RESUME RATER

Resume Rater (Dated 16/03/07)

What is it supposed to do:-

  • Enable upload of a big file of text resumes (any upper limit?)
  • "Score" these, based on "function/skill" selected
  • Rearrange display tabulation in the descending order of scores.
  • Enable following manual data-entry into the display table:
    • Name of Candidate
    • email
    • Phone
    • Interview Score
    • TO
    • From
    • Position/Vacancy Name
    • Date?
    • View Resume $\boxed{V}$ Column
  • Enable emailing of display table $\wedge$ downloading
  • Storing of display tables and being able to search display tables by "Position/Vacancy" name
  • Click on "View Resume $\boxed{V}$ column to reveal full text resume along with One Profile Graph (V 2.0?)
  • Send out emails (automatically) to each resume-owner, containing
    • a) First stage (V.1.)
      • Profiles: the new Currency of Recruitment
      • Issued by: www.IndiaRecruiter.net
    • b) Second Phase (V.2.)
      • entire text resume with highlighted keywords and One profile graph

Strategy:

  • To popularise Resume Rater amongst Corporates & Recruitment Agencies
  • Get them used to Profiles concept to gradually move to IIT.
  • Ride piggy-back on Resume Rater Users (Corpo + Agencies) to spread email messages (re: India Recruiter) to lakhs of candidates daily.
  • Let them do our marketing! (There is no free lunch in the world!)

Tactics

  • We give away Resume Rater CD $\rightarrow$ FREE to participants of ERA conference.
  • On the spot, we "activate" each CD, by Sonal/Swati/Yogesh entering onto the CD,
    • Name of Person
    • Designation (if available)
    • Company Name
    • email
    • Phone
    • by asking for his Visiting Card.
  • We will explain that the CD cannot be activated unless we enter this data, before handing over the CD.
  • Subsequently we can compile the database of those who took the RR CD, to follow up re: their feedback/usage etc.
  • We tell the requesters (of free CD) that we will keep in touch with them, so that we can get feedback on improvements to be incorporated in V 2.0.
  • We need NOT tell them that our RR S/W will automatically send out email messages to the resume-owners! Users of all free email services are used to this kind of "promotion-messages" at the bottom of each email they send out/receive. This is a very acceptable practise for people who want to use FREE services.
  • By this piggy-back device, we avoid having to "spam" millions of jobseekers on our own! We avoid being black listed and avoid loading our own server!
  • Each email message will, at the bottom, carry the
    • Name of Sender
    • Company Name
    • Designation
    • (which we "activated" the CD.)
  • So emails will appear "GENUINE" to resume-owners.
  • To the extent possible, we should try to make CD, "uncopiable"-but don't waste time on this feature.
  • CD will be "Auto-Start" & contain detailed instructions on usage.
  • Let us keep 500 CDs ready before 22$^{\text{nd}}$.
