JOB POST WIDGET

Job Post” Widget – Concept Note

Date: 30/06/12

Background / Assumptions:

▶ For jobs database today, we are dangerously dependent upon RSS feeds from Naukri / TimesJobs / ClickJobs.

▶ We will reduce (but not eliminate) this dependence by getting RSS feeds from MonsterIndia / JobsAhead / Jobstreet and other job portals.

▶ When more Employers register on our website, hopefully, they will post jobs online.

▶ But, in India, perhaps no more than 80,000 employers are using job portals for online recruitment (See the list in our RESUMEBLAST database).

These are employers who have “access” to internet in their offices AND who have/are already using Naukri / Monster / TimesJobs etc.

▶ But, there are millions of other SMALL / MEDIUM size employers who have NO access to internet and therefore, have never used a jobsite for their recruitment needs.

These are small/medium businesses, retailers, shops, service-repair companies, etc. etc.

▶ These small/medium roadside establishments you see as you walk along any street in any city/town, "companies", employ maybe 3/5 persons,

and,

need to hire (maybe) 1 or 2 people (including replacements) per year.

▶ Apart from the fact that they have NO PC/Broadband in their offices (to access jobsites), they cannot afford to pay Rs. 25,000/- for a Quarterly Subscription to Naukri etc. just to advertise 1 vacancy/year!

But that does not mean they would not use internet-based recruitment if

• they can post their job-vacancy (on CustomizeResume, of course), using a Smartphone-based "App"

• they don't need to pay anything for such posting (FREE)

• they can receive "Brief Resume" as email on their smartphone

• If they can click/touch the mobile no. (of applying candidate) directly in that email

In fact, a much better / instant "service" could be:

• SME employer posts his vacancy (on CustomizeResume) using his smartphone
  (He would need PC/Internet ONCE in the beginning, to register as Employer and get his User ID / Password, in order to use "Post Job" widget).

But then, we too must make some money even as we offer this as a FREE service to employers!

• One way to do this (make money) is by revealing only 5 resume highlights to the employer, at-a-time.

• If he wants to see more, then, he will need to touch/view a product advt. delivered by Yahoo/InMobi advt. network.

• What would various screens to "POST JOB" look like?

As usual:

These are my preliminary thoughts

on the subject of

"Post Job" Widget.
Just as we are trying to make job search OBSOLETE, thru MyJobs, idea is to make resume search obsolete thru POST JOBS.
People don't want to spend time "searching".

They have just enough time to "find" things which are relevant to their needs.
Which employer has time/luxury to post his job advt

and then,

wait and wait and wait for the right candidates to "discover" that advt (from lakhs & lakhs) and then "apply"?
Only to discover after 30 days, that

▶ only the WRONG candidates had time to discover your ad and apply!

Big Companies have full-fledged recruitment departments full of recruiters.

They have set-up processes to

▶ Post Jobs

▶ Search Resumes

▶ Short list

▶ Send out interview-call emails etc. etc.

They can afford all these “processes”

and all these full time “staff”

because

▶ they have many vacancies (New as well as replacements)

▶ vacancies arise around the year with regularity

But SME (Small Medium Enterprises)

▶ have ONE vacancy in a year

▶ no staff or processes

▶ no luxury of “time” to fill vacancy

▶ no budget for jobsite subscriptions

▶ usually want a LOCAL person only

(so, why not eliminate screen for CITY selection?)

By default, Employer’s CITY address to be taken for match-making.
