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

IMAGE
BUILDER
The
New Currency of Recruitment
If
plain/ unstructured email resumes are the OLD currency of recruitment, then the
Image Builders are the NEW currency.
It is
our objective/ goal, to replace all the old resumes. With that new resumes i.e.
replace all plain/ unstructured resumes with the Image Builder Resumes.
Replace
all old currency - notes in circulation with the new currency notes.
Whether,
the old notes are lying with
·
Jobseekers
·
Jobsites
·
Placement
Agencies
·
Employer
·
HR
consultants
·
How
can we do this?
·
How
long will it take?
·
What
will motivate the "old - currency" holders to come forward to
exchange with the "New - Currency"?
·
At
how many places, can we /shall we organize, such "exchange" to take
place?
(No. of currency - Exchange - Counters).
·
Why
should any organisation (whether a jobsite / a placement agency/ HR consultant/
ultimate employer) want to become our "Currency - Exchange -
Counter"?
What is in it for him? How does he stand to
gain?
·
If
we are to solely depend upon the jobseekers only to visit recruitguru.com.
& exchange their old resumes with new (image builders), then how long will it take? How can we entice/
lure them to come forward in large numbers? What incentive can we offer them?
·
Companies
which first build - up Countryside, worldwide, distribution network (dealers/
agents/ stockiest/franchises etc)
for their goods/ services.
and
then (subsequently), set - up DIRECT SELLING from their own website, ran into
serious problems.
Distributors
saw a "threat" in this move. They felt, these companies were trying
to save their distribution - COSTS (declares' commissions) by passing them & booking orders DIRECTLY on
their website !
These
companies are having a tough time, convincing their dealers/ distributors,
whom, the cannot ditch in any case!
The
companies NEED these dealers for
·
Physical
distribution/ logistics support
·
After
- sales - service etc.
But
Company like DELL COMPUTERS, adopted a DIRECT - SELLING MODEL, from Day ONE !
DELL
never appointed a single database so they had no problem - no
"vested" interests to resist model change!
Purpose
of this digression
In
order to speed - up the currency - switch if we think of roping in many
jobsites/ placement agencies/ HR consultants etc by "Licensing our
GURUMINE/ GuruSearch"
(Where, each agent makes some money - a
commission - either from us, or from the jobseeker),
then,
They
will strongly resent / oppose any more on our part at DIRECT SELLING ! They
will gang - up, against us (from a labour UNION !).
Of
course no one knows what will work & what will not work on internet. We
must continue to experiment/ continue to analyze the results & continue
"course correction", as we go along.
Most
important thing is that obsession with "in - depth analysis", must
not result into "action - paralysis".
