Resume Downloader - "Guru Grab"

  • Rajeev expects to come/install this tool (on the desktops of Consultants) during early this week.
  • The tool is meant to download resumes from Monsterindia.com and it is configured for our HR/swl/database etc. It will not work on any other config (unless customised).
  • To begin with 3P/Strategic HR Consultants may use this tool. After a week Thakur/Mitchelle should give feedback to Rajeev (thru Rahul). Good or bad feedback – including suggestions to modify to increase the productivity of Consultants still further.
  • Since 3P/Strategic HR would like to start sending to their clients “PROFILES” (developed on IndiaRecruiter), of candidates, rather than sending...

 

Here is the transcribed text from the second image:


“Converted Brodatas” (prepared by Vittal),
3P/Strategic HR would need to advise (i.e., thru email) some/few candidates to go/submit their resumes on

www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Draft of such an email is at ANNEX A


  • Initially 3P/Strategic HR may send such email selectively to a few shortlisted candidates whose resumes RESUME DOWNLOADER has downloaded.
  • But, after a couple of weeks, this email (ANNEX A) will be “hardcoded” into RESUME DOWNLOADER. Thereafter this email will automatically go out to each & every candidate whose resume gets downloaded using DOWNLOADER (i.e., as soon as it gets downloaded).

Thereafter, there will be no “choice”!

  • Idea behind this (automatic email) is to use RESUME DOWNLOADER tool to market IndiaRecruiter.net
  • This is how:

 

Here is the transcribed text from the third image:


I propose to give away FREE, this Resume Downloader Tool, to all the subscribers of MonsterIndia (maybe more than 10,000?).

These subscribers would be:

  • End Employers (8000?)
  • Placement Agencies (2000?)
  • Headhunters (150?)

All of them have the same problem, viz:

Quickly download resumes (of suitable candidates) from MonsterIndia, without tying up a lot of scarce recruitment executives, all thru the day. They also face the problem of limited no. of licenses.


By using Resume Downloader, their productivity will go up several fold!
It will give the Placement Agencies a "Competitive Advantage" as compared to those Agencies which do NOT use this tool.


But then, in this world, there is no such thing as
FREE LUNCH!

You end up paying, one way or the other!

 

Here is the transcribed text from the fourth image:


So, those Corporates / Placement Agencies who wish to get this tool (for FREE), must accept that from their email ID, email messages (ANNEX A) will go out.

In return for FREE tool, they have to undertake some publicity for IndiaRecruiter.

No secret – we will tell them upfront.


But imagine the consequences if and when 1000 Corporates / Placement Agencies start using this tool, to download, everyday, 100,000 (only 100 resumes/day/user) resumes from Monster.

Now, everyday, 1 Lakh candidates get the message to go / register on IndiaRecruiter!

i.e. 3 million / month
  36 million / year


Fantastic FREE publicity!

Suddenly, IndiaRecruiter gets a salesforce of
1000 Reputed Salesmen!


If this does come about, is it likely that MonsterIndia may find a way to BLOCK access to the...

 

Here is the transcribed text from the fifth image:


Resume Downloader?
You bet!

I suppose, technically, such “blocking” should be quite easy.

But, what might that do to MonsterIndia, commercially, in terms of 1000 HR mgrs / Recruiters who will view such attempts on part of Monster as “monstrous / negative / customer unfriendly / retrograde / aimed at making customer life difficult / aimed at lowering customer productivity / mean / outright harmful” etc. etc.?

And, instead of 1000 users, if there were to be 10,000 users of tool?

Here is the transcribed text from the sixth image (Annex A):

LOGIC ( RULES)

Generally Speaking the designations follows the Name of the executives. It follows the name IMMEDIATELY unless age is inserted after the name alternatively

Name ( of an executives) PRECEEDS his designation.

Generally speaking, VERB precedes the NAME

Quite often executive age ( in numerals) appears AFTER the NAME.

Almost always the name of the organization (company) FOLLOWS ( but not necessarily immediately) the name of the Executives or the name of the organisation.

Almost always the name of the organisation is dropped / left out during REPEAT REFRENCES for an executive name.

When the name of an execuitves appears in an article for the FIRST TIME, it is either in two Words ( e.g. Rahul Bajaj / Sarab Mistry / Adi Godrej)

OR with INITIALS (e.g. A.C.Bhargava / S.P. Hinduja / V. Kurien / S.M.Datta)

When the name of an executive is repeated,it is usually truncated as e.g. Suri Misra / oBeroi Gaur Hari/ Ranganathan Ramapali / Chand Ajit/ Shriram Datta / Mohan singh Chopra)

A quote almost always a part of the sentence containing

-          Exce. Name

-          Exec. Designation

-          Company Name

 

Abbreviations are frequently resorted to in the Designations E.G. CEO VP / MD / CMD

Name of Companies

ITC Nirma J & N

NDDB

SEBI

Siel

Eicher

ICICI NICCO

Greaves

Mukund Jindal

Essar

Almost always a comma follows an executives name.

How to Harvest Senior Executive Names from  www.domin-b.com / People on the move

We talked about this yesterday

WE can develop a tool / spider, which visits domin-b website daily and automatically downloads name of senior executives & places these in a Non- Member Database Comprising

Executive Name

Designation

Name of Company

These data can, thereafter, become searchable in Non-Member search tool already available.

Possibly such a Name Harvester can also work on many other website- which regularly report Executives Track / Executive Movement / People on the move etc.

We will need to develop suitable Logic for harvesting. Such a logic will be somewhat similar to the logic developed by us earlier for HARVESTER, where we try to find word, preceding or succeeding other words such as

Says

Said according to

To help us develop such a logic please get somebody to enter in enclosed sheet data gleaned from domain b for at least 100 instances. In enclosed sheet, I have shown how this data should be complied. You may wish to compile such data, directly in an Excel sheet & then email to Rahul.

Based on your inputs, we will develop the logic/tool & test it. Even if the Name Harvester Manages to extract correctly, 80% of the times, it will increase our productivity manyfold. Such a tool could be your competitive advantages over other Head-hunters.

How soon can you provide inputs?

You may also provide Rahul with a list of websites where he could test this tool.

Rajeev has promised to visit us tomorrow to install Resume Downloader
