If you authorise

the necessary budget, I am sure,

(Article Extract: "Digital Divisions")

will resemble the spartan content of Wireless Application Protocol sites. Nevertheless, the next generation WAP interface should include a few more graphical elements. And when voice-recognition technology improves, it is likely to prove extremely popular in the wireless market.

WEB TRENDS On the larger screen of a PC, the graphical interface will offer a much richer user experience. High-speed connections will allow real-time, full-screen video-conferencing to replace telephone calls, and we'll enjoy better visual perspective through three-dimensional environments. Chat room participants will use avatars in 3-D worlds, as if each were a character in a multiplayer, multimedia role-playing game like EverQuest.

Video is already making headway on the Web, and that trend will certainly continue. The Web lets you get your news in any form you like. Thus, you can combine a quick virtual summary of a story with in-depth text analysis and background audio.

Though the Net can replace television, anytime soon, TVs that accept internet packets shouldn't be too long in arriving. A Net-enabled TV will add a participatory dimension to what is now a very passive experience. You'll be able to take action on something you're interested in on the spot, by clicking on some place in the image.... TVs will be more flexible, because you'll have more than one avenue for interacting with it.

Before you can do the jobs of TV, radio, and other media, the Net must get fatter. Tognazzini explains: "Broadband today is not broad, it's narrow. It's not up to the task for that kind of traffic." We'll need hundreds of megabits per second to transmit HDTV-quality video to billions of homes. But such transfer rates are not unheard of. Tognazzini says at Sun he worked on a video project of a computer that will need a terabit-per-second data rates. Even now, in limited areas, Cogent Communications (cogentco.com) offers 100-Mbps access over fiber-optic lines for $99$ a month. As prices decrease and the fiber-optic network grows, that level of speed should become more widespread.

THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

(digitaldivide network @dfdn.org) Funded by the Benton Foundation, the Digital Divide project brings together the latest studies on the digital divide, publishes features about people connecting to the Internet, and includes a list of resources so you can get involved.

Trend FIVE OVER THE PAST decade, the technological chasm in the Web, while large, has not, as critics often feared, grown to even larger proportions. This digital divide has received considerable attention in the past few years. Outreach programs sprang up, and Bill Gates's family foundation donated PCs to schools and libraries. The market has stepped in, with free ISPs and cheap PCs that make access affordable to low-income families.

And the efforts seem to be helping. A report published in October 2000 by the U.S. Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) stated that internet access in the home had jumped from $26.2$ percent in 1998 to $41.5$ percent in 2000. More than 46 million U.S. residents have access to the Internet by some means, but others-including people with disabilities - remain unconnected.

Jeffrey Cole, director of UCLA's Center for Communication Policy, identifies two types of divide: one involving access to the Internet, and the other involving the ability to use what is there. "If you look at the first divide-people to go online - it's pretty disturbing," Cole says. "It's white, male, upper-class, and highly educated. But if you look at the last million people, it's very encouraging: more black and Latino, more female, more lower- and middle-class. So I think

Digital Divisions through free ISPs and low-cost computers, the 'access-to-technology' digital divide is going away."

But knowing how to use the Web is another issue. "Some affluent and educated people haven't had a better sense of what to do with information, how to search for it, and how to use it," Cole says. "So we have to do more than just wire everyone for access; we have to help people learn how to use this to enhance their lives."

Cerf expects the access gap to widen briefly as we move into the next stage of the Internet. "When you have extremely rapid introduction of technology, it's going to go to the sector that can spend money first," Cerf says. "So these terrible modern digital divides will look like they've opened up like the San Andreas Fault."

Cerf believes the market will eventually close the access divide. Still, that won't necessarily solve the gap in people's ability to use the Internet. Cerf thinks the way to close that divide is to educate children and adults on how to use technology.

The internet of tomorrow will have to overcome its share of problems, and access is sure to be one of them. But even so, the future looks bright. The distinction between online and offline will blur as we dabble in both realms interchangeably and in concert to shop, listen to music, and run software. The Web will become easier to use, too, as we use our voices to navigate smarter Web sites. In five years we may even forget that we're using something called the Internet. It might just be a part of life.

 (Memo: Shopping Baskets and Source/Affiliate ID)

Nirmit / AMB / Venkat / Mitchelle / Abhi / Reena

Shopping Baskets

In (Applitech) Order Execution System, Shopping Baskets are the principal / starting INPUT documents (to fill-up INQUIRY screen).

Every other screen "follows" the "Inquiry" screen.

So, if there is any field missing in an incoming shopping basket, you just cannot proceed with order execution.

Especially you need "Source / Affiliate ID" Number, on the shopping basket form so that, in future, we know from which partner website this shopping basket arrived

  • and therefore WHOM to pay partner- commission of 20%.

Therefore this "Source / Affiliate ID NO" MUST be entered into the INQUIRY SCREEN.

If you come across any shopping-basket with any field "missing", please send an email to Harshad at Vexcel immediately with the concerned shopping

basket as an attachment.

Recently, CHT showed me shopping basket No: 143, where almost all fields were "blank"! It is a mystery as to how the software accepted " such a basket which says "all fields are mandatory" I

have brought this to notice of Harshad.

In a similar fashion, I suppose all "Job Advts" should also carry "Source / Affiliate ID" - although, right now, this is not important because, we have no "payment / commission" for a job-advt.

Resume Web-forms

All of these must carry "Source / Affiliate ID" without fail - whether a resume has come online (from a partner website or our own website)

OR

resume has come "Offline" (from a college / NACT / placement agency etc.) - same reason.

while you are investigating this glitch, you may also ask yourself

"If, in Submit Resume Form - Non IT, there is no field such as Actual Designation,

What purpose does it serve to keep a column for "Actual Designation" in the NEW ARRIVAL tabulation? This column will always be blank!

Should we not change this (column) to

Could there be many more similar examples?

JAWS

Enclosed find a write-up on JAWS, to evaluate feasibility of this idea.

Underlying idea is to become an "Aggregator of Job Advts/Broadcaster of Job Advts/Beneficiary of Job Advts"

There is no one doing this today in India - or perhaps the whole world! It could be a "Killer Application" (or a "damp squib"!).

On internet, it is impossible to predict the outcome of an "experiment"!!

Questions

What would be the cost/time-frame?

Will server take the load?

Let us discuss as soon as possible.

Regards

Supplement to note on "JAWS"

7-4-01

I enclose a news cutting from latest issue of "Express Computer" (9-4-01).

I tried to search this "research" on https://www.google.com/search?q=Careermosaicindia.com but simply could not find any. I wanted more details/see graphs of/get the list of 29 "dailies & magazines". NO dice!

Anyway, I feel if we become a major "AGGREGATOR" of job-advts from all over India, we could generate such "analysis-trends-graphs-charts-tabulations-statistics" etc.

AUTOMATICALLY!

Especially Employer Organisations/Labour Unions/Professional Bodies/HR consultants/Govt. Depts etc. would desperately want to lay their hands on such "statistical Analysis" - especially if it is available ON DEMAND/ANYTIME/FOR ANY PERIOD/FOR ANY INDUSTRY-FUNCTION-CITY-DESIG. LEVEL etc. etc.

So,

Killer App. becomes a Deadly App!

(1)

JAWS

(JOBS Across World Survey)

Q. what is JAWS?

R. Jaws is a compilation of job-aduts appearing in

  • newspapers
  • magazines
  • job-related websites
  • Corporate websites

These will be entered offline and first uploaded on our website thru Admin Tool (Version 3.0 provides).

Thru Admin Tool these job-aduts will get tabulated

Chronologically

Category wise. {IT, Non-IT, Subordinate, Entry-Level}

(2)

These tabulations will be made available to a wide variety of organisations thru email broadcasting, directly from our webserver.

This service will be "free" to the organisations and will be made available to those organisations which request for the same.

Initially, we may "push" these job-adut summaries, even to those who have not specifically requested for the same (e.g: - colleges/Edu. Institutions - Cybercafes etc. etc.)

They can, of course, ask us to "discontinue" the service.

(3)

Q. How will Organisations benefit from this service?

Each set of Organisations, may have some "Unique" use/benefit for such a service!

Some of these benefits are explained in Annex: A [Box]

Q. What will the JAWS tabulation look like?

Like follows:

Advt. No

Date

Position / Vacancy

Ind

Function / Trade / Vocation

Desig. (Actual Level)

Posting City

Salary p.m. / p.yr.

 

Q. If the name of Advertising Company is not revealed in the tabulation, why should organisations request for such a tabulation?

A. Obviously, only those organisations, which desperately need some "info/content" to deliver to their members/visitors/viewers/students etc. will request for this service.

We have to convince them that their members/students/surfers etc. will still benefit "enormously" from such a tabulation even if advertisers' names are "hidden".

In any case this is a "free" service!

To be more "honest" with them, we may, politely tell them "There is no free lunch in the world!"

(5)

Behind providing such a free tabulation of jobs from around the world (which will certainly cost us a small fortune!), our motive is very clear & transparent, viz:

"We want all of their members/students/visitors/surfers etc. to log-into our website, after seeing the tabulation and then

  • Submit resumes
  • apply online
  • receive job-alerts
  • receive interview-call letters

There is no hiding of our motive/intention!

And then, They should be least bothered by what is our motive!

They should concern themselves with "how will my readers/members

(6)

benefit from this?" Because of this tabulation of jobs, will they return to me again & again?

Will I have more traffic/more revenue/more readership/more members joining my organisation?

Will I as an education institute, be discharging my responsibility a little better, by informing the students, where to go/find these jobs and how to apply online?

Will I be fulfilling any social obligation?

(7)

Q. How will Organisations come to know about this free service?

Ans: We will have to send-out mailers (email + snail mail) explaining the entire scheme/how it works and "what is in it" for the organisation concerned.

We will also put-up the whole scheme/service on our website.

We will start with the our existing partners

  • Colleges
  • Cybercafes
  • Websites
  • NACT members

(8)

Q. How will Organisations "apply" for this service?

Ans: They can apply online or send us an email (offline) giving following info:

Name of Organisation

Address

Phone/fax/email

Contact Person's Name

Nature of organisation (Business Activity)

Whether already a partner of 3P under various ALLIANCE PROGRAMS.

(9)

Q. How will an Organisation "Choose/select" what job-advt. summary it would like to receive?

Ans: Ideally (in long term?), we should give an organisation to choose only those job-advts which cover

a particular "Industry"

a "Function" (or "Trade/Vocation")

a particular "Designation-level"

a "City of Posting"

(Thru online ADMIN-TOOL)

Initially to simplify matters & get started quickly, we may restrict the choice to only ONE of the following options IT-related Job Advt [Circle]

Non-IT " [Circle]

Subordinate staff Job-Advt [Circle]

Entry Level " [Circle]

He should be able to select "online"

(10)

Once "chosen/selected", he cannot change for next 24 hours.

He can always select a different category after 24 hours.

Ideally we should also give him a choice to select

Last (25) job advts (received chronologically)

" (50) " "

" (100) " "

If there are no "additions", same advts. will repeat

Or, the option could be

Advts. received during last (1) day

" " " (3) "

" " " (7) "

(11)

A Very Important Consideration

Especially newspapers should be allowed to "edit" & "delete" any/some advts. from the summary-tabulation before printing.

They may not have enough space to print all jobs.

All tabulations (after every $5^{th}$/$10^{th}$ job-listing) will carry following message

To apply online, log into www.3pjobs.com $\rightarrow$

6) Employment Exchanges

To provide a "level-playing field" to country-cousins, by making available to them job-opportunities available in big cities - something that local newspapers never provide.

  1. Corporate/Company

To discharge your moral responsibility to employees being retrenched/being offered VRS, by making available to them job-opportunities in other Companies which need their skills/experience.

ADMIN TOOL

See enclosed analysis of our ADMIN TOOL...

I have regrouped the items into two columns, A & B.

With help of Harshad (if required), please break-up existing ADMIN TOOL, into Two separate ADMIN TOOLS.

"ADMIN TOOL-B"

This will contain items listed in Column B and the password to this section will be made available to all CONSULTANTS. They are going to use this section only.

"ADMIN TOOL-A"

This will contain items covered by Column A and the password to this section will be restricted to HGP/Saleem and Abhi only.

Of course HGP/Saleem/Abhi will also have password of section B.

A few days back, Venkat spoke of an ADMIN TOOL meant for CONSULTANTS. He has to design the SCREENS and their me.

It is when these Screens are developed, the same will fall under ADMIN-TOOL B.

Balance Work

On Monday, July 2, when we met you/Cmt. in your office, it was agreed that you will complete the balance-work C List A given to you) by Saturday, July 7th. When I again phoned you on Thursday ($5^{th}$), you re-confirmed this.

I had also pointed out the question of changing old UNIX title-bars on databases,

to new NT title-bars as shown below:

For the sake of uniformity...

It was also decided (quite long time back) that Names/Addresses of some 2500 Compu. Edu. Institutions will be transferred to new NT database (so that, at least Institutions can be searched by "City Names") - and thereafter the old (UNIX) database & search engine will be deleted.

All of the work is still pending and the 6 month warranty-period CANNOT start till this is finished. Pl. expedite.

Dear Surendra:

June 8, 2001

At the outset please accept my apologies for not having responded earlier to your email of May 16.

The Offline Resume Entry CD was giving some problems and I got busy with our Software guys to sort these out. By now Some 24 placement agencies have signed-up and they are all pressing me to deliver the CD - which, I now hope to do before the end of next week.

Whereas I welcome your suggestion to

make our relationship, a "two-way-traffic"

enhance our "strike-rate",

please allow me to explain our business-model, as far as "strategic alliances" are concerned.

We have forged following types of "Alliances":

Alliances to bring-in "business"

The central idea behind these alliances is to leverage the Concerned partner's ability to bring-in more executive-search assignments (the purchase orders).

2/5

Under this, we have covered

  • Partner Websites (who get 20% commission)
  • Foster Partners [who get 15% commission on first referral, 5% on second, NIL subsequently]
  • Global Network (S.P. associates around the world)

As it is, from our own website (www.3pjobs.com), we receive more executive-search assignments (online "resume-search" translated into online "shopping Baskets") than we could comfortably handle!

Add to these, the OFFLINE executive-search assignments that we receive daily over phone/fax/email etc.

In light of the foregoing, our main "concern" has been (and still is), to get many more resumes of Competent executives.

Towards this, we have forged,

Alliances to bring-in "resumes"

Under these, we have covered,

  • Placement Agencies (30% commission)
  • Colleges (20% ")
  • Computer Institutes (20% ")

3/5

There is a third type of alliance, which is

Alliances to build 3P BRAND

Under this, we have signed following agreements,

Approx. 70 Cybercafes

Their default browser page will be the homepage of 3pjobs.com

S. Kumars. Com. Ltd (SKCL)

We would provide JOBS related content to their $1500$ + V-SAT franchisee/cybercafes

Videocon International (VI)

VI are a category A ISP. We have been chosen "Channel-Partner" (for JOBS), on their portal www.hellovd.com.

Boston Education

Visitors to our website, would be able to take Software-skills tests offered by www.testvarsity.com

A leading TV Channel

We are having discussions to provide JOBS related content to a leading TV channel.

4/5

Dear Surendra:

The purpose behind this rather elaborate explanation is to explain the "role" that we expect a "placement agency" to play Viz: bring-in resumes, which can be made accessible to headhunters/recruiters around the World, using the platform of our website.

You would have noticed that, the commission payable to a placement agency is 30% as against a commission of 20% for other "sources", who bring-in resumes.

A partner website, which may bring-in "resumes" as well as "shopping Baskets", the commission payable is as follows:

We are willing to consider, paying to you (and of course, to all partner placement agencies, as a principle), a "REFERRAL FEE" of 10% for bringing in "business/executive search assignments" from the local corporate clients of that placement agency.

5/5 This would require

Direct placement of order on us by your corporate client, after we submit our TERMS directly.

All dealings/processes taking place directly between us and your Corporate client

All Invoices directly raised by us on your client and payments received directly by us.

Your 10% REFERRAL FEE becoming payable after we have received all of our professional-fees from your Client.

If you feel comfortable with my proposal, we could formalise the same thru an appropriate agreement.

I await your response and once again regret the delay in responding. with regards

Sanjeev Tiwari

TO CONSULTANTS July 12, 2001

Collection Targets

I enclose

  • a tabulation
  • a graphical presentation

This would help us in drawing-up a strategy when we meet Saturday afternoon.

These would certainly help you to monitor your "achievements" as the year progresses.

As far as the 12 month Tabulation is concerned, Maggi has already created the FORMAT on her computer - you could enter your personal data in this format & monitor.

If you wish Abhi/Saleem can help you to create your own personalized "SCREEN-SAVER" as far as the graph is concerned - with multi-colour power-point presentation so you are reminded automatically!

Export to Sheets

Draft of email to be sent to some 10,000 persons (jobseekers), who have sent us their resume by email, during last years.

This is the database on which Mr. Anjana is working, to attach "Industry/Function/Desig" (So as to enter into Module I).

Reena is trying to "extract" the email addresses from these resumes using an "extraction software", will be available by tomorrow, hopefully. 30/5/01 1/2

Dear Sir/Madam:

Make Yourself "Accessible" (while remaining Anonymous)

Sometime back you have sent us your resume thru email.

Since this resume is not "structured", as per our online resume-form, we cannot upload it on our website.

If it is not in our online resume database, it cannot be searched/accessed by our online recruiters. Of course, your identity is never revealed to a headhunter, during online resume-search.

So, you can see that when you send your resume thru email, your main

2/2 purpose is not served Viz: "Instead of you searching the jobs, the jobs should come searching for you".

Only, if your resume is submitted ONLINE (in the appropriate resume-form),

you will get an automatic email "job-alert" everytime a Company posts a "suitable/matching" job-advt.

the recruiter (advertiser) will get an automatic email "Candidate alert" re: your resume (without revealing your identity).

you can use our free/automatic "RESUME FORWARDING SERVICE" to send your (anonymous) resume to any no. of job-advertisers.

Do not miss this opportunity. Submit your resume ONLINE NOW. click here

NON-MEMBERS' DATABASE Mass Migration to Module I

Last week, we transferred to Module I (Non-Member Area), some 32000 records of CA + CS, which we had earlier subcontracted for data entry from respective DIRECTORIES of PROFESSIONAL BODIES. These were transferred earlier also ( months back) but in-between, Module I got "un-installed".

Nirmit, however told me that some 2 months back, this database came in very handy when a client wanted to recruit 20 Chartered Accountant from a particular city/region and we were able to search Module I & give a short list to client within 24 hours!

Obviously client was very happy & impressed.

This is the reason, why, we should URGENTLY transfer/migrate to Module I (Non-Member area), other similar executive databases, which we have compiled (in excel/foxpro/word?) in an ad hoc basis from time-to-time. Some examples:

Some 22000/26000 executive names compiled from 904 Annual Reports in 1997-98. [For a long time, I have been wanting to send them a promotional mass email, but I am waiting for email addresses of these 904 Companies]

NIPM database of HR executives obtained from NIPM - Calcutta, 3 years ago as a computer printout & entered.

2/7

Database of HR Mgrs. given to us by Organisers of "FIRST ASIA-PACIFIC HR Conference", 3 years ago. We had collected a lot of Visiting Cards too!

Database of HR Mgrs. compiled (Some ) to whom we had sent a folder of resumes of 28 MBA students of M.S. University - Baroda - 3 years ago (All we Mumbai-Companies)

Sajida gave us file name/folder names of several such databases to Sunita/Abhi, each of which contains names/designations of several hundred executives.

Similar to CA (Chartered Accountants) & CS (Company Secretaries), what other professional bodies have brought out their own MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORIES? There are dozens of professional bodies. I have a shortlist somewhere. We had, in the past, written to some of these and bought some DIRECTORIES. Please search our library. But Robin should vigorously pursue this angle. Advantage here is that the concerned professional body has compiled these DIRECTORIES at considerable COST/EFFORT/TIME, which is available to us at a nominal cost.

"Alumni-Lists" e.g: leading etc These compilations are another Source. and should be enthusiastically

3/7 pursued - starting with 134 colleges who have tied-up with us.

You may also wish to examine/follow up, whether some of the 359 computer Institutes (NACT members) have ready-made (i.e. on floppy/hard disk), lists of their PAST students.

INTERNAL Phone Directories of Companies These are absolutely latest/excellent sources! If you have friends, working in any Corporate-Bodies, they would happily give you a copy for xeroxing!

EXECUTIVES WHOM WE HAVE APPOINTED WITH VARIOUS CLIENTS OVER LAST 11 YEARS.

We must have placed some 500 executives at middle/senior level. We have not "charged" them anything for our service but contributed to their professional career-growth. If Nirmit was to send them a letter of personal "APPEAL", to make available to us INTERNAL PHONE DIRECTORIES of their PAST employer-companies (not CURRENT), they might oblige.

Infant such past-appointed executives could provide a useful "LEAD" to potential candidates. What we need

4/7 to do, is to compile a list of our past "appointees" as follows:

Sl. No.

Name of Executive

Appointed From

Appointed In

Date Month/Appt.

Phone (Resi)

Email Add.

Company Name

Desig.

Co. Name

Desig

Export to Sheets

Sajida had compiled such a list 2 years ago (from all INVOICES raised - since 1990) - and it is lying somewhere on our hard disk! It needs to be found & updated - and kept updated.

If we can get their current email addresses, then everytime, we receive a "Shopping Basket" or an offline "Inquiry", all we need to do is to send out a "mass-email" to them, giving them an idea of the type of executive we are searching (without revealing name of our client/potential client) and requesting them to "Suggest" names/addresses/phone nos. of "potential" executives, whom they know/heard about and who, they think, might be interested.

I have drafted such a letter some years ago!

Database Vendors we should pursue (first locate), Vendors who are in the business of compiling ive Databases & selling same.

5/7 I have already mentioned to you Mr. Kapadia (ex-CMIE) & Vipul Zaveri (Old Nagardas Road). I have talked about MATRIX. I have a folder containing names of some others. I am sure there are hundreds of such vendors (-so obviously there will be a lot of "duplication" - unavoidable). They compile such databases (of high networth individuals) and sell the same to

  • Telemarketing Companies
  • Direct marketing Companies
  • FMCG Companies
  • Consumer Durable Companies
  • Financial Services "
  • Private Sector Banks
  • Media Companies
  • Cable Operators
  • Any Company which has to carry-out mass-mailing (email/Snail mail) to ultimate CONSUMER of goods & services.

Since some database is sold again & again, price/record is quite reasonable. What price we can afford to pay would depend upon which of the following data is available in that particular database:

Name of Individual Age/DOB Resi: Address/Phone No/Mobile No/Email Add. Offi: " "

6/7 Edu. Qualification Name of Employer (Company) (we are obviously not interested in self-employed persons) Designation level function Current Salary

Another important Considerations are:

How old or up-to-date is the database? From what ORIGINAL SOURCES, has the Vendor compiled this database OR Is he willing to sell us the ORIGINAL SOURCE database, itself?

Obviously the vendor will never tell you the name of the Contact person/Source!

Third important consideration is, Is vendor capable of UPDATING his database regularly (at fixed interval) and if yes, at what repeat price/record?

PUBLICATIONS I suppose you have already started marking/highlighting names from

7/7 newspapers/magazines etc.

To ensure that Data entry Operator does not have to "wait" for you, ask him to start after ONE WEEK, by which time, you may have highlighted some 500/1000 names, so that, at any point of time, he has 3 days of data-entry backlog. He must not waste his time, waiting for you to handover to him a bunch of newspapers!

DOWNLOADING RESUMES FROM OTHER JOBSITES

Sajida (and Vinod, who worked for 15 days) had experimented using www.lexibot.com (). But did not have time to pursue. A far more expensive Software is available from WWW.infogist.com ().

This was planned under "OPERATION BLACKHOLE" under , which is now suspended. But, if Saleem/Abhi are confident, lexibot can be purchased/experimented, since, it is relatively cheap. But these are not passive jobseekers & may not be SENIOR (he would not want to post a public resume)
