ADDITIONAL POINTS ( I )

“FRESH GRADUATES” feature

27/07/2011

Additional points (1)

► In my “concept note”, I mentioned that ALL 40 lakh fresh graduate “records” become available under “Resume Search” from DAY ONE itself (i.e. as soon as a record gets uploaded into database.

As a corollary, when a recruiter selects / clicks on any PEN in the search results, that “record”

► becomes “visible”

► becomes “downloadable”

You would have noticed that I am using the word “record” instead of “resume”.

Because, what we have received is a string of 25 “fields” for each candidate.

Even though it is a “record” and not a “resume”, we must ensure that, when it is “viewed” by an employer, its “cosmetic presentation” / display is EXCELLENT.

It must look like a well-designed / well-arranged RESUME – and not a “record”.

This is very important issue.

Matching Resumes when a job gets posted

You can call a “Job Posting” action, as some kind of PASSIVE “Resume Search” action.

Post Job

A recruiter posts a job and expects that jobseekers (interested/suitable) will “discover” that job during “job search” and apply – even as the recruiter is passively (lazy?) waiting!

Resume Search

Recruiter has no time. He is in a hurry. He cannot wait for some jobseekers to discover his “posted job”.

So he actively conducts a resume-search, to, himself discover, matching/suitable resumes.

This is the reason why “CRITERIA / FIELDS” in both,

➤ Job Post

➤ Resume Search

are nearly identical!

So, about 2 years ago when we launched CustomizeResume, we decided that as soon as a recruiter posts a job, we will immediately show below, a set of “Matching Resumes” fetched from our resume database.

May be around that time, other jobsites

also introduced this feature.

A “Job Post” was equated with “Resume Search”.

A software was written and this was even implemented.

But, within a few weeks, we had to withdraw this feature!

Simple reason.

We had just VERY FEW resumes for matching!

As a result, every time a recruiter posted a job advt, a message flashed,

“Sorry! No matching resumes found.”

This was very embarrassing!

So we discontinued it.

But now, in case of “FRESH GRADUATES” (only) we can re-introduce this concept.

This is because, as soon as a fresh grad. “record” gets uploaded, it becomes instantly searchable in “Resume Search”. No matter what job gets posted, we will always have plenty of matching fresh grad. resumes to display & amaze the recruiter!
