“Communicating For
Productivity”
You may recall that we had uploaded these circulars on
3pjobs.com (softcopies were prepared by Chavlin). These circulars were issued
by me to 7500 employees at L&T
(Powai) when I was GM (Powai).
Today I spoke to Punita Malhotra (Editor – Human Capital) re=these circulars and whether she
would be interested to publish these in here magazine. She seemed interested in
and asked me to email to her, 4/5 articles in order to decide.
If she agrees to print-and, at bottom of each circular,
prints
Author = H.C.
Parekh
Founder
then, it could give us a lot of free publicity. Then, if
these circulars get onto www.humancapital-online.com
(archives), we may get even more milage !
Can you please find these circulars from Hard Disk ? some
are archived on (web.archieve.org) as sown on attached page.

Ø
I had mentioned this earlier
Ø
Visited this homepage today (onepage website)
Ø
Brilliant idea – which clicked (not all do).
Ø
What can we learn from this idea ?
e.g. On global recruiter, can we create “a page”, where we host
logos of (say) 5000 TOP INDIAN job advertising companies (colourful logos), with
each logo, when clicked, takes the visitor to
the homepage of that company’s website ? Each logo a hyperlink. Homepages of
most jobsites do show 15/50
Logos of “Featured” Employers. But none has 5000 logos !
Such a page could
be hosted on “Jobseeker” side.
We have already accumulated names of 49300 companies (form 5/6 lakh
job-advts).
You have to arrange these Co. Names in the ”descending order of the
job-advt posted” so far.
Of course, then, we have to remove all those companies, which do not
have own websites.
We also have to remove those companies which do not have logos !
Abhi
What makes any job portal look “Glamorous” ?
Practically every jobsite worth its name, flaunts (parades/displays) 2
thigs on its homepage:
# 1
A huge list of names of
job-advertisers – running into hundreds, at times
Each name clickable. When
clicked all jobs of that company are neatly tabulated (short summary)
In turn, in this
tabulation, one can click on the “Position” and see the full advt.
# 2
Logos & more
colourful logos – may be 20/30 logos.
Each logo is also
clickable.
When clicked, it displays
the same short-summary tabulation described above.
Only this morning, we
talked about “Searching jobs by Company Name” – and you said we will
incorporate it soon.
Of course, these features
can be incorporated only in IndiaRecruiter (neither on Global Recruiter nor on
WWS).
But we should do this,
keeping in mind that the homepage must not look crowded/congested. This is the
problem with Naukri- as also with Clickjobs.com
(which I am right no surfing)
I am sure you will find a
clever way to do this
Ø
Incidentally, Clickjobs.com, on its homepage, has
a button called “Live Help” – worth checking out’.
Ø
On Clickjobs.com you cannot enter the job code
(available in Free Press yesterday) to see full job advt.

Leveraging timesjobs.com
to
our advantage
We cannot forget that one of our biggest problem has been,
“which company belongs to which Industry ? “
Unless this issue gets resolved,
job searching by “Industry” drop list (on India Recruiter) was impossible.
A solution sems to in sight !
This morning while job searching
on timesjobs.com, I found short-display (job summary) in following manner
Job Summary |
Company Details |
Location |
|
Exactly what we need ! |
|
And since this info. is based on
what that company, itself has entered (about itself), while “Post Job”, this data is
perfect/absolutely reliable.
All we need to do is to find a
spider which can download this info.
Srl. No. |
Company Name |
Industry (timesjobs) |
Industry (Global Recruiter |
|
|
|
|
We can do one more thing while downloading:
Srl No. |
Company Name (in timesjobs) |
Company Name (wwj 49300 advt. download |
E-mail ID |
|
|
|
|
In which case email ID (in our daily downloads) has to be the SAME for
both records !
This will solve our problem that
timesjob are NOT displaying email ID of job advertisers and therefore,
downloading of job advts from timesjobs is no use !

Ø
Yahoo Story
You may want to update
yourself on Yahoo’s
Myweb
2.0
(based on Flicker
technology).
In my notes (Co-creation
of Value) I have listed a few examples of how we can capture the
knowledge/wisdom of HR Manager/Jobseekers – in order to stay, far for ahead of
competition.
Ø
Nakuri Story
It always
helps to know how you competitor’s mind works.
So, whatever
Bhikchandani is “thinking” of, must always interest us !
Right now, he
thinking
Ø
“to put out all his 80,000 jobs ads on
aggregators such as Google and Yahoo (this will give his clients, a large
response level).
Ø
“his search algorithm will be a lot more robust
than the single box searches of the us.
( In the last
year itself, Naukri changed its search algorithm 20 times to take into account changing needs of the client base)
Ø
He admires Google Consumer Surplus Model
With such thinking and an
expected revenue of Rs. 90 Crores + a staff of 775 – Naukri is our FORMIDABLE
opponent !
But, long time back, we concluded
that, we cannot take on Naukri/Monster/timesjobs, on their turf,
following their rules !
So, we have gone about creating
for ourselves an altogether different “Category” within online recruitment
marketplace, where we are the ONLY (single) Player -where we have no competition.
That is
world-wide-job
And we are trying to
publicise/brand WWJ thru JAS – without spending a rupee.
Even if Monster/Naukri/timesjobs
notice WWJ, they are unlikely ditch/jettison their existing business-model and
revenue model in order to compete with us. Chances are that, for a long time to
come, they will consider us “insignificant’
(-which would be good for WWJ)
But the moment they feel
threatened, they will try their best to see that we cannot download their
job-advt (at least not easily).
To be prepared for such a
situation,
Ø
We are about to launch Global Recruiter
Ø
We need download job-advts from as many other
jobsites as possible
(including jobsites from USA-UK-Canada-
Australia etc.
Then,
Before Bhikchandani succeeds in
persuading Google (to partner with him),we must convince Google that it is best
for them to tie-up with us.
“Whereas Naukri can give Google
80000 job, posted on Naukri only, we will/must give Google 8 million jobs – and
posted on a large no. of jobsites-Indian & foreign !
From Aug till 14th Dec
(i.e. 4½ months) we have downloaded 214,2227 advts. If we take all from the day
we started, this fig could be 500,000 !
Before Naukri offers to Google
80,000, shall we offer Google 500,000 ?
Of course, Naukri will claim that
their 80,000 are “CURRENT/LIVE’ ads
whereas our 500, 000 are “OBSOLEE/DEAD” !
But Bhikchadani seems to think
that, even in case of Job Advt (i.e. classifieds, in American terminology),
Google will continue with a “Single Box Search” (Single search bar – as for any
keyword based search today on all search engines).
I agree with him that should
Google continue with a “Single Search Box” even in case of Job Advts., is smart
enough to know that.
If Google decides to make
available “Job Search”, it will be database search (involving
multiple/simultaneous Search Criteria) – and not a mere
Listing of “Webpage links”. Even
in its current model (Single Search box), Google knows that, returning 5
million results on 50,000 pages is STUPID ! – No one goes beyond 2/3 pages !
This aspect is brough out again
and again, in the book “Search”, which I gave you.
And if Yahoo is working on giving
a searcher, just 50 “highly relevant” resulta (instead of 5 millin) – then you
can rest assure that Google will want to do the same – and much earlier than
yahoo !
And, our job is to convince
Ashish Kashyap that, if, in respect of Job-Search, Google India pioneers,
multi-box search, giving few but far more relevant search-results, then he
(Ashish) may well become a ‘hero” amongst Google Staffers ! For the rest of the
Google Worldwide, he would have taken a lead!
Somewhere in the article, Sanjeev
justifies giving to Google, his 80000 job-advts, by saying,
“this
will give his client a larger response level”
How ?
If he thinks that Google India will
continue with a “Single Box Search” in case of jobs, the his 80000 jobs, will
throw-up 2000 results, if someone types (in single box) “Java” !
Does he really believe that a
jobseeker will painstakingly go thru 2000 results so that he can click “Apply
online” against 20 ? If not, then, how are his client (Corporate advertisers)
likely to get “a larger response level” ? very doubtful.
And, unless, Naukri finds a way
to upload its 5 million resumes as well, on Google-Server, how can a job seeker
click “Apply Online” ? Unless this message gets passed-onto Naukri’s server
along with
ð Jobseeker’s
ID ( PEN)
ð Advertiser
ID/Job code No.
On the other hand, if Google
India becomes a “partner” of Global Recruiter, not only the integration a
matter of hours but Google has no need to worry about databases/servicing of
jobseekers or Corporates !
As far as Yahoo India is
concerned, it may not consider Naukri’s offer favourably because of its tieup
with timesjobs. Therefore, we can expect Naukri to market itself aggressively
with Google.
But, for us to come out ahead in
this race we need to upload 100,000 jobs on global Recruiter – and fast !
10-12-2005
Abhi
I think, sometime back, I made a
suggestion that, as soon as a jobseeker submit his resume & fills up his
“job-preferences” and submits,
We deliver on his mobile 5 job-alert
SMS within 60 seconds !
Since WWJ does not have a
regular/typical job search feature -line all other jobsites, my suggestion has
a merit, in that
Ø
Registering jobseeker gets assured that WWJ,
actually does have a large database of fresh job-advts
Ø
He is convinced that our “Match-making” software
does actually work & give relevant results
Ø
Our tie-up with Airtel/MTNL is for “REAL” (as
claimed by us) and that the “delivery” does take place on his handset, as
promised and that he can look forward a regular daily delivery from next day.
A message
should flash on his PC screen (as soon as he clicks “Submit”, as follows:
Dear Jobseeker
Ø
Thank you for registering
Ø
In the next 60 seconds, you will receive, on
your mobile, 5 JAM alerts.
Ø
These are job downloaded form various jobsites 2
days back.
Ø
Check these SMS alerts against your job
preferences – then, if need be, edit your job-preferences
(To edit, you
need to log-in with your user ID/Password)
Ø
These first 5 JAM SMS is only a demo
Your regular
service, starting tomorrow, can only be activated after you send SMS
JAM SUB
on [short code of your Mobile Service
Provider]
Alternatively,
can we show him these 5 Demo alert SMS on his PC screen, immediately ?
HOW TO RAPIDLY
BUILD-UP A HUGE RESUME DATABASE ON INDIA RECRUITER / GLOBAL RECRUITER ?
If we succeed
– and we will – in uploading 50,000 job advts today, then “JOB ADVT. DATABASE” will cease to be a problem.
50,000 job are
good enough for all kinds of candidates to conduct “Job-Searches” – and get
good results.
If they get
“good/relevant” results, they would also feel like “Apply online”. That would
prompt them to “submit Resumes” (without which, they cannot “apply online”).
So, e must
motivate jobseekers to visit India Recruiter and conduct job-searches.
But to get
this message across to the jobseekers, we need their email IDs.
We can try
following
Ø
Send a short email message to 22 Lakh email IDs
database which we have
Ø
Buy some more email ID databases (of
individuals)
Ø
Step up downloading of resumes and extraction of
email IDs from Monster/Naukri/JobsAhead.
Rajeev’s
software was successful in downloading over 10,000 resumes per day. This was
subsequently scaled-down to 1000 per day , in order not to arouse suspicions of
the webmasters.
Can we find a
clever methos to download 20,000/day without arousing suspicion ?
Ø
3P’s own resume database
During Diwali
holidays, we extracted 23000 email IDs in 6 days (i.e. 4000/day)
Can this rate
be stepped-up to 40,000 per day ?
By using all
30 computers from 6 pm till 8 am ?
If we can,
then, within 10/15 days, we could extract all.
If we succeed,
I realise that the problem will simply shift to
ð
Clever method to send-out 40,000 / 100,000 email
EVERY SINGLE day, without getting rejected / bounced by servers of Yahoo/Rediff
etc,.

Harnessing
Google
Quite sometime back, I had sent a note,
which contained following idea:-
When a HR Manager is interviewing a
candidate, often, he runs out of topics/subjects on which to ask questions to
that candidate ! (very common occurrence).
Then again, those questions have to be on
related subjects/topics – related to what the candidate claims to be his area
of knowledge -skills – expertise.
Now suppose, we develop a clever software
tool, whereby, when a HR Manager moves the cursor (Mouse-over ?) on any
particular word in the resume (online, of course), a box pops-up, containing a
SET of related words. With the help of these words, he can now probe the candidate
deeper.
In V.2 of this tool, instead of mere
“words”, we can have even full “question” pop-up !
To create a SET
of RELATED words, for thousand of words contained in resumes, was a project
beyond our resources even beyond
resources of a very large company. So we did not pursue this excellent idea-
and idea, which, at one stroke, would set us apart (differentiate) from the
likes of Monster/Naukri etc.
But, now, there could be solutions !
On Google, look at “Google Sets”.
It does exactly
what we want ! Give it one word, and it displays 5/10/20 “related” words (-sometime unrelated too).
I believe Google
manage to come up with this SET of related words, based on billions of
“Search-Queries” it must have accumulated in its Data Warehouse till today. I,
obviously, would not know the algorithm used by Google but one thing is certain.
Google could not
have asked 10,000 engineers to sit down and write down 100 related words for
100 million words.
Google believes
in harvesting the knowledge of its millions of daily visitors, conducting
billions of searches everyday.
Like Rheingold (“smart
Mobs”), Google believes in harnessing the power of millions of its visitors to
somehow come-up with a “CONSENSUS” answer, which is, Statistically “correct”.
(Like Audience Poll” of Kaun Banega Crorepati). Again and again, it is proved
that the majority is right in a Audience Poll.
In the past,
you/Vikram constructed “Harvester” where
Google is working in the background -quietly and without anyone knowing. (one
day we must have an “Online” version of harvester on Global Recruiter - for employers to headhunt Executive Names and
hen forward the list to their favourite Head-hunter for an offline ”Search
Mandate”)
In much the same
way, we should “mash” “Google Sets” into
our Global sets” into our Global Recruiter, for following purposes:
Ø To
find and pop-up “related” words, when a HR Manage moves cursor (or clicks) on
any word in the ONLINE resume.
In itself , this feature will attract corporate HR Managers
to patronise our partner websites.
Ø
To use “Google Sets” to automatically
re-compute” (at predetermined intervals-and may be offline), the probabilities
of occurrence of keywords, belonging to each of our 29 functions.
In the enclosed flow diagram, I have shown how this can be
done.
You will recall that, originally, when we wanted to plot
“Function Profile” graphs, you-Inder Kartaya had to manually select some 30/50
keywords for each “functions” – then plug in their probabilities, into the
software.
I believe, we had also devised a mechanism where by these “Probabilities”
can get re-computed/updated at set intervals, based on addition/arrival of new resumes, during the interval.
But since we shut down Recruitguru, we did not get a chance
to activate this AUTO-UPDATE mechanism.
Although, we have no intention to immediate (in near
future), add the Function Profile Graphs in Global Recruiter, the idea of
AUTO-UPDATE of probabilities has merits
One such “merit” is described in step # 6 on enclosed
chart, viz

Taken from Rajeev’s profile on WWJ
Now, if these words were to be
entered into Google Sets, we may come-up with 500 other -related words.
Out of these, those which are most
frequently occurring 9highet probabilities), can be shown in the adjoining box.
Now, after looking at the POP-UP
Box, if the candidate finds that there are a few which are relevant to his
knowledge Profile, he would simply “Copy Paste” And everytime this happens, we
are continuously refining the “KNOWLDEGE-BASE”, automatically too !
What I have described in enclosed FLOW-CHART, applies to “Future Arrivals” of
resumes thru GR/IR, where, a candidate has himself identified as belonging to
function x/y/z.
Hence resumes are automatically
getting sorted by FUNCTIONS. So, preparing function-wise “SUBSETS” (for
indexing/processing) is easy.
But, on the other hand, we have
accumulated 5/6 Lakh text resumes in our database over last 15 years.
Out of thee, you are trying to
upload GR?IR, 1.18.000 (approx.), which, at onetime, you had extracted using
GuruMine.
(-hence, presumably, we known
their (Func”).
That still leaves out a large no.
Even though, we may not be able to
upload these balance 4/5 lakhs, we could still use these, to our benefit, as
follows:
Using Google Desktop, et us index
these 4/5 lakh. Then remove garbage words. You may still be left with 100,000 meaningful words.
One-by-one, enter each of these
words into “Google Sets” (-of Course, automated process), and, find, on
-an-average, (Say) if other words.
That gives you 1 lakh x 15 = 15
lakh words.
Many would be repeated & many
times.
Calculate “Frequency of
Occurrence”
(Probablities) & arrange in
descending order.

HOW
MANY WAYS?
See enclosed tabulation. Have I
missed out any other “method” of applying ? Of Course, all cases will require
that the candidate concerned has first
submitted/posted his resume on one of the partner websites. If not, a message
will flash:
Dear Jobseeker
Thank you for wanting to
use our Resume Forwarding Service (Apply Online). We would be happy to serve
you – but we can’t find your resume in our database ! to submit your resume,
click on REGISTER.
Rahul
Irrespective of the case/method/instance,
(i.e. in all cases), only ImageBuilder Version, with Functino Profile Graphs,
must be forwarded to concerned advertiser or Placement Agency (in case of
Resume Blast). We may attach plain text resume-in addition to ImageBuilder.
Do you see any problem ?
One important rule:
In “Submit Resume” form, under “Personal
Information” bloc, a jobseeker first fills in some 13/14 fields about himself.
Then, at the bottom, he custs/pastes his plain text
resume and clicks
I presume, at this point GuruMine
will kick-in and process the text resume and extract 23 fields.
These are SAME fields, as in
“Personal Info” block !
But, obviously, field-value
entered by candidate himself in the “Personal Info”, block, are
accurate/correct/latest-uptodate
Whereas, GuruMine may
ð Fail
to extract a value
ð Extract
a WRONG Value
But, we cannot make manual/Visual
comparison ! Impossible.
So, the safest thing to do, would
be to
Ø
take “Correct” value form “Personal Info” block.
Ø
insert these in ImageBuilder-ignoring the value
extracted my GuruMine !
“Behind the Scene” manipulation).
As far as the candidate is
concerned, he will amazed at the “accuracy” with which GuruMine has succeeded
in extracting Value from his plain/text resume !
Of course, his focus, at this
moment, will be on
Ø Keywords
extracted
Ø Function
Profile Graphs generated
If this “Substitution/replacement”
of value in ImageBuilder is done properly, then there will be not need for
candidate to EDIT the ImageBuilder.
And when a Employer receive a
ImageBuidler (along with original text resume), he has, of course, no means to
know/figure-out, how exactly GuruMine managed to achieve such great “accuracy”
!
Next, we must have a button on
“Submit Resume” form which reads
Obviously, this would require
showing/displaying the ImageBuilder to the candidate and, at the bottom, flashing
a message
Obviously, this would require
showing/displaying the ImageBuilder to the candidate and, at the bottom,
flashing a message
Dear Jobseeker
Every time you “Apply
Online”, along with our text resume, we will also forward to the
Employer/Advertiser, your ImageBuilder. So, before downloading, please ensure
that there are no mistakes/missing data in ImageBuilder. Edit, where required.

Round
The Clock
We need to rest at night but computers
don’t In fact all computers hosting websites work round the clock 24x365
This (running computers round-the-clock)
becomes even more critical for companies who are fund-starved and who cannot
afford to let their important resources to remain idle -even at night.
So, even offline business must
find way-and-means to utilize their computing resources at night, dong things
and running processes which do not require human attention/intervention.
Soo in our Reliance Server will
get busy attending to the instructions/commands of Victors to WWJ-GR-IR etc. etc.
These servers must be kept “free” only for that purpose. Whatever else they are
doing-and which can be done offline, must be transferred to our local machines.
And local machines can work at night
What can local m/cs do at night?
Ø Download
job advts
-
besides Naukri, we need to start downloading
form Monster/JobAhead & timesjobs/Ciol/ Jobstreet etc.
Ø Download
resumes
-
we have subscription from Monster
Next extract resumes using GuruMine. Then send out emails
to those candidates (enclosing their User ID/Password) asking them to login
& EDIT.
If we stabilize this process for Monster, we could start
subscribing to Naukri as well (may be 3 months subscription to experiment with)
Ø
Extract keywords form all downloaded (-and of
course “posted”) resumes, index to calculate “frequency of Usage” & allot
fresh weightages.
These fresh/revised “weightages” to be used to
recalculate/recompute raw-scores & percentile scores of all resumes,
in order to draw-up “revised” Function Profile graphs
You must decide, whether this process should be done
incrementally everyday
Or,
Once-a-week, take the total/entire/cumulated resume
database of all the resumes (whether downloaded or posted) and run the process
over the weekend
Ø
Bench Mark (B)
(i.e. comparing several resumes with any given JOB Advt –
i.e. the benchmark job advt)
The would require processing all job-advts thru GuruMine,
to find
1) Function
2) Keywords

About 2
years back Vikram developed a tool – which we called “Inbox Reader” - which, I believe, Vitthal is using even today,
to separate out (automatically)
● “resume”
emails from
● Correspondence
emails
From all incoming emails, “Inbox Reader”, figures-out which are
“Resumes” and then puts these in a separate folder.
Earlier, this process was being carried out manually by a girl and
used to take a full day ! Inbox Reader takes a few minutes ! Tremendous
increase in productivity.
Human use of Human Beings !
Ø
You can find out from Vikram, what logic he had
used in developing this tool.
Ø Most
spam-filter softwares are based on Beysian Theorem of Probability. Many are
free downloads. After checking with Reena, download some and experiment. Check,
how good these are at “learning” as more & more usage takes place.
Ø But
the s/w learns from Human beings. Human has to start-off by “telling” the s/w.
If you come across the following words in the mail, treat that email as a
spam & place it in a separate polder.
This some emails which are really SPAM - yet do not contain any of the
BAD words - will escape !
So, the human will carefully look at such “escaped” emails and try to
figure out some more BAD words. Then add these NEW BAD words to the list.
Now the s/w has a bigger knowledge-base. This process goes on and
accuracy (of detection &
elimination) keeps improving.
GuruMine works somewhat similar.
For each “Function” we have given it a starting “knowledge Base” of
30/40 Keywords.
If it finds these keywords in a text resume, it concludes that
ABC resume belong
to “Sales”
XYZ “ “
“ “Marketing”
In Gurumine, each keyword also carries “past frequency of usage” (Weightage).
So keywords found are arranged
in descending order of “Weightages”.
You should thoroughly understand (from Vikram/Rajeev) how GuruMine /
GuruSearch work.
Rajeev
cc: Vikram cc: Rahul
24-02-06
Replace old currency with New Currency
(text resumes) with (ImageBuilder)
Ø It
is for reason that we have decided to give away (free) GuruMine & GuruSearch
(without the Knowledge Base0 to subscribers.
Ø
For the same reason, we must allow/enable a
jobseeker to download his ImageBuilder
(including function Profile Graphs) as soon as she
● Pposts his text resume during “Submit resume” process.
Ø
Once he has downloaded ImageBuilder, we expect that
he will, in future, use only ImageBuilder, whenever he applies “offline”.
But then, he may not use it, if his raw score/percentile
score is POOR ! Such jobseekers will continue to send their plain/text resumes
to HR Managers.
Ø
By same
logic, those candidates, whose raw score/percentile score are very good, would
certainly like to impress the HR Managers by sending their ImageBuilders -even offline
!
I believe, these candidates, will keep coming back, again
& again, to download their latest copy
of ImageBuilders, containing their latest GRAPHS, with
latest raw score/percentile score.
They would be keen to find out whether their raw
score/percentile is getting better or worse !
(of course, raw score won’t change unless they edit/modify
their text - by adding some more
keywords).
But as more & more executives belonging to same
“Functions”, start depositing their resumes, then, the percentile score of
EVERYBODAY will change.
Ø
This (effect) is quite like my looking up
L&T stock-price every day in the evening (the only stock which I own) ! Not
a day will pass without seeing this.
Most people who own several stocks, look up newspapers
first thing in the morning & TV channels in the evening.
Some, even get live stock-quotes on their mobiles,, several
times a day !
All depends upon your level of investment. The greater the
investment, the greater the involvement intensity.
Then CFO/MD/Chairmen of each listed company never fail to
lookup their own company’s stock price, several times a day ! Their jobs,
literally depend upon their share-price !
Ø
Function Profile Percentile score is a kind of a
professional’s
“PERSONAL
STOCK PRICE” level
Especially, if HR Managers attach a lot
of importance to this score.
Then, you would want to comeback to
Global Recruiter EVERYDAY, and watch its movement !
Imagine if 3/5 lakh jobseekers were to
log-in EVERYDAY, just to be able to watch their latest percentile score !
That would make Global Recruiter – the
MOST STICKEY WEBSITE OF THE WORLD !
Where a person must return everyday !
Let us work towards this.

Development
Priorities
In enclosed pages, I have tried to
list (in order to importance/priority), various modules/features that e need to
develop.
To be able to launch GR, we need
No: 1/2/3, at least.
But we need to decide
Ø Who
will develop what
Ø When
(time-frame)
I would request you to go thru
these carefully, so that when we meet on Saturday, we could estimate time and
allocate these modules, depending upon no. of hours/week that each of us can
devote.
Rajeev

PROCESSES
I am a great
believer in automating all “processes’ elimination human intervention altogether.
Again, as each
process “start/triggers” a visitor to GR, must get a message, to tell him, what
is happening as a result of his click and how long will it take to display the
results. This is very important, if the process is likely to take more than 5
seconds.
Again as each
process “ENDS”, there should flash a message, as to what the visitor/user, is
supposed to do next.
This lack of
“TWO-WAY communication” is main problem with most websites. Thru each click, a
Visitor “instructs/commands” the website to “do ABC/XYZ”. As soon as a click is made, website must “acknowledge”
that it has understood the COOMAND and that , it is ACTING UPON that command.
This (message) is a great “assurance” to the visitor that, his command has been
“understood and being acted upon” Hence, do no try to economize on “conformation-Messages”
after each click.
Please study
enclosed processes.

JAS:
Job Advt. Summary
(for
printing by Newspapers)
Since you have
managed to
1)
Follow-up this matter with the editors
meticulously, and
2)
Establish a Personal “rapport” with these (very)
senior persons thru your persuasive style,
I would like
you to continue with this GOOD-WORK in future.
The
newspapers/publications should be segregated into following separate
files/folders:
#1) Those who have already “registered” (online or offline thru Fax) and to whom, we
are already sending daily email (EXCEL)
JAS.
As soon as each offline “fax” registration
is received, same should be handed over to Rahul to take following actions:
a)
to upload registration-details from the backend
and start daily email.
b)
To upload names of publications on our “FREE
CONTENT” page (WWJ) under link “Already Publishing”.
You should check with Rahul that JAS
emails have started going. Then check
(by phoning) with publication contact person, whether he has stated receiving
regularly. IF he faces any problems, get Rahul to speak to him over phone &
sort out the problem.
Find out (gently insist) as to when they
expect to start printing.
I forgot one VERY IMPORTANT step !!
As soon as you receive a faxed
registration (or even an “Online” Registration) you must fax/courier
(both) our
STANDARD TEMPLAE
According to which, the newspaper should carryout actual
printing.
The reason this (step) is important is that, many
newspapers are NOT giving providing enough space at the bottom for
|
|||
-------------------------------- -------------------------------- www.World-Wide-Jobs.com
|
Instructions “Credit”
/ Source
This defeats our sole purpose
behind giving daily FREE content, viz:
Free
Publicity for WWJ
Instructions must be readable and our
website URL must be in as large FONTS as possible – so that it gets noticed b y
jobseekers and so that at least some jobseekers are tempted to login WWJ &
find out more – and hopefully register as well ! This is our ultimate
Goal/objective in trying to get 400 newspapers around the country to start printing JAS everyday.
Viz:
ð
200 million reads (of these 400 newpapers) must get to see, day-after-day-after-day,
our brand
World-Wide-Jobs.com
So that, someday, our brand, becomes even more well known
than Coca-Cola !
This is why, we must repeatedly (but gently) persuade
Newspapers to use a FONT. They will
resist our “request” but we have to persever.
Every month, we should phone/email and ask them to send us
(thru courier), latest printing of JAS, so that we can monitor/keep tract of
the FONT-SIZE being used.
This is also the
reason, why sentence highlighted in enclosed page, should be in larger fonts
& made bold.
By couriering them our TEMPLATE, we can insist that they religiously
follow the same. We should point out any deviation made to save space.
#2) Those, who after our repeated follow-up, says
“Sorry,
we are not interested”
Or
“Pay
us for printing of JAS” etc.
Transfer such cases to separate file (may be also place
appropriate remark against their names in the MASTER DATABASE OF PUBLICAITONS
under preparation by Pande/Vitthal.
By such separation/remark, we ensure not to irritate them
by repeated follow-up ! with 700 newspapers to
follow-up ! such follow-up can
happen since, it is not possible to remember /memorise, each & every
response/final answer.
Therefore recording negative response – even the reasons,
if he tells- is very important.
It will also reduce our follow-up effort.
#3) Those newspapers to whom we are about to fax our proposal
--------------
Based on Vitthal/Pande’s database, Reena has planned to
send out email – to – fax to some 500 newspapers – most likely on Monday (30th
Jan).
All of these will require phoning, 3/4 days after fax is
sent. Besides trying to find out whether
they have received our fax or not, you should also use this opportunity, to
systematically compile following info
during your phone call:
Ø
What are correct Phone No./ Fax No.
Ø
What is correct email ID
Ø
Who is the “Contact Person” & his/her designation?
Ø
What is the direct no/mobile no. of the contact person/his email
ID his personal fax no.
Ø
Correct Postal Address etc.
May be you can write down these
info into a photocopied FORM (with Name of Publication in bold at the top),
even as you are talking /asking questions.
Of Course, if you order some good
quality headphone (ask Reena) and have MASTER PUBLICATION DATABASE on your pc,
you may be able to enter such details/corrections directly into
the database, without having to write down !
But, for some reason, if you cannot
help “writing down” in a form, then after your phone-call, you can handover the
forms to Pande to EDIT the database immediately.
In the enclosed file, you found
that, I was making/entering my “remarks” (after each telephonic attempt to
contact) – on a piece of paper, mentioning date etc.
I was forced to follow this 50
years old method because I don’t know how to use a computer!
But I am sure, this cannot be
the case with you. I believe you are well-versed with the use of computers and you should avoid all these
laborious/manual entries on piece of papers.
You should use one of the simple
“Project Management software” ( - I am told MS office already has such a
software build-in) or, what they call
PIM = “Personal Information
Management “ software or a “Contact Management” software
Any no. of which, Reen/Rejita can
find for you.
With you dedication- and help from
Reena-Vitthal-Pande-Rajita-Rahul etc. – I have no doubt, you would convince 400
newspapers to start printing JAS by end of 2006 !
Good Luck

“Tariff/Prepaid Payment”
As per attached sample.
Dear Hr Manager:
Jobsites which claim to be No. 1
(-and there are more than ONE!), also claim that they have
·
4/5/6 million resumes
·
50,000 / 1000,000 job postings
But they won’t claim:
“Pay us, only if your job-advt
gets clicked/viewed by a jobseeker”
“Pay us only if you view a
SUITABLE resume during your resume search”.
No Way !
They ask you to pay up (upfront) a
huge lumpsum Subscription (kind of
entrance free) to Post Jobs/Search Resumes. Unrelated to your actual usage.
Arrogance of the “take it or leave
it” type.
It does not interest them to know
that, for most of the essential services (like,
water-electricity-gas-phone-travel-internet connection etc. etc.) your are only
paying for what you use !
They want you to overlook the fact
that on most websites, advertisers pay only when a visitor clicks on their
advts or that a surfer pays only for what he downloads.
In short, they are telling you,
“We are taking you for a ride-just
sit back and enjoy !”
We believe this exploitation must
end.
We
believe you should only pay for what you use – when you use.

Gratification
I think, sometime back, I made a
suggestion that, as soon as a jobseeker
submits his resume & fills up his “Job-preferences” & submits,
We deliver on his mobile 5 job-alert SMS within 60 seconds !
Since WWJ does not have a regular/typical
job search feature – like all other jobsites, my suggesting has a merit, in
that
Ø Registering
jobseeker gets assured that WWJ, actually does have a large database of fresh
job-advts
Ø He
is convinced that our “Match-making” software does actually work & give
relevant results
Ø Our
tie-up with Airtel/MTNL is for “REAL” ( as claimed by us) and that the “delivery”
does take place on his handset, as promised and that he can look forward a
regular daily defy from next day.
A message should flash on his PC
screen (as soon as he clicks “submit” as follows:
Dear Jobseeker
Ø
Thank you
for registering
Ø
In the next 60 seconds, you will receive, on
your mobile, 5 JAM alerts.
Ø
These are job downloaded from various jobsites 2
days back
Ø
Check these SMS alerts against your
job-preferences – then, if need be, edit your job-preferences (To edit, you
need to log in with your user ID/Password)
Ø
These first 5 JAM SMS is only a demo.
Your regular service, starting
tomorrow, can only be activated after you send SMS
JAM SUB on (short code of your
Mobile Service Provider
Alternatively, can we show him these 5 Demo alerts SMS on
his PC screen, immediately ?

Instant
Everything
This is an age of “instant
everything”. Noboday has patience of anything that takes time – unless your
immediate/clear purpose is to “pass time / kill time” (eg. A game of solitaire)
We must take advantage of this
desire/human weakness of impatience.
When a jobseeker searches for jobs
on jobsites, after entering his “Search-Criteria”, he clicks SUBMIT.
After that, does he shut-down PC/log
off, go home and then return after one hour to see the search-result display ?
He expects to see the display in
next 5/10 seconds.
And he also gets to see in 5/10
seconds !
Even if the result-display takes
30/40 seconds, he will never return to that website !
I have no doubt that you have kept
this (human impatience) in mind, when designing
Global
Recruiter
Now turn to World-Wide-Jobs.
Here we are telling the
candidates,
“Please fill-up job-preferences
(which is same as search-criteria0 – then wait for 24 hours ! you will start
getting job-alerts from TOMORROW ! “
This is a huge contrast from a
jobseeker’s past experience of searching job on jobsites.
This feels almost like a “let
down” !
Despite the pact that by now, that
jobseeker knows that
Ø WWJ
is NOT a jobsite
Ø There
is NO jobsearch on WWJ
Ø This
disappointment/frustration (of not being able to “see” the search-results
immediately), will turn into permanently getting rid of job searching on
jobsites.
Despite this knowledge, the
comparison (of course, Sub-conscious) with his past experience of many years of
searching for job on jobsites, makes him feel disappointed.
It is human nature.
Every new experience is
(Subconsciously) compared by the mind, with past experiences and sorted into 3
compartment, viz:
Ø GOOD
experience (compares well/favourably with PAST experience)
Ø BAD experience
(Worse that past comparable experience)
Ø EXCELLENT
experience (exceeds “expectations” which are framed by PAST experiences).
Now imagine a situation as
follows:
Ø A candidate fills in “Job-preference” form,
post his resume and clicks SUBMIT
Ø A
message flashes on hic PC Screen,
“Switch on your mobile (if not already on). A job-alert SMS
(JAM) matching your just-entered “Job-preferences” will appear on our mobile
within next 10/15 seconds ! and
thereafter everyday#. This is not a
SAMPLE ! It is REAL, and you can apply online instantly, by sending following
SMS from your mobile:
(MENU) JAM < Job
Code> on
Ø
By the time, that jobseeker finishes reading
this message on his PC Screen, the JAM appears on his mobile !
(with the new
arrangement with Airtel, the activation thru JAM SUB is already eliminated)
If we can incorporate the INSTANTNESS
in JAM,
Ø Jobseeker’s
experience will be EXCELLENT as
compared to his past experiences.
Ø He
gets INSTANT-PROOF of JAM.
Ø He
is convinced of the CONVENIENCE
Ø He
is AMAZED at the speed of
response
Ø He
will talk to 10 friends to try-out (WORD-OF-MOUTH
publicity)
I strongly recommend we aim for
this and as soon as possible.
“KNOWLEDGE-PROFILE”
In Global Recruiter, you have
provided that a candidate can EDIT the keywords (Add/Delete/Modify) in the
knowledge-profile box.
I think this is a great idea.
Why not extend this feature to WWJ
also ?
I think we should

Engine Optimization
To get a high rank (on organic
results side) on search results, on leading search engines, we have already
decided to create, a “Spider-accessible”
JOB
ADVTS ARCHIVES
Of millions of job-advts on IndiaRecruiter. + This huge
database will keep growing for ever.
BUT,
We
cannot do the same with
RESUME
ARCHIVES
(i.e.
our common Resume Database)
For searching these, a corporate
subscriber would need
User ID/Password/Log In.
Hence this “database” is in “Deep
Web” and in accessible to search engine spiders.
So, those millions of Keywords,
contained I our (3P’s) 6-8 lakh resumes, cannot be
SPIDERED
& INDEXED
by Google-Yahoo-msn etc.
But, as far as we are concerned,
these millions of keywords, are already INDEXED by ISYS.
And I suppose, each & every new resume coming
in daily as email, also gets indexed by ISYS.
May be this is why, our consultants always prefer to search
our resume database thru ISYS. Al least, a ISYS search ensure that,
If the search keyword is contained
in a given resume, it is bound to come up in search results !
The only problem with ISYS is that
there was no algorithm to give any particular “weightage” to a resume (what
logic ?) and therefore no way to “RANK” the search-results (resumes) by their
IMPORTANCE/RELEVANCE.
Whereas Search-engines have found
some clever methods to arrange the search-result (documents) in the descending order
of relevance.
(Page Rank algorithm
Search History etc.)
Now of Course
GOOGLE
DESTOP
Searches/indexes, not only all
documents on our hard disk but (I presume), also CLUBS/MERGES these results
-WITH RESULTS found on the web !
So,
Without making all of our RESUMES
“accessible” to spiders online, we can certainly make ALL of the KEYWORDS
(contained in these 6-8 lakhs resumes), accessible ! – On India Recruiter !!
Once we do this, IndiaRecruiter
will rank very high (on organic side), whether a keyword used by a surfer is
found
Ø in
our 5 lakh Job Archives or
Ø in
our 8 lakh Resume Archives.
So, our purpose is served WITHOUT
making our Resume Database Public/accessible to Searach engines.
Without even, having to upload
these 6/8 lakh resumes on India Recruiter !

Please download then try on any sample “resume” and see
whether it is capable of generating a “NEW” version of same resume.
It is does, then we have hit a jackpot ! If it does, we will
immediately pay-up $ 29.95 to upgrade to PREMIUM edition.
This can be a fantastic tool (if it works), in helping
candidates WRITE (really REWRTE) their existing resumes !

“Jobs In Print” Service
-------------
Deccan Herald ---------------------- 117
(26 Oct to 25 Nov ) (email ID available)
Indian Express
----------------------- No display
It is quite
possible that thousands of job getting published in print-media (Newspapers), never get uploaded on jobsite. (
except Times of India ð timesjobs.)
And very few
copies of leading METRO newspapers manage to reach medium/small towns. And
those copies that do find their way to small towns, reach homes of people who
are NOT looking for jobs !
This means,
these jobs remain “inaccessible” to small town jobseekers !
This is what
make such (print media) jobs, a “ SCARCE CONTENT”
(“killer
Content”” by Mai Lan Tomsen).
According to
author Mai Lan, it is such “Scarce Content” that differentiate successful from
unsuccessful websites.
If your website
offer a CONTENT that no other website offers, people will visit your site by
thousands.
Apparently
Naukri has realized this. But they seem to have tied up (so far) only with
●
Deccan Herald
● Indian
Express
Could it
be that other major newspapers,
publish/upload their print media job-advts on their OWN sites ? I don’t know. But it can take one day to find
out May be I will do it.
But, keep
in mind that someday soon, we should create on IndiaRecruier a page/form,
called
“Job Post
for Newspapers”
Where they
can enter/upload jobs printed in their hard
copies. This feature/offer may even attract them to subscribe/register for JAS.

Leveraging
timesjobs.com
to
our advantage
-------------
We cannot forget that one of our
biggest problem has been,
“which company belongs to which
Industry? “
Unless this issue gets resolved,
job searching by “Industry” drop
list (on IndiaRecruiter) was impossible
A solution seems to be in sight !
This morning while job searching
on timesjobs.com, I found short-display (job summary) in following manner:
Job summary |
Company
Details |
Location |
|
|
|
Exactly
what we need ! And since this info. Is based on what that company itself has
entered (about itself), while “Posting Jobs”, this data is perfect /absolutely
reliable.
All we need to do is to fin a
spider which can download this info as
Srl No |
Company Name |
Industry
(timesjobs) |
Industry
(Global Recruiter) |
|
|
|
|
We can do one more thing while
downloading:
Srl No |
Company Name (in times
jobs) |
Company Name
(WWJ 49300 advt downloading |
Email ID for
49300 |
|
|
|
In which case email ID ( in our
daily downloads) has to be the SAME for both records !
This will solve our problem that
times jobs are NOT displaying email ID of job-advertisers and therefore,
downloading of job advts from timesjobs is no use !

Our Biggest Problem
To quickly populate
India Recruiter / GR with 5 lakh resumes, our biggest problem is:
“What
INDUSTRY / FUNCTION” to allot to each resume that we download from Monster/
Naukri/ Times jobs etc.?”
Unless
resumes are allotted INDUSTRY & FUNCTION, they would remain unsearchable in
IndiaRecruiter!
And if
these remain “unsearchable”, our partners will refuse to become our partners!
The only
way they can lure company-HR Managers (to subscribe) is to be able to tell
them,
“Dear HR Manager
If you
subscribe to my website, you can search 5 lakh resumes.
Hence,
solution to our problem lies in our ability to
Ø download millions of resumes from dozens of jobsites
Ø allot INDUSTRY / FUNCTION to each
& every resume (offline, if reqd.)
Ø then upload these on GR / IR
Ø send out “Invitation-Letter” to 750
(websites) placement agencies.
Ø simultaneously send-out promo-letter
to 49300employers / HR mgrs. To come, register on India Recruiter & start
