Some 2/3 years back, I have already penned some
thoughts on this subject even prepared a U/I for a webpage.
But, during these 2/3 years, many things have
changed.
eg.
. Web has
expanded many fold
. Google
has launched Google Search Appliance (GSA)
. We
launched India Recruiter.net and made available (for free download)
"Resume Rater" of which, more than 13000 copies have got downloaded
from various websites
. We
launched customize Resume on 14-11-09
. We are
in the process of Cleaning - up ISYS database to ensure that it contains
nothing but "Resumes".
. By
subscribing to File factory.com, we enabled visitors (Of India Recruiter), to
download over 3 lakh text resumes (in
batches of 1000 at a time)
. We have
already uploaded approx. 2.5 lakh text resumes on Customize Resume. com which
are freely downloadable.
. 3P are
using "In Box Reader" developed by Vikram 3 years ago
. We have
downloaded software some 2 weeks back, which converts all kinds of (resume)
documents into PDF Format.
. Alex
has developed a S/W which detaches all attachments from incoming emails (which
are mostly resumes)
. We have
processed 14 PST files to separate out unsolicited resumes received at
"Contact@3pjobs.com", during last 10 years.
Lastly.
. We have
thought of developing a (freely downloadable) S/W TOOL (Resume Retriever ?)
Which
Will,
. Read
all incoming emails
.
Separate "Resume" - Containing emails
. Clean
- up Resumes
.
Convert to PDF
.
"Rate" & give raw score / function - category
.
Arrange in descending order
. Index
all keywords (after removing all junk keywords)
. Make
all these text resumes "Searchable" on chosen keywords,
.
Incorporate "Resume Parser" as & when we develop.
In a manner similar to ISYS.
This is to be done by plugging in Google Search
Appliance API.
.
Incorporate GuruSish/ GuruCast.
. Make
U/I, somewhat similar to the LONG TAIL RESUME
Interface as per my yesterday's note we may, at
first develop such a tool and use it OFFLINE, using ISYS database TO establish
that
. It
works better/ faster than ISYS
. It is
more user friendly.
If it does, then the next question is :-
Can we develop it (using Google Search Appliance
API & in ASP 3.5) and make it freely downloadable for any one ?
If possible, can we use it to "disrupt"
the current online / offline recruitment industry ?
In itself, "disrupting on industry",
cannot be a worthy goal !
What good is an innovation, (whether disruptive or
otherwise), unless it benefits the entire society?
If such a tool has to benefit the "entire
society" (-even at the cost of one industry viz : Online recruitment),
then such a tool, must facilitate.
"JOB FOR ALL = PEACE ON EACH "
This has to be the "Super - Ordinate
Goal" behind the development of such a TOOL.
A somewhat sub - ordinate goal can be (to copy
Google's philosophy)
"Organize Resumes & Jobs related info. of
the world"
Which (info) is a tiny fraction of "All the
info. of the World".
And this is how I propose we will do.
Launch www.ResumesExchanger.Com
Make this Tool (to be called "Exchanger")
freely downloadable _ but after due registration and activation link. we want
to capture all feature activity of each user)
The tool will lock - in (hard - coded integration)
with the MAIL - BOX of each user.
This will ensure that each & every that resume
/ resume attachment, arriving into that mailbox (- irrespective of email ID), gets CAPTURED & PROCESSED by
the TOOL.
The user cannot selectively "process"
only some resumes arriving into this mailbox. He will have no control over
the processes of that tool.
The tool will need to be "activated"
every morning, by linking - up with
www.ResumeExchanger.com.
This activation will consist of
a UPLOAD button (The DONATION button)Clicking on which will automatically
"upload" onto our Server database, all the text resumes processed by
the tool Since the Previous instance.
This action will force the user to
"donate" (to the central database), all the incoming resumes into this
mailbox.This is the "Price"
he pays.
Of course, we must make an "enabling"
provision in the tool, whereby the user can, "Add/ process/ Upload"
Thousands of resumes received by him over the years
and lying on his hard - disk - that is resumes received before the installation of the tool. If we take all
recruiting agencies & Employers, this fig. would run into MILLIONS! -Thousand time bigger than Monster + Naukri
!1
A SYNCHRONIZE buttonThis can be clicked ONLY AFTER clicking on UPLOAD
button
When he clicks on this button, he downloads our
ENTIRE ONLINE RESUMES database, onto his hard disk, and becomes a part - and - parcel of his
OFFLINE "EXCHANGER" tool.
With this click, our ONLINE database on our server
(which is growing every minute) his OFFLINE database in the tool, stand "Synchronized" And this
will happen, even if no resume got uploaded when he clicked on UPLOAD button !
In fact, during the very first operation of
SYNCHRONIZE button, user will get to download some 3/4 lakh text resumes from our server ! ! (- changed
this ideas later)
It is entirely possible that, after 3/4 weeks, he
registers once again, under a different name and repeats the mischief.
We will need to find a way to prevent this from
happening. Ex. : Our S/W finding if there was any previous installation on hard disk ? Our USP (Unique
Selling Proposition) is :
"With hundreds / thousands of users, daily
uploading Lakhs/ Millions of resumes, our online database is growing phenomenally bigger than Monster/ Naukri
within a few days !And you get to daily download this hugely growing
database, by downating/ contributing a few dozen / hundred resumes.
In this arrangement, every user if contributing a
small no. of resumes but every user is getting, in return, a huge no. of
resumes - FREE OF COST
After a while, you will have no need to subscribe
to Naukri/ Monster/ Times Jobs and pay a huge monthly/ annual fee running into lakhs of rupees.
In fact, within a few months, you own OFFLINE
resume database will far exceed the online resume database of any job - portal in the entire world !
If you think, what resume database you currently
have on your hard disk is UNIQUE and that no one else has got those resumes, then you are sadly mistaken
!
Every single resume on your hard disk is also on
the hard disks of 100 other recruiters / corporate and on 5/10 job portals !
You are exchanging these picks for gold !
Resumes Exchange is designed to distribute every
resume to the farthest corner of the earth ! "
