SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES FOR NEXT 30 DAYS.

·     Enclosed find my suggestions.

·     In case there are any doubts/ questions  - pl. feel free to see me - preferably together.

·     I suppose Kartavya would prepare a PROJECT - PLAN, laying down, who will do, what & when.

We should monitor it weekly.

·     During next 3/4 weeks, Abhi will concentrate on

(1) Processing 2 lakh Job - advts thru Auto - Converter to create database) separate actual vacancy - name wise/ isys - INDEX keywords for each vacancy - name calculate frequency / complete weight ages etc. (To help create graphical profiles for SKILLS for IT/ITES Companies)

(2) Develop / Buy a webspider for downloading job - advts so that Vittal can do more meaningful work.

Recruit Guru - 

Priorities for additional features

(1) Flight Deck (subscribers & our own) separate folder sent today

       (2) Counter on homepage "Aggregate of Resumes Extracted"

       (3) Speed / Accuracy (armu) graphs

(4) Facility for a subscriber to bounce back extracted resume back to the concerned candidate, asking him to edit/ update - esp. "Career History" section -  then directly log on to specified link on Recruit guru, & upload on his own. 

Subscriber should be able to bounce back to a batch of candidates, with just one click (mass bouncing - back)

I am seriously considering offering this "transaction" FREE.

Our Advantages:-

·     When thousands of candidates, edit / update & upload their extracted resumes on Recruit guru's PRIVATE database, subscribers will not notice the "extraction failures"!

·     Hopefully all candidates will edit/ update/ upload, because of the FEAR (emotion) that if he did not/ will not take this trouble, then his resume may not be even considered for the vacancy in question!

·     "Edit/ Update/ Upload" request coming from a potential employer will be compiled 100%!

·     In the process, our subscribers databases will become COMPLETE in all respects - without errors become Up to date. Therefore the subscribers will be able to derive full benefit of their PRIVATE database.

They will be happy.

·     So, the jobseekers will contribute OUR success! by completing our incomplete work.

·     We may even seriously consider whether this ability on part of a jobseeker - can be / should be made a permanent feature, instead of a onetime feature.

·     By this, I mean, can we / shall we permit a jobseeker to EDIT his resume ONLINE as often as he wants ? Whenever he wants?

·     Now remember that such "ENDING" has to b done / carried out into the SUBSCRIBERS PRIVATE DATABASE.!

·     A subscriber, may or may not want any jobseeker to be able to "access" his PRIVATE database, at will, for the purpose of editing.

·     He may think, the integrity/ security office private database may get compromised by granting such "access" to thousands of candidates!

·     So any such solution of "Edit/ Update / Upload" directly by a candidate, will have to be OPTIONAL as far as the subscribers are concerned.

·     We may consider providing a button on Guru mine pase (next to EXTRACT button), which reads,

·     Automatically forced extracted resumes to concerned candidates for editing / updating/ uploading back, into my private database (as far as this batch is concerned)

NOTICE

·     This service is currently FREE

·     We should provide a STANDARD EMAIL box where following message will appear & which can be by the subscriber, if so desired.

Edit Your Resume

·     Sometime back you had sent us your resume against one of the vacancies advertised by us.

·     Using the service of Recruitguru.com, we have converted you plain email resume into a structured/ searchable resume.

·     This will help us store it permanently in a database and be able to search / retrieve it in future, in matter of seconds.

·     It is however possible that some fields could not be extracted or where data was missing in your resume.

·     If you want us to consider your application for the vacancy advertised - as also to store it in our database  for future reference - we request you to edit / update your CONVERTED RESUME attached and then upload it back and Recruitguru.com as follows :-

         Step No : 1

         Step NO : 2

         Step No : 3

·     Please ensure that the CAREER HISTORY section is filled - in accurately before uploading.

           (Subscriber Client Name)

       ("   " e- mail ID)

·     By making this service FREE, I want to encourage our subscribers to use it (i.e. Click "YES"), all the time - even though it will impose considerable load on our web server.

       Reason is simple

       Assuming that

·     All subscribers will use this free service, and

·     All candidates will edit & upload their resumes,

·     We will be able to carry out "DATA MINING" of the "CAREER - HISTORY" Section of each edited resume.

This will enable us to capture data & plot following graphical profiles.

·     Salary profile

·     Designation - Level profile

·     Tenure (Length of experience) years profile

·     Once we have data for 50,000 candidates, we will plot therse graphs on our server, DYNAMICALLY and then   "sell" each graph for Rs. 10/ (Viewing & downloading combined)

·     HR/ Recruitment Managers would Simply LOVE these graphs when they

·     Want to compare any particular candidate with entire population (sample - size of graph) to figure - out

·     What salary to offer to him?

·     What Designation to offer to him?

·     Is he a "Job - Jumper" or a "Steady" person?

Want to compare any particular candidate with their OWN / INTERNAL employees (Apple - for - Apple comparison) before making any salary/ designation offer so as not to upset the "Apple - cart"!

And, when you take into account all the variables that we are capturing in Recruitguru, viz.

·     Function     (42)    Age  (20 slabs)

·     Designation (10)     City (200?)

·     Edu - level  (10)    Industry (In course of time)

·     Exp. (years)   (20 slabs)  etc - etc.

then, it is possible to generate MILIONS of unique combinations of graphs (as explained in my earlier notes)!

I have absolutely no doubt what - so - ever, that in course of next 12 months, we will make 10 times more money out of these graphs, than from extraction & search!
