Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

JOB DESCRIPTION


     Rahul
                                 
    Our target is to make "Job Posting" very easy / very compelling.

    With this in mind, we recently added following features.:-

·     Currency Converter
      (To enable foreign companies to post jobs/ do "Vacancy Blasts")

·      Auto - fill of "Contact Info"
      (To save time)

·     Auto - fill of "Keywords" box

              - To save time

               - To establish "Relevance" with post being advertised

               - To be able to compute RAW SCORE for that job advt and therefore, to be able to compute "MATCH INDEX" with any resume.

    But the "Job Description" box continues to be a BIG HURDLE.

    I have seen HR managers having 10 years of experience, literally FUMBLE when it comes to writing a clear/ concise / appropriate Job - Description for any "Position/ Vacancy" they wish to Fill - up !

    This (writing of Job description) is, one of their biggest PAIN - POINT !

    We would score BIG, if we can help them out of this pain !

    And, it seems we CAN.

    By MASHING with our "Post Job" form

    http://online.onetcenter.org/find/quick?

    By modifying "Post Job" form as follows:


Job. Title/ Vacancy          



Fetch Job Description
·     From my own past job Advt. (Latest)
·     From Onetcenter


Job Description




Table: GR client  Job Secription


 Of course, recruiter would need to first entry / type "Job / Title/ Vacancy Name"   ,   before clicking on one of the links shown.

 If, clicking on "From my own past Job Advt (Latest)"
  Does not fetch any result, a message will ask him to click "From Onetcenter"

 If he has ever advertised for a vacancy/ position earlier, he would want to repeat the SAME job - description once again (Why re - invent the wheel ?).
  
 If, in the past, he has spent a lot of time researching & Composing a good/ relevant job - description (for  any given vacancy) then it is obvious that he would want to use it again.

 Of course, he can EDIT it, after the job - description box fills up.

 In which case, our S/W will delete the old one and replace it with the "edited" version (as long as  Vacancy Name/  Title/ Position tallies Perfectly).

    OR

    If "Vacancy Name / Title/ Position" entered, differs slightly from the earlier one, then, we can show him both the versions and allow him to choose anyone.
 

    Recruiter clicks on link From Onetcenter
  
    In this case, our S/W will enter the Position/ Vacancy/ Title             ,
Gogo
 
    into the search bar of O - net & click

The page fetched will be shown in a Separate window (-without hiding / covering "Job Description" box in our form?)

This will present to the recruiter, several links.

He will click one which he considers "most relevant" to his needs.

That will open (in the same window), full job - description.

Some portions of the job - description may be relevant and some may be irrelevant.

But, I suppose, he can "Copy/ Paste" into the "Job Description" box then EDIT it.

It is easier to edit something you are presented with than to Construct from scratch !

However, I feel our "Job Description" box with its 4 line is too small fav. editing we need some trick!

This morning I tried some 30/40 "Position/ Title/ Vacancy - Name" in O - Net and found very good / relevant links.

It seems O - net's "Relevance" score mechanism (algorithm) is based on "keywords" having certain "weightages" and therefore very similar to our own "Raw Score / Percentile Score" Concept. MASHING such a web site with our own  website, enhances the credibility of our website. It is a kind of "Endorsement" of our logic !

Since Poonam had worked on modifying "Job Post" form recently, I suggest that she take ups as her next project,  as soon as she has completed her current project. I have given her / shalaka, a demo of O - net's capabilities.
