As per Raju:

→ We may have to give a demo on Thursday.

→ Oracle want Profile-graphs as per skills (viz.: one graph for)

  → VB

  → C++

  → Developer 2000

  → ASP

I think all software companies would want such “skill-specific” profile graphs, so that they can compare an incoming resume (raw scores as well as percentile scores) with

→ their “private” profile-base of VB / C++ / ASP etc. of their own employees.

This comparison will tell them where exactly does the applicant/jobseeker stand vis-à-vis above-mentioned sub-populations (skill-specific populations), and whether he should be called for interview or not.

In fact, if such skill-specific sub-populations (graphs) can be developed, then we can also build into our GumMine an intelligent spider which would automatically shortlist only those (say, C++) incoming resumes who score 70% or above on “Percentile.”

All the rest are eliminated at this stage —

Automatic Preliminary Screening (Software)

Then the human-expert screeners have to read/review only a few resumes which have scored >70 percentile.

This would dramatically improve/increase the productivity of Oracle’s recruitment team.
With a target to double existing headcount (from current 3000 to 6000 by next Sept), Oracle’s recruitment section must be under a lot of work tension.

The jobs of its recruiting staff may well depend upon achieving this target.

So, they would grab any software that:

→ Takes “guesswork” out of preliminary screening & sends out daily interview-call emails (a schedule that can be prepared in GumSearch & database searchable).

→ Speeds up the recruitment cycle.

I am sure we can develop skillwise profiles.

Question should not be “Whether we can” — question is “When do Oracle want?”
