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:
- Corporate Posts Job Advt
- 3P Sends Terms
- 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)
- Sheetal forwards diff-resumes to
diff-advertisers (Now automated in V 3.0)
- Corpo. gives Interview-list to 3P
- Sheetal sends Interview-schedule to candidates
- 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
- Experts conduct Interviews
- Sheetal receive candidates confirmation
- 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".

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

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.

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

$\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$ |
|
$\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$ |
$\rule{1cm}{0.15mm}$ |
$3/5$
(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!

# 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.

Sending Terms/Proposals to
Clients |
- currently totally manual -
will soon get "automated" thru Order Exec. System (OES)
being developed by APPLITECH. |
|
All Order Execution Activities
(except interviewing) |
- This will be "WEB-BASED"
(Go online but only we can see) To be shown-open to Clients in 2002. |
|
Actual Interviewing |
- for foreseeable future, this
will remain an offline process (actual Interview being conducted by
our consultant/outside expert, across-the-table $\&$ filling-up of
"Interview Evaluation" sheet). - For "Remote
Interviewing", Video Interview eqpt. to be installed (even at
outside expert's residence!) |

|
(C) FINANCE/ACCTS/BUDGETS
(MIS) |
Either manual (TALLY 5.0)
or non-existent (e.g. budgets/ variances/cash-flows/profit-plans) |
|
There is an urgent need to
"automate" this entire process for better financial
planning/cash flow/investments of surplus funds etc. |
|
|
(D) EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY |
Currently we have absolutely no
indicators of "budgeted" $\&$ "actual"
levels of employee-performance. |
|
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 |

Business-Process/Activity to
be "automated" thru Software
- 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.

Pritam has promised to do
this but has not been able to do so far.
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)
Business-Process / Activity to be
automated thru Software
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.
Business-Process / Activity to be
automated thru Software
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
Notes:
- This is a low priority project
- https://www.google.com/search?q=Jobpartner.com
have something similar
- also Jobstreet / Jobsdb / other websites
- See L&T Manpower module.

TRACKING OF "STRATEGIC
ALLIANCE" PROPOSALS BEING SENT OUT BY (TARGET)
- Robin (for colleges) 20000
- Sanjeev (Cybercafes) 12000
- Chaitali (Partner websites) 9000
- One Shalini had developed a tool/screen
to keep track of this.
- PART A Static Info
- 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.
- (Can TALISMA do this? Nisnit said someone
from ADITI TECHNOLOGIES will give us a demo this week).

- 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

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

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.

Nagle and Anagha (from Vexcel) will remain present. Yourself,
Vinod & Abhi should also participate in this discussion.
- 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.

- Signing-up of partners (Getting their

is merely a MEANS (to an END)
- And "means" have no independent

- 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.

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

I am told, yesterday, we ran out

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

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"

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:
- Proposals sent out
- Agreements signed
- 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.

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-

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

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.

measly great margins on the internet? Tell us at letters@cioindia.com. Stan

(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 |

consider to be the better feature, in V 4.0.

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:

stage, what professionals having similar background of Industry / Function /
Designation, are getting, by way of Annual Salary?
If so

You may want to modify your offer
after seeing this!
This will open-up a screen, where
he can compare the Salary-data.
In fact, we can ALSO pick-up some
data, from all the Job-Advts posted earlier (by other Companies) - involving
same

"TVs that accept internet

A net-enabled TV will add a participatory

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

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)

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.

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

Harshad at Vexcel immediately with the concerned shopping

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.

LONG DISPLAYS, if/when a Candidate uses our online RESUME FORWARDING SERVICE.
Thereafter, it is upto you to decide whether to forward that / those resumes to

You will in such a case, also
need to DRAFT / COMPOSE your own "Covering" letter. (CONT.)
(Memo: Hot Jobs Cover Letters

However,
if in HOT JOB, you enter
CLIENT'S email address, then, if a Candi- date selects that JOB ADVT No.

Dear [Name of Contact Person]
Sometime back, you have given us
an executive-search assignment for the following position
[Box for Name of Position]
Besides our offline researching
of most suitable candidates to fill this position, we had also posted your
requirement on our website, under the HOT-JOBS category, so that,
matching/suitable candidates (who
have registered on our website) may get a "job-alert"
suitable candidates conducting
online jobsearch on our website may get to know your vacancy.
Now some of these candidates have
shown interest in your position and thru our automated webserver based
software, we attach their "long display" resumes.
Since this is an automated
software, the names/Contact info of these candidates are hidden. There is no
human intervention at this stage.
However, the moment you inform us
that some of these candidates appear to be of interest, we would do, one or

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.

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 $\rightarrow$
ANNEX: A (1)
- Placement Agency
To promote your
"service" amongst job-seekers registered with you by alerting

4) EMPLOYEE ORGANISATIONS (Labour

attracting more visitors and getting them to spend more time on www.3pjobs.com for
- Submitting their resumes
- Searching new job-opportunities
- Applying online
- Accessing their email boxes for
"job-alerts"/"interview-call letters" etc.
To stay ahead of Competition
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS?
(CHURCHES regularly display job-notices on their notice-boards).
CO-OP. HSG. SOCIETIES?
(Someday all of them will have email address!) for benefit of their members.
(6)
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.
- 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.
(7)
8) Employers' Organisations (e.g.
ASSOCHAM/FICCI/CII/NASSCOM etc)
To keep a tab on
National/Regional/sectoral employment opportunities
To keep track of
"trends" in employment (including compensation trends)
To formulate and to recommend to
State/Central Govt. policies concerning
- Employment generation
- National Wage Policy
- National education/skills training
- Cross-boarder mobility of workers
(8)
Professional Bodies
(e.g: NIPM-IIMM-IE etc)
For the benefit of your members,
you may wish to publish JAWS in your monthly newsletter/mouthpiece
magazine
OR
You may forward job-advt listing
by email to those of your members who have email addresses
(9)
Cable Operators
You can offer your subscribers an
extremely useful, value-added-service by inserting a strip at the bottom of the
TV screen, which shows job-advts.
Parents {only entry-level
jobs? for a specific city}
To guide your children in
selecting "most appropriate" "entry-level" jobs upon
graduation.
Jobs having posting where parents
are working, would be of great interest.
No need to subscribe to dozens of
newspapers!
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,

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

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.

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)
