"Candidate Registration"

In my earlier note, I have shown, at very bottom of this form:

☑ Send my resume against suitable/matching job-advt

☑ I accept Terms & Conditions

[ Submit ]

For this, I suggest following:

▶ "Suitable"/matching job-advt

 whatever "matching" criteria you are currently using

▶ Job-advt

 only those downloaded/posted during last 24 hrs

▶ Period → Daily

▶ Do not send a candidate’s resume to same advertiser more than ONCE-A-MONTH. This is to avoid "duplication" – since we know that many companies keep "re-posting" same advt again & again, for a few days, to attract applications.

▶ Only MASTER/DEFAULT resume to be sent, if candidate has filled-in only STAGE 1

 But once he has "Customized" and made any version ACTIVE, then that version to go.

▶ Shall we send only LINK or full resume?

▶ Next, do we capture the "Resume Forwarded" data for each candidate and show it to him on his "My Page"? If yes, to what depth of details do we show it?

Of course, simplest would be to show him one, single, Cumm. figure, as we plan to do in case of "Resume Blast", viz:

Cumm. No. of Resumes Sent

to Matching Job Adverts [_______]

Let us incorporate this in V 1.0

But,

should our planned "architecture" be such as to capture detailed data such as:

• Datewise/Monthwise/Yearwise

• No. of times sent "Company-wise" by any given candidate (Cumm.)

• No. of times sent "Company-wise" by ALL candidates put together (Cumm.)

• No. of times sent against a given job-advt. by all candidates put together (Cumm.)

How will capturing such detailed data help us?

Will this help:

▶ to make job-advertisers and candidates spend more time on our site, making it “sticky”? – to visit their respective “My Pages” frequently to see what is happening? Return visits.

▶ Will this (data-capture), help us develop a better “Recommendation System” for candidates?

▶ Can this (data-capture) help us develop a (pseudo) Popularity Index for job-advertisers? See next page:
