1	Creating distinctly separate database of a Subscriber's own employees	By creating such a database/functional profile graphs of his own employees, a subscriber would be able to compare his own company's "skill-pool" with similar global populations of "comparable" (apple-for-apple) professionals all over the world.	27/02/03
2	Extraction of American style Resumes	This will enable us to tap THE REAL MARKET — the U.S.A. employers and the U.S.A. jobseekers. This is the largest — and quite likely "best paying" market in the world. Our ambition to become #1 Recruitment Webservice of the world, just cannot be realized, unless we are able to capture/dominate U.S.A.
3	Peer-to-Peer Comparison & Competence Profiling	Today, our "percentile-score" compares an executive with entire population (sample) of professionals belonging to some function. This is not an "apple-to-apple" comparison. We should be able to plot, within each FUNCTION, profiles of executives who are of same age/same exp/same Edu. Quals/same Desig. level/same Industry/same City etc-etc. A recruiter should be able to narrow down comparing any given candidate's percentile score to graphical profile of potential persons.	04-03/03 21-08/03
4	Extracting "fields" from Visiting Cards / Business Cards	Standard HW/SW is already commercially available for doing this, so this feature has not much value for us.
5	Functional Profile Graphs of IT Professionals (Skill-wise or Actual Designation-wise graphs)	Since our biggest clients are likely to be IT/ITES companies, we need to break-up function "SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT" into several sub-functional graphs, which are either SKILL-based (eg. VB / C++ / ASP etc) OR these are "Actual Designation" based, such as Developer, Programmer, Analyst, DBA, Network Admin - etc.	17-09-03

6	Extraction of Resumes of Fresh Graduates	‣ ITES industry is booming & expects to add $\approx$ 1 lakh jobs each year. ‣ There is also a 40/50% attrition-rate in this industry. ‣ Main requirement is for FRESH GRADUATES, who are proficient in spoken English (glib talkers). ‣ India produces 2 million (other) graduates each year — apart from 300,000 engineering graduates. ‣ Each "fresh" graduate, sends out (emails) his resume to approx. 100 companies during very first year after graduating (usually thru "Apply Online" from jobsites). ‣ That adds up to 2.5 million x 100 = 250 million resumes of fresh graduates reaching ITES companies. ‣ @ Rs. 5/- per resume-extraction, this adds up to Rs. 125 crore per year!
7	"Image Builders" received from Placement Agencies	Before long, Placement Agencies (who have become our subscribers), will start sending (emailing) ImageBuilder versions of candidates' resumes (along with plain email versions) to their clients. Now, if these corporates also happen to be our subscribers, they may want these ImageBuilders to get uploaded into their own PRIVATE databases on our server. So we need a feature that would permit this. The feature should also permit the Corporate Subscriber to keep "track" of all resumes received from Placement Agencies (whether ImageBuilder or plain email) — placement-agency-wise. After all if a particular candidate gets appointed, Corporate Subscriber must know whom to make payment (which placement agency). Subscriber must also be able to "search" resumes by "Placement Agency Name (source)".

Feature / Application	Why required?	Ref. (My note dt.)
Bounceback ImageBuilder to concerned candidate to EDIT — then directly upload editresume into concerned PRIVATE database	‣ To "complete" database in all respects — esp. "Career History" section. ‣ To be able to plot "Salary Graph" / "Desig. Graph" / "Tenure-graphs" (broken up function-wise / Age-wise / Exp-wise / Industry-wise / City-wise, etc) and offer to recruiters as "PAID" service.
Tool for improving extraction Accuracy (Create Knowledge Base/Logic)	‣ Creation of knowledge-bases is fundamental to Recruitguru's very existence. ‣ It should be an ongoing effort, needing 2/3 human experts in our office. ‣ We should get thousands of Recruiters — and jobseekers too — in creation of knowledge-bases ONLINE (in the form of Business Quiz/Game).	22/08/03
Extraction of "Industry" field	‣ Anjana has already processed 1000 resumes & created knowledge base/Logic. ‣ Index has also allotted "Industry" to some 80,000 companies. ‣ DCA CD also gives "Industry" to some 6.8 lakh companies.
