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?"

JOB SITE PROMOTION -1


How to Promote Our Website Amongst Jobseekers

To: Shuklendu → Nitin → Hardik
Pages: 1/6 to 6/6 (plus final promo email draft)


📄 Page 1/6

Main Problem:

In absence of funds, our biggest problem is that we cannot ADVERTISE / PUBLICIZE our website through traditional media such as:

  • Newspapers

  • TV

  • Online Ads

  • Hoardings etc.

✅ Only method available = Sending promo emails to a database of jobseekers' email IDs.


We already have:

  • A database of ~3 lakh email IDs (used for past 2-3 years)

  • Very little response from this batch.


This week, we purchased (Rs. 4,000):

Email database of 70 LAKH jobseekers from a Nashik party (3 CDs enclosed)


👉 Apart from emails, this database contains structured information like:

  • Name

  • DOB

  • Education

  • Job Function / Industry

  • Phone etc.

Almost everything we try to capture in our Jobseeker Registration (Basic + Detailed).


📄 Page 2/6

✅ We could extract these 70 lakh emails and send usual promo invites to register on our site.

BUT
Instead, we propose a better approach:


💡 Proposed Approach

  • Look at the “Mapping / Comparison” between:

    • Our “Jobseeker Registration” database

    • 70 lakh CD database

✅ In the 70 lakh CD: we already have almost all required fields


🛠️ Action

Upload 70 lakh records into our online jobseeker database, and generate:

  • 70 lakh “Edit Resume” pages

  • 70 lakh “Edit Detailed Resume” pages

Note: Initially these pages will be missing:

  • PEN

  • TEXT Resume

  • User ID / Password

  • Some missing or wrong fields


📄 Page 3/6

📧 Promo Email:

Sent to candidate when record is added to our database

They click a link, which takes them to:

Their “MY EDIT” page
Where they see data uploaded from backend


📨 Email prompts user to:

  • Complete “MISSING” data

  • Edit “WRONG” data

  • Upload TEXT resume

  • Select User ID / Password

  • Click SAVE & CONTINUE


❗Problem:

Neither “Edit Resume” nor “Edit Detailed Resume” pages allow UserID / Password entry.

➡️ Solution Needed:

  • Should we assign User ID / Password ourselves and include in promo email?


📄 Page 4/6

🖊️ Once candidate completes EDITING → PEN gets allotted

Then, on Jobseeker Registration Page he sees:

"Latest Candidate Registered"
(Also on “Latest Resumes” page?)

✅ This reassures him that record is accepted
He can now:

  • Use Job Suggest

  • Receive Resume Blast

  • Start applying for jobs


💡 Question:

Will “My Job Alert Page” also get created at this stage?


✅ If our email drives even 10% click-through from 70 lakh candidates, we win a major battle:

Bringing jobseekers to our site!


📄 Page 5/6

✅ Most candidate data already FILL-UP in advance by us

This amazes them and nudges them to complete missing fields.


🔍 In CD: field called “Candidate ID No”

Suggests data may have been pirated from Naukri (via insider)


✅ As for Functions and Industry in resumes:

  • SAME across all jobportals

  • Job portals use same master database for:

    • Submit Resume

    • Search Resume

    • Post Job

    • Search Jobs

👉 If records are from Naukri, we've already mapped them to our master.


📄 Page 6/6

With our OWN MASTERS:

  • We mapped Naukri’s “functions” and “industry” to our system

  • Did same for RSS feeds from:

    • TimesJobs.com

    • ClickJobs.com


🎯 Hence, converting "fields" in 70 lakh CDs to our MASTERS is feasible.


⚠️ Records without email IDs = USELESS

  • But still may leave 60 lakh usable records

  • Which is far more than any Indian job portal!


🚨 We must give this project TOP PRIORITY

It’s our last hope to generate traffic.
