ISYS-INDEXED
Job
Advt Database
During
past 6 months, Sajida supplied us approx. 30,000 job-advt.
For
last 1 week, Samata has started downloading these. She has averaged 2500 per
day. By next weekend her average may go up to 3000/day. With some more persons
pitching-in to help (Deepa / Pandey ?), we should reach 5000/day (i.e. 1
lakh/month).
This
process must continue for ever—without a break.
What
is equally important is that whatever job-advt are downloaded daily, MUST get
processed daily thru Auto-Converter tool, to create a “structured” database.
From
this database, Deepa should daily separate-out those job-advt, where
Auto-Converter has failed to extract one or more of following fields—
- Industry
- Function
- Designation-Level.
Deepa
will forward these “incomplete” extractions to Inder (daily).
After
reading full job-advt, Inder will manually insert the missing values, so the
database becomes complete in all respects.
[I
am assuming that “Actual Designation / Vacancy / Position-Name” gets extracted
in 100% of the cases.]
Why
is above “completeness” important?
You
will remember that in the Func. Spec. of GunAd (Ad Compose tool), Inder has
suggested that, all that a recruiter need to fill-in, in GunAd, shall be—
- Actual
Vacancy Name / Actual Designation
- Industry
- Function
- Designation
Level {clickable from list-boxes}
That
is all.
The
moment he does this, rest of the fields (of GunAd) must get filled-in
automatically—including “Job Description” box.
As
far as selecting appropriate job-description is concerned, GunAd Software will
search the
STRUCTURED
JOB-ADVT. DATABASE,
in
following order / priority:
#1 →
Past job-advt released by concerned recruiter himself (i.e. Subscriber Company)
for same / similar “Actual Designation”.
#2 →
Past job-advt released by the “Competitors” of the Subscriber-company for
same/similar “actual designations”. These are companies belonging to same
industry as the subscriber company.
We
already have “Companies → Industry” linkage / database.
Inder
can arrange this list in such a manner that the bigger / more reputed company
names are on top of each industry list, so that their job-descriptions will get
pulled / selected / displayed first. These companies are industry leaders and
they set the STANDARDS for rest of the companies in the industry, even
in the matter of writing good/appropriate job-descriptions!
#3. Final
(priority) will be job-advt released by any company belonging to any industry,
but for same “actual designation”!
By
the time we launch GunAd, (say by end-Sept), we should have large enough
database of job-advt so that GunAd Software does not need to go beyond priority
#2.
In
6 months time, job-advt database may grow so large, that it covers →
- job-advt
released by all those companies who have become our subscribers by that
time (say Mar 2004).
- “Actual
Designations” required to be advertised by all of our subscribers.
This
means, by March 2004, database may be so large that it does not have to go
beyond priority #1.
If
a subscriber gets to see his own past advts (for same vacancy when he enters
Vacancy-Name, then the Software GunAd) has succeeded in REPLICATING the
actual real-life process being followed by recruiter today while composing
job-advt!
While
designing any tool / any software, please remember the following CARDINAL
principle:
“Software
should reproduce on a webpage (i.e. in Virtual World), the SAME
business-process that the user uses in the physical / hardcopy world, day after
day.”
On
RecruitGum, recruiters must find/use business processes with which they are
extremely familiar — processes which they have used for years and with which
they are comfortable. Only then will a subscriber overcome the fear of the
unknown, fear of Virtual world, fear of Webservice.
For
this reason, on each interactive page, we must provide clear/simple
instructions, where exactly the subscriber is, in the “interactive process” —
step-by-step fashion.
→
If he tries to ask anything that makes no sense (say clicks on a wrong button,
or enters completely wrong browser text), then the pop-up message should
politely point out the correct/appropriate sequence to be followed.
While
placing step-by-step instructions, alongside every FORM, simply assume that
each user is a FIRST-TIME-USER.
