Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

SOFTWARE SEARCHES WITHOUT BEING ASKED


Nirmit/Mitchelle/Aparna/Archana/Gokul/Reena

Worth trying except that we have very few n/c’s in office running 2000 or XP


Enclosed writ up could have important implications on our

® Headhunting business

® Database creation

If interested in experimenting, I suggest that instead of each one of us separately downloading this freeware, let Reena download it once, and then install it once, and then install it on the PC’s of all those interested in experimenting.

Software Searches Without Being Asked


Windows 2000

Index of the files on your computer’s hard drive. Internet explorer Web browser. Then visit any old website. The program has examined the words on your Web browser’s home page and run them through an algorithm that tries to figure out what you’re reading about. It chooses the words that it deems relevant and submits them to Blink’s Internet search service.

It checks that index to see. If you’ve already got files related to subjects on the page.

Click the preview to read the entire file.

The software also interacts with e-mail messages displayed.

“Implicit query” a computer should implicitly recognize what matters to the user, without having to be told, and use that insight to provide still more useful data.

Pointing out internet resources you never would have noticed.

LEVERAGING JAM

🗺️ Leveraging JAM (Job Adverts/Application Management)

  • Diagram: A mind map centered on WWJ (likely "World Wide Jobs") connected to four entities: Mobile Service Providers (MSP), Corporates, Jobsites, and Candidates.
    • Date: 18-07-04 (19-07-04)
    • (First Agreement I Signed today with BPL) - then held up by BPL since they are not ready for 3/4 months!
  • By and large, WWJ will keep away from "Content-creation" on its own.
  • "Content-creation" is an expensive process and we don't have that kind of money.
  • But, WWJ will have 4 "partners" as shown above. We will try to get each of these partners to give us some "Content".
  • From each (partner), we will try to get some such content, which will be of great use/benefit to some other partner - after, maybe, some "processing".
  • We will do this "processing / Value Addition" as far as possible, automated!
  • After that (Value-addition), we will
    • either try to "sell" such processed content to one-or-more of the other partners (or, even to altogether third parties)
    • OR, we will "exchange" such content with some other content from one/more of the other parties/partners.

Idhar ka Maal Udhar

Udhar ka Maal Idhar ! HERA-PHERI !!

  • This is how we will GROW the content (databases) without having to Invest.
  • Let us now examine, what Content, we can manage to get (for free, of course) from each partner and which other partner would be interested in it (for money or in exchange for some other content).
  • JobSites
    • We are spidering job-adverts from jobsites and processing thru JOB-MINER to create a JOBS DATABASE.
    • In course of time, our attempt would be for jobsites to give us JOBS-DATABASE on their own/willingly/daily, in a directly "usable" manner. If we can succeed
  • in this, we don't need to spider! - and get into possible conflict.
  • The "carrot" that we will offer to the jobsites will be/can be:
    • We "deliver" their job-ads to millions of mobile-phone owners for free. As a result jobsites will get a lot of free publicity. It will help building their "brand".
    • We will offer them free use of "GumAd" software. This will help them attract many more Corporate advertisers
    • We will share with them, say, 10% of whatever revenue-share that we get from different MSPs, whenever, a jobseeker clicks "Apply Online" against one of the job-adverts, received from a given jobsite. This is a new "revenue-stream" which they have not ever thought of!
    • Considering that, they (Jobsites) cannot, in any case, stop us from spidering/downloading job-ads, these carrots should do the trick.
  • How can we leverage the jobs database?
    • To deliver job-alerts to candidates on their mobiles as SMS.
    • Create a "CORPORATE DATABASE" (extracted from job-adverts) and "SELL" it to
      • Candidates
      • Corporates
      • MSPs
      • (Of course, online & automated money collection).
  • Create "JOB MARKET ANALYTICS (GRAPHS)" and "sell" (online) to Newspapers / TV channels etc.
  • Create "Job Descriptions" (for thousands of actual job-titles / vacancy-names / positions, and "sell" these (online on https://www.google.com/search?q=Recruitguru.com) to Corporate HR managers.
  • Send job-alerts to candidates (according to their job-preferences, of course) directly on their "Interactive TV" sets (e.g.: BSNL/ ATLAS Interactive TV, due to be launched by Dec 2004 in Gurgaon and may be to Reliance Broadband (Netway) interactive TV sets, in 2005).
  • Wherever possible, we will partner with a "Delivery / Distribution Channel" as "money-collection agency". We must not get into the "messy" affair of collection.
  • Job Advts database, will also help us in perfecting our "GumAd" software
  • From Job-Advts Database, someday, we may succeed in constructing CORPORATE ORGANISATION CHARTS.
  • Another content that we may someday consider to download from JOBSITES, is RESUMES
    • (For this, we will need to subscribe and pay to jobsites)
  • How can we "leverage" resume-content?
  • Who will want to "Buy"?
  • How can we make money out of this?
  • Hopefully, JAM itself may succeed in building-up a sizable database of Resumes.
  • But it may take a few years to build-up a resume database of 100 million, only thru JAM!
  • We can't wait so long.
  • So, as soon as we can afford, we will "subscribe" to as many jobsites (around the World) as we can, and then get our Spider to download all the resumes, from all those jobsites, in 2/3 months (for each site). No need for more than One Quarter's subscription.
  • This way, we can build-up a resume database of 100 million resumes, may be within ONE year, at, may be, a total cost of Rs. 50 lakhs / 100 lakhs!
  • Next, we will process these 100 million resumes thru our 'GuruMine' and create a structured database (on https://www.google.com/search?q=Recruitguru.com).
  • Next, we will invite all these resume owners to log-in and "edit"
  • their own resumes (Image Builder versions). In exchange, we promise
    • Function Profile
    • Salary Profile
    • Tenure Profile
    • Designation Level Profile
    • Inclusion of their resume, for "Search / Select / Job-advt blasting" by our Corporate clients
  • This last feature "Job Advt blasting" to niche / target jobseekers Group, is where we will make money, by making available to Corporate Job Advertisers, this HUGE database for blasting / forwarding their job-advts (for say, Rs. 1/- each).
  • So, now, a Corporate Employer can, (on https://www.google.com/search?q=RecruitGuru.com),
    • Compose a Job Advt
    • Then search / select NICHE / TARGET group of resume-owners, based on search-parameters, such as:
      • Industry
      • Function
      • City / Country
      • Designation Level
      • (Max) Age
      • (Min) Exp
      • (Min) Edu. Quali
      • (Min) / (Max) Salary etc.
  • Then click button BLAST
  • and, in matter of hours, that job-advt will get delivered to the TARGET group as an email (Rs. 1/- per jobseeker)
    • (Who will collect money & how?)
  • OR
  • as a 160 character SMS on their mobile (in addition to email) (Rs. 5/- per jobseeker)
  • OR
  • as full email job-alert on their home Interactive TV (Rs. 10/- per jobseeker)
  • Possibly all these "options" will be PREPAID / ADVANCE / PAY-PER-USE, on https://www.google.com/search?q=Recruitguru.com
  • We will "debit" the Corporate employer member's ACCOUNT with the usage.
  • In turn, we will pay
    • to MSPs - where job-alert (full advt) has to be delivered on mobile phones (SMS)
    • to Broadband Suppliers (or even Dish TV of ZEE TV - DTH) who will deliver job-alerts (as full advt) on the interactive TV sets of TARGET jobseekers.

ONLINE RECRUITMENT - REDEFINING STRUCTURE

Recruitguru Annexure A

JOB ALERT MOBILE (J A M)

- Where Jobs come searching for YOU.

THE PROBLEM

  • In this jet - set age, where there is a tremendous premium on "time" [ the irreplaceable resource ],

JOB SEARCHING ON YOUR OWN IS IMPOSSIBLE !

INDIAN SCENARIO

  • No. of Jobsites 30+
  • New Jobs posted daily 7,000+
  • Total Online job-posting 150,000+

[on any given day]

WORLD SCENARIO

  • No. of Jobsites 40,000+
  • Total Online job-posting 2,000,000+

[on any given day]

www.world-wide-jobs.com

Recruitguru Annexure A

Even to search for jobs within India, a candidate would need to spend 3/4 hours daily on his personal PC at home or at a cyber café. It also costs a lot of money.

And, at the end of numerous logging in and out, you are not sure that you have gone through all the 7000+ new job adverts posted during the past 24 hours ! In fact, there is no way of ensuring that you have not missed - out on those few "relevant/interesting" jobs !

This is quite like trying to find the needle in the haystack !

And all this while, you have been "immobilized" - glued to your chair.

Surfing of jobsites during office hours is, in any case, out of question, since nearly all companies prevent "access" to jobsites to their employees.

www.world-wide-jobs.com

Recruitguru Annexure A

THE SOLUTION

  • What is therefore urgently required is a "solution" whereby, some 10/20 most "interesting / relevant" jobs (out of over 7000+ posted every 24 hours), are presented to a jobseeker, in a concise form ( -150 character SMS), once - a - day, on his handset as

Job Alert Mobile - JAM

Now the jobseeker is truly "mobile".

Now "jobs come searching for him"

However, our JAM solution does not stop there.

By enabling the candidate to click "Apply Online" on his handset, when he receives a Job Alert SMS, transforms his handset into, a "Transaction Tool" ! Our server will pick up his resume (where he has "pasted" it earlier) and forward it to the concerned job - advertiser.

As simple as that !

This is the ultimate

  • interactivity.
  • mass - customization.
  • convenience.

www.world-wide-jobs.com

Recruitguru Annexure A

THE PROCESS

  • Our "spider" will daily download thousands of job - advertisements, from dozens of job sites from all over the world.
  • Our "Miner" will convert these job - advertisements into a structured database.
  • Our "Matchmaker" will match each of these job advertisements with the "Job Preferences" prescribed by the candidate and shortlist 10/20 most relevant / matching job advertisements, each as a 150 character SMS.
  • Once candidate clicks "Apply Online" on his handset, our "Forwarder" will forward the candidate's resume to the concerned advertiser.
  • These software's are under testing and ready for deployment on any mobile network within 6 / 8 weeks.

JOB ALERT MOBILE (JAM)

- The Harbinger Of Hope

EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGE SCENARIO

  • No. of Employment Exchanges 939
  • No. of persons registered (till date) 420 lakhs

IN 2002

  • Fresh registration 60 lakhs
  • No. of vacancies notified 3 lakhs
  • No. of placement Effected 1.5 lakhs

CONCLUSION

A fresh graduate registering with an employment exchange today must wait for 333 years before being offered a job !

For 3 lakh fresh graduates entering the job market every year, getting daily job - alerts on their mobile phones, offers the only hope of getting a job within a year.

WHERE ARE THE RESUMES ?

Between all major jobsites of India, it is estimated that there are approx.: 20 lakh "unique" resumes (discounting duplicate / multiple postings).

Considering that on an average, an online job advertisement receives 125 email resumes, the total no. of email resumes being received by Corporate job - advertisers is 21 lakh X 125 = 2625 lakh (mostly through clicking on jobsites)

WHAT IS HOLDING BACK ?

  • Corporate advertisers do not KNOW, who / where are the "right" candidates.
  • At least 400 lakh jobseekers (out of 420 lakh) do not KNOW, which / where are the "right" jobs.

There exists an enormous "Info - Chasm" between the two sides.

JAM IS THE BRIDGE !

It stands to reason that,

  • Aggregating those 21 lakh job - advts. (and someday 200 lakhs from all over the world).
  • Delivering these as "Job Alert SMS" to 420 lakh jobseekers on their mobile handsets, is the only practical / feasible way to "bridge" the "Info - Chasm" between the two sides.

Recruitguru Annexure B

THE PROMISE OF JAM

JAM will ensure that those normally 'unfilled' jobs get filled.

When Corporate's find that they are now able to fill almost any vacancy quickly - and with the most suitable candidates -, they will be encouraged to advertise more often. This "rub-on" phenomenon itself will create many more jobs which, otherwise go "unpublicized".

JAM will provide a level - playing field to the rural/ small - town unemployed (- but highly "employable") young people, who were, till now, "Information - Deprived". Till now, expensive newspapers and jobsites are "accessible" to only the rich/ privileged/ urban youth.

JAM will enable highly skilled professionals to cross national boundary.

7 www.world-wide-jobs.com

Recruitguru Annexure B

JAM will generate unprecedented mobility / migration of jobseekers from any part of the country to any other part of the country and thereby, bring about a true "National / emotional integration" of Indian Society. JAM will help in fulfilling a citizen's fundamental right to locate and work in any part of the country!

JAM will cut down, "vacancy - filling" time from weeks to days, because of the unbelievable speed with which job - alerts will reach the right candidates and the speed with which, those right candidates will submit their resumes, through a simple click on their mobile phones.

JAM will dramatically cut down the total cost of hiring.

JAM - in its future versions will transform the e - recruitment scenario beyond recognition, and will become a

Resume Blasting

Most jobsites do this for a small fee-but to a predetermined/fixed no. of: - Placement Agencies - Corporates

WWJ shall not engage in omnibus resume-blasting-but to begin with, will encourage candidates to email their Presentation to thousands of corporates, directly on their own to ensure that "Image Builder" becomes THE INDUSTRY STANDARD.

Resume Alert

I don't think, today, any jobsite offers a feature whereby Corporates receive an ALERT (email or SMS) when a new candidate registering, matches a Company's "CANDIDATE PREFERENCE".

Just like "Job Preference" on WWJ (for candidates), on Recruitguru, We will introduce "Candidate Preference" for Corporates, who will receive CAM (Candidate Alert Mobile) as SMS, once a day, for all new candidates, matching their "Candidate Preferences".

 

Current Industry Structure

Redefined Industry Structure

Job Alert

Most jobsites send job alerts as emails. Half-loop-no interactivity. Need PC/Internet to receive in Mailbox.

WWJ will send job alerts on mobiles (JAM) - as SMS, once-a-day / PUSH. No need for PC/ Internet/wherever you go.

Apply Online

Possible on most jobsites - but after getting job alert email, jobseeker would need to log into concerned jobsite, locate that particular job and then click "Apply Online". This is a clumsy process. Also needs posting resume on several jobsites.

"Apply Online" directly from a candidate's mobile handset - while on the go. No login to any jobsite. Resume need to be posted on only one site Viz. WWJ.com.

Job Blasting

To my best knowledge, no jobsite offers this feature to Employers.

By Dec 2004, Recruitguru (after relaunch) will offer this feature to Corporate "Subscribers/Members". Using (modified) GuruSearch, employer-members, would zero-in a sharply targeted "Candidate - Profile Group" (City wise/agency/ function wise/designation wise etc). Then the employer will instruct/command Recruitguru to email its requirement (job-advt) to this target group as "email". Recruitguru will charge the Member/Employer, Rs. 5/ email per candidate for this, "JOB BLASTING" to the sharply targeted group.

 

Current Industry Scenario

Redefined Industry Structure

Formation of like minded/ co-professionals' Communities for online Chatting-for common problem-solving/help/ guidance

I am not aware of any jobsite which permits/enables registered jobseekers (Members) to form "ONLINE COMMON-CAUSE / COMMON-INTEREST" Communities, amongst willing Members, on a pure "OPT-IN" basis.

As soon as, we have 1 million registered Members, we will enable them to OPT-IN to such communities, based on predefined grouping-Criteria: eg: - Persons belonging to same CITY - "FUNCTION - "INDUSTRY - "DESIGNATION etc. etc

Alliances/ Coalitions/ Networking/ Aggregation

Currently most jobsites are "stand-alone with no exchange of Content - nor any attempt to "leverage" each others' "strengths". Each jobsite's "sphere of influence" is limited by its own "REACH" (No. of Visitors/No. of Members). There are a few exceptions (like: - Flipside - acting as - Employment 9-11 - "aggregators" (some - Direct employers - with permission/some - Grassroot level - without).

On "Content-Supply" side, we will either spider (download) job advts. from various jobsites or get them to send us their DAILY NEW POSTINGS, as email database, in return for "free" licensing of: - GuruAd - GuruMine (May be pulled as XML from WWJ/Recruitguru). On "Content- Delivery" side, we will enter into agreements with all kinds of DELIVERY CHANNELS (only DISTRIBUTION NETWORK) such as: - Mobile Service Providers - DTH TV Channels (to create a Job Channel) - Interactive TV Channels (to apply online thru remote) etc.

Rewriting Industry Rules

Rules on traditional Jobsites are:

Corporates

Resume Search Again & Again? Job Advt Post & Wait & Wait

Replace Resume Search with "Job Broadcasting" to a sharply targetted Group. Let Candidates come searching for You! Replace Job Search with onetime submitting (on one site) - Resume - Job Preferences } on WWJ. Let jobs come searching for you!

Jobseekers

Resume Post on many jobsites Jobs Search on many jobsites

 

Current Industry Scenario

Redefined Industry Structure

Discontinuities

Following technologies, already Stabilized: - Online (Internet) - E-mails (for Job alerts) -

On the horizon: - SMS Job alert (partial introduction by Naukri but no tie-up with mobile service provider - Takes 4 SMS to complete "Apply Online") - SMS "Apply online" (use of Mobile Devices) - MMS - Photo of candidate/Small video clip - Full Interviewing thru Mobile Handset/PDA - Full Interviewing thru Interactive TV - In India Video Interviewing at Cybercafes - CAM - Candidate Alert Mobile - Interview-call SMS - Remote working from home (Free Agents) - Temporary staffing (instead of own employees) - Outsourcing (instead of people moving, jobs will move to where people are) - Broadband Reaching all homes & offices - Software Agents Each employer & each jobseeker will create an "online" alter-ego of himself, with decision-rules/business-rules/bargaining & negotiating rules embedded into these Agents. These Agents will "negotiate" amongst themselves and keep ready CONTRACTS which will get "activated" as & when desired by both the parties. These (Firms) which cannot/will not create such new form of "Intermediation" will not survive! They will, themselves stand "DISINTERMEDIATED".

 

Current Industry structure

Redefined Industry structure

Revenue Model

All jobsites, derive almost all of their revenues from Corporate - clients. 90% from Resume Search, 10% from Job Advt- Posting.

WWJ will completely turn the existing revenue-model (of jobsites) upside down! WWJ will derive all of its revenue from jobseekers only & Nil from corporates.

There is practically NIL revenue from jobseekers. Jobseekers are encouraged to post their resumes (to enlarge resume database) - Which, in turn, attracts employers to "Subscribe" for resume-search. Corporates also "Subscribe" for job-adv posting. Both types of subscriptions are time-based (Monthly/Quarterly/Annual) with unlimited usage.

And the model will be "Pay-per-use" ( for every incoming & outgoing SMS) instead of "Time-related". Basis: - Jobseekers will always outnumber the available jobs, 1000:1 (Hence our revenue-model has a One thousand times leverage-competitive advantage). - For a jobseeker, getting (or not getting) a job, is a matter of LIFE (or of death). For a recruitment manager, filling or not filling a vacancy, does not have the same connotations. - When there are less/few jobs, many more jobseekers will apply against each. If no. of available jobs go up, even then no. of "Apply Online" clicks go up! - Corporates could affect a particular jobsite's revenues if they switch over to another jobsite. In case of WWJ, as long as we remain the only content-provider, It does not matter, If a jobseeker dumps BPL and switches over to TATA, as long as he continues using JAM!

 

Current Industry Structure

Redefined Industry Structure

Revenue Model

Once a Corporate has filled-up a vacancy, he is not going to re-advertise same vacancy against again! - as long as that post remains filled.

Even after getting a job, a jobseeker will continue his search for a "better" job - during his entire career. He may even keep "applying" to find out what is his current "market-value", so that he can renegotiate his salary! And every 2/3 years, he will genuinely Wish to make a move. Hence a Jobseeker is a permanent, life-time "customer" & therefore a better source of "sustained" revenue. Problem (faced by all jobsites) Was "How to collect hundreds of micro-payments from each jobseeker, on a "Pay-per-use" basis, especially in India, where even Credit-cards are rare?" We are solving this problem by tying-up with mobile-service providers, who will collect the payments and pass on our share to us. BUT, we will also make money from Corporates! - we will relaunch https://www.google.com/search?q=Recruitguru.com (may be by Dec. 2004). - Then write to Corporates that, they can upload their Image Builder resumes (received thru JAM) on Recruitguru, FREE-OF-COST. - But, having created their own/private/secure resume databases on Recruitguru, they will need to pay us for conducting Resume Search using Guru Search. On Recruitguru, we will also introduce following "Pay-Per-Use" services for Corporates: Send out Interview-calls (Email or SMS) Broadcast their JOBS to target-jobseekers (Job Blasting) Create Job Advts. thru GuruAd View "Salary Profiles" / Designation Profile / Tenure Profiles / Population Profiles of millions of JAM Subscribers (Rs. 100/profile) Receive CAM - Candidate Alert Mobiles.

Telemarketing

Despite having sizable databases of resumes (Candidates), no jobsite, currently allows marketers to use this database, for sending promotional emails/SMS, to "Target/Niche" groups.

Our "Terms" (to jobseekers registering for JAM), says that the job-seekers agree to receive promotional emails/SMS, from us or from our "Associates". We will permit/enable, any Corporate (or any other political/social/business organisation or professional body or a trade body), to: Frame/Formulate an email/SMS message on WWJ. Thru "Search", create a "Demographic Profile" of candidates in our JAM database. Then "Blast/Broadcast" their promotional message to this target group, using our email server/SMS server, and pay us Re. 10/ per message. For them this will be - for cheaper than any other media - since the recipients are sharply "targetted". And, for this, we don't need any Mobile-Service Provider! We will ask the concerned marketer, to first deposit the amount on WWJ thru e-payment process and then only render the service.
