ADDITIONAL POINTS

Abhi,

Tool Stops Working after 24 hrs. unless UPLOAD and SYNCHRONIZE buttons get clicked again.

We must assume that there will be thousands of small companies who do not need to / care to install "Exchanger"

    . Because, they hardly receive any text resumes thru email

    . Because they do not subscribe to any job portal

    . Because they employ 1 or 2 people every year.

For such users, we will allow to conduct Resume Search Online on ResumesExchange.com

But, They cannot download any resume, but, they can send message to those candidates thru contact me button overload/ crash the site !

Each registered user will be assigned a UNIQUE ID. Each resume that gets uploaded from this users, will carry that unique ID - so we know which / how many resumes came from where.

Allowing casual / online visitors to search resumes and send contact me messages will also serve as LIVE DEMO/ FREE TRIAL. to explain the concept of "EXCHANGER"

On Second thought, I suggest we allow a new user to download our entire online database of resumes along wife  the downloading of ECHANGER TOOL.

we will go one step further and place a prominent message (next to DOWNLOAD button) which reads

 

Dear Visitor :

          When you click on the DOWNLOAD button, along with the EXCHANGER tool, you will be downloading, our entire current database of resumes absolutely FREE".

I think this will be powerful incentive to join

With each jobseeker sending his resume to 100 recruiters and 200 employers, without doubt, we will get hundreds of resumes (-may be millions !) which are DUPLICATE. This is inevitable - almost certain for each & every resume that gets uploaded donated.

Should we try to remove the duplicates? I don't think we should ; for the following reasons.

We want to keep count of "No. of resumes donated/ contributed" by each user of Exchanger (daily & Cumulative) ADMIN TOOL We want to make our online database look big/ huge, etc.

    No. of Resumes (Total)

    No. of Resumes Contributed today

In "Our Subscriber" list, against each registered users' name, we want to show the "No. of resumes contributed"-dynamically.  We may even consider listing of the subscriber - names in the descending order Of the "No. of resumes Contributed". This is our method of "Recognizing" the most generous subscribers. Not only will this be a big EGO Booster but also act as a MOTIVATOR to others.

   

Not only on our Starting Database of 3/4 lakh resumes but on each subsequent resume contributed by any user, we must

(- like what HOTMAIL did when they enabled free use of their email service) After getting uploaded, each & every resume gets downloaded. Can we place CONTACT ME button/ software on each - so that, even after downloading, every user can use if to send messages to candidates ? This can pose on enormous load on our server. But on other hand, we can capture "Who is contacting whom ? " which candidate is getting most messages ? - Even if we don't care about the content of the message.

Every morning when a user clicks on SYNCHRONIZE button, his entire resume database residing in EXCHANGER tool, will get totally replaced by the new online database getting downloaded. This is because he will be downloading 80% - 90% of the resumes AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN everyday !

 

I don't think this will work due to huge upload/ Downloaded we will have to make this "incremental" of last 24 hrs.
