INCENTIVE SCHEME FOR 2005/06 THRU 2008/09

27 March 2005

Nirmit/Raju,

INCENTIVE SCHEME FOR 2005/06 THRU 2008/09

·     Please see enclosed calculations for the next 4 Years.

·     From the graphs, it is clear that if the present trend/pattern of

-    Net Collections

-    Total Salaries

-    Total of (Salaries + Incentives + Bonus)

Continues as they have during past 4 years, then our

Employee Cost / Net Collection = Ratio

Will keep getting worse & worse. It has already deteriorated

From 23.75% in 2001/02

To      ……..?  in 2004/05

If this trend continues 3P will close down in 2/3 years.

Hence this trend MUST be reversed and brought back to
20% by 2008-09

I realize that this figure cannot be achieved in one year. So, I am setting following targets

Year                     Employee cost/Net Collection=Ratio

2005/06                 29%

2006/07                 26%

2007/08                 23%

2008/09                 20%

These targets are NOT debatable.

Now,

How can we go about achieving these targets?

We can

·     Reduce Employee Cost alone   -      Not Possible

·     Let Employee cost rise at a moderate rate but Raise Net collections 

dramatically           -      Possible and most Workable thru, increased
                              employee productivity. 

Once, We limit/Restrict “Employee Cost” as a certain percentage of Net collection, we have following scenario:

                Employee Coast (for a given year)
Fixed Component (Salaries)            Variable Component
                                                (Bonus +Incentive)
Obviously, the first “claimant” is

-    Fixed component (i.e. Salaries)

If, after paying salaries, any surplus amount is left, that would go to pay the Bonus/Incentives.

So, if there is no “Surplus, then there is no Gonus/ Incentive.
This CARDINAL RULE must be made abundantly clear/transparent to all employees in writing

In case there is a “SURPLUS” then how that amount should get distributed amongst all employees (consultants + support staff), you may decide, using some formula which is

-    Transparent

-    Known in advance

-    Equitable to all employees.

If you wish to make some more projection (of employee cost/Net collections/No. of employees etc etc.)

Feel free to do so, without violating “RATIOS mentioned earlier.

I await your proposal.

  • Why Pay-Per-Use ?
  • Why Web-Service ?

    • FAQ

GuruMantra

We are an organization specializing in developing and deploying Human Resource Management software specializations, as “Pay-Per-Use” Webservices, using Microsoft’s .net technology.

Our model of “Kal-Chakra” (The Wheel of Time) has evolved from the following eternal concepts:

  • Time - Space continuum controls all human interactions, past, present & future.
  • Like entropy, human knowledge keeps growing with every human interaction
  • Biological evolution is mirrored into digital evolutions.
  • “Laws of Probability” govern occurrences of all events, involving humans.
  • There were, definite and discernible patterns in human behavior (thought / Speech / action) triggered by past & present interactions with other humans, leading upto statistically significant “predictions” of future behaviors.

Based on these “Panch-Mantras” (Five Tenets), Our Kal-Chakra will envelop the following elements / players of Human Resource Management:

  • Jobseekers (Resumes / Skills)
  • Recruiters (Job - Advts / Needs)
  • Gurus (Knowledge Bases of Experts)
  • HR Managers (Personnel Policies & Procedures)
  • Computer Networks (Collaborative Processing)
  • Communication Networks (Voice/Data/Image / text transfers)

Our Webservice will capture & accumulate the collective wisdom of millions of users / subscribers (much like a blackhole in space), and decipher “patterns” to predict the probability of congruence between a given job-position and a specific candidate.

Towards this end, we have already built formidable “Knowledge Bases” of

Functions

Skills

Attitudes

Attributes

Tasks

Job Descriptions

Keywords

Edu. Qualifications

Corporates

Jobseekers

Designations etc.

Our software applications ensure that, every time, any recruiter / jobseeker conducts any “transaction” on our Webservice, these “Knowledge-Bases” keep growing / expanding automatically, and re-configure the underlying patterns and compute fresh “Weightages”.

What we must not leave unsaid is that, the more the usage of our webservice by ever-growing number of jobseekers & recruiters, the more, all of them stand to benefit.

 



BUSINESS MODEL REVENUE MODEL


BUSINESS MODEL / REVENUE MODEL

BM/1

RecruitGum proposes to adopt following business model :

A. Corporates & Jobsites

RecruitGum will make available to Corporates (end–employers), Placement Agencies (middlemen) and to Jobsites its GumMine / GumSearch software applications through a licensing agreement.

These softwares/applications will be installed on the local servers of the “licensees”.

For use of these softwares/applications, licensees will pay to RecruitGum (the licensor) a certain amount for each resume processed (extracted) through GumMine, subject to a minimum monthly charge. Once a day/month, all resumes extracted are uploaded onto RecruitGum’s webserver. The webserver estimates the number of resumes processed during the month, based on which RecruitGum will invoice the concerned licensee.

This arrangement, being a “pay-per-use” and “pay-when-use”, is ideally suited for small/medium enterprises, which are most reluctant to make a heavy upfront investment (often running into lakhs of rupees), for a software application whose utility/usefulness/benefits are vague and unknown at the time of purchase.

BM/2

Since, in our case, there is no upfront payment for these softwares (except for a small installation/activation charge), the licensee’s RISK is absolutely minimum.
He pays only if he benefits using these softwares. And he is certainly not going to use these unless he sees/feels clear benefits in using it!

Again, a licensee only pays for extraction (i.e., GumMine) of each resume.

A licensee gets to use GumSearch (search software) absolutely FREE! So, even if he stops using GumMine, he still gets to use GumSearch absolutely FREE.

Everytime RecruitGum introduces a new version of GumMine (GumSearch), it will intimate the licensee, who can then download the latest version from RecruitGum.com, upon payment of a nominal “UPGRADE” charge.

BM/3

Since a licensee’s resume database resides on his own local server, he has no worry/fear of “unauthorised access” from a third party. He can install his own data-security measures! This will vastly increase the acceptance-level of GumMine/GumSearch amongst the licensees.

Once again, by making our recommended “pay-per-use”, at a very nominal charge per resume extracted, and by not having any upfront fee/charge, we hope to increase its acceptance amongst a large no. of small/medium size companies whose daily processing may not be 100–150 resumes. Even they would find it very economical to install/use GumMine/GumSearch.

We believe, GumMine/GumSearch will be of considerable importance to Placement Agencies & Jobsites who are constantly on lookout for better ways to satisfy their Corporate clients.

In relation to Placement Agencies and Jobsites (which deliver to their Corporate clients, plain text / unstructured / unformatted resumes), these placement agencies/jobsites which deliver ImageBuilder version of resumes to their clients, would gain a distinct “Competitive Advantage.”

BM/4

By delivering ImageBuilder resumes, they would be:

→ Vastly reducing their clients’ recruitment cycle & cost
→ Increasing the productivity & performance of the HR dept
→ Increasing the “throughput”
→ Improving the “decision-making”
→ Enhancing the “quality” of appointments.

Such a “Value-Added-Service” on the part of placement agencies & jobsites, would be greatly appreciated by their Corporate clients, which, in turn, would bring for them, more clients & more revenue.

BM/5

B. Jobseekers

RecruitGum’s vehicle for serving millions of jobseekers is:

World-Wide-Jobs.com (WWJ)

Through WWJ, RecruitGum plans to deliver latest/relevant job-alerts to jobseekers, as SMS on their mobiles.

Not only that, WWJ will enable a jobseeker to “Apply Online” against any such SMS directly from his mobile and from wherever he happens to be, WITHOUT NEEDING A PC / INTERNET!

“Supply-chain”

WWJ is downloading thousands of job-ads everyday (only those posted during last 24 hours) from dozens of jobsites.

By “aggregating” job-ads from dozens of jobsites, WWJ has neatly solved its “supply-chain” logistics and completely automated the “process.”

In long-term, WWJ will enter into “Strategic Alliances” with major jobsites, under a UNIQUE, database exchange program.

BM/6

DELIVERY / DISTRIBUTION

→ For delivering job-alerts to candidates, WWJ is in the process of tying-up (MSP) with all the mobile service providers of India.
The job-alert SMS will get delivered thru MSPs who will charge their subscribers for MO (mobile-originated) as well as MT (mobile-terminated) SMS.

→ MSPs will share their revenue with WWJ.

→ Since MSPs are keeping for themselves a major share of the JAM SMS revenue, they will on their own carry out all marketing / selling / promotional activities.
WWJ will not be required to spend anything on these activities.

→ MSPs will also take care of all accounting / billing / payment collection activities for this value-added service to their mobile subscribers.
This means WWJ will not be burdened by these and will not need to spend any effort/money on these activities.

BM/7

In course of time, we plan to extend WWJ / JAM activity to other English-speaking countries such as USA / UK / Canada / Australia etc., by tying-up with the mobile service providers of those countries.

At present, India has a mobile subscriber base of 50 million. By end of 2007, this figure is expected to cross 200 million.

It is also very clear that in the next 5 years, a smart mobile phone will be very common and will become THE DEVICE OF CHOICE for a consumer conducting all of his e-commerce transactions!
Mobile phones will make deep inroads into companion shopping for not only goods but also for services.

For a jobseeker, SMS job-alerts are a kind of “comparison shopping” and the ultimate convenience.
The ability to “apply online” from one’s mobile, is bound to make the old (traditional) jobsearch (on dozens of jobsites) DEAD!

For millions of jobseekers, WWJ / JAM will become their JOB-NIRVANA.

 








SOLUTIONS

SOLUTIONS

To solve the problems (listed under "Problem Statement"), Recruit Guru (a sister-concern of 3P Consultants) have come up with following solutions:

A. https://www.google.com/search?q=RecruitGuru.com

An AI Intelli Software hosted on this "Webservice" (website), creates a structured database from millions of plain text resumes and renders these (resumes) "Searchable".

The Software also automatically creates graphical "Function Profiles" for each resume/candidate - something that no commercially available extraction software, is able to do!

GuruMine and GuruSearch are the main components of this "pay-per-use" webservice.

B. https://www.google.com/search?q=World-Wide-Jobs.com

A few jobsites do send job-alerts to registered candidates, as emails.

However, these email alerts

Suffer from following "disadvantages":

  • A jobseeker must find a PC and log onto internet, to be able to "Access" these email alerts. Most candidates do not get access to their "private" email IDs. from their offices and can access their email job-alerts only from home or from a Cybercafe - a great inconvenience.
  • A jobseeker must register with a large no. of jobsites to receive email job-alerts, to ensure that he does not miss-out on interesting jobs. But then, all jobsites do NOT offer email job-alert feature!
  • From an email job-alert, a candidate cannot "Apply Online", so, once again, he must log-into all those jobsites, one-by-one!
  • Most jobsites match a job-advt against a candidate's resume and throw-up "Irrelevant" job-alerts. These jobsites have no mechanism to match jobs against a jobseeker's "Preferences".
  • Many job-alerts are against "old/obsolete/stale" jobs; which are already filled-up, long-time back! So jobseeker's time/effort are wasted.

https://www.google.com/search?q=World-Wide-Jobs.com overcomes all these limitations/disadvantages and delivers to a candidate,

  • Relevant job-alerts (matched with his job-preferences)
  • Fresh job-alerts (against job-advts posted on jobsites during last 24 hours)
  • Many job-alerts (by aggregating job-advts from many jobsites)
  • Fast job-alerts (within hours of posting)
  • Convenient job-alerts (by delivering as SMS on their mobile phones, wherever candidate happens to be)
  • Facility to "Apply Online" directly from his mobile-phone, with a single "send" click.

 





PROBLEM STATEMENT

Background Statistics

PROBLEM STATEMENT

  • India has over 100 million jobseekers - 44 million of whom are registered with some 945 Govt. Employment Exchanges.
  • In 2003, employment exchanges could place only 1.5 lakh registered jobseekers.
  • Some 2 million jobseekers are registering with the Employment Exchanges every year.
  • 17.2% of those registered are graduates.
  • Of India's workforce, some 7 million are in the "Organised" sector.
  • Some 850,000 professionals are working in the IT/ITES sector.
  • Manpower requirement in IT/ITES/BPO Sector is growing at the rate of 30% per year and expected to reach 5 million by the year 2012.
  • The churn-rate in BPO sector ranges between 60%-90% (Last year, Spectramind's annualized churn-rate was 90%).
  • Some 3 million students graduate from Indian colleges each year, of which, approx. 300,000 are engineering professionals.
  • Churn-rate in IT sector ranges between 15% - 25%.
  • Company like Infosys, last year received ONE MILLION email resumes against their various job-advts! Processing such a huge volume of resumes, to short-list a few thousand for interviewing to ultimately appoint 12,000, is getting to be a nightmare for Recruitment managers everywhere.
  • Between April & Dec 2004, WIPRO made 40,000 employment offers!
  • In his budget speech, Mr. Chidambaram said, "IT Sector, by 2009, will offer an additional 7 million jobs".
  • Major Indian Jobsites (Monster/Naukri/JobsAhead/Jobstreet etc), between them, claim to have resume database of 7/9 million professionals. Discounting duplicates, this could be 5/6 million.
  • Major Indian Jobsites, between them boast of
    • 250,000 job-postings database
    • 10,000 NEW job-postings DAILY (—although many are repeated day-after-day!).
    • 15,000 corporate clients.

Problem Statement

Recruitment problem consists of:

  • Overall, the problem boils down to
    • Matching the RIGHT candidates with jobs which are RELEVANT to their skills/functional competence
    • Doing this "match-making", not only very fast (to shorten the recruitment cycletime to a matter of few days), but to do it,
      • accurately
      • automatically
      • reliably
      • consistently
    • Delivering the Relevant job-alerts to the Right candidates, as soon as Vacancies arise (job-broadcasting in realtime) and not passively wait for candidates to conduct "jobsearches" on jobsites, to perhaps "chance-upon" a relevant job!
  • Any "product/service" that can carry-out the above-mentioned tasks efficiently/electronically/automatically, would be in high demand and wholeheartedly embraced/adopted by both
    • Job-seekers
    • Recruiters.

GURUMINE

Profiles

The Resume Analytics

Sample Profiles

How and Why?

Dear Jobseeker / HR manager / Headhunter:

The very first thing you want to know is

  • What is “Profiles”? How is it different from a plain text resume?
  • How do Profiles get generated?
  • How do Profiles help – a jobseeker – a HR manager – a headhunter?

A detailed explanation will take many pages – but here are brief answers:

What is Profiles? How is it different from a plain text resume?

A text resume contains lots of data/facts, which are quite often difficult to locate/pinpoint and even more difficult to grasp within a short time. Ours software "reads" these data/facts and presents the same to you in a GRAPHICAL manner (Knowledge Presentation), making it very easy for you to understand within a matter of seconds. You may say, “Profiles are Personnel Analytics”. We say, “Profiles are the new currency of recruitment”.

How do Profiles get generated?

 Education Profile ( GuruMantra ) / Career Track

These graphs are generated based on the data furnished by a jobseeker in the “Submit Resume” form. These are “Stand-Alone” charts (without any comparison with other registered candidates)

 Tenure Profile / Salary Profile

Here you find “frequency distribution curves” of all the candidates registered with us. The data of the candidate whose Profiles you are looking at, is super-imposed on the curve. This brings out his/her “relative standing” within the population.

For “Tenure Profile”, we are super-imposing, that candidate’s current tenure (i.e. for how many years is he/she working in the current job?). Similarly in “Salary Profile”, we use his/her salary in the current job.

We expect/presume that the candidates will come back and edit their data, at least once-a-year, to ensure that his/her Profiles remain up-to-date. Editing more frequently will only ensure accurate presentation.

Profiles: The new currency of Recruitment. Issued by, www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Profiles

The Resume Analytics

Note

For the moment, “Salary Profile”, takes into account candidates who are at the same designation-level (i.e. Senior level/Middle level/Junior level etc.). Before long, “Salary Profiles” will only compare those candidates

  • who are at same Designation-level, and
  • who belong to same “Function”, and
  • who belong to same “Industry”

In a similar way, as far as “Tenure Profile” graph is concerned, we will present separate graphs for frequency distribution of

  • tenures during FIRST jobs
  • tenures during SECOND jobs
  • tenures during THIRD jobs
  • tenures during CURRENT jobs etc etc.

This will give a true “Apple-for-Apple” comparison.

 Function/Industry Profiles

These, perhaps, are the most intriguing (and the most valuable!) of all the Profiles! Writing a logic for these was not easy. We had to literally mimic the way the brain of a Recruiter deciphers the meaning/the context/the importance, of each & every word in the resume. That helped us figure-out the level of \bullet Knowledge \bullet Skills \bullet Expertise, of the concerned candidate, and then assign a “Raw Score”. Having done that, computing “Percentile” was relatively straight forward.

But, a human being (-and therefore his/her resume) is not a binary phenomenon (Yes / No – Black/White – True/False).

A living person is many splendoured, with varying degrees of skills/expertise in many areas/subjects/functions. So our algorithm measured these and assigned scores on three top functions. This enables a recruiter to evaluate each candidate on more than one function – (what any good recruiter does all the time – except subconsciously).

Profiles: The new currency of Recruitment. Issued by, www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Profiles

The Resume Analytics

Currently “Function Profiles” compare all executives belonging to the same Function, ignoring their “Designation Levels” (Senior/Middle/Junior). As soon as we accumulate sufficient data, we will differentiate and display graphs for executives belonging to same function and who are at the same designation-level. This will give a better comparison.

How do Profiles help?

 If you are a Jobseeker

  • Now you know where you stand (along several dimensions), vis-a-vis other similar professionals. You can compare yourself with others. Afterall we live in a competitive/relative world.
  • Profiles will get noticed by Recruiters – and get read. You cannot say the same for a plain text resume. When you send Profiles, you increase your chance of being called for interview. Of course, you will enjoy this “Competitive Advantage” only so long as other candidates continue to send plain text resumes!

 If you are a HR Manager

  • You can glance at – and comprehend – 200 Profiles in a day (- but no more than 20 plain text resumes in same time! – a productivity gain of 1000 percent!)
  • You vastly improve the “Quality” of your hiring decisions, when you insist upon Profiles. You are unlikely to make a mistake.
  • And if you decide to interview job-applicants using (When we launch Interactive Interview Tool/IIT in the next few weeks), you will have online access to over 160,000 job-knowledge related interview questions, specifically linked to the keywords / skills/knowledge/expertise \ldots mentioned in a candidate’s resume [-increasing your productivity by 10, 000 percent!

 If you are a Headhunter

  • If you send Profiles to your Corporate Clients, but your competitor sends plain text resumes, then your candidates are likely to get called for interview / get appointed.
  • When you send Profiles (instead of plain text resumes) to your Corporate Client, you are making a real “Value Addition”, instead of acting like a postman.

Profiles: The new currency of Recruitment. Issued by, www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Profiles

The Resume Analytics

all, you are getting paid for “adding value” to a Client’s recruitment process. That is your client’s main reason for outsourcing!

  • One important “Value Addition” that your corporate Client expects you to make, is to ensure that the resumes you send are not faked/fudged.
  • In Profiles, it is very difficult for a candidate to fake/fudge his resume (although not impossible). Any anomaly/gaps (in Edu. Qualifications/Years of experience/Designation levels etc.) get transparently highlighted in respective graphs.
  • You will be able to catch such lapses (inadvertent or deliberate) immediately – which is, always, much better than your Corporate client discovering these !
  • When you insist on Profiles, you save a lot of embarrassment. Your corporate client will not call back to say,
    • Why did you send me resumes of candidates with poor/mediocre subject – knowledge? [Function Profiles/KarmaScope]
    • Why did you send me resumes of guys who are already drawing more salary than what I indicated to you? [Salary Profile]
    • Why did you send me resumes of job-jumpers? Contented Cows? [Tenure Profile / Career Profile]
    • Why did you send me resumes of “Slow-learners”? Semi-literate? [Education Profile]
    • Why did you send me resumes of candidates who took 20 years to become “Manager”? [Career Track]
    • Why did you send me resumes of candidates who have only worked in small companies/small towns? [Experience Table]

Unanswered Questions ?

Dear HR Manager / Headhunter

You always had many questions to a candidate during a personal interview.

But unless you made meticulous notes on the candidate’s text resume printout beforehand, you tend to forget ( to ask ), quite a few.

And, unfortunately, the text resume itself cannot answer your questions !

Whereas, a “Profiles”, not only raises relevant questions, our graphical / relational presentations, even answers most.

Listed below, are these questions that “Profiles” asks – and answers too !

Career History

  • What is his total experience ? Does this match with the experience required for our position/vacancy ?
  • During this “total experience”, how many jobs has he changed ?
  • Does he seem to be a “job-jumper” ?
  • Does he seem to have stuck to the same organisation for a long time ? What could be the reason ?
  • Does he seem to have stuck at the same “Designation – Level “ for a long time ? Was he “un-promotable” ?
  • He seems to have got very frequent promotions /salary-raise. Does he come through as a “Fast Track” candidate ?

Profiles: The new currency of Recruitment. Issued by, www.IndiaRecruiter.net

The Resume Analytics

  • Given his “Average/Longest/Minimum” tenure with the companies where he worked, how long can we expect him to stay with us ?
  • He is in his current job for less than a year. Why is he keen to quit within such a short period?
  • Is he platueing? i.e. rose very rapidly in early years but now seems to have slowed down.
  • In terms of the size/turnover/reputation of the companies where he has worked, does he seem to have steadily “progressed”? Are there any reversals? i.e. leaving a large/organized company to join a small/family owned company.
  • Has he spent his entire career in one city or is he mobile?
  • Does his “Total Years of Experience” tally with his current age? If not, does he seem to have “inflated” his experience? Or, he should have got 20 years of experience by now, but graph shows only 12 years? Has he failed to “list” some “unfavourable” tenures? eg. where his services were terminated or where the service was “temporary/contractual” ?
  • Did any of the companies that he worked for, belong to his father/relative ? If so, what was his designation/salary during such tenure? Was that commensurate with his qualifications/experience ?
  • During his career, were there any periods of “self-employment” ? If so, has he listed those in his “Career History” section ? What factors made him “start/give-up” such self employment ?

Salary

  • He seems to have picked-up a huge salary-jump, everytime he changed jobs. What kind of salary-increase would he expect us to offer to motivate him to change ? Can we afford ? Would that upset a lot of our existing employees and demotivate them ? Would we be upsetting the apple-cart ?
  • Has his salary kept pace with his rise up the career ladder ? Is his salary lagging behind/way ahead of a majority of his co-professionals ? How does it compare with similar professionals in our organisation ?
  • What seems to be his “trade-off” between

a) Salary

b) Designation Level ?

  • Were any of these qualifications obtained through “Correspondence – Course” ? or through “Part-time study” in evenings ? If so, for how long ?
  • What about the educational institutions/universities that he attended ? Are these recognized/reputed/accredited institutions?
  • Why did he not pursue higher studies in the same institution/university ? Why did he have to go to another state/country ?
  • Is there an “overlap” between

Completion of his education, and

Start of his first job ?

If yes, how did he manage that ?

  • If there is a substantial “gap” between

Completion of his education and

Then, what did he do during that period ?

  • He seems to have obtained more than one degree/diploma during the same year. How did he manage that ?

Our Secret

Monkeys recognise each other by comparing faces to an average stored in their brains, not by memorising what every monkey looks like, scientists say. And that probably also goes for people, explaining how humans can recognise faces in a fraction of second, according to study published in Nature. The scientists found a monkey's brain did not keep1 track of different parts of a face, storing and then accessing the information to recognise others. Instead, it keeps statistical average of the faces it has seen and uses it as a basis for comparison.

“When it sees a new face, it compares it to this average and then it remarks upon the differences and that is how the face is seen”, said David Leopold of the US National Institute of Mental Health. “It elucidates how it is possible that you can so quickl2y and effortlessly, in just a few hundred milliseconds, recognise faces.”

Patterns and Correlation

The world of data can be dreadfully boring or wildly fascinating, depending on how you see it. For Thomas Davenport, distinguished professor of management and information technology at Babson College, USA, the right kind of numbers can open up a world of endless possibilities, and take decision-making to a whole new level. Data and analytics-the science, or art, of slicing and dicing data to arrive at underlying patterns and correlations – may to be entirely new, but it’s certainly changing how the world’s largest and most progressive companies like Wal-Mart, P&G, Amazon and Dell, compete today. And Davenport is the most passionate evangelist of this route to business success.

A widely acclaimed author and speaker on information and knowledge management, business process reengineering and electronic business and markets, Davenport contends that in a complex and dynamic world, analytics is the CEO's best friend. Because numbers tell the real story, devoid of biases and subjectivity that comes with decision making done “from the gut”. Yet, most companies that use analytics aren't able to fully leverage its benefits, relegating it to a

Profiles: The new currency of Recruitment. Issued by, www.IndiaRecruiter.net

The Resume Analytics

backroom technique that mostly validates decisions already made. In that respect, it's long way from becoming a strategic tool in the corporate boardroom.

Companies need to realize that competing on analytics is, first and foremost, about culture and mindsets. In this exclusive interview, Davenport shares a few tips on how organisations can maximize the benefit they can derive form analytics, and how they can deal with some of challenges that come with it.

How can a company make the transition from an intuition driven environment to that of fact-based decision making?

There are two fundamentally different approaches. One is, you have a senior executive, usually a CEO, who really understands analytics, and what it can do for the business. There are cases when a new leader came in and started it. This is true of dotcoms like Yahoo and Amazon. When you have that level of execution support from the beginning, it's very easy to build your company around it and make it more tumorous. If you don't have that level of support then you need to create it by demonstrating the value of analytics. Pick some areas of business for a pilot and show what the results are, and try to spread it beyond that department with sympathetic executives who are willing at least try it in their business areas.

What about the experience and knowledge that resides within people in traditional organisations?

I am not doubting the value of experience overall, but I think there are certain problems that are way too complex for companies to deal with purely through experience. Take banking, for example. Figuring out at what point a customer will want a credit card is too complex to do on the basis of experience. The other problem with the experienced-team model is that they aren't fast enough. In the US, you can have four mortgage offers in five minutes over the internet. So you really can't wok with human experience based models, as humans can't decide quickly enough.

How does one deal with resistance to change?

It's a major change to go from a experience based approach and intuitive decision making to an analytical approach. That's one reason why you need some support because it's hard for people to change the way they have looked at their business for years. And if you are one of the middle level managers, for example, and you want to create a more analytical approach in your company, you have to go up and get support for value that's demonstrated on smaller projects, and then with that support, you can start changing the culture of the company. You don't really change the decision-making culture without senior management support.

Why is this the best time for companies to invest in analytics?

From a supply standpoint, a lot of organisations have the data or they have been trying to put in place for a number of years, either transaction data from ERP systems, or point of sales data. In any case, companies are better equipped with data than before, and there is a lot of software and

hardware available. The software vendors for analytics are producing much more capable software than what they used. When they sourced software from a variety of vendors. Now they're increasingly offering an integrated package. From a demand standpoint, companies need to compete on the basis of key business processes and the way you optimize those processes with analytics.

Q. Why “Profiles” ?

Ans: Profiles will make your recruitment process

  • Better
  • Faster

Better

From the keywords contained in a given resume, “Profiles” determines, three FUNCTIONAL PROFILES of the candidate concerned. “Profiles” automatically decides to which of the many “Functions”, does this candidate belong to. Which are the top 3 functions in which this candidate has maximum exposure ?

Not only does “Profiles” automatically assign “raw score” for each functional profile, it also computes the “percentile” of a given candidate !

So now, not only you get to know

  • Which functions does this candidate belong to ?,

you also get to know,

  • Where exactly he stands in relation to other executives, belonging to the same function ? What is his rank amongst “Co-professionals” ?

“Profiles” graphical/visual representation of a candidate’s competence level (percentile) within a matter of seconds, answers your following question :

“Is this person good enough to be called for an interview ?”

In a normal course, you would reach this conclusion only after you have carefully studied the entire resume and formed a “global impression” of the candidate ( Viz : A = Excellent / B = Good / C = Average / R = Reject etc. ). Then you would need to record your “impression/rating” on a piece of paper or on the hardcopy of the resume.

Profiles: The new currency of Recruitment. Issued by, www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Profiles: The Resume Analytics

But at this stage, your "rating" is kind of "isolated/stand-alone".

Your "rating" does not tell you the relative "ranking/standing" of that candidate in relation to hundreds/thousands of Co-professionals

For finding the "relative" standing/ranking, you will need to

  • Study all the resumes
  • Rate all the resumes
  • Arrange all candidates in descending order of their "rating"

Even then, your approximation ( all As in top group / all Bs in middle group / Cs in bottom group etc.), does not readily tell you the "percentile" position of a given candidate.

Such a percentile-ranking is only possible if, instead of simply rating a resume/candidate, as A/B/C/R, you were to assign some "marks" to that resume, such as:

Function : Materials Management

Candidate

Score

Out of

Mhatre

43

100

Patel

76

100

Venkat

55

100

Such refined/precise scoring requires accurate judgment.

Such a judgment is a highly complex mental process, which is possible for a highly trained/ experienced expert who does not tire-out, even after scoring 1000 resumes!

In projection of Functional Profile, graphically, it is such a complex mental process that IndiaRecruiter mimics - and succeeds.

That is why it is "Better".

Profiles: The new currency of Recruitment. Issued by, www.IndiaRecruiter.net

Profiles: The Resume Analytics - Faster

How long does it take a human expert to

  • Carefully study a resume
  • Conclude that this candidate is
    • Excellent in "Marketing" (A)
    • Good in "Sales" (B)
    • Average in "After-Sales Services" (C)

I would say, 10 minutes/resume. Some of you may be able to do this in 5 minutes. So, a clever/ hardworking manager can "rate" 80/100 resumes in 8 working-hours.

But this is a theoretical calculation.

In reality,

  • You never get 400 undisturbed working minutes in a day.
  • Looking at / studying email resumes on a computers screen for 8 hours/day, day-after-day, will wear you out, drain your energies, cause you eye-strain and carpal tunnel syndrome, dim your mental faculties, and impair your judgment \to It is very difficult to get rated at the end of the day.

But even if you are a truly exceptional person, you will find it very difficult to "rate" a candidate on three different "Functional Areas", simultaneously, viz. Marketing/Sales/After Sales Service.

If you try to juggle these 3 balls at a time, your output may well drop to 30/40 resumes in a day.

This is without taking into account the fact that the next resume you pick-up for rating, belongs to an executive, whose

  • PRIMARY function is "Manufacturing"
  • SECONDARY function is "Quality Control"
  • TERTIARY function is "Materials Management"

So, you have to be a "Superman" to juggle more than a hundred functional-balls at the same time! or else, your daily output would further drop to 10/15 resumes.

But when you are going through "Profiles" (instead of plain text resumes) you can zero-in on 5 good candidates ( out of 500 ) within 2 hours!

No wonder, when you use "Profiles", you recruitment process gets, truly "FASTER"

Profiles: The Resume Analytics

The "Function / Industry Profile" graph is a group of 3 graphs, which specify the top three functions or industries for a particular candidate. What each of these graphs shows is the standing of a candidate relative to his/co-professionals present in our database. The graphs show the "Raw Score" of a candidate based upon the keywords present in his resume and the "Percentile Score" with respect to other co-professionals. The graphs also show the sample size i.e. the no. of co-professionals with whom the candidate has been compared. The graphs also show the mean, +1 \sigma (sigma) and -1 \sigma (sigma) values which determine the trend followed by 68\% of the sample population. If a candidate's standing falls before -1 \sigma (sigma) line, then it means that he/she hold a very low score and if he/she falls beyond +1 \sigma (sigma) line, then it means that he/she lies amongst the cream of the population.

FAQ

GuruMine

Dear Recruiter,

You are getting thousands of unstructured resumes against your job-advts, but these remain "unsearchable" because, these are unstructured. And you end-up generating again & again for identical vacancies | What GuruMine does, is to convert these unstructured resumes into a structured database automatically, accurately, speedily. GuruMine "extracts" nearly 23 "fields" from an unstructured resume | So, anytime (now or in future), you can search this database, for

  • Name
  • Age
  • Experience
  • Educational
  • Qualification
  • City / Country
  • Function
  • Industry
  • Designation
  • Current Employer
  • Reports
  • Address
  • Phone No. / Email-Id

Our GuruMine even develops for each candidate, a "Functional Exposure Profile" graph, for top three functions, where his expertise lies. Not only does GuruMine "score" each candidate's knowledge/skills (it even compares his "score" with thousands of similar candidates in the database and computes his "percentile" (his "standing" amongst pear-group). So, now you can decide, whom to call for interview - just by looking at the graph!

Key Features & Benefits

  • Extracts key information from resumes automatically and stores into a structured database
  • Facilitates quick reading of incoming / existing resumes by highlighting important keywords found in the resume
  • Identifies keywords that are unique or uncommon amongst similar profiles
  • Helps in interviewing the candidate by displaying highlight of what is mentioned in resume compared to an ideal profile
  • Eliminates the manual entry of the data from the resume to the Application Tracking System
  • Reduces data entry errors, time consumed and duplicate storing of the resumes
