JOBSEEKER'S REPUTATION TENURE PROFILE

15-09-04

STUCK TOO LONG?

OR

A JOB-JUMPER?

From a modern HR manager's point of view, both kinds of candidates are

UNDESIRABLE.

Obviously, if an executive is

in Same Company for 20 years

OR

at Same "Desig. level" for 10 years (maybe even 5!)

then, there is something WRONG!

Similarly, if a guy has changed 8 jobs in 12 years, then too, there is something (terribly) wrong! How long will he stay with us?

But then,

What is too long or too short?

These "concepts/ideas" tend to become "too subjective" and vary from one HR manager to another.

Why do these tend to become subjective?

Ans: Absence of Data with which to compare a person.

Of course, availability of "Comparable Data," by itself, does not make all HR managers,

ABSOLUTELY OBJECTIVE,

but, their "subjectivity" gets reduced to a considerable extent.

Problem is

When an HR manager is going thru a resume, it becomes very difficult for him to figure out,

When exactly that person joined & left each company and how long did he work at each place

What was his longest "duration" & his shortest duration and with which Companies.

What was his "Ave" duration

How many jobs did he change during his career.

The great advantage of ImageBuilder is that, it presents all such data about a candidate in a very NEAT/CONCISE/CHRONOLOGICAL format.

This format is very easy to grasp.

It also enables an HR manager to reach QUICK CONCLUSIONS, as to

Is this fellow a "Below Average" plodder?

OR

a "Over-Ambitious" job-jumper?

NOW, on top of this handy tabulation, if we also present to an HR Mgr,

TENURE PROFILE

(see enclosure),

It would enable HR mgr. to look at this candidate in TOTAL PERSPECTIVE,

—in relation to other comparable executives.

NOW, an HR manager has a TOOL to

Take quick decision (Call or not call?)

justify decision taken (If Boss questions!).

With TENURE PROFILE, I feel HR mgrs. would INSIST on ImageBuilders only!

TENURE PROFILE

How does my job-duration compare with others, as on

Following is my job-duration Data:

Employer	From	To	Duration (in years)

My Average Duration [ ]

Chart Title	Population	Data Points
Group Profile : All Executives	Population $= 19342$	Longest Duration: [ ] yrs Shortest Duration: [ ] yrs Median Duration: [ ] yrs
Group Profile : Executives from same FUNCTION	Population $= 2816$	Longest: [ ] yrs Shortest: [ ] yrs Median: [ ] yrs
Group Profile : Executives from same FUNCTION & DESIG. LEVEL.	Population $= 349$	Longest: [ ] yrs Shortest: [ ] yrs Median: [ ] yrs

 

(Note: Each chart is a frequency distribution showing "% of Executives" on the y-axis vs. "Duration (Years)" on the x-axis, centered roughly between 4-5 years, representing the "Group Profile" data listed in the table.)
