Interactive Page: Usage Statistics

I refer to our discussion yesterday/today. I am glad that you have built into the Interactive Page Software a mechanism whereby an Interactive Page is used by a Recruiter to respond to a Candidate, we would get feedback.

Using this feedback, we should compile statistics as shown in enclosed page. This compilation-process must be continuous & automated, without any human intervention.

The compilation software should also permit/enable “authorised users” to view any particular statistics, by simply clicking on any:

• Executive’s Name (not PEN)
• Corporate’s Name (not Corporate number)

Of course, we would most certainly like to have a consolidated picture/view/statistics, at any point of time, as to:

• How many candidates have used the Interactive Page, so far cumulatively, or during a given month/given year.
• How many corporates have used the Interactive Page, so far cumulatively, or during a given month/given year.

This would tell us whether the usage is picking up or not and at what “rate.”

It is quite possible that the jobseekers start using the Interactive Page in large numbers, but the recruitment managers are not keen to use the same & rarely use it to respond!

We need to know/compile USAGES by both, independently.

So that, if we find that, for some reason, the Recruitment Managers are lukewarm to this concept, then we can probe & find out why.

There is a temptation (on my part), to make available to the corporates, their own USAGE STATISTICS in the form of Statement (B).

But, the danger is that, they would come to know that we are compiling such statistics.

 …about them, secretly/without their knowledge or permission!

This would immediately put them off! They will simply stop using Interactive Page!

On the other hand, as far as candidates are concerned, they would be happy to see their own statement (A), if made available, either as an email (we can decide period), or as a “Personal Page” on RecruitGum.com (– I think this is a better option).

If I am a jobseeker, and I am told that I can, anytime, see/review a tabulated page of all my job-attempts (free, too!), in chronological order – and I am assured that no one else can “access” these statistics,

then,

I may even give up altogether, use of my plain/unstructured email resume in future, and always use ImageBuilder only!

Access to my own statement (B), at any time, and free, would be enough incentive to me to use ImageBuilder only!

Question still remains about the corporates.

• If they can’t see/view these statistics because,
• We cannot afford to tell them that we are secretly compiling such statistics,

then, what is the use?

If the statistics do not “help” the concerned corporate, why compile at all? What (else) can we use these statistics for? How & where can these help us?

How can we use individual corporate-wise statistics, to:

• Persuade/convince that company to subscribe to our webservice (again, without revealing that we have been secretly compiling these figures!).
• Persuade/convince many other companies (i.e. corporates-in-general) to subscribe to our webservice.
• Persuade all jobseekers to use ImageBuilder ONLY (thereby becoming industry standard).

Think about these.
