“Evolution, Not Revolution”
by
John R. Logan.
This book is in my personal
library - just finished reading.
Like all other books in my
library, on this one too, I have made comments in the margins of some pages -
whenever I came across an observation of the Author, which had some “relevance”
to our business / what we did / what we are currently doing / what we should be
doing etc.
I have listed those pages in the
enclosed sheet.
Whereas you may not find time to
go thru the entire book, it may be worth glancing thru the “underlined” paras
& my remarks on these “Learning Pages”. You may borrow the book from me but
do return fast so that others too can benefit.

PROJECT OCTOPUS
Someday 3P will have two,
reasonably independent “Divisions” (or Strategic Business Units - SBU),
viz:
Executive Search Division
This SBU will primarily engage in
"headhunting" for SENIOR level positions.
This SBU will depend upon a
“NON-MEMBER” database of passive job-seekers, who will need to be located,
talked to, persuaded to consider a position.
Recruitment Division
This SBU will primarily engage
in MIDDLE level executive
- placement with client - companies (5 yr - 15 year experience).
This division will mainly depend
upon a large database of job-seekers, who have submitted their resumes
to us or to any other website, (may be, someday, to any other placement
agencies - eg. our partner placement agency program).
Project Manhattan will make it
possible for us to build up a large database of such ACTIVE jobseekers. In
course of time, Project Manhattan will be entirely "automated"
(end-to-end), so that very little human intervention is required in
downloading job-aduts (Lexisot /
Infogist)
Converting job-aduts (Composer)
Uploading job-adut. (FTP)
receiving resumes
Converting resumes (to structured
database)
Searching resumes (thru
“Intelligent Spider” in “ENQUIRY” (OET-1) Member-search Tool)
Sending out resumes (thru ARGIS
(Converted Resumes))
Sending out proposals
This division will also employ
"GLOBAL RECRUITER" (as a WEB-SERVICE) to lock-in
customers (Corporate-clients).
Whether Global Recruiter
Web-Service, should be completely FREE give-away (like MS Internet
Explorer) or it should carry an "Annual Subscription", is
something we can debate, by listing PROS & CONS of both models.
But,
I strongly believe that it should
be a “WEB-SERVICE” and not a shrink-wrapped box (product) which is
licensed" to buyers for a price.
This would require elaborate /
complex "VERSION-CONTROL" & marketing of Upgrades type of issues
/ problems. We would need a whole department for this!
There are no such problems with a
Web-Service. We have to add features / upgrade only our own web-server! The
users, would need no installation at their
ends. They may or may not even
notice any change in the quality of webservice. And webservice will be independent
of HW/SW issues at client-end.
This was a bit of digression.
What is Project Octopus and
what is its relevance / importance to this RECRUITMENT DIVISION (SBU)?
Earlier, we noted that this SBU,
takes care of its "SUPPLY-SIDE" (i.e. supply of candidates
/ Resumes) thru Project Manhattan, which, we intend to completely AUTOMATE.
(- a challenge for the technical team).
We, further hope that
GLOBAL RECRUITER
will help this division Capture
"clients" some of whom will rather "outsource" their
recruitment process than "advertise" on their own.
But, as far as "DEMAND-SIDE"
is concerned (i.e. getting orders), I would not want to depend on "Global
Recruiter" only. That would be too dangerous.
I would like to have another /
one more mechanism to
CAPTURE CLIENTS
(Demand Side Management)
And, it must also be a fully AUTOMATED
mechanism! - with no or very little human intervention!!
That is
PROJECT OCTOPUS.
On Discovery Channel, you must
have seen an Octopus with its many tentacles and hundreds of suction-cups
on each tentacle.
A suction-cup, firmly
attaches itself to a prey / victim and just does not let go. In fact several
suction-cups attach
to the victim. Then the tentacle
(which has a far reach), wraps around the victim and brings it in to where the mouth
is.
Very little hope of escape.
We too, must learn from Nature
- and its marvellous Creatures - and COPY its processes (emulate),
for survival & growth.
Remember, "Survival of
the fittest" by Darwin & Species that survived are those that
"Adapted" to the environment (which was constantly changing).
Rest were wiped out / extinct.
It is no different in the harshly
Competitive jungle of "Business". If we do not adapt we
will get eaten-up by the predators (- the Competitors), who are on the
prowl.
But unlike in "Nature",
in "Business" we (as a species), do not have the luxury
to "adapt" over Centuries & millenia. In the internet age,
a Century is one year & a
"decade" is a
"month"! This is the rate at which environment is changing,
like on an accelerating "Tread-mill" (- a conveyor belt);
we would have to, forever run faster & faster, to stay at the same
place! Others will fade away in oblivion.
To mimic nature, we too must
evolve into an Octopus.
We too, must have a thousand
"Suction-Cups" to suck-in "orders".
These thousand Suction-Cups,
are India's thousand "placement-agencies", most of which are
located in Metros / mini-metros & Class B towns. These agencies are
manned by the owner and 3/4 assistants.
Most - almost all - of these
agencies cater to the manpower needs of their "local
corporate-clients. These agencies do not have a "national"
reach. Not only are their clients "local" even their resume
databases, consist of local
jobseekers. Many of them
have this resume-databases in box-files. A few may have succeeded in
entering these records in "Excel" or "MS-Access".
None of these have their own
websites (or maybe a very few), or structured and searchable databases.
Starting with those who have
Computers & internet access, we must ultimately convert all of these 1000
agencies, into our
FRANCHISEES
(our Suction-Cups).
They will bring in "orders"
for us, from their local corporate-clients (whom we may be unable to
reach on our own). It is understandable that these Corporates would trust a
local "placement agency" - with whom they have been dealing in
the past.
And these agencies will earn from
us a "Franchisee Commission" of 30% of our professional-fees
for executing that order.
But, in practice, they will
"execute" the order on their own - without (may be) any intervention
/ assistance from our side!
How?
All our "franchisees"
will be connected to our Manol servers thru VPN or leased lines
(or even dial-up connections, if these improve dramatically over next 12 months
- thru Reliance - Infocomm - connecting 115 cities).
They become a part of our
extended "Network".
They log-into our Server, using passwords
and bio-metric devices.
Essentially, they will log-into
our
ORDER EXECUTION SYSTEM (OES)
and use it, exactly the same way
one of our own consultant uses it from our own office. Of course OES will need
Some "modifications".
Like any other (local)
Consultant, a franchisee will
- enter an "Inquiry" (OET 1)
into system
- Send a Proposal
- Create a SON
- Conduct a "resume-search"
- prepare "short-lists"
- Communicate to Client / Candidate
- arrange interview
- assess / follow-up
- raise invoice (in 3P's name)
- collect cheque (made out in 3P's name)
- enter cheque details in OES & forward cheque
to Manol.
One, over-riding Condition:
Nothing - but nothing - can be
done outside of OES.
Even if a franchisee has a local
printer, the PRINT command would come only from OES.
If any email has to be sent to
anyone (Client or Candidate or 3P or anybody), it can only be done thru OES.
Same for all incoming emails.
NO database (of resumes) can be
downloaded on franchisee's local hard-disk.
NO telephone call can be
made (or received) without being recorded into OES.
Server-based Software, will track
every mouse-click of franchisee's Computer and create an AUDIT-TRAIL and
create a history of his "surfing habits" (i.e. surfing the
OES). Such "SPY-WARES" are already available.
In a nutshell, NO franchisee
should be ever able to "cheat" us.
In fact no hardware / software
can be added at franchisee's premises unless Manol server authorises it (after
detection).
But, what is important to notice
in
my foregoing Observations is,
Order is "brought-in"
by franchisee
Order is "executed" by
franchisee
Cheque is "collected"
by franchisee
and, all that We - Our SERVER, to
be precise - does is,
deliver "data" over
wires - electronically
keep "track" of each
franchisee's performance (Orders booked / executed / being executed /
Collections made / outstandings etc etc)
Credit franchisee's bank-account
with what is due to him (Commission)
Set "Order Booking /
Net-collection" Targets for each franchisee
And everything AUTOMATED!
Supply Chain Management \rightleftharpoons
Demand Chain Management
(Manhattan) (Octopus).
But "Conceptualising"
is not enough. We must translate this into action.

Thanks to Project Manhattan,
this month, we expect to receive at least 20,000 resumes (from Monster
& JobsAhead only) - more than what we received from our own website
during last 12 months! In months to come, this figure will go up dramatically.
As of today, resumes received
from Monster can be converted into our Module 1 structured database,
with a Single Click. This is being installed today.
By 13th Jan (date given by Abhi),
we should be able to Convert all structured & un-structured email resumes,
into Module 1, with a Single mouse-click. So, thereafter, there will be no
"backlog" for data-entry. This means, our
MEMBER DATABASE
can be expected to grow by 30,000
/ 40,000
every month! - And it will be
"Searchable"!!
Building-up a large resume
database, by downloading / uploading job-aduts, is just ONE of
the benefits. There are many others, which I have listed in enclosed chart.
These advantages, make job-adut. downloading, a Very important project.
Fortunately, we have tied-up very
little inhouse manpower resources for this purpose. We have 2 outside
Vendors who will download (at least 100 job-aduts each / day) &
email to us, at the end of the day. We pay only Rs. 2 / = per job-adut.
As far as "extraction"
of "Various Databases" from these job-aduts. is
concerned, we have already created / installed most of the Software Tools
which are either automated or in the process of being automated.
We must ensure that there is no manual data-entry of any kind. This is a
low-cost but very VITAL initiative.

"FLIGHT-DECK".
I have taken this word from
"Customer Revolution"
(Patricia Seybold)
p = 225.
To navigate his plane thru rough
weather & land it safely to at the destination, a pilot needs a "flight-deck".
It is full of instruments (and Controls too!) to show him hundreds of
parameters of the flight. It shows "safe operating Range" for
each. If some actual measurement (of any given parameter) is beyond SAFE
limits, then the pilot knows what "Controls" to actuate and
for how long. In many modern, "fly-by-wire" planes, computers
actuate these controls on their own. Auto-Pilot functions.
Patricia strongly recommends that
each Company have its own, custom-designed
FLIGHT - DECK.
On this Flight Deck, the
Company should be able to MONITOR its own business-environment.
Not only what is happening "internally"
but what is happening "externally" as well.
As of now, we have no mechanism
to gather / compile / graphically plot "external" data such as:
Market Intelligence
- which Companies are on look-out for what kind of
executives and when / where
- Who is paying What salaries to whom
But,
on our own Flight-Deck, we must
be able to monitor everything that is happening "internally", within
3P - and on a realtime basis.
And, then our Flight-Deck, must
provide us TOOLS / CONTROLS to
chart out our course (TARGETS)
monitor (Where we are w.r.t.
targets)
make
"course-correction"
with this in mind, I suggest we
create a Single / Unified User-interface, as per enclosed format, thru
which, all of us can "access" / "Activate",
whatever we want to see / do.
Obviously my proposal is not Comprehensive
and I request each one of you to apply your mind & come up with suggestions
& pass-on the same to Abhi before this week-end (14th).
After incorporating your
suggestions, Abhi will come up with his proposal & circulate to
all of us by (21st), which we may then jointly debate & finalise.

“GLOBAL RECRUITER” MASTER PLAN
Enclosed find my outline of such
a master-plan. It is most tentative, but it will help us to get started.
For a better understanding of
manual / existing recruitment processes in most organised-sector Indian
Companies, please read “WARP” on our website. But even this (description
of the process) could be OBSOLETE, since it was prepared 3/4 years ago.
To accurately understand the
actual (manual recruitment processes, you would need to sit across, a dozen
Recruitment Managers, with some
MODEL MANUAL RECRUITMENT PROCESS
CHART
and then ask each manager to
comment on the same / modify the same (as it exists in his own Company). He
will never draw-up such a chart (work-flow) from
“scratch” on a blank piece
of paper, on his own,
but,
if you present him with a MODEL
chart, he would happily point-out, where / how his own Company-process differs.
Work-flow sequence will vary from Company to Company and our Global Recruiter
would have to have a lot of flexibility / options.
Alternately,
You may think of Convening a
meeting of 10 / 12 Co-operative / Pro-active recruitment managers (Raju / Sri
Ram can organise). Then you make an AV presentation of your MODEL & ask for
suggestions. Such common meeting will cut down on “Time-to-Market”.
Besides presenting & debating
“Recruitment-Process Workflow” you may also use this forum to present your
MASTER-PLAN
- and, once again, seek their views / suggestions.
In fact, Sri Ram / Raju
should select such 8 / 10 Recruitment Managers, for this process who
- are forward looking / willing to experiment
- young & computer savvy
- has desire / willingness to leverage Internet
- are willing to form a “CORE-GROUP” which
will continue to guide this project over the next 12 months
In V.1.0, I have listed 8
modules but a different set can emerge after your meeting / meetings. In any
case, Modules for V.1.0 MUST be frozen by end Dec. 2002, so that Coding
can start from 1st Jan 2003. Then only we can meet our target of April
2003. Modules for V.2 / 3 / 4 can be formed-up later.

Please study enclosed statistics
obtained from our website ADMIN TOOL. We will discuss these on Monday
(11th) at 11:30 am in my cabin. Pl. attend.
Issues that we should discuss:-
As against an ave. of 938
web-form resumes/month, how many email resumes/month (average) did
we receive during last 10 months? (Abhi to bring this fig. to meeting).
Did all of these email resumes,
got entered into Module 1? If there is any backlog, how much? (Abhi ?).
Are all (web-form & email)
resumes Searchable thru ISYS? Any indexing backlog? (Abhi).
Before Rajeev left 15 days back,
he had installed NEW Member-Search Tool on all desktops (of
consultants). What is the experience of Consultants in using this tool? I would
welcome sharply worded suggestions.
What is the experience of
Consultants in respect of NON-MEMBER Search tool, which was installed
some 2/3 months ago?
Of the 135 Shopping
Baskets received during last 10 months, how many got Converted into
"ORDER"? Those that did NOT get converted, WHY?
Were proposals sent against each? on an average after how many days? If
client did not respond, was any follow-up done? Raju / Sri Ram must
study these aspects very thoroughly & be ready to answer these & allied
questions.
Also enclosed find a statement of
resumes (emails) received against job-advts (HOT JOBS) posted on MONSTER by
various Consultants, during last 4/5 weeks.
I would like to receive from the
concerned Consultant, sharp feedback as to, how good/bad was each response,
qualitatively? Did they at all find any candidates from this (response) whom
they could "shortlist / recommend" to their client?
( Abhi to get Job-Advt
wise responses, plotted on a bar-chart to clearly establish, how long (how
many days), should we keep advt LIVE on Monster ).

Job Advt. Postings
So far, we have posted 40 advts
(as shown above) on Monster India. When these were posted, we did not
have the "structured" form of COMPOSER tool.
This tool is now installed on
PC's of all consultants. Henceforth, all new job-advts. should be constructed
using this tool.
As of today, we have also
signed-up for job-advt posting (Subscription) for JobsAhead & JobStreet.
I suggest that, each of above-mentioned job-advts. gets re-created \& (by
concerned Consultant) using Composer Tool & then forwarded to Deepa,
who will upload the same on JobsAhead / JobStreet. This should be done
by tomorrow lunchtime, if possible, so that she can upload by evening. Deepa is
also developing a Software which will tell us, how many resumes we
received, against EACH advt, from various sites. This will tell us,
which sites are more effective, for which type of vacancies.

Attach: OPERATION JUDO FLOW
CHART.doc
Subject: Operation Judo
Operation Judo
The game of Judo is all about,
defeating an opponent using his own strength (- even when, you are yourself,
quite "weak").
Study enclosed flowchart. MonsterIndia
is our opponent. It has tremendous "strengths" in terms of
- its fantastic "reach" (to millions
of users/ visitors/ members of its website)
- a large (4 lakh +) database of resumes registered
with its website
- its sophisticated "Job-Alert"
Software which does automatic match-making of resumes and job-advts posted
and sends out auto job-alert messages to candidates.
Questions:
How can we turn these strengths
to "our" advantage?
Answer:
Using our "Subscription",
let us post 99 job-advts every month on MonsterIndia website. To the extent
possible, we should post job-advts which our own current, actual, "executive-search
assignments" look like.
Next, we post those job-advts
which may reflect "likely" search-assignments (likely to be
received in next 6 / 12 months).
Finally, any "vacancy"
published by reputed, large Indian Companies (only LIMITED firms), in
leading newspapers/ magazines.
9/30/02
succeeds, we would most certainly
repeat it with
- jobsahead .com
- jobstreet .com
- naukri .com
I would like to discuss "Operation
Judo" with you early next week, to finalize its FUNCTIONAL
REQUIREMENTS and draw-up a TIME-FRAME for completion of various
activities. Once we are clear in our minds, how we intend to proceed with this,
then we will present our proposal to the consultants for their "comments
/ feedback" before proceeding.
Regards
H. C. Parekh
cc: All Consultants
cc: Nirmit
Please rest assured that the
priorities for our technical team are:
- "Member Search" (thru Module 1)
- Debugging OES
- Operation Judo
(Please find attached, word
document of Operation Judo Flowchart).
9/30/02
What can we expect?
If we have "composed"
the advts cleverly, using many and most appropriate "keywords"
in the Job-description / man-specification protion of the advt., then we may
expect MonsterIndia's software robot, to send out job-alerts to
thousands of candidates, who have registered with the website. We could expect,
50-100 of these candidates to respond and send us their resumes (either
thru Monster or directly).
If we go about this very
systematically, we could expect to receive, between 5000 to 10,000 resumes
EVERY month!
Compare this against some 2500
resumes (1000 webforms + 1500 email resumes) that we receive each month
from our own website!
And to maintain our website,
costs us, nothing less than Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 70,000 per month! So, the
cost of "acquiring" a resume thru our own website costs us,
between Rs. 20/- to Rs. 30/-!
As against this, cost of "acquiring"
a resume thru Monster website, would barely cost us Rs. 0.15 to Rs. 0.30 !!
This is one hundred times cheaper!
From enclosed Flow-Chart, you
would have noticed that we are "processing" same (newspaper)
job-advt TWICE.
- once thru offline job-advts software tool developed
by VXCEED (as per our functional requirement of V3.0 of our
website)
- and, once again
- by scanning/ OCRing (+ a little bit of
manual data entry) of same job-advt for inserting it into PART A
(Ingredient Tool developed by Deepa) so that Inder can work on it.
Obviously this duplication is WASTEFUL
and we should find a way to eliminate it in such a way that the following
purposes are served, viz:
- upload job-advt on our own website
- upload job-advt on monsterindia website
- upload job-advt in PART A Tool
- create JAWS type tabulation for "broad-casting"
clickable "summary" to our affiliates (as an automatic/
daily email).
All along, we should keep in mind
that if our experiment with monsterindia

Now that the conference is out of
the way, I suggest our consultants re-focus on
Entering all Search-assignments
into OES (upto screen #7) and inform Abhi / Rajeev if they run into any new
bugs.
Abhi / Rajeev are gearing-up to
start work on debugging of OES.
Posting as many job-advts as
possible on monsterindia. From Deepa, I understand that response has been quite
good (quantitatively) against the first 15 ads posted.
How is the response
qualitatively?

Highlighting of Keywords in
Resumes
As of yesterday, we have
highlighted 52751 resumes, using “Match-making” Software.
It will take another 10/12 days
to develop MEMBER-SEARCH tool (as part of redesigned Module 1), where, you can
see/view the “duly highlighted” resume by simply clicking on a PEN.
Without waiting for that, before
lunch today, Rajeev will install a small icon on your desktop, where, by
clicking on PEN (of your choice), you can view the highlighted resume.

In my note to Abhi / Rajeev (Sept
6 / copy sent to you), I have listed, in Annex, the “bugs” which they must
remove by Dec. 2002. These are “important” bugs. There could be other less
important / less troublesome bugs too.
However, it is quite probable,
that there are some simple / straight-forward search-assignments which can go
thru / sail thru, without any problems - even from the so-called “Important
Bugs”!
Out of 116, I suspect there could
be as many as 20/30, which might fall in this category.
As far as these 20/30 are
concerned, there is no reason, to hold back entry into OES. This must be
done - and done SOON..
The remaining 80/90, could
get Stuck somewhere or other, due to those “Important Bugs” - one or
more.
To discover / uncover, which
assignment will get "Stuck-up" in which 'Entry / Transaction
screen', it is not necessary to physically / laboriously / meticulously, try to
enter each & every assignment into all the 21 screens, chronologically.
Take a look at the enclosed
"Work-sheet". Most of our consultants are deeply familiar with
the data required to be entered into each of the 21 (Entry) screens listed on
the enclosed work-sheet.
From their "knowledge"
/ "understanding" of
a given assignment
a given Client (-behavior)
a given screen (fields to be
filled),
Our consultants would be quickly
able to figure-out / guess
"Which assignment will
progress how far & then get stuck where?"
I suggest you make photocopies of
enclosed “Work Sheet” & give one to each consultant and ask her/him to
first fill-in Assignment Details (Client & Position).
Then after a quick look,
consultant can put a cross (X) under that input screen, where she/he thinks the
assignment will get stuck & may not be able to progress further!
Of course, following screens are
unlikely to pose any problem:-
OET 2 / (may be) OET 4 / OET 7 /
OET 8 / OET 20
Please do this quickly &
handover all individual / consultant-wise WORK-SHEETS to Abhi for
his guidance. Copies of work-sheets may be retained with each consultant.
Having done this QUICK
ANALYSIS, let each consultant start actual entry of all screens to VALIDATE
the quick analysis.

Debugging of OES.
This has reference to our recent
discussions on this subject. During these discussions, the following was
decided:
Instead of recruiting a new ASP
programmer for the purpose of debugging the OES, both of you will
jointly work on this project.
This will require both of you to
acquire ASP programming skills, which you will acquire on your own thru
self-study, by end of Sept (this month).
Having acquired ASP skills, you
will undertake the debugging of OES, which must
get satisfactorily completed by
end of December 2002?
Your working on this debugging
must not interfere with your regular/routine responsibilities and must
not delay your normal assignments. To ensure this, both of you have
agreed to put-in extra working hours, if required.
Yesterday, we discussed with
Hitchelle & Usha, the most critical "bugs" of OES, which
must be removed so that some 80% of the search-assignments can go thru
the OES smoothly without any problems. The list of such "critical
bugs" is shown in ANNEXURE (A). These must get eliminated by end
Dec. 2002.
It was agreed that the bugs
pertaining to "Multiple Vacancy" assignments would require basic
redesign of OES database structure.
As a result, current debugging
project cannot tackle this (multiple vacancy) problem. As indicated by
Raju/Sri Ram, these constitute some 20% of pending search-assignments.
For such (multiple-vacancy)
assignments, I feel, we can by-pass OES and send ONE/CONSOLIDATED
"PROPOSAL" & "SON" & "INVOICE"
etc to our Client, outside of OES, using a(one) text document.
This will simplify the Client's life.
But,
internally, once client "approves"
our "proposal" & "accepts" our SON
and "sends" his consolidated cheque (against our consolidated
Invoice), it should be possible to split such an assignment into
(say) 5 assignments 1. as far as OES is Concerned. Only, we must
not/need not send to client such 5, split proposals/SONs/Invoices etc.
These are to be created (in OES) but not to be sent. Please examine this
alternative.
If you and Rajeev, successfully
debug OES, as per ANNEXURE (A), each one of you will be paid an INCENTIVE
AMOUNT of Rs. 30,000/= in the month of Jan 2003, subject to
applicable tax-deductions.
You will, of course, try &
remove any other bugs not listed in Annex (A), but which you are
capable of removing/eliminating, If you can do so conveniently before Dec.
2002. If not, then you will remove these in normal course, after Dec 2002.
Wishing you Good Luck.

Non-Member Database (Search
Tool)
In my yesterday's note, I had
mentioned that, thru this tool, you can now Search (Designation Level
wise and function wise),
106,552 records
Out of these (106,552),
Some 92000 records have also become Searchable this morning
then Search-parameter,
INDUSTRY-name.
I also enclose a statement which
shows the "break-up" of "Designation-Level"
wise records as on 19/07/02 and 27/08/02 (today)
(54,894) (104,453)
From newspapers/magazines
etc, Deepa is daily marking names/Company-names/designations (actual),
of 20/30 Senior Executives. Data entry of these, has been Sub-Contracted
to Sushma.
Our efforts to "purchase/buy"
readymade, non-member databases
is continuings we are targetting to add 25000 records every month.
You are aware that Non-Member
Search tool has facility to Search by
- Company Name
- Person's Name
Most important thing is that not
only you should use this search tool frequently but,
you should continuously EDIT,
the records also. Without editing
on an ongoing/sustained basis
(whenever you contact one/more of the executives listed therein),
database will become OBSOLETE.
It will also mean DUPLICATION
of effort -and EMBARRASSMENT if the executive whom you contact, says,
"Hey, what is going on in
3P? Only last week, I told Mr/Ms ------ (your colleague that I am now working
with so-and-so and my phone No. is so-and-so and my designation is so-and-so!"
Don't you guys have some system
to note this down? How many of you are going to ask me same info again-&-again?
This would create a very POOR
Image of 3P - and that is why "Editing" a record (whenever
you come across a change) is very VITAL.

Enclosed "minutes"
of our One-year old meeting.
Raju/Sri Ram has already seen
this.
I had also sent them copy of
"ACTION-PLAN" which we had drawn-up during our 1st Annual
Conf. on 11th May.
You may wish to review both of
those during your next weekly meetings with
Consultants
Tech Team
[Signature]
26/08/02
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON
14.07.2001.
POLICY MATTERS
NHP/AMB will be responsible for
getting orders (business development). Of course, they will continue to be
responsible for executing assignments entrusted to them.
On a case-to-case basis, they
would request one of the other consultants to accompany them, when they visit a
client for presentation/negotiations etc.
As far as "offline"
business is concerned, the whole idea is to be pro-active and not wait for a
client/potential client to call-up.
To the extent possible, only one
consultant should deal with a client. As far as 3P is concerned, only one
consultant should act as an interface with a client. In case of multiple
assignments from same client, it may happen that these (assignments) get distributed
amongst several of our consultants (depending upon their industry/function
exposure etc). Even in such cases, interface should be only ONE. As far
as possible, such cases should be avoided (where assignments of one client
requires to be distributed).
Retainer / Min^m Search Fees
To the extent possible, we should
avoid taking/accepting orders without retainer / min^m search fees.
An exception can be made, in
case-to-case basis, depending upon our knowledge / past experience / future
business potential / prestige-issue etc.
Professional Fees
These will be as follows:
ONLINE
|
A |
For directly posted Job
Advertisements by clients on our website |
8.33% |
This will only cover
"Candidate Alert" resumes & resumes where candidates have used
our automatic resume-forwarding service.
This will NOT cover, any
other resumes which, on our own, we recommend. AMB to be consulted as to what
we should "quote" in such cases.
Since, at present, we have no
means / tool to know which (PEN) candidate-alerts have been sent to the
advertiser or, which candidates forwarded their resumes using our Resume
Forwarding service, we will have to entirely depend upon the advertiser himself
to give us the PEN of such candidates (we are planning to introduce such a tool
on our website, which will keep track of this).
In all of these cases, we are not
required / obliged / expected to see / interview such candidates.
All consultants should carefully
go through the TERMS on
- Job Advertisement-Posting pages
- Resume Search pages
|
B |
Where client conducts
Online Resume Search and sends us Shopping Basket |
12.5% |
In this case, once our "proposal"
gets accepted by the client, we are supposed to "interview"
the candidates which are jointly shortlisted by the client and the consultant
across the table (desk-side) and send our "Interview Evaluation Sheets"
to the client, containing our "recommendations".
OFFLINE
|
C |
Offline Inquiries resulting
into "Databank"/"Module 1" Search
Shortlisting/interviewing/recommendation |
16.6% |
|
D |
Offline inquiries resulting
into "Headhunting" of executives (mostly GM and above) from a
select no. of industries / companies |
20.0% |
This will involve "in-depth"
interviewing / assessment by Nirmit/AMB/VI or outside "Subject Experts".
In cases of OFFLINE, it
would be advisable to consult Nirmit/AMB/VI before sending proposal.
It is absolutely imperative that
no proposal should go outside of OES.
Website Related Problems
If consultants are facing any
website related problems or want to better understand how a particular feature
/ function works, they should consult Sanjeev / Abhi / Saleem (in that order).
Even if Saleem is unable to solve
problem / give satisfactory reply, he will contact somebody in Vxceed and get
back with an answer / solution.
Henceforth, to the extent
possible, our "interface" with Vxceed should be only Saleem.
Of course, Abhi would continue to deal with Vxceed as far as web-server hosting
related problems are concerned (- and keep Saleem informed).
However, all consultants must
thoroughly "master" the working of our website. If one of
their client (HR Manager) inquires as to how a particular feature works on our
website, a consultant would make a very poor impression, if he/she says,
"Hold it ! Let me consult
my colleague and I will get back to you in the afternoon".
2^nd Quarter Collection
Targets
All consultants have committed
revised collection targets for 2^nd Quarter (taking into account the
shortfall of 1^st Quarter).
It is imperative that these
targets are achieved at all costs. If we fail to achieve individual and
collective targets, we would be in deep trouble and face severe consequences.
Fortunately, all consultants have
plenty of ORDER BACKLOG and also have the full power of OES at their
command. All we need is hard-and smart-work, to accomplish our individual
targets.
In a shrinking job-market, the
only way we can get more business, is through executing existing / current
assignments EXPEDITILY and to the entire satisfaction of our clients.
For this, we must use OES & Module 1, to the fullest extent. Anyone
facing any difficulty in this regard, must immediately bring it to Venkat's
notice.
When we meet next on 21^st
instant, for our weekly meeting, all consultants must present their
individual, actual "collection" for the month of July -
as against their revised July targets.
PROCEDURAL MATTERS
Consultants should pro-actively
help clients in the process of "shortlisting" of candidates.
To the extent possible ( - and limited to Mumbai-based clients, to begin with),
consultants should carry the resumes of the shortlisted candidates, sit across
HR manager's table and help him "decide", who, he should call
for interviews.
On such an occasion, a consultant
would
Get to know a clients requirement much more
thoroughly and thereby recommend truly "suitable" candidates.
Be able to "influence" the HR
Manager and establish a "rapport" with him.
Be able to solicit some more business from HR
Manager, by discovering his future manpower needs.
Such face-to-face meetings will
also tend to speed-up the entire recruitment cycle.
B
Module 1 Search
All Consultants should
aggressively search Module 1 executive database - including NON-MEMBER
database, which numbers close to 60,000 executives! Abhi to circulate
this list amongst all consultants.
Databases Individually
Compiled
During last 1 year or so, each
Consultant has worked on several assignments and compiled independent databases
of "headhunted" executives. All these databases should be
immediately handed-over to Robin, whose responsibility would be to
ensure that all of these get entered into the NON-MEMBER area of Module 1, so
that all such databases, become searchable in Module 1, by all consultants.
When done, Abhi to circulate this
list to all consultants (Target 25^th July).
Robin to report progress on this
matter when we meet on 21^st instant (next Saturday).
C
Proposals against Shopping
Baskets
It will be the responsibility of Sanjeev
to enter all Shopping-baskets into OES and send out proposals
(thru OES only) against each.
Sanjeev must also follow-up each
such proposal aggressively till client decides, one way or other.
If client "rejects"
our "proposal" (for whatever reason), it is Sanjeev's
responsibility to carry-out "Force-closure" in OES.
If client "accepts"
our proposal, Sanjeev to get Nirmit/AMB/VI, to "allot" that
particular SON, to a particular consultant.
From this point onwards,
concerned consultant will take-over that assignment and handle it till its
successful completion.
All "proposals"
against a Shopping basket must be dispatched (through OES) within 24 hours
at most. By 21^st instant, Sanjeev to enter all 194 Shopping Baskets
into OES and report at the weekly Saturday meeting. Any problem must be
referred to Venkat.
As far as proposals that are
required to be sent against "Offline" inquiries are concerned,
it will be the responsibility of the concerned consultant, who is handling that
particular assignment.
As far as OFFLINE INQUIRIES
are concerned (fax / email / phone calls), Sanjeev's role will be as follows:
- Look-up the inquiry / attend to the phone-calls
from potential clients.
- In case of phone-call inquiry, note down all
details (of client Company / Contact person / requirement etc).
- Consult Nirmit / AMB / VI regarding
allotting to a particular consultant.
- Phone-up (or email) the client and tell him, who
(which consultant) from our side will attend to this inquiry and how soon
can he expect to receive our proposal.
- Get concerned consultant to enter the inquiry into
OES and ensure that a proposal gets dispatched within 24 hours.

Seems to Broadcasting our
"Search-Assignments" (i.e. our Candidate Requirements) to PLACEMENT
AGENCIES
If you are not fully aware, how
our Partner (Affiliate/Alliance) Placement Agency Program works, pl-
look-up on our website. Feel free to ask me if there are any questions.
As of today, 43 placement
Agencies have become our Partners & have been sent OFFLINE RESUME
ENTRY CDs.
Thru Admin Tool, you can
find out how many "Resumes" we
I feel this is an opportunity
we are missing. Would like to take this forward.
have received so far, from
- Individual Partner Placement Agency
- Total for all 43 put-together
In case of problem Consult Abhi.
We pay 30% of Professional
Fees earned by us, for placing a candidate - whose resume we have received
from a particular placement agency.
Abhi can explain to you how OES
& our website-based Software keeps "track" of such
statistics/data & how, any partner placement agency can, simply log into
our website at any time & see/view these statistics directly.
Except for One occasion about
a year ago, we have never bothered to really "network"
with this (All-India) group, as far as our "requirement"
of Candidates is concerned.
I mean we have never told them,
"we are on lookout for
Such-and-Such candidates. Whether, you have Such a person in your resume
database (box files) or if you know someone pl- rush his resume to us".
In absence of any Communication
(one way or two way), this "network" is as good as dead!
we have Created (from 2
directories), a searchable database of some 753 Placement Agencies
(All-India)
-of which, we know/have email IDs
of 473!!
Despite this, I have not bothered
to "sell" them our Partner Placement Agency program -in
absence of any effort on our part to keep our "Network" alive/vibrant/Collaborating.
In absence of any desire on our
part to use this "Network" for "pro-active marketing",
I have not asked Abhi/Rajeev to develop any "Mass-Messaging"
Software Tool, on priority. But, even without a "CUSTOMISED"
tool, it is possible to Send out some "standard" email message to
all of these 473 (+ some other agencies who have "fax"
nos), announcing our "Search Assignments" - of course without
revealing the identity of our Client.
Pl. consider whether we should
take advantage of our Placement Agency Database.
and become "Proactive".
Should you agree, Abhi/Deepa
can "routinize/automate" such broadcasting (Brand
Building ?).
The only effort you have to take
is pass-on your "Search-Assignment Details" to Deepa!
E-mail responses received from
any of the 473 agencies, will be, automatically (no manual intervention)
directed to the Concerned Consultant who is handling that search-assignment.
Pl. keep me informed of your
decision.

Flexible Timing for Technical
Team.
We discussed this a few days
back.
Whereas, in principle, I agree to
this, we need to have a software in place before we can switch-over.
I suggest you develop -
install and thoroughly test this software, during Feb/March. If, by
March-end, we are 100% convinced that we have anticipated - and provided
for - all "combinations", in the software, then only we should
proceed. For each
unique "combination/event",
we must also have a "decision-rule" ready (e.g::
What if a person clocks-in
after 10 a.m. or leaves before 5 p.m (our core-time) ?
What if a person puts in only 46
hours in a week ?
What if there is a paid
holiday in the week ?
What if a person has taken one
day "leave" on Wednesday ?
Please make a statement of all
such possible "events"/combination of events and, against each, put
down your "decision". Such an "anticipated"
statement alone, will ensure that
we are not forced into taking an "adhoc" decision when that event
takes place. All "adhoc" decisions have the tendency to be
quoted as "precedents" by employees and over a period of time,
these adhoc decisions acquire "legitimacy/right," simply by management
default!
Adhoc decisions could turn out
to be different for different employees - in IDENTICAL situations! This
leads to "inconsistency" which is bad for employee-morale. It
smacks of "favouritism/partiality".
A well prepared & PUBLICISED
statement of "This would
happen
if you do this", has
the power of
transparency / clarity /
Consequences,
so no one can say he/she did
not know!
Once such a sharply worded
statement is publicised,
Ashutosh should
have no need to consult/ask
anyone, as to what he should
do! This is the ACID-TEST
(of
whether you have anticipated AND
provided for all situations).
In L&T, whenever I drafted
a Personnel-related Circular (as
DGM - Personnel), first, I always
got
it seen/Vetted by Shard Shah
who was DGM-Finance! If,
after
reading the draft circular, he
had to
ask me any question (as to
what I
meant by so-and-so), that was the
PROOF, that It was a
poorly drafted
circular and, in course of time,
would
lend itself to different
interpretations
by
- Personnel Dept
- Finance Dept
- Employees/Union
This is one bad management!
Last, but, most important,
The software that you develop
must be able to "MEASURE"
all the combination of events,
accurately/automatically and
directly from
Time punch (Attendance) System.
Leave application/Granting
system.
It should be able to Compute
hourly salary
hours of Core-work
hours of Flexi-work ] for
a week
hours of Shortfall
Salary deductions
Adjustments for paid holidays
intervening
"granted "leave".
(?) -since
28/29/30/31 day month.
we pay by month.
If everything works smoothly for
April/May/June, we will consider
5 day

In my note to Abhi/Rajeev (Sept
6/copy sent to you), I have listed, in Annex A, the "bugs"
which they must remove by Dec 2002. These are "important"
bugs. There could be other less important / less troublesome bugs too.
However, it is quite probable,
that there are some simple/straightforward search-assignments which can go
thru/ sail thru, without any problems -even from the so-called "Important
Bugs"!
Out of 116, I suspect there could
be as many as 20/30, which might fall in this category.
As far as these 20/30 are concerned,
there is no reason, to hold back entry into OES. This MUST be done - and done SOON.
The remaining 80/90, could
get Stuck, somewhere or other, due to those "Important Bugs"
- one or more.
To discover/uncover, which
assignment will get "Stuck-up" in which "Entry/ Transaction
Screen", it is not necessary to physically/laboriously/ meticulously,
try to enter each & every assignment into all the 21 screens,
chronologically.
Take a look at the enclosed "Work-sheet".
Most of our consultants are deeply familiar with the data required to be
entered into each of the 21 (entry) screens listed on the enclosed work-sheet.
From their "knowledge"/"Understanding"
of a given assignment a given Client (-behaviour) a given Screen (fields to be
filled), our consultants would be quickly able to figure-out/guess "Which
assignment will progress how far & then get stuck where?"
I suggest you make photocopies of
enclosed "Work Sheet" & give one to each consultant and ask
her/him to first fill-in Assignment Details (Client & Position).
Then after a quick look,
consultant can put a cross (X) under that input screen, where she/he thinks the
assignment will get stuck & may not be able to progress further!
Of course, following Screens are
unlikely to pose any problem:-
OET 2 / (may be) OET 4 / OET 7 /
OET 8 / OET 20.
Please do this quickly &
handover all individual / consultant-wise WORK-SHEET to
Abhi for his guidance. Copies of
work-sheets may be returned with each consultant.
Having done this QUICK
ANALYSIS, let each consultant start actual entry of all screens to VALIDATE
the quick analysis.

Revising "Submit
Resume" Forms
on our website
We discussed the revised forms
when we met in my office last week. Drafts were given to you. We agreed to
reduce Edu. Quali to 2 blocks Experience to 3 (1 current + 2
past)
It was also agreed that the
"scope of work" should include:
Five items listed by you in your email
of July 7.
11 no. "tracking-module"
tables (carry forward) Download/offline entry / Upload of exactly
same "Submit Resume" Forms which are on our website (carry
forward)
Auto Job-search / Auto Head
Hunt (See notes enclosed for discussions on process envisaged. Is this
correct method to go about ?)
Here, I still have to prepare and
give to you, write-ups/forms for
- Our Terms (HTML write-up)
- Position Details (a form - Somewhat
Similar to POST YOUR
JOB ADVT form)
I am thinking to simplify &
shorten POST YOUR JOB ADVT" form & then use the SAME
form for both the purposes. I will revert to you in 2/3 days.
I am also circulating enclosed notes
amongst our consultants re:
their opinion/Suggestion, but, in
the meantime, pl. incorporate this feature in your Scope of work.
You said, this revision would
need 129 + mandays but you could press into service, a no of programmers
& complete it within 4 weeks. This would be highly desirable.
I await your document/terms. Can
we finalize tomorrow & start from Monday?
Regards

AUTO HEADHUNT / CANDIDATE
ALERT.
I envisage following
"process" for this feature:
- On homepage, this link (CANDIDATE ALERT REQUEST)

Initially, these messages will be
sent automatically (by the server) by email. At a later date, these must
be capable of being sent as
- SMS, on ordinary mobile phone (Unimobile)
- WAP message on WAP mobile phones
- Voice-messages on POTS (www.instamail.com)
None of these communications
should require human intervention.
- When a recruiter clicks on RETRIEVE
CANDIDATE ALERT link on the homepage, he is taken to the following
page:

Simplifying of Webforms
I refer to our discussions
yesterday re: urgent need to simplify / shorten various Webforms.
This morning I sat with CMT /
Mitchell / Nirmit and carried out such an exercise.
Enclosed find a tabulation of our
effort. Following points may be noted:
- A lot of unimportant fields have been eliminated.
- All fields retained are available in Module 1.
- Only new fields added are
- Actual Designation (in IT form - it already
exists in Non-IT form)
- Paste your Resume Box (in IT form - it
exists in other 3 forms)
- Function (in IT form - it already exists in
Non-IT form).
(2)
- "We have a Special arrangement..." &
"I belong to __________"
At present these instructions are
appearing on all 4 forms.
It is strongly felt that we
remove these from
- IT Form
- Non-IT form
and leave it on
- Fresh Graduate Form
- College Student Form
A corollary of this suggestion is
that, we have to have a separate Resume form for NACT Institute Students
(even though this would be very similar - or even identical - to IT
professional form)
SUBMIT RESUME: NACT STUDENTS.
(3)
- If we have a separate form for NACT students,
it will further help by separating out the two dropdown boxes for
- Colleges
- NACT Computer Institutions,
each appearing on respective
resume-form only.
The dropdown lists will become "manageable"
and distinctly "different" so it will also eliminate any
confusion in the minds of students.
I think this has great merit
& I request you to consider this sympathetically.
- We propose to eliminate altogether dropdown
lists of
- Branches / Disciplines (> 100)
- Universities (> 200)
& replace these with
"Free Text" fields.
- To enable Magic Cube Search to work, we
propose to retain
(4)
the dropdown lists of
- Industry
- Function
- Designation Levels
The "Function"
dropdown list will need to be modified to take care of IT
Industry-specific functions such as:
|
Cyril pl. do. |
* Systems Analysis |
|
* Database Administration |
|
|
* Network Administration |
|
|
* Web Designing |
|
|
* Channel Sales |
|
|
* Customer Support etc. etc. |
|
|
(Ar-Gurl Advani will send
you comprehensive list.) |
As far as IT Industry
designations are concerned, these too are UNIQUE, but we will ask IT
professionals to enter these in the "FREE TEXT" form, e.g.
- Programer
- System Analyst
- D/B Administrator
- Web Designer
- Developer
- Content Head
- Technology Head
(5)
- IT "Skills"
Action para: By a copy of
this note, I am asking Gul Advani (Head of our IT recruitment section)
to take a close look at the present dropdown list on our website &
send you his recommendations.
- If required, Pritam / Khader can meet me
tomorrow for any clarifications and they can, then advise you of
implications, if any, before our meeting at 3 pm on Saturday.
With regards

SKCL assignment
Thank you for sending the papers.
I hope you have kept a copy but just in case, I enclose a set of photocopies
for your ready reference.
I also enclose a copy of MMR
= Manual of Mass Recruitment which I had prepared after we executed a
similar large assignment for CORNING GLASS (TALOJA) in Nov/Dec 1997.
This is not comprehensive, but there is enough material there to help you
- prepare a very detailed "QUOTATION /
OFFER" for submission to SKCL. Can this "draft"
be ready by Monday morning so that we could go over the same together,
make whatever changes are required, get it printed & send to Mr.
Bhaskar (personal delivery) by lunchtime on Monday?
If you bring a floppy (in
addition to hardcopy) we could make changes very fast.
The proposal must be very
thorough and cover separate pages / chapters as listed in MMR (page 2 & 3).
- prepare an ACTION-PLAN for executing this
search-assignment. The enclosed material should help you draw-up
- List of activities (& events)
- Time for each activity
- Parallel vs. sequential activities (bar-chart or
PERT chart)
- Bench-mark for each event completion.
- List of documents to be generated
- List of Experts (interviewing)
- Organising Venue
- Interview schedules
- Rating & Computerisation
- Drafting further advt. & media plan &
media-release dates etc. etc.
Such an ACTION-PLAN, when
weekly reviewed with Mr. Koppikar / Mr. Bhaskar would generate a great
deal of confidence in them, as far as our ability to executive this
assignment in time is concerned. I attach great importance to such a BLUEPRINT.

These details will help in
- drafting a good job advertisement

This should include
- What products / services are offered by client
- Worldwide manufacturing locations / distribution
arrangements
- Past / current / projected Sales turnover
- Organisation Structure
- Annual Report / Financial Ratios
- No. of Employees
- JV / collaborations
Such details about the client
help us in drafting a good advertisement to project proper image of the Client.
We could also prepare a CLIENT-PROFILE
to enclose with interview call letter.
One can also use 35 mm slides
/ Video Cassettes / Multi-media Clips to enlighten candidates while they
are waiting to take tests / waiting to be interviewed.
We have to "hard-sell"
our client.
(6/16)
ADVERTISEMENT
- All advt will be in english language -even
if published in a local language newspapers.
- Region (edition) where to publish Advt.
- This will depend upon where the candidates are
likely to be working / to be found.
- Type / Level of Candidates will govern type
of news-media / city-edition:
- e.g: a) all "Accounts / Finance"
related positions must be advertised in ECONOMIC TIMES / FINANCIAL
EXPRESS
- b) For Senior-level positions, "Business
India / Business Today / Business World" in addition to Times
of India
- c) Process-plant Personnel
- Maharashtra / Gujarat etc
- d) Software Personnel
- Bangalore / Hyderabad / Mumbai / Chennai
We should compile a list such as:
|
Type of Position |
Preferred News Media |
Preferred City Edition |
(8/16)
- Circulation effectiveness
- Do media with greater circulation produce more
response?
- Generally? or for a given type of vacancy?
(9/16)
EXPERTS FOR RATING OF
APPLICATIONS
Generally we should try to have
separate set of experts to
- Rate applications
- Interview Candidates.
Occasionally same expert can do
both.
If an expert has to read the
entire bio-data before rating, then his daily output could be as follows:
|
Position / Level of Vacancy |
NO. of bio-datas that can
be "rated" daily |
|
Senior-level (President / V.P.
/ GM) |
25 / 40 |
|
Senior Manager / Manager |
40 / 60 |
|
Executive / Supervisor |
60 / 80 |
|
Worker / Technician |
100 / 150 |
(12/16)
INTERVIEW - schedule / time
per candidate
|
Level of Candidate |
Time / candidate (for
Prelim. Interview) |
|
GM / VP |
2 hours |
|
GM / Sr. Manager |
1 hour |
|
Manager / Asst. Mgr. |
45 minutes |
|
Executives / Supervisors |
30 " |
|
Workers / Technicians |
20 " |
After each candidate leaves, we
should allow min. 5 minutes (at Worker level) to a min. of 15 minutes (at GM/VP
level) before the next candidate is asked to go into the interview-room. This
time is needed for the interviewer to fill-in INTERVIEW EVALUATION SHEET,
which he must do (before the next person walks in) when his impressions about
the candidate is still "FRESH / VIVID".
At levels above "Sr.
Manager", we should allow a "gap" of time, so that
candidates do not "run into each other". At this level each
executive candidate must be given a Specific Time-Slot. He will normally
arrive 15 minutes before his specified time.
(13/16)
It would be highly desirable to
have a "segregated" sitting / waiting area, so that incoming
& outgoing candidates do not run into each other.
(14/16)
INTERVIEW - whom to call
- Always first preference would be for candidates
rated A & B.
- If we are falling short of desired numbers, we
should call "C"-rated candidates.
- Occassionally Client may impose other conditions,
which may compel us to call "C"-rated candidates (in
preference to A/B rated candidates). Such conditions could be:
- Do not call "out-station"
candidates
- " " candidates from a particular:
* REGION
* RELIGION
* COMMUNITY
* COMPANY
* COMPETITOR
* PUBLIC SECTOR
* ARMED FORCES
* UNIVERSITY EDUCATED
* etc
- Do not call candidates who cannot fluently converse
in local language (e.g. Personnel Managers).
- Do not call Candidates drawing above / below a
certain Salary-level / Experience level / Edu. level.
It would be a good idea to
prepare a check-list and get client to fill-in as part of MAN-SPECIFICATION
SHEET.
(15/16)
COMPUTERISATION
- Each Advt. must be given a unique [ADVT.
No.]. This is the "SOURCE" for applications /
bio-datas. This source must be mentioned / entered in database created for
each Advt.
- At any time in future, we must be able to "retrieve
/ re-call" all applications / bio-datas received against a given [ADVT.
NO.].
- An Advt. may contain several "positions".
"position-code NO" should form part of [ADVT. NO.]
so that we are able to sort / retrieve / print, position-wise.
- Each applicant (irrespective of his rating - A / B
/ C / R / P) must be given a PEN in the series 00,000,000 -
00,999,999.
- (This is the series, reserved for bio-datas
received in print / hardcopy thru mail / courier / fax)
- If we are hard-pressed for time (which we will
always be when handling an ADVERTISED, MASS-RECRUITMENT ASSIGNMENT),
we should enter only that data which will allow us to [End of visible
text].
(16/16)
- send a "one-line print out / statement /
folder" to Client
- upload the database on Internet / Extranet (i.e.
database incorporating basic SEARCH-PARAMETERS of:
- Birthdate (Age) - usually stated by Candidate
- Edu. Quali.
- Exp. (yrs)
- Designation (Current)
- Rating "Expert" should write this:
- Function
- Industry
In SECOND-PHASE of
data-entry, all other information about the candidate should be entered.
If "Rating"
expert has to "think hard" before writing this down, it may
slow down the output - so we could postpone this to Phase II. - In which
case, of course, there is no point in uploading the truncated data on Internet
/ Extranet, since Personnel Chiefs always want to HEAD-HUNT by
function & Industry!
I hope Context Cartridge /
ARDIS will solve this problem by JUNE 1998!

DADARWALLAH IS PIONEER IN US
PHONE-TO-E-MAIL SERVICE IN INDIA
Here is an interview with the
creator of Navin.com.
Tell us a little about your India
trip.
Well, I think we have made good
progress. I was able to talk to a lot of people who are facing the same
challenges that we face to make people understand how to use the phone and the
email together, and how to give Internet access to telephone lines and infrastructure.
Over 2 billion people around the world have phones but no email, so they are
the target customers. During the trip, Navin.com formed a strategic alliance
with an Indian company called ZeeNet. We will provide Navinmail service to Zee
Telecom subscribers through their public telephone booths, and we will offer
free email and free voice mail through the use of a pre-paid card that will be
sold across the country. People can send voice messages and email by speaking
into a local phone call. We may get 2 million users over the next year because
the service is very simple and a low-cost service. We also struck a deal with a
paging company in Calcutta, and we are working with other paging companies to
provide the same solution tool. We are also working with a paging company in
Delhi to provide the service to their subscribers.
What goes through your mind today
when you look back to when you started Navin.com?
It took me a year to start the
company and get funding for it. My main idea was to create an alternative to
email that only people with PCs would use at home or work. I wanted to send a
message at an economical rate, so I created a service that took the best of
phone and email and combined it.
What about the rest of your
family?
Well, my wife's name is Arti and
I have two children, my son's name is Rohan and my daughter's name is Riya.
Rohan is the Chief Technology Officer of Navin.com. I thought it stood for New
Applications for Voice/email on the Net.
Any concluding thoughts?
I would say that customer
satisfaction has been worthwhile. People who were not making international
telephone calls because of the cost are now making them frequently with family
members and friends on a daily basis. This to me is a success.
Nirmit / LCG / HCP
1/6/2000
This note was emailed by chetan
as requested by Nirmit. It is a good note.
we should get all our senior
Executives to develop their own personal / individual "strategies"
for the year, which spells out in some details:
- What are their "targets / objectives"
for the year?
- How, will they go about achieving these targets?
(Their strategies).
This kind of "Objective
Setting" excercise should be carried out, each year, immediately after the
Company's own BUDGETS for the ensuing year are frozen.
This BUDGET should form the basis
/ input for each individual to frame / form-up his own targets for the year.
In an open / transparent system,
each senior Executive / Dept Head should get an opportunity to present / defend
his own targets / strategies before his "peer" group.
PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY
Submitted by Chetan Shah on
31/5/2000
Presently there are more than 7000
resumes (as per website or more than 50000 resumes as informed personally).
And > 2500 jobs listed with us. As compared to other sites such as
https://www.google.com/search?q=Naukari.com, prizedjobs.com or
https://www.google.com/search?q=jobsahead.com this are lower figures and to
stay ahead of them our main thrust should be to increase this figures
substantially.
We should target by 31^st Dec
2000
No of resumes --- 150000
No of jobs --- 15000
This numbers can easily be
achieved keeping in mind the reputation 3pjobs hold in the market and depends
on how successfully the promotional strategies are implemented.
I suggest the following few
promotional measures:
(A) Project no: 1
Tying up with major
colleges/education institutes:
In India the number of colleges
are in thousands and students are in millions. The main objective of taking
education is always to get the good job. But keeping in mind the fierce
competition it's not so easy to get a job. It's a known fact that Engineers
from a premier institute like VJTI in Mumbai are jobless for years. These are
the people who will be our No: 1 target audience. It would be worthwhile to
catch them right at the source i.e. the college. And the colleges also have
some moral responsibility to assist their students in finding them a good job.
To fulfill their obligation few colleges are aggressive in conducting on campus
employment or job workshops. With the association with 3pjobs this can become
very handy and beneficial also. With this they can at least prove that they
tried their best and provide opportunities to their students.
But it's easier said than done.
It is often seen that the Principal and the Trustees are hard nuts to crack.
Their first question would be WHY? Why should we associate with you? My answer
read between the lines i.e. how this association is going to benefit me
personally and than the institution?
To lure this batch of people, I
propose the following:
(1) Cash incentives to the
Institute:
- Under this a student from that institute gets the
job through 3pjobs than
- a) some pre-fixed amount will be given to the
institutes as an incentive or
b) Some % of the 3pjobs revenue
from that particular student will be shared with the institute or
c) Incentives are given in kind
i.e. donation of fans, table, chairs or free Internet facility (discussed
later)
(2) Incentive to the Principle:
Imagine a scenario where the
trustees have approved the association but the principal is not happy. he will
not allow us or cooperate with us in fulfilling our aim. Because day to day
decision power lies with him, he should be a happy man.
I suggest:
a) Some cash incentive as we
decide or
b) Incentive in kind i.e. gifts
like a camera, watch etc. or paid holidays at Matheran / Khandala etc. This is
all feasible without many burdens on the company i.e. through BARTERS.
So, now we have college trustees
who have agreed, the principal is also very cooperative. So, the set is
prepared. But where is the HERO (read student) of our drama? He is also
asking the same question: Why should I register my self with your Fine I may
get a job but what other benefits I am getting? What extra are you offering,
than others like winjobs.com or jobstreet.com? Just a resume posting? No,
"Yeh Dil Mange More".
To lure him I wish to offer:
1) MLM - Multi Level Marketing :
If a student is bringing say 100
of his friends to our site or when a chain / pyramid reaches 100 than he will
get some point which he can en cash or can redeem for a gift. This is possible
by using software. OR
We can tie up with some websites
like https://www.google.com/search?q=Moneyinmail.com or alladvantage.com or
desktopdollars.com who are offering money on surfing. The detail nitty-gritty
can be worked.
2) Freebies:
On registering with us they
become eligible to win some gifts say like cinema tickets, consumer durable,
credit card etc. This can be done by directly tying with the Companies or can
be with other websites like https://www.google.com/search?q=contest2win.com or
hungama.com etc.
3) Discount Mania:
Today in India, youth has roughly
35% of the total buying power. And everybody from consumer durable to Cosmetics
Mfg. Company, from computer education institutes to music companies, from
apparel mfg. Companies to entertainment industry wants to make them their
customer. We can take the advantage of this and can associate with few of them
by which they will give discounts to our registered students. And all this is
possible without incurring any expenses to our concern. Again BARTER.
4) Additional Advantage.com
The future of India lies in the
hands of these youths and to bring prosperity in the country they need to be
nurtured carefully. As an active organization we should do our bit to improve
our youth asset.
Apart from all text book
experience almost every student lacks in good communication skills and doesn't
have the skill to face the interview.
I suggest following:
a) Workshops on facing the
interview:
Lots of web sites are offering
tips on this subject but giving them in actual is always different. We can hire
some consultant to conduct workshops in the colleges.
Cost to the company: Marginal
b) Communication Skills / Public
Speaking:
Same as above
c) Resume Building:
Same as above
d) Happenings in the Industry:
Classroom is totally diff than
the actual shop floor experience. We can arrange lectures from industry person.
Cost to the Company: Marginal
e) Internet techniques:
Majority of the students doesn't
know the Internet operations. We can offer them FREE Internet knowledge.
(B) Project No: 2:
CYBER CAFES:
The PC penetration in India is
very low due to high cost and hence majority of the people goes to Cyber cafes
to quench their thirst for WWW. In Mumbai City alone there are more than 500
cyber cafes and they are doing brisk business. A study has shown that more than
1/3 of the cyber café goers is job seekers and for them this cafe's are windows
to the world.
We need to have these cafes under
our umbrella. They can become our representative and can bring lot of eyeballs
or resumes to our site.
As a '3pjobs-Cycafe' associate
member they have to put up our poster in their premises plus making it
mandatory for them to show our logo on their home page.
Our target should be 200 Cy-cafes
in Mumbai and total 1500 Cy-cafes nationally by end of the year.
To enroll them in our association
the following procedures can be adopted:
1) Freebies:
Free Internet hours can be
offered to them.
Cost to the Company: ex. 2
months-unlimited access is offered to 200 cafes. We can buy bulk package from
Zee, Satyam or Mantra at discounted rates.
200 cafes \times Rs. 500/- for 2
months package = Rs. 40000/-.
Compare this with the adv. in TOI
(Times Of India):
Posters: 200 cafes will put our
posters and if we presume 100 visitors a day x 25 working days = 500000 viewers
per month.
Where as in TOI we can get only
20 cc. in this amount and life of the adv. is just a day.
2) Get together:
A small party or presentation
seminar can be arranged for them.
(C) Project no: 3
3p job Express:
Mahatma Gandhi said once
"The real India lives in small towns and villages".
The small almost all the dot.com
companies are concentrating on metros and big cities. The small towns and
villages are a neglected lot. In couple of years the urban areas will reach a
saturation point. Not a single jobber has anything to offer for Amravati, Anand
or Bhusawal even though they are grade 'C' cities. Forget about Dahand or Vapi.
With the rapid expansion of the IT sector this are the cities for the future
growth. Our main thrust should be the rural areas simultaneously with the big
cities. This are the people who have heard about the Internet and always wished
to put their resumes on the net but don't know how and where.
To take them in our stride we can
have a mobile van fitted with the computers and will visit the towns and
villages and can invite people to put their resumes on our website. The van can
be named as "3pjob Express" or a "Lifetime Express" and
will remain mobile. Just imagine with the implementation of
"Sankhya-vahini" project and the "Community Center" project
of Sam Pitroda and the network being created by companies like Reliance, BPL,
Satyam etc. the numbers visiting our web sites can multiply by several times.
The early entrant will take the lead.
Cost to the Company: To become a
winner, this is not a cost but an investment in the future growth.
(D) Project No: 4:
WEST BOUND:
Recently Germany and France were
in the news. The most fascist and racist countries are looking at India for the
trained software professionals. There are thousands of vacancies in both the
countries and they need to be filled up if they want to be global players. And
Indians are the right choice after proving themselves in Silicon Valley. 3pjobs
and their respective associates for this countries can jointly invite some
dignitaries to address the seminar meant for IT professionals. This kind of
initiative can bring larger crowd to us.
BARTER:
The meaning remains same today
also. Major companies are taking this route to save cost on promotion and advt.
We can also tie up with
Computer institutes like SSI,
Aptech, NIIT etc. where by they can give some discounts to our registered
students
Credit card Companies like
ANZ, ICICI, Stan Chart etc who will waive the card-processing fee of our
registered students
And like wise we can tie up with
unlimited companies who will give us their products in exchange to their advt
on our web site.

Sebi to standardise norms for
valuing dotcoms
VIVEK LAW
MUMBAI, MAY
THE Securities and Exchange
Board of India (Sebi) has initiated steps to formulate a standardised set
of accounting norms for valuing dotcom companies.
The norms are expected to help
lay out a better financial forecast for these companies. Prospective dotcoms
will have to make a list of disclosures based on the norms, before preparing
the prospectus and coming out with IPOs. A drafted paper has been
prepared on it and will be discussed at the meeting of the VH Malgham committee
on accounting standards on June 6. It says Sebi will
|
DOT-BUSTERS |
|
PARAMETERS TO BE CONSIDERED |
|
Net revenue/net loss per year |
|
Advertisement revenues |
|
Number of prospective customers |
|
Customer retention/attrition
rate |
|
Accounting of intangible assets |
|
Revenue recognition |
|
Expense recognition |
issue standardised norms for
valuing dotcoms on parameters like Net revenue/net loss per year or advertising
revenue and number of prospective customers and retention of
customers per customer/average cost of customer/customer and retention of
customers loss each year.
The paper notes that valuation of
stocks is a comparison of P/E ratios and valuations across the industry.
However, no comparison is available in this sector. Comparison with the
hardware sector would not give the correct picture as the software sector is
based on strong funda- mentals and sound revenue mod- els, though mistakenly,
investors tend to lump software compa-nies with software companies like Infosys
and Satyam.
Traditional models: Page 4
Net cos must follow
traditional models
THE paper states that in case of internet
companies engaging in transactions similar to those carried out by traditional
companies, internet companies should follow traditional company accounting mod-els.
Use of valuation models should be based on comparison with traditional companies
in the same line of business,” the paper states.
The accounting norms the paper
has divided the sectors under four categories — accounting of intangible assets,
revenue recognition, expense recognition and accounting of pre-opereating expenses
for capitalisation.
On the accounting of intangible assets,
the paper states that in internet sector, intangible assets may extends its domain
knowledge to start an internet company, such a venture would be for benefit of the
existing company's shareholders in future years.
“Valuation of such intangible assets
is desirable to provide the investors with correct informa- tion in the prospectus.
To pre- scribe standard guidelines for the valuation of such assets,” states
the paper.
On revenue recognition, the paper
states that where internet companies provide customers with services which provide
access to internet sites over a period of time, companies recog- nise the value
upfront.
“Just like this, revenue be recog-
nised over the performance peri- od when certain prepaid amounts to be accounted
for in arrange- ments when transfer a mini- mum number of sites, the mode of flow
and when this revenue is to be recognised. For example, in loyalty programmes, where
credits are offered to customers for use of service and the credit is to be realised
later, accounting for the redemption of credits may be one of the factors in valuation
of customer acquisition cost,” the paper states.
On recognition of pre-operat- ing
expenses for capitalisation, the paper states that just like any other business
which incurs pre- operating expenses, even though these expenditures are very fre-
quent in the internet business, it is not clear whether these expenses should
be capitalised or shown as a loss in the current year.

Software Development
Phase II (Folder dt.
1/5/2000)
Here I have spoken of developing Searchable
databases of
Educational Institutions (Colleges)
Computer Training “ (NACT)
Enclosed find FORMS which
I have developed for this purpose.
As far as some 1000 members of
NACT + 3000 “non-member” Computer Trg. Institutions are concerned,
the INSTITUTION PROFILE FORMS will be getting distributed within next 15
days. NACT will send-out with their covering letters. Response may
be spread over 3/4 months.
DO you want to make any changes
in this form before NACT starts despatching?
As far as form for Colleges (Database
for Edu. Insti. form) (12 pages)
is concerned, I propose to make
it a part of our "Agreement" with each college.
In addition, I would like to make
this form "downloadable" from our NT site.
A college can download, fill it
up offline and then either UPLOAD or Send to us as e-mail &
then we upload.
Which would be better?
We do NOT want an army of D/E
operators to re-enter all these forms to create a database on our site!
Let us discuss, both these FORMS
when we meet next week.

Study my note to Cyril dt.
12/9/98 re: Kind of "automatic" email that was proposed to be
sent to job - advertiser.
This pre-supposed sending just ONE
auto email to that advertiser at the end of 30 day period
Whereas,
What I have in mind (NOW)
is to send to that advertiser,
each candidate-resume calong
with a covering email as & when, a candidate expresses interest in
that job-advert. & INSTRUCTS us to send his resume
Since this was NOT covered
in the "SCOPE OF WORK" in Phase I, it will have to be done
"manually" by someone in our office, as each "candidate-instruction"
email is received from the server.
Should we "automate"
this business-process in Phase II? If yes, what should be SCOPE OF
WORK?

Enclosed newsreport says that Matexnet
is Valued at Rs. 150 cr..
Their revenue-model is "subscriptions".
It is not clear from their website, whether they get any % commission on the
"transactions" taking place between "buyers" &
"sellers". Could be found out by sending email.
By way of comparison, what is the
"VALUE" of (manpower) inventory on our website? We have 54000
executive-members registered on our website. If their AVERAGE ANNUAL
SALARY is Rs. 4 lakhs/year, this translates into Rs. 2160 crores (Annual
salary-bill of these 54000).
Surely "valuation"
of our website has SOME bearing on this figure!

India's FIRST online material
exchange (Matexnet.com) is set to go for a second round of funding. The
portal has been valued at around Rs 150 crore.
"We are looking for a
strategic partner who can not only invest in our company but also add value to
our portal," Matexnet Pvt Ltd managing director S Jaggan Vasan
said.
He said he was talking to some of
the major manufacturing companies including multinationals who would take a
stake in his company. ICF Ventures has already picked up a minority
stake in Matexnet.
The online exchange has now
diversified into trading in manufacturing plants with Greaves being the
first company to use the exchange to buy a factory.
Vasan said India carries a
whopping Rs 2,00,000 crore in excess inventory. The exchange itself has
an inventory list of around Rs 300 crore, and has clients ranging from
major public sector undertakings like ITI, BHEL to multinationals like ABB
and MICO.
He also said the portal has
industry specific deep verticals like ballbearing.com to make it easier
for customers to place their preferences without resorting to an elaborate
search.

Somewhere (On some page) we
have links for RESUMES * Industry Wise * Function Wise * Designation Wise
(here we should display by "ACTUAL DESIGNATION" & not by

on these tabulations should be "clickable" and permit a headhunter
to gradually "drill-down" to "individual" resumes
and once again be in a position to add One - or more - of such resumes to his
shopping basket. Idea is to give headhunters a NUMBER of different routes/approaches

(This is an empty table sheet for
preliminary observations.)
PERSONNEL RELATED ISSUES
(to be handled by LCG)
2/4/2000.
- Our total Personnel System must be computerised.
It may not (certainly need not) be
as complex as Microsoft's "HEADTRAX" (read "Bill Gates’ book
"**Business @ the Speed of Thought" available on our Harddisk as well
as hard copy with Vishesh)
but
it should certainly capture the spirit
of "HeadTrax" viz:
Automate all processes on computer
Bring transparency
Easy accessibility to all employees
according to his/her "access rights".
- First thing is to "standardise" all Personnel
Related Documents, eg.
Appointment Letters
Termination “
Bonus/Incentive / ESOP letters
Employee Data Sheet
Leave Cards
P/2
- Create Computerised "Personal Record"
folders for each existing employee, where every transaction/every
document of every employee is stored, and gets automatically updated as
each transaction takes place.
- Framing & Releasing (on Intranet) PERSONNEL
MANUAL
Containing, Subject/topic wise
"Procedures & Systems & Forms & Forms Flow
charts"
Forms to be "accessed"
& filled-in ONLINE (NO downloading & printing of hardcopies).
With several ROs being opened
simultaneously, it is very important to frame/release "Procedures &
Rules" which uniformly apply across all offices.
We cannot permit
"Ad-Hoc-ism" which will come to haunt us later.
We cannot/must not take
personnel-related decisions in a "vaccum" of "framework".
This may lead to bad precedents and demoralise staff.
Decisions taken consistently and
uniformly sustain morale, even if unpalatable.
P/3
- To formulate a "flexible" compensation-structure,
comprising very few elements.
We do not want to introduce many
allowances / perks / benefits / reimbursements and make the structure very
Rigid Complicated to administer
A rigid/straight-jacket structure
will not allow us to attract bright/high-flyer employee
retain " differentiate
between low performers & high performers & reward them accordingly link
rewards with actual performance
Ideally we would like to have a
"performance-linked" reward system for everybody but this is
very very difficult to structure.
For nearly 80% of the
people/employees, "performance" CANNOT be
quantified/measured objectively!
For them, it would have to be,
P/4
a fixed monthly salary an annual
increment/lumpsum a bonus based/linked to Company's overall financial
performance and, may be an E-SOP (available to persons who remain with us for 5
yrs)
For the balance 20% of the staff;
(mostly Consultants Program Managers Regional GMs etc) whose performance can be
easily quantified
[e.g.: Sales/order
booking/Billing/Collection (for Consultants) &
Affiliates/Associates/Partners Signed-up (for Program Managers)]
we could/should develop a PERFORMANCE-LINKED
COMPENSATION STRUCTURE
P/5
This "incentive-based"
structure should have
fixed component 50%
Variable " 50%
They will NOT get any
other type of annual bonus/increment.
Whether they should be eligible
for E-SOP should be debated.
All of these should be in place
BEFORE we start hiring new people. We must be ready to tell them
what (salary) they will get
when " "
How " "
Performance - Criteria (Meeting
Targets)
Although "Appointment
Letters" may not be able to spell-out "a target",
this letter must contain a PRODUCTIVITY / PERFORMANCE CLAUSE
P/6
- One of the top-priority task for LCG would be to
interview/shortlist/select/appoint all members of our own TEAM
at 6 regional offices
at Corporate HQ
Assuming that ROs are
ready for occupation by 1st Aug 2000, we should also get our team ready
to join by that date.
- For all RO & HQ new staff members, LCG should
draw-up a Comprehensive INDUCTION PROGRAM
(I have given some notes to PJP)
NO one should directly go
on the Job without first going thru this intensive INDUCTION PROGRAM.
People who will conduct
Inductions - Program:
HCP
PJP
NHP
AMB
CMT
LCG
Mitchelle
P/7
Since we cannot possibly send all
these "instructors" to each regional office, it would be best
to conduct this program at HQ.
A 4/6 day tightly-packed
induction-program should be drawn-up, going upto 8 p.m. in the
evening.
Each speaker will get between 2
hrs to 6 hrs to present some ONE aspect of DOING BUSINESS.
Each Speaker should make a powerpoint
/ VIDEO presentation & give "hand-outs" for
participants to Carry back with them.
There should be ample time for
question/answer.
All new employees MUST BE "hands-on"
as far as use of computers is concerned. Preference to be given to
those who are "internet-savvy".
Induction Program should cover:
Regional GM 6
" Consultants 12
" Accts/Admin Manager 6
" Program Manager 5
P/8
HQ Consultants 12 ?
HQ Program Managers 4
HQ New Senior staff ?
HQ COO/CFO etc 2
Where will we hold this program?
How much would it cost?
Hall charges (incl. food)
Program materials
Cost of travelling to Mumbai
& back
" staying in "
local taxi-charges
Rental for projection equipment
This must be estimated &
included in the "Expense-budget" in our revised
BUSINESS PLAN.
P/9
- PEOPLE PRODUCTIVITY (i.e. Employee
Productivity)
This must be a major ongoing
responsibility of LCG.
For each category of employee, he
must frame OUTPUT norms for as many of his/her activities, as possible
(see my folder on "Employee Productivity").
Having set these OUTPUT norms,
LCG should
set up a computer-based system to
monitor actual performance of each employee & compare against
NORMS/TARGETS.
The system must automatically
calculate that employee's productivity-index
= \fracActual Output (for a given
period)Output Norm
This graph (Screen-saver?)
should be visible to all. Transparency is the biggest motivator!
Hold review-sessions with
Nirmit & Employee concerned, once-a-month.
NHP p.m.d This was before my
joining 3P 12/2/2000
PJP 1/4/10 Any comment?
Marketing 3P/Building 3P Brand
To do this, we ruled out media
advt because of high cost involved. Someday we will still need to do that.
However, for last 2 years, I focused on sending out DIRECT-MAILERS
(by post or email) to a variety of persons. This file is you can see that from
enclosed file. Sajida maintained/entered by Pande/Damodar, once Sajida
crossover a Circular to them for sending out. Of course any circulars sent out
by email, are entered by Sajida herself in this file.
Recently, I found a huge heap
of "HR-Update # 2 - 6 pages/resume?" lying in our godown. Must be
several thousand! For disposing or destroying? Did we print far in
excess of our requirement? Or we did calculate properly but, later on, simply
failed to despatch? How did we land up with such huge supplies?
You will also find that from
enclosed file, you will also find that our capacity to despatch (Envelopes/day)
fluctuate widely & ultimately, a single despatch-project gets spread-out
over a few months. Once our partner-program gets launched on a dozen
websites, I propose to launch a massive mailer-campaign to 14000 corporates
- One circular every month (one page only). How can we gear-up for that?
Subcontract to "direct-mailing" companies who specialise in
this activity? What will that cost? How would that cost compare with our own
internal cost? I would request you to study this aspect of our business &
aim to "automate" it in next 8 weeks.
The HR Update No. 1 / May
1999
Dear Sir/Madam
Head Trax
This is the name of the software
that Microsoft uses internally for management of its Human Resources
- numbering over 28000 worldwide. Bill Gates likes to call it Knowledge
Management thru Digital Nervous System (DNS).
In his latest book, Business @
The Speed of Thought, Bill outlines his vision of Human Resource
Management in the 21st Century. Do read pages 41 55 / 301 311.
If you attended Asia Pacific HR
conference a few months back, you heard a lot of speakers talk about, "New
Trend and Practices in HR". It was my fortune to make a presentation
on Headhunt on the Internet - The 3P Way.
When I made that presentation, I
was not aware that there are more than 100 headhunt / jobsearch related
Indian websites! But I welcome competition. Whether in sports or
business, it is good for health.
In the enclosed page, I have
tried to present where our website www.3p-jobsearch.com stands in relation to a few of
the other Indian jobsites.
What you see here is only the
proverbial "tip of the iceberg". If you wish to know how close
we have taken our Executive-Search business to the vision of Bill Gates,
you would need to log onto our website and conduct an on-line "headhunt"
on our 47,000 + executive resume database.
Caution:
Once you have visited our
website, you may never want to release a job-advt. in future, thereby saving
your organisation lakhs of Rupees!

Implementation of NT based
Website
We were to start testing of Phase
I by 15 Dec. and launch partner-program by Jan 1, 2000.
Whereas we cannot undo this
delay, we should make sure that there is no further day delay as far
as balance work (incl. Phase II) is concerned.
With this in mind, I enclose a TIME-FRAME
(for balance work) which we should target. As per our telecom this morning, I
was hoping you will visit us today, when I had planned to discuss this
TIME-FRAME.
I am now sending a copy at your
residence and another to your office, thru Santosh, who is expected in
the afternoon.
I would highly appreciate your confirmation
of the Target Dates shown in the TIME-FRAME. I am also awaiting your "quotation"
for Phase II.
We cannot even start MODULE
II (Order Execution Module) until Phase II gets over !

Cyril/Tukaram
MASTER LISTS (DROP-DOWNS)
On NT Server, we decided to
introduce MASTER DROP-DOWN LISTS for
GROUP A
Designation-level - 8
Educational Level - 8
Country Names - 93
GROUP B
Industry Names - 200
Function - 87
Branch/Discipline (Edu) - 55
Uni./College Names - 123
GROUP C
City Names - 254
This was done with following
objectives:
To eliminate spelling-mistakes
Spelling mistakes could lead to
- Creation of a huge list of names, all of
which "mean" the same thing
- good candidates/jobs getting left-out during
a search.
(2)
To make life easy for person
filling-in a form (NO typing leading to quick filling up of form).
While these are desirable
"objectives", use of MASTERS creates its own problems. These
are:
If a MASTER (drop-down
list) becomes too long/huge, not only it takes a longtime to download
but it also takes a longtime for a surfer to SCROLL, to come to
the correct/appropriate choice (on which he can click). No one has that kind of
"patience" on Net!
If an item (value) is missing
from a MASTER, clicking on "OTHERS" does not help
if that value is an important SEARCH-PARAMETER. So after taking
the trouble of filling-in the rest of the form fast/accurately, what is the
use if
- a "job" cannot be shortlisted during
jobsearch by a candidate?
OR
- a "resume" cannot get picked
out during an online headhunt by a Recruiter?
(3)
So, we have to find a "compromise"
between these conflicting demands/requirements of a Jobseeker and
a Recruiter - and deliver a solution which is "acceptable"
to both.
Please take a look at Annex: A.
Here, I have divided the MASTERS
in 3 broad-groups.
GROUP A
These are quite short lists and
take care of 80% to 100% of "occasions". By addition of a few more
"values", we could ensure nearly 100% coverage. And these will still
download fast
scroll fast
NO PROBLEM HERE
GROUP C
you will see that, even for Indian
Cities, the coverage is barely 10%. Whereas it is 0% for foreign
cities.
If we believe
that we are about to become
(4)
an "International"
recruitment company
Corporates from all
over the World will soon start posting their job-aduts on our website
There are (may be) 100,000
cities all over the World, which we may, someday need to cover (thru our Partner
Program/Affiliate Cybercafe program/Eng. colleges Program/NACT program/Internet
kiosk program etc.)
Resumes of Candidates
living in any of these Cities will get posted on our website
Then, the conclusion is
foregone.
We CANNOT have a CITY
MASTER!
We must permit, both
candidates & recruiters to type in their City Name freely.
Implications
No job search by
"City" but only by
- Industry
- Designation Level
- Function
I think this should be acceptable
to
(5)
jobseekers.
Of course, City Name (as
typed) can still be displayed/shown when full resume or full
job-adut. gets displayed.
After that the jobseeker can
decide whether he is still interested in that (City) job or not.
NO "Resume search"
(headhunt) by City
short displays (of short-listed
candidates)
Does not show the
"City" in any case
Long displays (of short-listed
candidate)
Display "City" only for
non-IT prof. (I don't understand why this is missed out for IT prof! Must be
shown).
Most of "headhunts"
are based on
- Industry
- Function
- Designation-Level
- Age (Max)
- Exp (Min)
- Edu. Quali (Level/Branch)
(6)
So, let a recruiter get to see
all Candidates (from all the Cities) who meet above-mentioned Criteria - then
decide & click for creating shopping basket.
With less than 10%
City-coverage for India & 0% coverage for Foreign, CITY
MASTER is simply NO GOOD to have.
And we just CANNOT have a CITY-MASTER
of 10,000 cities which takes 20 minutes to download!
So let us drop CITY MASTER.
GROUP B
These are reasonably
"covered" but still leave-out a fairly large %age outside the
MASTER.
We cannot afford to forget these
job-seekers (wanting to post
resumes)
head-hunters
("job-aduts").
To cover such (odd-ball) jobseekers
and job-aduts I propose we add a NOTE (at some appropriate
(7)
places on both
Submit Resume Form &
Submit Job Adut. form
as per ANNEX: C.
Thereafter, without increasing
the length of the MASTERS, we can DISPLAY this NOTE during LONG
DISPLAYS of both
Resumes and
Job Aduts.
This would help the headhunters
& the jobseekers to decide whether they are interested or not.
I would appreciate if Cyril/Tukaram
could meet us tomorrow morning in our office to finalise this aspect.

Cyril 7-8-99.
The Ultimate Customer
In her book "Customers.Com",
author Patricia Seybold keeps talking again & again about distinguishing
between
- the Intermediary (Agent)
&
- the Ultimate Customer.
She says, our website - and all
our business-processes should target the "ultimate" customers
and make it easy for them to conduct business with us.
In our executive-search business,
the HR Manager is really an "agent". The people he
hires rarely work in HR Dept and report to him!
In any Organisation, most of the executives
recruited work in depts. such as
- production
- sales
- marketing
- design
- purchase
- maintenance
etc.
So, it is the "Line
Managers" of these depts (the
dept-heads/section-heads/division-heads/group-heads/region-heads etc) who
are our ultimate customers.
(2)
Besides targeting the HR
Managers, we must also target these ultimate customers.
We must get THEM to conduct
"headhunt" on our website. They must experiment and findout how easy
- and quick - it is to locate an executive from our vast database.
If they are convinced about the efficiency
- and effectiveness - of our PROCESS, they will bring pressure on
the HR Manager to use only www.3p-jobsearch.com and forget about advertising in
newspapers.
Here, one impatant common
characteristic of all line-managers (i.e. practically all Indian
corporations) come to our help.
They are all poor planners!
All of them wake-up at the last
minute and want their man yesterday! Ask any HR Manager.
So, if they are offered a better/superior
alternative to newspaper job-adut & a 6 month Recruitment Process
Cycletime, they would jump at it.
If, headhunting on www.3p-jobsearch.com
(3)
can get their man in 2 months
instead of 6 months, they would never look at any other option - because
headhunting on our website
- eliminates the need to think & plan Vacancies
months ahead in a systematic way under uncertain future conditions
- covers-up his inefficiency/lack of planning.
However, in a scenario where even
HR Mgrs are finding it difficult to log on and conduct an online
headhunt, to get other line-managers to do this, is going to be difficult.
It will take time & lot of "educating" of the line
managers.
It is with this in mind that I
thought of distributing our Resume Database (with our search-software)
on a CD - to as many HR Managers as we can.
(Please see draft of my. circular/form,
of which we are about to print & distribute \approx 15000 copies).
I suspect - and hope - that when
they get these CDs, the HR Managers would talk about that to
other Line
(4)
managers - and may even take
their help in viewing the contents.
Once our CD gets an "entry"
into an Organisation, it is bound to circulate amongst line-managers.
Since cost-of-reproduction is not very high, we will ask HR Mgrs
if he wants more copies for distribution amongst his line-managers.
Then again, we have
name/designation (and of course, office addresses) of over 30,000
"line-managers" - Obtained from Annual Reports - to whom
we can DIRECTLY write, asking whether they would like to get
their own "personal" copy of our CD! - free too!
After 6 months, I would
like to send them an "upgrade" version of CD, where
"Candidate Profiles" would be much more detailed,
without revealing their identities. You will recall that this "shortcoming"
was pointed out to us by
- HR Mgrs who attended our presentation at Royal
Palm club
- Neville Taraporevala of Times of India
(5)
We are, ourselves, acutely
conscious of this lacuna and want to set it "right" at the earliest.
It is quite likely that the
current brief "profile" does NOT help a headhunter to
make up his mind re: the suitability (or otherwise) of a candidate.
In turn, the headhunter, after
seeing the profiles of "short-listed" candidates may be shying
away from filling up & sending to us the "Shopping
Basket". I strongly feel, we would get a huge response if we
overcome this problem.
You are aware that all the job-sites
(whether Indian or American) reveal almost the entire resume
of every candidate. This is why there is a huge traffic of
headhunters to these sites...
Without revealing his
"identity", we should reveal everything about a
candidate. Then only headhunters will come to our site.
(6)
After distribution of CDs,
the next step I propose is to CONSOLIDATE our grip by making
available to all HR Managers,
MODULE 2 - ORDER EXECUTION
SOFTWARE !!
In "Customers.Com",
Patricia Seybold tells us, again & again,
"Get your customers to use
on their internal INTRANETS, the same software that get to use on
your website. Get them accustomed - get them habituated - Let there be a mirror-imaging
on Internet & Intranets. Let there be seamless integration."
Once your customers get used to same
software/same features/same search capabilities/same functionalities, on
their INTRANETS, then they are "hooked" to your website
for ever. They will neither think of developing something else on their own,
nor think of deserting your website.
They are truly locked-in !
This means,
If you look at the 21 steps
of Order Execution chart, the activities are divided between
- Actions to be taken by 3P
- " " " by Client (HR Mgrs)
- " " " by Candidates
NOW if we replace
"3P" with HR Manager
&
"Client" with Line
Manager (ultimate client)
we have a situation (internal to
the client's Organisation) which is not very different!
(MIRROR IMAGING)
This means,
Using our Module 2
software an HR Manager will track/follow-up/execute any "vacancy"
which he has himself directly "advertised" or in newspapers,
on behalf of his clients (viz: line-managers).
The HR Mgr replaces "3P"
as the "executor" of this search-assignment!
All "business-processes"
remain same!
HR Mgr. treats line-manager
as "Client" and line-manager treats HR Mgr. as
"service provider".
Both can "track/monitor
all 21 steps (listed in my Module 2 notes) on their internal LAN/INTRANET.
And when they go to www.3p-jobsearch.com,
they find the same, familiar interface & same features & same
functions!
Can we discuss this further when
we meet on Monday?

HR Update - No. 2 Aug. 1999
Dear Sir/Madam :
6 cents (Rs. 2.5) per Resume?
Whether in USA or in India, that
is cheap, real cheap! In my last letter, I had mentioned how Microsoft manages
its Human Resources using digital technology. In the enclosed
"extract", you will learn how
- HUMANA has reduced cost of receiving a resume to 6
c/resume
- CISCO has managed to recruit 2000 employees each
year for 7 years in a row by automating 70 % of its recruitment process.
If all of you were to
successfully implement what HUMANA/CISCO have managed, we would soon go out of
business!
But if you are hiring less than
100 persons each year, you have no need to setup your own website devoted to
"digital recruiting". It would make much more sense for you to log
onto www.3p-jobsearch.com
and simulate, as schematically shown on enclosed charts,
- Scenario # 1 ..... Post Your Job-Adut on our
website (free)
- Scenario # 2 ..... Conduct Online Headhunt on our
site.
But if you hate the WWW (world
wide wait) and prefer to conduct your headhunting "offline", there is
an option! By filling-in the form on the reverse, become a member of 3P CLUB
and get your FREE copy of our Resume Database CD. You will end up
saving lakhs of rupees which you normally spend on job-advts in newspapers. You
will also reduce your Recruitment Process Cycle-time from 6 months to 2
months!
For posting their job-advts on
our website we thank,
- Birla 3M
- Videocon
- Godrej
- Bajaj Auto
- TCS
- L&T
- NRC
- ATUL
- Emerck

TO ALL CONSULTANTS 26/7/99
For sometime now, we have felt
the need to be aggressive in our marketing efforts.
It was also agreed that each one
of you should have a much more comprehensive role which extends beyond,
MARKETING
Submit Proposals/Terms
Negotiating-Selling
ORDER EXECUTION
Invoicing/Follow-Up
Collection of Outstandings
Customer Service
This is a total job in which you
are supported by the "back-office" team consisting of
- Sajida/Nirav/Suresh/Nirmit/myself/Priya/Judy/other
office-staff... etc.
(2)
But you cannot become aggressive
unless you "know" who your existing/potential clients are!
With this in mind, we distributed
all the "industries" amongst you. These, then became your "territories".
We also have grouped each
& every Indian Company (at least LTD. Companies) under one - or other
of these industries. So, now you have lists of "specific"
Cos. which "belong" to you. You are the owner/manager of these
companies. They are your exclusive "clients". You are the
"Accounts Manager" for these Cos.
Of course, with passage of time
- more Industries will be added
- " Companies " "
- " Consultants " "
So dynamic "reshuffling"
is inevitable.
In the enclosed folder, I have
tried to "list" who your customers are. The lists draw
upon several sources.
The lists prepared by
- Sana (16000 + LTD. Cos)
- K-PASS (22000 + LTD/PVT LTD Cos)
are too big to be "printed-out"
as "hardcopies". Sajida has prepared (or preparing) computer-based
files/directories for these, for each of you, which you can "access"
from your own node.
Now you are own your own!
You have to market
"3P" to these companies - which "belong" to you.
You should hence forth, send
them promotional letters/e-mails, tell them who we are and what we can
do to make their life easier.
Wherever e-mail address is
available, only e-mails must be sent. This is a very fast/efficient/cheap
method.
Wherever available, Sajida,
will mention e-mail addresses in YOUR client database.
Wherever not available, request
Judy to phone-up those companies and request for their e-mail address by
saying, "we want to send an invitation to your HR/Personnel Manager.
Can we have his name/designation/e-mail address?"
Remember to send each email (or
even Book Post letter) addressed to an INDIVIDUAL - by his/her NAME!
This is a MUST!
In the ultimate analysis, a human
being is your client - not a company. You cannot "talk" to
a company nor invite it for dinner!
You must establish a one-to-one
personal relationship with who-so-ever happens to be in charge of
recruitment in each client-company.
Our "Mail-king"
software creates personalised salutations (e.g. Dear Mr. Patil / Dear
Ms. Gupta etc) as far as e-mails are concerned.
"Book-Post"
letters must not be signed. If signed, these become FIRST
CLASS MAIL and require higher postage.
Of course, if you are sending-out
"circulars" to several hundred companies and, therefore resort to
BOOK-POST/PRINTED letters, you may have to enter by hand
Dear [ ... ]
but do not "sign" at
the bottom!
Postal authorities may still
treat these as "Printed Circulars" & accept Re. 2 stamp.
If the quantity (of mailers) is under
100, you may choose to computer-print with individual salutation and
sign at the bottom.
Whereas each one of you will
write to your own Clients, when it comes to sending-out any general
Circular to all 16000/22000 cos - belonging to all 151 industries -
is concerned, I will do so. Mostly these will be to keep them informed about
- developments in HR (HR Update)
- our website developments.
However, each one of you may
want to write to A, B or C Industry-clients, how many suitable
"Candidates" you have in your database in which that client-company
may be interested.
In the last 6 months, I
have sent-out several circulars. These

Hopefully, before long, each

posted on our website, after hiding client contact data. However Job key No.

Master List of Public Limited
Companies.
For getting MODULE # 1
started, we gave you a Master List of Companies consisting of both
"Limited" and "Private Ltd" Companies. Some 14000+
records. This was compiled from KOMPASS - 1993 directory.
Although most of the Companies
mentioned here are "irrelevant" for us, we had to have SOME
Master-List to start Module 1.
As each resume gets entered into
Module 1, the "relevant" Companies' list will grow.
Independent of this, for the last
4/6 weeks, we have been trying to compile a
MASTER LIST OF (PUBLIC)
LIMITED COMPANIES
from various source-documents.
These sources are listed in
Annex: A
(2)
We are not using all of these
sources, but I have listed these to emphasize that there could be many-many
sources.
How would such a MASTER LIST
help? What can we do with it?
I have shown this in Annex: B.
This is self-explanatory.
Because of the multiple
"uses" envisaged in Annex: B, the CORPORATE DATABASE
shown in Annexure has a lot of "fields", far more than
the Master List given to you for Module # 1.
For the moment, even the current
list (of Limited Companies) being compiled has only
- Company Name
- " " Address (HQ address)
But, we cannot compile a "new
Corp. database" every 3 months, as we discover a "new"
use for it!
It would be highly desirable, if
we can, right now, devise a database "structure" which would
take care
(3)
of our needs for the foreseeable
future. Then, in such a structure, we may go on adding more & more data in
an "incremental" manner, as & when, we get hold of such
data.
This is the same concept as in
the case of our NON-MEMBER EXECUTIVE DATABASE.
Companies can also be "Members"
(i.e. Clients) or "Non-Members" (i.e. Potential
Clients).
We, most certainly need to create
such a MASTER CORPORATE DATABASE for our Module # 2 (Order Execution).
And, we must start creating this MASTER
right NOW, so that it is ready by the time you are ready to install Module
# 2. Without this, we will simply not be able to implement Module 2.
I would, therefore, request you
to take-up on a priority basis, the design of the database structure
& make it available to Sajida, so that she can start creating such a
database and keep it ready within 2/3 months.
While developing the data-entry-software
(for MASTER CORPORATE DATABASE), please ensure that whatever data-entry we
have already done can be directly migrated to the new structure and that we do NOT
have to re-key-in all the fields. This is very important.
For this purpose, you may even
depute Lindsay to examine the existing database structures of several corporate
databases which are floating around in our Network.
Then there is also a question...
- Can we directly migrate to our MASTER, company
databases from
- Explore India CD
- CIT floppy
- KOMPASS - 1996 CD (available from Hongkong for 1000)
- Kothari CD (expected in 3/4 months)
- TATA PRESS
- GETIT
- SELPAGE
- CAPEX / PRONESS online databases from CMIE
(Annual subscription
(5)
- Databases being offered by VIPUL ZAVERI
- MTNL Phone Directory CD
- VSNL e-mail directory floppies
- C 60,000 addresses which we recently
obtained & trying to get 300,000
- This contains 3000/4000 Public Limited
Companies.
Our aim should be to obviate /
eliminate manual data entry wherever such data (even in a truncated manner)
is already available on electronic media.

H.C. Parekh

Sub: Designing &
Developing Software-Resume Builder on Floppy
Enclosed find our cheque No: -
of to-day's date against your
above-mentioned invoice.
Although this item was covered in
our order for development of internet/extranet, you felt that the amount of
development effort that you had to put in was for more than what was envisaged
originally. You will recall that for development of internet/extranet itself,
against your original quote of Rs. 45000/=, we have already paid you Rs.
80,000/=, since you felt that the amount of effort put in was much more than
envisaged. Now, with this payment, the total has gone up to Rs. 95000/= in
all. This is fine, since I have, all along, accepted that you should not
make a "loss" on any software development assignment that you
undertake for us.
This is also the reason, why, I
have
accepted all of your
"quotations" without any argument, viz:
- Internet/extranet
- Software/website maintenance
- Module # 1
etc.
I want to assure you that I will
continue to do so in future as well. Not only that, I further wish to assure
you that I will also continue to make payments for any of your invoices for
"unforeseen/unenvisaged" work that you might need to put-in.
However my only request is that,
for all future modules (starting with Module # 2 - and any leftover from
Module # 1), please very carefully study
- all the files/folders lying in my cabinet
- all the notes which I keep sending
AND,
before starting work, draw-up a
very COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM DESIGN DOCUMENT (separately for each module.)
AND,
get this approved by me (after I
have opportunity to circulate amongst our consultants).
I am not saying that this
procedure will altogether "eliminate" unforeseen work - but I do
feel, it will drastically reduce it.
My second request is that the time-frame
(for Module # 2/3/4/5) that we jointly drew up on 11^th Aug., must be adhered
to AT ALL COSTS!
As far as development of Software
(in respect of Resume Builder floppy) covered by my notes dated
9-6-98 and
9-7-98
is concerned,
if you feel, you need to charge
me for this separately, please rush your estimate. Alternately, you may include
this in MODULE # 2 (for which, please do submit your QUOTATION along with
SYSTEM DESIGN DOCUMENT).
With regards,
(Signature)

Uday, Nirmit, Sajida.
(Illegible) Draft (Type or use
(Illegible) pen-ink)
This letter is proposed to be
sent to people who send their resume by post (after scanning-OCR-txt, &
allotment of PEN but NO DATA ENTRY). This letter must be sent out latest by
next day- for whatever resumes are received by post today.
Since PEN is to be printed on
address-label (Rest. address/Name/Pen will need to be entered), the letter
itself can be xeroxed or pre-printed, depending upon daily volume. Date can be
entered by hand. 'M' series floppies to be despatched. Sajida will start from
20th. Resume. Unless you have suggestion/comments?
(Signature and Date 15/8/98)
Thank you for sending us your
resume by post. We would be happy to help you find a challenging job/an
exciting career. The Permanent Executive Number (PEN), allotted to you is
mentioned on the address-label. Please quote this in all future communications
- whether typed or telephonic.
But before we can help you, first
you have to help us! You should enter your resume on the enclosed Resume-builder
floppy and return it to us thru courier.
Then only we will be able to
upload it onto our Internet/Extranet databases - the Resume builder
floppy being "web ready". Unless this happens, your
executive-profile, will remain "in-accessible/un-searchable" to
hundreds of Personnel Chiefs who, daily conduct online "head-hunting"
on our website, www.3p-jobsearch.com.
On website, your name/address/employer are never revealed - only your PEN is
displayed.
After uploading your profile on
our website, we will write to you once again,
- Reconfirming your PEN (Permanent Executive Number)
- Confirming your User ID / PASSWORD (which you enter
on floppy)
To ensure that there is no
duplication of PEN, please do NOT enter your resume directly on our
website (although there is a provision), since you have already been allotted
one (please note down from the address-label on the envelope).
When you return the floppy,
please do mention your PEN in the covering letter.
with regards,
Ms. Sajida Syed
Database Supervisor.
