1️⃣ Observations from
Job Ads (AScent / IT Companies)
Two
days ago, I studied several job ads in Ascent — mostly from IT companies
— and found that most of them contain a specific instruction (usually at the
bottom of the ad):
“Email
your resume to ________, clearly mentioning in the Subject Line the
position applied for (or Job Code), years of experience, city/location, etc.”
Occasionally,
some ads also ask for mentioning Educational Qualification in the
subject line.
2️⃣ Purpose Behind These
Instructions
The
foremost purpose is to segregate and sort incoming email resumes — position-wise
or vacancy-wise.
This
is an important, time-saving step for large companies that:
- Release multiple job ads simultaneously,
and
- Have several HR managers handling
different functions or openings.
Hence,
they want to ensure each HR manager receives only those resumes relevant to the
vacancies they are handling — and not the entire bunch.
“A
sensible thing to do.”
Subsequent
Sorting Logic
Once
each manager receives only the relevant resumes, the next step is to conduct
finer sorting based on:
- Years of experience
- Educational qualification
- City of residence
For
big/reputed companies receiving thousands of resumes daily, such further
sorting is essential to filter only those that truly meet the advertised
criteria.
4️⃣ Anticipating
Intelligent Automation
“I
would not be surprised if these companies carry out this sorting either:
• Using an army of data-entry operators (to key in the relevant values into a
database), OR
• Through a very intelligent sorting software.”
Someday,
we should develop such software and make it available to HR managers.
5️⃣ Current Relevance to
ImageBuilder
To
some extent, ImageBuilder already enables HR managers to identify
suitable resumes faster by providing:
- Better-arranged data
(experience, education, etc.)
- Profile Graphs
for visual clarity
Proposed
Enhancement for “Resume Courier” Feature
Hemen
Parekh proposes a new column in the Resume Courier system:
|
S.No |
Advertiser’s
Email ID |
Subject
Line Format |
|
1 |
advertiser@company.com |
e.g.,
JobCode / Position / Exp / Edu / City |
|
2 |
— |
— |
With
this, the system would ensure resumes automatically reach the concerned HR
manager.
7️⃣ Mandatory Rule for
Candidates
“To
ensure your resume reaches the concerned HR manager, type the Job Code,
Position, Experience, Education, and City in the Subject Line — in bold
capital letters. Without this, your resume may get rejected.”
Predictive
Feature Proposal
Once
this structured data flows into the Resume Courier backend, the Pattern
Recognition module could track frequency distribution of candidate
applications and deduce:
- Candidate’s preferences
- Most-applied-for positions
- Regional hotspots
→
Allowing the system to recommend suitable jobs automatically.
