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,

EMPLOYER SERVICES

30/12/06

Dear Employers/Recruitment Agents

Like on any other jobsite, of course, here too, you can

  • Post Jobs
  • Search Resumes But comparison ends there. We are vastly different. We are a Virtual Employment Exchange (VEE).

For the following reasons:

  • For your manpower needs you need to fill-in only ONE form (Post Job-cum-Resume Search). Not only will your Job get posted, you will get to instantly see a list of "Recommended" candidates arranged in the descending order of their RELEVANCE/SUITABILITY to your requirements. Now you need to VIEW only the top 10/15 (not 236,000+ where the best candidate got listed at number 189!). A huge time-saving for those of you who are hard-pressed to "hire yesterday". (Better/Faster)
  • You don't need to read long/Verbose plain-text resumes. You interpret Analytics-in-seconds!
  • You get to conduct ONLINE interviews (IIT-Tour) - helped by a database of 15000+ interview questions/answers - then record your Assessment online/on-the-spot.
  • You never have to worry about FAKED/FUDGED resumes
  • You get to know the Relative Competence of all job-applicants (How and Why) [Is this candidate worth interviewing?]
  • You can give instant feedback to job-applicants [ARM]
  • You pay for only these services that you use/when you use (Pay per Use)
  • You can contribute Interview Questions (Share Your Knowledge)
  • You can create a Knowledgebase of Functions/Skills/Keywords (Geek Challenge)
  • You get recognized for your Contribution (Question Contributors)

SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Text Conversion from Scanned Images

29-12-06

Dear Visitor

It just does not matter that you are

  • a Jobseeker
  • a HR Manager
  • a College Professor
  • a Subject Expert
  • anyone at all!

All that matters is that you possess some knowledge about some subject/domain.

And that you are keen to share your knowledge with other knowledge-seekers.

You also know that knowledge does not "subtract" - when shared - it only "multiplies"!

Knowledge-sharing is a two-way traffic. If in doubt, look up Wikipedia.

Here is your chance:

We have compiled over $15,000$ interview questions on this website - which an

Interviewer can refer to while conducting interviews. See IT-Tour. But millions

of resumes can contain millions of unique keywords. For each of this keyword, you can

think-up of hundreds of questions - many which have never occurred to anyone else!

But unless you "contribute" such questions, how can you

  • share your domain-expertise with thousands of Interviewers?
  • make a lasting contribution to the "Art & Science of Online Interviewing"?
  • get your co-professionals to recognise & appreciate your "act of sharing your wealth of knowledge with others"?

So, go ahead and type out as many interview-questions as you like, in the

space provided below. If you choose, you can remain anonymous. But we strongly

urge you to provide your personal details. If you do, following will happen:

  • Anytime any interviewer clicks on a keyword by any resume, a related question

contributed by you will get displayed on TOP of the question-list.

  • Along with YOUR contributed questions, YOUR NAME will also get displayed, so that

every recruiter knows that YOU contributed this question. Your Email WILL NOT be displayed

29/12/06

  • Your name also gets added to the LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS, where any

Visitor can click on your name and look at all the questions contributed

by you, over a period of time (not necessarily at one go).

Of course, as mentioned earlier, you can still contribute questions (share your

knowledge) without revealing your identity. If you have strong reasons to do so.

Even in such a case, your contributed questions will get added to our database

and will be sought by recruiters. Recruiters will still stand to benefit from your knowledge!

LONG TERM BENEFITS OF DEVELOPING


Shalaka - Punam – Alex

What could be long form benefit of developing and freely distributing.

    . Resume Sorter .......... to HR mgrs

    . Match Maker ........... to Jobseekers

    One obvious use would be to offer (on India Recruiter), FUNCTIN/ SKILL wise

    . Resume Search .... to HR mgrs

    . Job Search ....... to jobseekers

    If , we succeed in extracting

    . Company Name / email ID

    . Posting Date,

    Then these "Searches" could be "refined" accordingly.
    And, since search - results are according to descedning order to Raw scores, the best records arc at Top.

    Of course, such a resume - search will only yield plain text resumes !

    And in such a job - search, we may not be able to provide "Apply Online" feature !

    Hence question may arise, if HR Mgrs and jobseekers would find this useful !

    Another use of the "Harvested & Raw - Scored", resumes and job - advts, could be to enable

    . HR Mgrs to look - up the BEST (top - scored) job - advts for any given function/ skill - then use that as a HELP to  write / construct their own job advts i.e. using BEST advts (for any function / skill) as a BENCHMARK / DEAL

    . Jobseekers to look - up BEST (Top - Scored) resumes for any given functional / skill - then use that as a help to  recruite their own text resume.

IIT WRITE UP

Dear HR Manager/Headhunter:

When you conduct an Interview, there is no doubt you frequently refer to the candidate's resume—most likely a printout. Once-in-a-while, a keyword catches your attention and you ask a related question.

However, what happens more frequently is,

  • You fail to notice all the Keywords, which describe that candidate’s ASK (Attitude-Skills-Knowledge). Often you notice these Keywords, after the interview is over and the candidate has left!
  • Even when you do notice an interesting Keyword, You cannot think-up of the right/appropriate

question to ask, in a couple of seconds.

  • Even when your Interview-Panel Colleague manages to ask a keyword-relevant question, You cannot make out whether the Candidate’s answer is correct/right!

Obviously, that resume print-out which you are holding in your hand,

  • cannot "shout-out" the ASK Keywords!
  • cannot "suggest/recommend" relevant questions for asking!
  • cannot "whisper" the right answers in your ear!

In short, a resume print-out cannot engage with you in a dialogue. You could as well be reading Dead Sea-Scrolls.

But our Interactive Interview Tool (IIT) transforms a plain text resume into Profiles.

IIT also transforms YOU into the most thorough/systematic/scientific Interviewer east of Suez! In case of doubt, read WOW Factors $\rightarrow$ Link

Saurabh.

IIT

Interactive Interview Tool

"WOW" Effects

  • A databank of 15000+ Interview Questions (for nearly every skill/function/Knowledge Area)
  • A databank of 60,000+ Keywords (on every imaginable subject/topic)
  • Click on any Keyword in a candidate's resume, to pop-up/present,
    • 10/15 related/associated keywords
    • 5/50 Interview Questions
  • What good is an Interview Question, unless you know the Answer too? NO problem!

Click on any Keyword to get detailed write-up/definition ON that subject.

Now you don't have to be a subject expert before asking a question & any question to a Candidate.

  • Click on $\boxed{\text{GoogleFind}}$ to check-out on a candidate's background. If anybody is somebody, Google ought to know!
  • How much does the Candidate know about your Company? If he/she is looking for a senior-level position with you, he/she ought to know quite a lot.

Click on button $\boxed{\text{Company Profile}}$ to display details about your company. NOW ask him what he knows.

Most candidates never bother to find out anything about their prospective employer. But a serious candidate would have done a lot of homework, before appearing for interview.

  • Say You are interviewing a candidate for the position of "Materials Manager"

Does he know what would he need to handle? what will be his responsibilities?

Just click on button $\boxed{\text{Job Description}}$ to display job-role/what would be expected of him, should you decide to offer him this job.

It is better not to leave anything vague/unsaid/implied, only to regret later!

  • When you use IIT, it does not matter whether the candidate is sitting in front of you or you are interviewing him over phone, 10,000 miles away - with IIT on your Computer screen distance becomes irrelevant.

As soon as the candidate comes on your phone-line, just enter his PEN (Permanent Executive Number) in the $\boxed{\text{IIT}}$ and start the interview.

  • IIT contains an online Candidate Assessment (CA) page. Even as you are interviewing, you can start tracking $\checkmark$ your assessment/evaluation of that candidate on CA page.
    • It is best to record your impression (about various attributes of the candidate), when it is fresh/vivid/live.

You can even make some preliminary assessment to begin with - then change it as you ask more questions $\leftarrow$ as the interview proceeds.

Only,

Once you click $\boxed{\text{SUBMIT}}$ at the end of the interview, you cannot change anything.

  • At the end of the interview, you can email CA (Candidate Assessment) page to anyone
  • If anyone from your Organisation, has ever interviewed that candidate earlier, IIT will alert you!

In such an event, you can View

  • Who Interviewed this person earlier
  • When
  • What was that Assessment
  • even if he was interviewed by your distant branch office/factory, 5 years back!

For multi-locational Companies, this "Interview History" of each & every Candidate is a great advantage.

  • You can even create your own/private databank of interview questions (simple excel sheet) and upload into IIT. NOW, every time you click on a Keyword, your PRIVATE questions will pop-up first!

And the beauty is $\rightarrow$ no other Co/Op. HR manager can see/access your PRIVATE questions - ever!

Just ask all "Subject experts" in your Company to start writing tough Interview questions for each position!
