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,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

WHY JOBSEEKERS DO NOT APPLY

Abhi

13/09/05

Why people don't apply?

Our guesses would be:

  • They are not getting enough job-alerts? {Quantity}
  • They are not getting relevant job-alerts {Quality}
  • They have not filled in their job-prefs properly {Lack of clarity}
  • They are not really looking for a job! {Lack of seriousness}
    • [want alerts because these are "free"]

Unless we find the real reasons, we don't know what corrective steps to take. And each fellow may have a different reason!

While it is a good idea to upload the Jobseeker Feedback (Survey form) on WWJ, our quick feedback can only come from the 312 registered jobseekers to whom we are sending alerts for the last 6 months. We have to go beyond the average response rate of 2.27% and find out the response rate of each of these 312 - then phone/email and ask them their "reasons". These actual users feedback (spread over last 6 months), will tell us where we are going wrong!

Draft email for sending to 312 persons who have registered on WWJ.

Dear [Name]

JAM = Job-Alert Mobile

Thank you for registering on World-Wide-Jobs

We have been sending you job-alert SMS whenever we come across any job-advt which matches your declared "Job Preferences".

Our records show as follows:

  • No. of Job Alert SMS sent -
  • No. of times you "Applied" -

In the background of above-mentioned statistics, we would request you to let us know,

  • Whether we are sending you enough no. of job-alerts (Quantity). $\square$
  • Whether job-alerts being sent are matching your "job-preferences" (Relevance).

Please feel free to send me an email or phone me on 93, 2450, 5801

Unless we know the real reasons behind your occasional "Apply online" SMS, we would not be able to serve you better.

Of course, nothing would make us happier than to know that you managed to get your Dream Job, after the very first "Apply online" SMS! If that happened then JAM would have fulfilled its mission.

In either case, I would appreciate if you take or can spare a couple of minutes off your busy schedule to phone me.

With regards

Abhinandan

NOW!

Concept of Global Recruiter is not easy to grasp in a few minutes. And, since most people can grasp only one thing at a time (in small bits), we have tried to explain the entire concept thru a dozen pages/links. Fortunately, most are descriptive/static pages.

But I felt, we need one page where we "summarize" all the features/advantages of GR. A personal can choose to first read this Summary and then visit corresponding individual pages. OR He could have first gone thru individual pages before clicking on NOW. This page will then "recap" (recapitulate) what he has already read earlier. The order (of reading) is not important.

Thru page (NOW), we want to give an OVERVIEW of GR to a potential partner. We may even provide a hyperlink to this page in some of our promotional emails, inviting "would-be" partners to join.

PS

Provide on "Mktg-Tool" page a link to NOW page. Call it HELP (instead of NOW) Next to Message Box.

EYEING COMPETITION

Our one eye must always be on what our competitors are upto - keenly watching their every move. This means reports and by visiting their websites.

Surprises are bad for businessmen. Remember, all competitors are working hard to catch us "sleeping"! We are trying to do same with Global Recruiter.

Clever Generals have won many battles by taking enemy by surprise.
