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,
Hemen Parekh

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

Interactive Interviews Tool (IIT)

Dear HR Manager/

Occassional User

If you are an occasional user and need to interview 4/5 candidates once-in-a-while and willing to take down notes on a piece of paper (in case you need to consult your notes later), then Simply enter below, the Permanent Executive Number (PEN) of the candidate and start interviewing.

Of course, relevant Interview Questions will pop-up when you click on any keyword in the Candidate's KarmaScope.

After the interview, you will also be able to fill-in "Candidate Assessment" form and then download on your harddisk, but once you CLOSE the session, no data gets saved in our server!

You can only refer to your handwritten notes!

PEN

 

IIT

This is the user interface for Occassional User:

PEN

Regular User

If, day in and day out, you are required to interview hundreds of candidates against dozens of Vacancies, then obviously you are a regular user. It does not matter whether

  • you are a Recruiting Agent, interviewing on behalf of your Clients, or
  • you are a HR manager, interviewing on behalf of your own Company (depts).

In either case you cannot depend upon handwritten notes re: your findings, your assessment, your recommendations etc, when you are interviewing hundreds of candidates.

You need a robust/foolproof System which enables you to capture all sorts of data online - and on a continuous basis - and further enables you to Refer to all sorts of historical data within seconds, at any time in the future.

In short, for each interview, you need to create an Interview Process.

An Interview Process, will enable you to capture following data:

  • Who is to be interviewed? (Candidate PEN)
  • What for is he being interviewed? (Position/Vacancy)
  • When is he being interviewed? (Time-stamp)
  • Where did he arrive from? (Apply Online/Resume Search/Emailed Profile)

The main anchor for an Interview Process is the "Position/Vacancy", which you have recently posted on this site. [Show All My Jobs]

Once you advertise any "position/vacancy", profiles (resumes) will keep arriving for many days and get stored in respective Resume Holder. Now you are not going to interview all those candidates at a time, on one day. You may interview them (few candidates at a time) spread over many days.

And since, you are interviewing all those Candidates against a specific/given vacancy, you must use the SAME Interview Process (ID) for all, till that vacancy gets filled.

One Vacancy $\rightarrow$ One/Same Interview Process (ID) $\rightarrow$ Many Candidates

This allows you to track

  • How many candidates did you interview for this position & when
  • How was each "rated"? (Candidate Assessment forms)
  • Who Interviewed each of those candidates?

In course of time, we will add

  • How many were issued Appointment Letters?
  • How many & who joined?

Now let us say you are ready to interview a candidate for the position (eg.) XYZ

You also remember (don't have to be 100% certain!) that you had already created an Interview Process sometime back, for this vacancy. If so, there is no point in creating a NEW Interview Process (for the same position). Who knows, you may have even actually interviewed a few candidates (for this position) in the past few days. No problem. Just click

[VIEW My Processes]

Voila!

Here is a list of Interview Processes that you have already created:

Ah, there it is! Position XYZ.

Now just click on the concerned Process ID

You find that you have already interviewed a few candidates for this position.

Fine. But you don't find the PEN of the Candidate who you have just called for interview (for the position XYZ).

No problem. Just add by entering

[To fetch PEN, show me all Resume Holders]

Good. That Candidate's PEN got added.

Now simply click on the PEN, to display the Interview Tool.

Next click on tab View KarmaScope to reveal the keywords.

clicking on any keyword would display

  • other keywords related to the clicked keyword
  • Interview Questions related to the clicked keyword

Creating a NEW Interview Process

If you are fairly certain that you have earlier NOT created an Interview Process for a given position/vacancy (and the Resume Holder for that job-ad is literally overflowing with the profiles pouring in), then simply enter following details:

Client (Self)

Client (External) - for Recruitment Agencies

Name of Internal Dept

Name of Clients

[List with radio buttons]

Dear HR Manager

iPEN stands for "IndiaRecruiter-PEN"

You already know that PEN stands for "Permanent Executive Number".

But non-jobseeking executives may be excused for thinking that iPEN stands for

I am a Potential Executive Name.

They may even consider printing their iPEN on their business cards!

Then suggest that you look-up their profiles by simply typing their iPEN on your iPhone! [Just wait - we are talking to Steve Jobs]

We hate to make you wait.

Till such time, your option is to type in the box below

OR

  • Executive PEN [ ]
  • Executive Name [First Name] [Last Name]

Dear HR Manager

Here "Rh" stands for Resume Holder (Resume Human). $\text{Rh+}$ and because everything about Resume Holder is positive.

What is a Resume Holder? How does it help you - make your life easy?

It is a tagging device to tag interesting resumes when you come across some.

Say you are searching suitable resumes to fill the position of "Business Analyst".

You have following methods/options:

  • The moment you "Post Job Advt", we instantly display a few "Recommended Resumes". Quite a few look interesting! $\text{Rh+}$
  • During next 30 days, while conducting online Jobsearch, a few candidates may see your Job Advt and "Apply Online".
  • You conduct Online Resume Search and glance thru list of resumes arranged in descending order of their "Suitability" ($\%$ percentile score). Top 15/20 seem to perfectly match your requirements.
  • In "Post Job Advt" form, you select
    • [Checked box] Keep transferring to my Resume Holder, all fresh/incoming matching resumes, with percentile score of more than $\text{---}$ $\text{---}$ $\text{---}$

Now your Software Agent takes over and keeps tracking matching resumes.

It seems "interesting/suitable" resumes are pouring in from all sides!

But what would happen if all of these were to get dumped into your mailbox - without so much as a trace of:

  • "Who" sent ... {Executive Names}
  • "Why" sent ... {Position applied for}
  • "What" sent ... {Date} on your hard disk?

Worse - "how" will you find these? You may not even want to try! $\text{Rh+}$

But suppose, all of these "interesting/suitable" resumes were to get automatically tagged/stored in a Resume Holder, under title "Business Analyst"?

Then you will find them at ONE place {resume holder named "Business Analyst"} and in a matter of seconds!

Just look-up this resume holder, when YOU are free to look-up, and as often as you want, during the next 90 days {the resume holder expires 90 days after the date of creation}. View [Checked box] each Profile at leisure and if you feel like interviewing some of those candidates, just check, [Checked box] "Transfer to IIT".

For any clarifications, feel free to phone me

Dear HR Chiefs/s

DON'T WAIT!

Posting a job-advt {Whether in a newspaper or on a jobsite} is like shooting in the dark. You cannot see whether you have hit the target.

Even after charging you lakhs of rupees, will any newspaper or any jobsite {Including those claiming to be No. 1} tell you precisely how many jobseekers read your advt?

We do - because it is your right.

Your right to know whether your advertising money is getting you results or is it money down the drain.

Here is a list of all the job-advts that you ever posted on this site {in reverse chronological order}.

When you click on any, we show you, who - and how many jobseekers read your advt.

Then click on the name of any of those jobseekers to view his Profile.

If he happens to have the right background, email or phone to ask why he didn't "Apply online"!

In an age of Talent-crunch, you have got to be proactive. You just cannot afford to wait for the Candidates to "Apply Online!"

Rs. 1/= for clicking & viewing each Resume

Dear HR Chief/

When the entire world has changed over to "Pay-per-Use", why do you want to pay to any jobsite, a huge/fixed subscription - and in advance - irrespective of your actual usage?

May be there are thousands of you, who need to fill-up only 2/3 Vacancies every  years but keep away from jobsites because they would ask you to pay-up Rs. 3000/= for a 3-month usage or over Rs. 1,00,000/= for annual subscription).

All over the Web, advertisers make a micropayment - and only when someone clicks on their advt - not otherwise.

You pay for water - electricity - gas - phone - travel or for any other service/utility which you do not use?

Then why should you pay an exorbitant subscription/tariff for

  • Your Job-advts that do not get viewed by Jobseekers?
  • Resumes that you never Viewed?
  • Resumes that you never received?

In short, why should you get taken for a ride?

We see no reason, why you should be made to pay for services which never got delivered!

No more. Now you have an option - a far Superior Option.

When you Subscribe to our website, you will pay Rs. 1/=, every time

  • a jobseeker Views one of your job-advts
  • you View a Candidate's Profile {resume}
  • a Candidate "Applies Online" to your/your job advt

In Interactive Interview Tool (IIT):

  • you click on "SEND MAIL" {Candidate Assistant}
  • you click on "Company Profile" link
  • you click on "Job Description" link
  • you click on any KEYWORD

No change if there are no results.

That's all.

  • NO Minimum/fixed/time-bound subscription
  • NO long term Commitment
  • NO lock-in
  • NO validity period
  • NO expiry date

While we are still working on a detailed mechanism/procedures for payments/credit balances/Service usage statistics/Admin Tool etc., please go ahead, REGISTER and start using our services, absolutely FREE.

Liberate yourself from the tyranny of the few!

  • Rahil.
