JAWS

7/4/01

Enclosed find a writeup 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 I 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" AUTOMATICALLY!

Especially Employer Organizations/ 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!

 

JAWS

(JOBS ACROSS WORLD SURVEY)

Q. WHAT IS JAWS?

JAWS is a compilation of job-advts 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-advts will get tabulated

Chronologically

Category-wise. $\begin{cases} \text{IT} \\ \text{Non-IT} \\ \text{Subordinate} \\ \text{Entry-Level} \end{cases}$

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-advt. 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.

4 Thru www.jobtrack.com tie-up, Monster.com offers this job-advt broadcasting service to 1200 USA colleges by charging $25 for 1 college!! We have, so far signed-up, 112 colleges - to whom we plan to send the summary "free" except we do NOT reveal advertisers' identity (Pl. do visit jobtrack.com)

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]

Q. What will the JAWS tabulation look like?

Like follows

Advt. No	Date	Position/Vacancy	Ind./Trade/Vocation	Function	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!"

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"

benefit from this?" Because of this tabulation of jobs, will they return to me again & again? Will I have more traffic/more revenue/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 of these jobs and how to apply online?

Will I be fulfilling any social obligation?

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

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

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) etc. etc.

Initially, to simplify matters & get started quickly, we may restrict the choice to only ONE of the following options

IT-related Job Advt $\bigcirc$

Non-IT " " $\bigcirc$

Subordinate Staff Job-Advt $\bigcirc$

Entry Level " " $\bigcirc$

He should be able to select online

[Text cutoff at the bottom]

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) "

A Very Important Consideration

Especially newspapers should be able 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
