I spent some time on this site today, I clicked, at the bottom on "India Jobs" and found a very confusing list of links, dozens of them!

After a few minutes, I figured out that what Bixee had done was to search for some "keywords" in the job-adverts, most likely in the

"Company Name" field

"Position" "

"Edu." "

"Posting-City" " etc.

Then regroup the advts. under each of these fields.

So obviously, Same advt. got "regrouped" again & again, under more than one field. Hence if you click, you may find same advt under several links!

Not only this is a lot of duplication but it makes entire jobsearch extremely time-consuming/frustrating.

Let us examine, how many different ways, do Bixee organize/reorganize

its job-advts

Here is a quick/superficial finding (based on pages enclosed):

1 Industry-wise

2 Trade wise

3 Function wise

4 Skill wise

5 Edu. Quali. wise

6 Estac Co. Name wise

7 Geography - (City) wise

8 Designation-Level wise

SEARCH PARAMETERS

I would say Bixee's "intentions" are quite noble!

They know that they don't know, how a particular jobseeker will "approach" the jobsearch.

Anybody's guess!

It is obvious that a job can be (and should be) searched, using any of the above-listed 8 parameters.

Each jobseeker has a different set of priorities/importance/weightage, as far as these 8 parameters is concerned.

Today, he is interested in a particular "INDUSTRY" (above everything else)

Tomorrow, it is the "FUNCTION" which becomes most important to him.

And day-after-tomorrow, he is hung-up on jobs located in a particular "CITY" only

And next day, he does not want to look at any jobs below the "DESIGNATION-LEVEL" of General Manager

So, not only does a jobsearch starts using different SEARCH-PARAMETERS, for thousands of candidates

But

even for a same candidate, the search could start using different SEARCH-PARAMETERS on different days

[Graph: Candidate on Y-axis (A, B, C, D), TIME FRAME on X-axis (Today, Tomorrow, Day-After). Arrows point from the X-axis for each day to a SEARCH CRITERIA (Ind, Func, City).]

So, a good JOB SEARCH DESIGN should enable a jobseeker to

Enter using any GATE (Criteria)

Narrow the Search using Successive - GATES (criteria).

Today almost all jobsites, require "entering" all (or most) search-criteria so that the search-engine

"applies all entered criteria Simultaneously"

Of course, this has great advantage of quickly narrowing down the search-results to a few (manageable) no.

But to a jobseeker the "background" of this process remains UNEXPLAINED - A MYSTERY!

But when he starts with just ONE criteria, sees

> "4396 matching jobs found"

> To narrow down apply one more Search-criteria

and then applies the next criteria and sees

> 4396 narrowed down to 2385 matching both criteria

> To narrow further, apply one more \ldots

so on & so forth, till he clicks DISPLAY

But who has the time and why would anybody wish to go through such a tortuous/painstakingly-slow process?

I don't know whether any jobseeker would enjoy playing such a GAME!

But on zipjobs, we did display jobs

Citywise

Industry wise

Function wise

also through MAGIC - CUBE search.

I believe, even on https://www.google.com/search?q=ReemitGuru.com, our Resume Search is

SEQUENTIAL.

HR love GR!

This is an extension of my note (18/09/05)

"What Do We Want?"

As compared to Monster/Naukri, GR has many fantastic features. And we want our would-be partner website to come to know about these features.

By reading these features, would-be partners can be convinced that, if they Sign-up as a partner, they can compete against Monster/Naukri - and of course, against all the other jobsites!

By reading these features, would-be partners will feel confident to be able to convince the local corporate employers to ditch Monster/Naukri and subscribe to that partner. Now they know they can use these UNIQUE features (clearly contrasting with Monster/Naukri) in their "sales pitch".

See enclosed Comparative Tabulation. If I have missed-out any feature, pl. add. Then upload this page on GR. With some modification, same tabulation could also be displayed on a partner's website. Then he can just email that link to a thousand corporates, requesting them to click & look-up.

HR love GR!

Dear partner

As a partner of Global Recruiter, you will offer to HR managers, productivity-enhancing features that no other jobsite offers (not even those who claim to be #1!).

So, when you approach an HR manager to stop subscribing to #1 and start subscribing to your website, do not compete on subscription-rate/tariff/pricing. Just tell him:

Global Recruiter speeds up your Promotion!
