RESUME DOUNLOADER - GURU GRAB

Resume Downloader – “GuruGrab”

• Rajeev expects to come/install this tool (on the desktops of Consultants) during early this week.
• The tool is meant to download resumes from MonsterIndia.com and it is configured for our HTML/SQL databases etc. It will not work on any other config (unless customised).
• To begin with, 3P/Strategic HR Consultants may use the tool. After a week, Thakur/Mitchelle should give feedback to Rajeev (thru Rahul).
  Good or bad feedback – including suggestions to modify it to improve the productivity of Consultants still further.
• Since 3P/Strategic HR would like to start sending to their clients PROFILES (developed on IndiaRecruiters.net) of candidates, rather than sending

 

“converted products” (prepared by Vittal),
3P/Strategic HR would need to advise (i.e., thru email) some/few candidates to go/submit their resumes on
www.IndiaRecruiters.net

Draft of such an email is at ANNEX A

• Initially 3P/Strategic HR may send such email selectively to a few shortlisted candidates whose resumes RESUME DOWNLOADER has downloaded.
• But, after a couple of weeks, this email (ANNEX A) will be “hardcoded” into RESUME DOWNLOADER. Thereafter this email will automatically go out to each & every candidate whose resume gets downloaded using DOWNLOADER (as soon as it gets downloaded).

Thereafter, there will be no “choice”!

• Idea behind this (automatic email) is to use RESUME DOWNLOADER tool to market
  IndiaRecruiters.net
• This is how:

 

I propose to give away FREE, this Resume Downloader Tool, to all the subscribers of MonsterIndia (maybe more than 10,000?).

These subscribers would be:

• End Employers (8000?)
• Placement Agencies (2000?)
• Headhunters (150?)

All of them have the same problem viz.:

Quickly download resumes (of suitable candidates) from MonsterIndia, without tying down a lot of scarce recruitment executives all thru the day. They also face the problem of limited user licenses.

By using Resume Downloader, their productivity will go up several fold!
It will offer the Placement Agencies a competitive advantage as compared to those Agencies which do NOT use this tool.

But then in this world, there is no such thing as
FREE LUNCH!

You end up paying one way or the other!

So, those Corporates/Placement Agencies who wish to get this tool (for FREE) must accept that from their email ID, email messages (ANNEX A) will go out.

In return for the FREE tool, they have to undertake some publicity for IndiaRecruiters.net

No secret – we will tell them upfront.

But imagine the consequences if –
and when – 1000 Corporates/Placement Agencies start using this tool to download, everyday, 100 × 100 = 1,00,000 resumes from Monster.

Now, everyday 1 Lakh candidates get the message to go/register on IndiaRecruiters.net!

i.e. 3 million / month
36 million / year

Fantastic FREE publicity!

Suddenly, IndiaRecruiter gets a
salesforce of 1000 reputed salesmen!

If this does come about, it is likely that MonsterIndia may find a way to BLOCK access to the

Resume Downloader?

You bet!

I suppose, technically, such “blocking” should be quite easy.

But, what might that do to MonsterIndia, commercially, in terms of 1000 HR mgrs/recruiters who will view such an attempt by the body of Monster as monstrous / negative / customer-unfriendly / retrograde (aimed at making customers’ life difficult / aimed at lowering customer productivity / mean / outright harmful etc.).

And, instead of 1000 users, if there were to be 10,000 users of tool?

LOGIC (Rules)

• It follows the name immediately unless age is inserted after the name.
• Alternatively, the name of an executive precedes his designation.
2. Generally speaking, a verb precedes the name.
3. Quite often, the executive’s age (in numerals) appears after the name.

LOGIC (Rules)

(Continuation)

4️⃣ Almost always, the name of the organisation (company) follows —
(but not necessarily immediately) —
the name of the executive or the name of the organisation.

5️⃣ Almost always, the name of the organisation is dropped/left out during repeat references of an executive’s name.

---

6️⃣ When the name of an executive appears in an article for the first time, it is:

• Either in two words, e.g.
• Rahul Bajaj
• Sanjay Mishra
• Atul Godrej
  etc.

OR

• With initials, e.g.
• A.C. Bhargava
• S.R. Hiremath
• V. Kumar
• S.M. Datta

 

LOGIC (Rules — Continued)

7️⃣ When the name of an executive is repeated, it is usually truncated as:

Examples:

• Sun
• Oberoi
• Ramamathan
• Chaddha
• Sharma
• Mohan Singh
• Misra
• Gaur Hari
• Ramapalli
• Ajit
• Datta
• Chopra

---

8️⃣ A quote, symbolized by inverted commas “ ”,
is almost always a part of the sentence containing:

• Executive Name
• Executive Designation
• Company Name

 

Abbreviations are frequently resorted to in:

e.g.

• CEO
• MD
• CMD
• VP

(B) Name of Companies
e.g.

• ITC
• NDDB
• INDUSIND
• Eicher
• Greaves
• Mukand
• Nirma

• ICICI
• J&N
• SIEL
• NICCO

Stylistic Patterns Observed

• Prefix Verbs most common: says, adds, explains, notes, predicts, observes.
• Suffix Associations: nearly always a company name or industry category (e.g., “of Tata Sons,” “from ITC Hotels”).
• Compound Titles (e.g., “Chairman and Managing Director”) strongly co-occur with company identifiers.
• Parenthetical Titles like (CEO) or (Chairman) are inserted directly after names for compact reference.
• Frequent presence of age numerals immediately following name (e.g., Rajiv Bhogale, 50).

How to Harvest Senior Executive Names from www.domain-b.com / People on the Move

Main Points

• We talked about this yesterday.
• We can develop a tool/spider which visits domain-b website daily and automatically downloads names of senior executives, placing them in a Non-Member Database comprising:
• Executive Name
• Designation
• Name of Company
• These data can, thereafter, become searchable in the Non-Member Search, already available.
• Possibly such a “Name Harvester” can also work on many other websites that regularly report Executive Track / Executive Movement / People on the Move etc.
• We will need to develop suitable logic for harvesting such data from sentences — similar to the logic developed by us earlier for HARVESTER, where we could find verbs preceding or succeeding words such as:
• says
• said
• according to

---

Implementation Instructions

• To help us develop such logic, please get somebody to enter in the enclosed sheet data gleaned from domain-b for at least 100 instances.
  In the enclosed sheet, I have shown how this data should be compiled.
  You may wish to compile such data directly in an Excel sheet, and then email to Rahul.
• Based on your inputs, we will develop the logic/tool and test it.
  Even if the Name Harvester manages to extract correctly 80% of the time, it will increase our productivity manifold.
  Such a tool could be our “Competitive Advantage” over other headhunters.
• How soon can you provide inputs?
• You may also provide Rahul with a list of websites where he could test this tool.
