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,

RESUME DOWNLOADER

Resume Downloader - Phase II

 

Position: [Box] for client [Box]

by consultant [Box]

Sl No.

Name

Current Data

Employer

[Mhatre]

 

Now, with such a tabular display, consultant does not have to open & read each & every resume to decide good or bad. As she scans these results, she will Click-open only those resumes which primafacie appear interesting. It will save a lot of time!

cc: Rahul, Michelle / Thakur -> if you have any suggestions, pl. phone-up Rajeev.

 

  •  

Based on the images provided, here is the transcription and summary of the Resume Downloader - Phase II notes and instructions.

 

Date: 31/07/2006
To: Thakur, Mitchelle
CC: Rahul, Rajeev, Nimit

Subject: Resume Downloader

  • 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 HW/SW/databases etc. It will not work on any other config (unless customized).
  • To begin with, 3P/Strategic HR Consultants may use this tool. After a week, Thakur/Mitchelle should give feedback to Rajeev (through Rahul).
    Good or bad feedback—including suggestions to modify—to increase the productivity of consultants still further.
  • Since 3P/Strategic HR would like to start sending to their clients Profiles (developed on IndiaRecruiter) of candidates rather than sending “converted products” (prepared by Vittal), they would need to advise candidates to submit resumes on
    www.IndiaRecruiter.net

 

“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.IndiaRecruiter.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 hard-coded into RESUME DOWNLOADER. Thereafter the 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 IndiaRecruiter.net.

This is how:

I propose to give away FREE this Resume Downloader Tool to all the subscribers of MonsterIndia.com (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 Monster India, without tying up a lot of scarce recruitment executives all through the day. They also face the problem of limited number of licenses.

By using Resume Downloader, their productivity will go up several fold.
It will give 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 a 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 FREE tool, they have to undertake some publicity for IndiaRecruiter!

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, 100,000 (only 100 resumes/day) resumes from Monster.

Now, everyday 1 Lakh candidates get the message to go register on IndiaRecruiter!

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, is it 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 attempt on part of Monster as monstrous / negative / customer-unfriendly / retrograde / aimed at making customer 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?

ANNEX : A
Dear Sir / Madam
Plain text Resume

We have received your plain-text resume from email / apply-online / or downloaded from a job site.

Unfortunately, unstructured plain-text resumes cannot be added to our structured database. Hence, your text resume can neither be searched nor sent to our clients / colleagues — even if it perfectly matches our requirements (ideal for the vacancy).

To make your resume searchable in our database, please resubmit it at

SUBMIT RESUME (PRIVATE)
on
www.IndiaRecruiter.net

You will find our Company Name / Agency Name in a drop-list on that page. After registering, click on our Name. We will receive your Profile and you too will get a copy of your Profile through email. Please do this soon before the vacancy gets filled up.

 

Many thanks for your co-operation.

“Leveraging Tushar’s Efforts”

Rahul
30/08/08

Leveraging Tushar’s efforts.

By now, Tushar has rated 1,635,900 resumes.

On an average, he rates every day 10,000 – 15,000 resumes.

Maybe some of this effort helps our own consultants.

But we must find a way to leverage this effort to help some 50,000 recruiters in India and many more, all over the world.

I have designed enclosed UI/IT with this in mind.

No login, because
“Exchange Bricks for Gold” (Sun Tzu)

For world:
→ Recruiters downloading & using Resume Rater.

For our own internal (consultants’) use: Tushar only transfers to folders those resumes which score ≥ 25.

For the purpose of enclosed online application, daily we will upload ALL . So, on any given day, total number of resumes worldwide will grow by (200 × 42 functions)!

I suppose this can be done easily.

“Resume Search – Text Resumes”

NO LOGIN REQUIRED to use this page | NO at-task resume searchable

Dear Visitor,

In our OFFLINE database, we have a few thousand TEXT RESUMES — which are unstructured. But we have rated these using Resume Rater and stored them in different folders (as in NON-IT START-UPS).

A browser can slide in the DESCENDING ORDER of Row Scores of rated resumes. Of course, the volume keeps growing on a daily basis — which means you might find the resume you need on your next visit!

In the meantime, to give one a hurry start:
Highest rated candidates,
In highest scoring functions, etc.

Just start clicking / downloading.

NOTE: After downloading, store these resumes in separate folders where each folder is given the relevant FUNCTION NAME. You can even re-rate the resumes on any given day by uploading to Resume Rater (it’s FREE).

— Poornima
