This tool was demonstrated to Aparna / Mitchelle team on last Monday.
Tomorrow, it will be demonstrated to
Thakur / Amit team.
As explained, this tool enables you to search the most relevant /
suitable resumes, out of the 5.5 Lakhs resume in our local server.
What the tool does, is to shortlist / present to you the TOP 1000
resumes (the most relevant ones) out of the 5.5 L
The Match-Index is calculated based on the on a comparison between
Ø No. of keywords contained in any
given resume
Ø a Master set of keywords prepared in
advance.
So far, we have compiled such Master Set (of keywords) for
Ø Some 50 odd “Non-It Function Areas”
Ø Some 89 “ “IT
skills areas”
Ø Some 150 “ Designations
as displayed on Monster India website).
However, we have subjected or 5.5 L resumes to only a few of the above
mentioned Master sets, viz:
Ø For “Non-IT functions”
Ø For “IT Skills”
Ø For Monster designations
Total
You can see these listed in the GuruArchieve Tool (with a “Y” mentioned
against these).
Every night, the 5 computes in RecruitGuru office, process 5.5 L resumes
for (may be) 4 or 5 Master sets of keywords, to find / shortlist the TOP
1000 resumes (relevant to those
Masters).
Next day, these 4 or 5 get added in the GuruArchieve tools.
At this rate, it will take a few weeks to process all the master sets of
Keywords (which are already prepared).
I attach 3 lists as follows:
List A)
ð Where Master sets of keywords have
been matched (with 5.5 L resumes) TOP 1000 resumes already found and uploaded
in GuruArchieve Tool.
This list
keeps growing at the rate of 4/5 per day.
List B)
ð Where Master Sets of Keywords have
been prepared but processing (of 5.5 L resumes) is still to be undertaken.
Out of
this list, we are selecting 4 / 5 per
day for processing
If there
are any here, which you want processed on a top priority basis, please inform
Rahul.
List C)
ð These are Monsterindia website
“designations” for which Master Set of
keywords are yet to prepared.
These
Master Sets will need to be prepared by you, depending upon your needs /
priorities / current search -assignments.
You can
prepare such Master Set using the tool,
Guru
Select
Which is
already made available to you. If there are any doubts amount how to use
GuruSelect, please feel free to contact Rahul.
Incidentally,
such creation of Master Sets (of keywords), need not be confined to
designations found on Monserindia.
It could
be any designation / any function / any skill, for which, your corporate client
wants you to send suitable resumes.
All you
have to do, is to prepare a Master list (of keywords) for such odd / new /
fresh designation / function/ skill and email it to Rahul, with a request to
process overnight.

Resume Rater V 3.0
Ø We discussed this yesterday.
Ø It has the potential to become a
Killer Application
Ø We can develop it using Google
Desktop API – in which case Google will host it on their own website ! This can
popularise RR V 3 in a very big way, around the world.
Ø I am in two minds – whether to
develop RR V 3.0 as,
·
Totally
separate version, based on Google Desktop.
OR
·
Integrate
Google Desktop – as an additional feature – into V 2.0, leaving intact all the
existing feature of V 2.0
I think
you will be the best person to judge this issue from technology application
viewpoint.
Ø From recruiter / users perspective,
it would be better if he as to install only ONE version, whether, he wants to
search & rate resumes lying in
ð a specific folder
or
ð on entire harddisk
eg: two
clickable buttons of our main page U/I off RR
After you have downloaded Google Desktop, it will take, from a few
minutes to a few hours, to index, the
contend of your harddisk. Of course, this is a one time / first time efforts.
Search-results should be displayed as per our existing display-grid, in
the descending order of raw-scores.
One more thought.
Today, we are dependent upon user resetting the counter, in order for
our website counter to change.
How can we eliminate this “dependency” ?
Cn our counter change, as soon as user clicks on some button ? eg:
But then, he may not be online at that time ?
Nor can we reduce the “reset – limit” from 1000 to (say) 100 !
Chances are, there may be 10,000
resumes on his harddisk – all of which, he want searched / rated – simply
because he is too lazy to select any particular folder.
In fact, the very idea (behind integrating Google Desktop in V 3.0) came
from the fact that a typicla recruiter can only remember the folder that he as
created during last 10/15/ days – at most.
Whereas,
The best resumes may be lying hidden in folders that he created 2 months
/ 4 months / 8 months ago !
Who, the hell has time / patience
tosearch thru 69 folders crated during last 12 months, to find select,
those one / two, which are likely to yield best resumes ?
This is simply too much to ask !
This enormous “process – friction”, which limits the benefits of RR V 2.0. this is why we need Google Desktop.
Which means, even the current “reset” limit of 1000 may not work ! will
not work !
We will need to raise it to 50,000 ! we just don’t know, how many
resumes are lying on the hardisk of a WIPRO / Infosys / IBM / Accenture
recruiter !
Of course, I don’t expect “rating process time” to increase appreciably
because, like ISYS, Google Desktop has already indexed all documents – and
against each document, created a database of several hundred ”words”.
Altogether several million – or a billion – words”
So finding takes a few seconds at most (see how fast ISYS does it).
May be we can employ “reset counter” only when
a user uses specific folder to rate
and
use some automatic (counter update) process when he uses
options.
Another things.
In RR V 3.0, can we “harvest” entire resume, instead of merely
harvesting email ID ?
Of course, we don’t want to harvest
all 50,000 resumes on harddisk, again & again 10 times in a day, if a user
10 times a day, for (in sequence),
-
Java
-
ASP
-
VB
-
Ajax
-
Windows
etc. etc.
But, conceivably, during (or at the end of each
rating process, we could harvest only
those resumes, which cored > 60. This will eliminate most of “duplication”. Obviously, during each rating, the no.s of resumes scoring >
60, will vary, form a few to a few dozen – which is Ok.
We will
create, on our webserver
-
86 IT skill folders
-
43 non-IT
skill folders
and,
deposit /
store the harvested resumes into respective folders.
This way, we
will create a huge database of “Scored”
resumes (in descending order, too) for all functions and all skills.

Concept Note: Resume
Sorter
Ø Resume Sorter should eliminate any /
all human intervention and automate all process which are currently manually
performed.
Ø “Resume Sorter” may be developed in
two stages
Stage 1
In this stage, Resume Rater will take-over / automate the manual work
performed by the consultants, which broadly consists of:
Ø Open G: Folder and “read” all
the resumes that have arrived during last 24 hours.
Ø Broadly sort these (mentally) into
different “FUNCTION / SKILL” categories
Ø Mentally “match / compare”
the function / skill of each resume with the “function / skill” desired in
different current search-assignments being handled.
Ø If an “approximate” match is found,
the move the “matching” resume to the
relevant “Assignment Folder”
Ø When complete G: folder has been
gone thru / searched thru – and the preliminary “suitable / matching” resumes
have been transferred to the respective “Assignment Folders”, then, once again
“open/Read/rate/rank” all the resumes lying in each folder.
The resumes are mentally evaluated as
A = Excellent
B = Good
C = Average,
in terms of their “MATCH” with the search-criteria provided by the
client (keywords contained in “Job Description” provided by client ?)
Ø Tag the resumes A/B/C, arrange in
descending order of “Rating”.
Ø Star calling-up each candidate,
one-by-one, to
§ explain client’s
position/organization/salary etc.
§ ascertain candidate’s interest
Then make “Suitable Notes” against each
candidate
Ø In some cases,
meet/interview/evaluate the candidate (over the phone or across the table)
& fill-up “Assessment Form”
Ø Forward (email) some of the resumes
to client for consideration. This email maybe accompanies by “Assessment Form”
Stage 2
Here, Resume
Sorter (V. 2.0) software, will eliminate the human being and automate the
(current) manual process of
Ø Reading each in coming email
Ø Sorting GOOD (i.e. resumes &
other business correspondences) from BAD (spam)
Ø Delete SPAM
Ø Further
segregate “GOOD” emails into
Resumes Business
Correspondence
Transfer to G: Forward
to concerned person
Senior
Sent to Team Leader
Q.: so, what should Resume Sorter (V 1.0) be
able to achieve ?
Ans:
1) It will pick-up each resume stored
in G: (in sequence of arrival)
2) Map/Compare the keywords contained
in that resume with the MASTR KEYWORD list of all
-
86 IT skill
-
43
Non-It Skill
Based on the “Weightages” of keywords, s/w will
compute RAW SCORES of that resume for each IT skill / Non-It function, as
Resume: Mr. ABC |
||
Sr. No. |
Skill / Function Name |
Raw Score |
1 2 3 . . 86 |
|
63 85 48 93 |
1 2 3 . . 43 |
|
60 59 42 37 |
When finish, table will
be re-arrange in (Descending Order’ of Raw Score.
The “Function/Skill” that gets listed on TOP (with highest RAW SCORE) is considered to be THE function/skill to
which that candidate belongs to.
This “Function/Skill” and its “Raw Score” will be stored against that candidate’s
Name/E-mail ID.
The rest of the table (data) may be discarded (?)
On second thought, I think we should select/store “FUNCION/SKILL” Name
& Raw Scores forall those “ratings” where the Raw Score 60, eg.:
Resume: Mr. ABC |
||
|
Function/Skill |
Raw Score |
|
Sales Marketing Service Design |
92 ü 75 ü 69 ü 60 ü |
|
Production R&D |
56 X 42 X |
This means, same resume will get stored in 4 different folder (it could
be even more folder-depending upon Raw Scores) – along with relevant score.
A person is a many-splendoured being !
Not Simply Black or White !
Consultant A many find him in – “SALES’ folder(with 92 score) for XYZ
Corp.
and
Consultant B may find him in “MARKETING” folder (with 75 score) for XYZ
Corp.
So, not only, a given candidate
has a chance (probability) of being considered for multiple job-openings
(search assignments)
but,
Consultants are in a position to offer to their corporate clients, more “OPTIONS” !
And, no matter, in how many “Function/Skill” folders, the same resume
gets stored, in that (each) folder, it is always arranged in the descending
order of raw-score. So each folder, will buid-up a sizable database fast.
3)
All
of this, picking-rating-ranking-transferring to different folders will go on
automatically offline, continuously (if the Resume Sorter s/w is kept ON, for
24 hours).
4)
All
consultants must be able to “access” all folders at anytime (Common Property”
principle).
5)
In
each folder, resumes will get added to a display table – arranged in descending
order of Score.
6)
Clicking
on any given name/email ID in the able will open that resume for viewing,
with keywords highlighted in red.
7)
Each
entr4y/record (i.e. resume) in each folder, will carry “Date Stamp”.
8)
In
any folder tabulation, if there are
several resumes having SAME raw score, (which is quite likely as the
database grows), then these will be arranged as per “Arrival Date”
9)
Each
folder will have GREEN & BLUE bands (Excellent & Good).
10)
Clicking
on highlighted keywords, will open
-
Interview Questions
-
Consult
Wikipedia
11) From any “Function/Skill” folder, it
should be possible to select a few candidates and “copy” these records in any
“SEARCH-ASSIGNMENT” folder
|

12) Once we have collected our FEES for
appointing any given candidate (with any given client), then it would be
unethical to keep on “recommending/referring” the same candidate to some other
client !
Hence, Resume Sorter (Recruitment Agency Version), - as opposed to “Corporate
Version”, must have a provision, whereby, as soon as a candidate gets
appointment with any given client, appropriate “record/note” can be made
against his/her name in the “FUNCTION/SKILL” Folder itself (as well as in the
“SEARACH ASSIGNMENT” folder) re: this fact (Position & Name of Client /
Date of Appointment).
Hopefully, such “record/note” will ensure that
even by mistake, no other consultant may recommend the same person to another
client.
13) Should we provide “Assessment Form”
)even simplified) in Resume Sorter ? Of course, consultants (recruitment
agencies) will love this.
14) Of course, we must “harvest” the
email IDs of the resumes being “sorted” by the Resume Sorter. We should do this
every day, by forcing “Resume Sorter” to get activated (for
next session), by going online &
getting connected to our server, which
will automatically reset the counter to ZERO !
But what if a user never “de-activates” it? One infinite/ continuous
session, for ever ON ?
15) Emailing same feature as in Resume
Rate. After shortlisting, recruiters would want to write to selected candidates
16) Earlier, I wrote about harvesting
email IDs (of resumes rated & sorted) thru Resume Sorter. On second
thought, I think we should not limit ourselves to harvesting ONLY email IDs.
We must harvest entire resume !
Along with highlighted key words & Raw Scores !
Earlier, I talked of creating
-
Function
Folder (86 Non-It
functions)
-
Skills “ (43
It skills)
These 129 folders are to be created on the
local harddisk of the user.
In these folders, resumes will get “deposited”
(“sorting” effect) after getting “rated” – wherever raw score is 60.
We will create on our server, a similar setoff
129 folders.
At some pre-determined interval, the local
9user’s) folders will get “copied” into our server folder (respective
folder). This would have to be “incremental” back-ups.
Of course, at that
predetermined “time” the user’s application would have to be ONLINE. Or this could be made to happen at some
predetermined “EVENT”, such as mandatory daily “re-activation” of the
Resume Sorter software.
In Resume Rater, such events were, reaching the
Reset Counter Number of 10, 000 / 1000.
Ideally I would have like Resume Sorter’s
harvesting to happen continuously, as each resume got rated & transferred
to respective folder on the user’s local harddisk. 24 hours continuously.
Advantages:
Ø Load on our server will get evenly
distributed all thru 24 hours
Ø Our counter will change continuously
- a very dynamic/powerful endorsement of
the popularity of Resume sorter ! Nothing can ever market Resume Sorter
better than a continuously changing counter.
Disadvantages:
Ø Instead of being OFFLINE, resume
sorter will need to be ONLINE
If the application has to be running all 24
hours 9 around the clock), then that particular user-machine would need to
remain ONLINE, all the time
I don’t see this as an issue with most of the
user companies. Companies who receive
20/30 email resumes daily, are unlikely to use Resume Sorter. User of
Resume Sorter will be companies receiving 200/300 resumes daily. Mostly
recruitment agencies and large Employer corporations who advertise on job
portals. Altogether, these could be 10,000/20,000 in India
Such companies would have no problem keeping on
PC connected to internet, all 24 hours.
May be they already have one such ONLINE m/c in
order to receive emails.
It is also quite likely that such companies
have several “recruiters” in their organization, all of whom are
receiving email resumes.
And, may be, all incoming emails are received
in one/common mailbox. And may be all these m/c are on LAN/intranet.
Should Resume sorter be Lan-based?
If we say that all 129 function/skill folders
have to be “COMMON PROPERTY”, accessible by all recruiter/consultants within a
company, then it has to be LAN-based.
No company would like employees to treat
data/information as PRIVATE property (Of Course, there can be “Access Rights”
to safeguard unauthorized access by those employees who have no legitimate
“business-need” to access)
So, if we incorporate into Resume Sorter
“Access
Rights”
(allotted by ADMIN),
Then such corporates would feel very
comfortable with the use of a LAN-based application.
“Access Right” to open/view 129 folders.
ONLINE
Our Web
Server
129
identical (Server-based) folders
Nearly all recruitment agencies and large
corporations, their
consultants/recruiters to
Ø Post job-advts
Ø Search resumes
from leading job-portals.
So, all of them have to be online, nearly all
throughout the day.

Dear HR Manager / Recruiting Agent: WHY
?
Why should you use Resume Sorter ?
You should use Resume Sorter, if
Ø Dozens of text resumes are flooding your mailbox daily, emailed to you
by candidates against your several job-advts (or unsolicited).
Ø You are under tremendous pressure to
fill-up vacancies (of course, with most competent candidates available)
Ø You just don’t have enough time to
read thru all the resumes, segregate these function/skill-wise, give “Scores”
to each and then arrange into descending order of the scores.
(Read Better / Faster)
Ø Nor do you have enough/competent
subordinates to do this for you (-which, in any case, is not “Human use of
Human Beings” – do read this book by Norbert Weiner)
Ø You ant to spend most of your time
interviewing/assessing the best candidates (-which no software can ever do).
And while interviewing you want to be reminded of what Interview Questions to
ask (Resume Sorter displays 15000+ keyword-specific interview questions)
Ø You want to consult Wikipedia for
the right answer against each of our interview question (- even as the
candidates is replying !)
Once you start using, you will discover many more reasons
-Rahul
Dear HR Manager / Recruiting Agent: Pre-Requisites
For Resume Sorter to work satisfactorily, there are following
Pre-requisites:
Ø Your hardware configuration has to
be

(Resume Sorter only works ONLINE in order to retrieve latest
Functions/Skills/Keywords/ Weightages etc. form our webservice. We welcome you
to add new functios/skill/keywords as also modify their weightages, by
contributing your knowledge/expertise at Poll-e-Ticks/ thru this mechanism of
social consensus, we are handing over the process control to YOU !)
Dear HR Manager / Recruiting Agent: HOW
?
How does Resume Sorter works ?
Resume Sorter cannot separate
genuine resumes form other business correspondence and spam, filling-up you
mailbox. You will need to do this manually (-in Version 2.0, we plan to
automate this), and transfer genuine resumes to one/common G: folder-common for
your entire dept/section/unit, where all desktops are on same LAN.
Now enter G: Folder path (name) in
Resume Sorter and click
That’s about all !
On its own, Resume sorter, will
create
-
86 IT skill folders
-
43 Non-IT Function Folders
And start transferring “rated &
ranked” resumes to relevant folders which you can open/view anytime (-if your
ADMIN has given you “Access Rights”). No more torture of reading your mailbox !
-Rahul
PS
You cannot avoid spam filling-up your mailbox. But what you
download during a Resume Search (on any job portal) are genuine text resume-and
only resumes. Tell all your recruiters to store these in a common folder. Then
ask Resume Sorter to sort this folder !
What / How / Why
Downlaod / 22/12/07 |
Dear HR
Manager / Recruiting Agent:
What is
Resume Sorter ?
Resume
Sorter is a freely downloadable software application.
Resume
Rater
Ø “Reads” all text resumes stored by
you on G: Folder
(You would
need to transfer these from your mailbox into: G:Folder)
Ø “Rates” these resumes based on the
keywords contained in each and assigns each resume a Raw score depending upon
the Weightages” of each keyword (-there are over 15000 keywords at the moment).
Ø Based on the Raw scores, determines
the FUNCTION (Non-It) or the SKILL (in case of IT) to which the resume belongs
Ø Then transfer that resume to one (or
more0 of
-
86 IT skill folders
-
43 Non-IT Function Folders
Ø In a nutshell, Resume Sorter, sorts
the resumes (continuous / on-going basis) and places these in different
folders, so that you don’t need to read thru all incoming resumes, leaving you
free to spend your time interviewing candidates 9-what no software can do).

Virtual
Interview VIP
Portal -
M
For TCS to hire
30,000 professionals
( I suppose, mostly s/w developers)
Within 12 months, would mean,
Ø Interviewing 3000, 000 (1:10
ratio)
(i.e. 1000/day x 300 days)
Ø Getting 3,000,000 email resumes (1:100)
Ø 100 interview experts
(each interviewing 10 candidates / day)
Ø Huge physical infrastructure
(cabins/ tons of resume print-out/interview experts/receptionists/transport/canteen
etc. etc.).
This is mind-boggling. HR managers must
begetting nervous-breakdowns !
And, it would be the same story with
- Infosys -
Satyam
- Wipro -
HCL
- IBM -
Google India (?)
- Accenture -
Oracle India (?) etc. etc.
Also, consider
Ø Campus Interviews requiring several
teams of interviewers from each recruiting company, to be travelling to 40
leading campuses within a “window” of 4/6 weeks. So, everyday, on every campus,
there could be 10 teams(form 10 different companies).
Many (final year) student would appear for interview with 4/6/10
companies, during those 4/6 weeks !
A literal “merry-go-round” ! – Keeping “placement officers” very busy
and happy
Ø On Site Interview
These would require thousands ( may be lakhs) of candidates travelling
(from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari) to Mumbai/Pune/Bangalore/Hyderabad etc. spending
crores of rupees in tickets & millions of man hours -total waste !
Of course during the heydays of
H1B rush, American interviewers, used to conduct “telephonic interviews” of
Indian s/w professionals. They still do. But the disadvantages are:
Ø Slang
Indian candidates fail to follow the US “Slang” & end up giving no
answers/wrong answers !
Ø Time
When Americans want to interview, it is sleeping time for us.
Ø Proxy
A “dumb” candidate (who has
cleverly faked his email resume in the first place). Gets substituted with a
hire “expert” during telephonic interview.
Ø Verification
Certificates (birth/Edu/salary etc. cannot be verified over telephone.
Ø Record
Interview is generally not “taped? Recorded” for subsequent reference
(while preparing offer letter or during subsequent tenure with the employer
company).
When a recruiter is conducting
10/15 telephonic interviews everyday, it is not possible for him to remember -even-the
major details/impressions about each candidate. Assessment becomes very
difficult – unless entered on a piece of paper or in a computer, immediately as
soon as the interview get over. You cannot rely on memory at the end of the day,
if you are interviewing 10 candidates in 6 hours !
In absence of record/transcript, there is a possibility of
ð Genuine error
ð Malpractice
If the same candidate “re-appears” for a
telephonic interview after 3 months, the recruiter may not even remember having
interviewed – and rejected – him earlier ! How can anybody remember, each &
every of the last 1000 candidates interviewed ?”
There is a strong possibility that a candidate
“rejected” by one recruiter gets ‘accepted” by another recruiter from the same
company and for the same position !
All that a 9clever !) candidate has to is to keep emailing his resume again and gain
to the same company (even against different job-advts0, over a period of time.
Ultimately the “law of probability” will work in his favour ! IF he is lucky, the manager who interviewed him last time – and rejected
him – has, himself resigned and left! There are thousands of instances like
this (in big companies), where “Left hand does not know, what the right hand is
doing” !
For all the problems/shortcomings listed
earlier, on solution (though not perfect), could be creating, on Global
Recruiter – and on all of its partner websites, a
Virtual
Interview Portal (VIP) - M
Brief Concept Outline
Ø Candidates and corporates would need
to register on GR and become members, to be able to use VIP.
Ø On VIP platform, corporates would create
Interview Schedule
for 10/15/30 days in advance
Ø “Schedule” will clearly indicate
a) ð “Interviews-by-Invitation only”
Jobs
b) ð “Interview-by-Virtual walk-In” Jobs
Ø For a) types of jobs/interviews, job-seekers
would need to “Apply Online”
Corporate HR Manager, will select those worth
interviewing (virtually) and click a link “Interview Call”, somewhere on the profiles. Then a op-up message can be
sent:
Dear
Thank you for sending your “profiles” for the
position of
Kindly appear for a VIRTUAL interview by
logging into India recruiter’s
Virtual Interview Portal (VIP) page
Date:
Time Estimate
Interview Duration
Venue: VIP /
After log-in, click on our Company Name link
and enter “Venue Details’ shown above. When you do, one of our Interviewer will
conduct your ONLINE/VIRTUAL interview, using India Recruiter’s, online
INSTANT
MESSAGING (IM) software.
During interview, you may be asked to upload
files containing documents/images of your
● Birth
Certificate ● Photo (Passport Size)
● Education “ ●
● Salary “ (if applicable) etc.
etc.
If, by any chance, the candidate logs in late (say 10+ minutes), then
some appropriate message will direct him to contact the Interviewer /
Administrator over mobile phone, to take fresh appointments
Ø b) “Interview-by-Virtual Walk-In”
This type of
interview are primarily for fresh graduates and for positions like
Trainee/Apprentices etc. these would be
·
s/w developers
·
BPO staff
·
Sales “
·
Retail “ etc.
etc.
Mostly positions which do NOT
require any prior experience.
These are VIRTUAL mirroring of physical “Walk-In” interviews, for which
we see a lot of advt in news papers and even on jobsites, which, simply asks
candidate to WALK-IN with their resumes, mentioning
Date/Time/Venue
In these cases, a company’s job-advt on India Recruiter would read:
Virtual Interview Portal (VIP
Display Console for Interviewer
Candidate Name: PEN: Job code: Interview
Date Interview Name: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Functional Specs for VIP Software
Ø All interviewing will be using IM
software (Google ?) which is compatible
with all IMs (eg: AOL / MSN /
ICQ etc.)
Ø Only registered Corporate
Subscribers can conduct VIRTUAL interviews. Obviously all jobseekers wanting to
use VIP, will also need to be registered on IR/GR
Ø Only concerned corporate HR Manager
will have “access” to “Record/Transcript” of any particular candidate
interview. No. other corporate can access this.
Ø “Record/Transcripts” will be preserved
for 2 years (from date of interview) in some easily accessible fashion.
Ø By entering any candidate’s PEN into
corporate’s ADMIN TOOL, it should be possible for concerned HR Manager to
See/VIEW, all previous interviews of this candidate with his company during
last 2 years – including all past “Assessment Sheets”
Ø Each Corporate subscriber should be
able to design and use, his own UNIQUE Assessment sheet (right hard bottom corner).
Of course, he should be able to modify/alter this sheet at anytime (ADMIN TOOL
MASTER)
Ø Each Corporate Subscriber should be
able to create/build-up (over a period of time), his own/unique
QUESTION BANK
(bottom left hand corner)
Ø He should be able to “Categorise”
this “Question Bank Database” under any “category/function/topic?subject/skills/knowledge/industry/attitude/attribute”
etc.
Ø Of course, we will “aggregate’ such
questions of hundreds of Corporate Subscribers (data mining) and build-up our
own “Knowledge Base”
Ø We will need some ADMIN TOOL of our own, so that we can determine exact usage
of
VIP
By each and every Corporate subscriber and
“charge” him predetermined fees (Rs 100/- per candidate interviewed ?)
Ø Corpo. Himself should be able to see
his “VIP charge debit” from his own ADMIN TOOL.
Ø VIP page itself should be capable of
handling 1000 Simultaneously interview – to begin with s/w should be so
designed that, we are able to ramp-up to handle 10,000 simultaneous interview
sessions by addition of Server/hardware
Ø We should not design/develop IM itself-only
it’s application.
Ø This VIP, should be capable of morphing into a VIDEO interview in future – with a
small window in Interviewer’s Display console.

Guru Map
Consider enclosed u/I for “GuruMap” tool. This
is only a “Concept”. If you succeed in developing such a tool, the actual u/I
may look very different
Why we need GuruMap?
Ø Guru Grab should be able to download
resumes from all 4 websites 9for which we have user ID/Password) simultaneously
(at one go). Consultants need not enter ‘Resume Search Parameters” again &
again
Ø Guru Ad should be able to upload
job-advt on all 4 websites at one go.
Ø Once all consultants (put together)
have created master-Liszt of keywords for all 551 actual designations/roles (in
Guru Select), then, there should be no need to go thru the same exercise for
20000 (so-called (UNIQUE”) actual designations found from 4 lakh job-advts of
Naukri, downloaded during last 2 years
These 4 lakh job-advts, already contain a
structured database of following fields:
Ø Job code
Ø Position (Actual Designation)
Ø Company Name
Ø City/location (of posting
Ø Educational Qualification
Ø Minimum Experience
Ø Maximum Age
Ø Source (Website Name)
If such a tool is developed, I can spend ¾ days
and “map” all those 20,000 positions (actual designations) against Monster’s
551 actual designations.
If actual designations appearing in job-advt of
times jobs/job ahead were also available, then the “mapping” process can be
carried out simultaneously. If not, it can be done in stages.
11-03-06
If successful, we don’t have to spend enormous
time finding KEYWORDS in 20,000
job-advts (even if we highlight in only ONE job-advt for each designation).
Which means in course of time, when Guru Grab
starts downloading resumes from Naukri, even these resumes, can have a
MATCH-INDEX (based on equivalent Monster designation).
Creating such “Parity/Equivalence” across 4 major jobsites. For all “Fields’
would have major benefits.
If successful, at a future date, even
jobseekers may be able to
Ø Post resume on one site (India
Recruiter) and have it posted on all 4 sites
Ø Search Jobs on one site and get
“Search-results” form all 4 sites
Please Consider.

Offline IIT
tool (AHA)
Ø After Resume Rater and Resume Searcher, this will be our 3rd offline free
tool for downloading (priority wise ) except that
AHA will require registration
Ø Enclosed find FAQs for AHA. I thought this method will clarify
our concepts/architecture/model/functional specs
Ø Let us discuss when you-your team
have given this some thought.
Q. What
is AHA?
Ans: Aha
stands for “Ask Her Another” (or Him) It is an offline LAN-based software tool
that you can download form here-for FREE too- if you are a registered corporate
subscriber of this site.
Q. Who would need AHA? Who would benefit by
using AHA?
Ans: Anyone
who is required to interview candidates
would benefits by AHA.
Most
likely to benefit are
·
HR
Executive
·
Recruitment
Managers
·
Headhunters
·
Recruitment/Placement
Agencies
·
RPO
(Recruitment Process Outsourcing) Companies
·
Professors
(teaching HR/MBA)
Q. How will AHA help Recruiters? Interviewers?
Ans: quite
often, while conducting an interview, the interviewer is at a loss as to what
questions to ask the candidate. At that moment, the right/appropriate/relevant
question does not come to his mind (-which, often does, once that candidate has
left!)
This
where AHA helps.
It
carries a database of over 15000 interview questions
An
interviewer has to simply click on any
keyword, in the resume of the candidate and the right questions pop-up ! As
simple as that.
Andi
if the interviewer has any doubt about the correctness of candidate’s answer,
he can even click Wikipedia/onelook for consultation !
For
more “How”, click why of IIT
AHA looks surprisingly similar to;
IIT- Occasional user
Q. What is difference, if any ?
Ans: You
are right – you can call AHA a LITE
version of IIT- Occasional user, except that
Ø AHA is an offline/LAN based version
(still requires .NET framework on your PC)
Ø “Candidate Assessment” feature is
missing in AHA (but you can use it online, after completing the interview and
moving to IIT-Occasional user)
Where AHA scores over IIT-Occasional User is
Ø AHA enables you to create &
store (offline), your own unique/private databank of
·
Interview
questions
·
Related
Answers
Of course, any person who is authorized by you
to use AHA (and connected to your AN), can
·
Contribute
to the creation of these private databanks
·
Access
these questions/answers thru AHA
When you already have online,
IIT- Occasional user
Q. Where was the need for AHA ?
And: When you click on a keyword in the candidate’s
resume, you expect the relevant questions to pop-up immediately. Quite offer,
this does not happen due to notoriously slow speed of internet connecting –
causing embarrassing situation.
Offline/desktop AHA overcomes this problem,
where the response is instantaneously.
Then there is the issue
of network security/firewalls/proxy server/access rights etc. in large
organisations. Offline AHA overcomes these problems. Everyone can use it freely
without an internet connection. Apart from these, AHA also enables a
user-organisaton to create its own/private databank of interview
questions/answers.
Q. What, if any, are pre-requisites for being
able to download and use AHA?
Ans: First-and foremost – you need to be a
registered Corporate Subscriber of India Recruiter – to be able t download (it
is FREE).
Next, you also need to have installed on your
LAN , Microsoft’s .NET framework, without which, AHA cannot work. But you can
download this (for free) from
Q. What problem does AHA solve ?
Ans:
Ø AHA helps you ask the right
interview questions to any candidate.
Ø AHA enables you to consult
Wikipedia/onelook, for checking the correctness of the answer (of course, for
this, you would need to be connected to the internet)
Ø AHA brings in “parity” while
interviewing (say) 10 candidates for the same position/vacancy, by enabling you
to ask the same set of questions to all of them.
Ø AHA helps you judge the candidate’s
“depth of knowledge” and in a Consistent/Systematic manner.
Q. What are the limitations of AHA?
Ans:
Ø AHA does not incorporate “Candidate
Assessment” page (although, after interviewing candidate, you can log into India
Recruiter IIT/Occasional user, where,
after entering concerned candidate’s PEN, you can fill-in “candidate
Assessment”)
Ø You need to first download the database of the
concerned candidate (who you wish to interview) by connecting to India
Recruiter PEN-DATABASE, by entering his PEN. ( For the time-being this is free)
Ø Being an offline tool AHA generates
profiles form your offline database, which could be somewhat old/obsolete, if
downloaded long time back.
Q. Is there any “Expiry Date” for the downloaded AHA software?
Ans: No,
there is no expiry date. You will be able to use it indefinitely. If and
when we come out with the next version of AHA, we ill inform you by email with
instructions on how to download the latest
version.
Q. If a candidate emails to me his complete
Profile (including graphs/KarmaScope/text resume etc.) will that enable me to
use AHA for interviewing him?
Ans: Sorry
! That won’t help.
An
emailed Profile is like an Image file. It is not a structured database.
It
is not a structured database.
AHA can
work only on a structured database-which of course, you can download from this
website at PEN-Database page.
Just go to this page, login, enter PEN of candidate (who you wish to
interview and click Download. As smile as that.
You can download a candidate’s PEN database again, if you think one you
downloaded sometime back could be obsolete.
If a candidate has emailed his
Profiles, you can even compare the same with the Profiles that get generated
thru AHA, which is based on downloaded database.
Q. How can I interview a
candidate who has not registered (submitted resume) on IndiaRecruiter.net
Ans: As you have always done, so far ! But if you want to use AHA for
the purpose of interviewing then it is possible only when that candidate
·
Submit
resume on IndiaRecruiter
·
Obtains
his Profiles/PEN
·
Phones
you his PEN (or emails his Profiles to you)
For you to download his database from India Recruiter, you need his PEN
and
To phone you his PEN, he must register at IndiaReruiter (by submitting
resume).
AHA just cannot look without having PEN database on your local server.
Q. When a candidate phone me his PEN, I may not
remember whether, I have already downloaded his PEN-database earlier and the
same may be available on my hard disk.
Is it possible to search the PEN database on my
local server/hard disk ?
Ans: Sure.
AHA contains a search feature, where you simply type the PEN and click SHOW.
If the database already exists, you will see the Profiles/text
resume/KarmaScope etc.
If the database is missing, a message will flash, telling you to log
into PEN-data page download from there.
Q. having downloaded from IndiaRecruiter, can I
email/transfer a candidate’s PEN-database to our another branch office/factory
located in another city, for use by our remote HR manager there ?
Ans: Sorry.
This is not possible. But if that branch/factory is connected to you local
sever thru WAN (at the time of using AHA), you remote HR manager would be able to
access PEN database (if authorized to access the database)
Q. Having downloaded from IndiaRecruiter, can I
email/transfer a candidate’s PEN-database to our another branch office/factory
located in another city, for use by our remote HR Manager there ?
Ans: Sorry.
This is not possible. But if that branch/factory is connected to your local
server thru WAN (at the time of using AHA), your remote HR Manager would be able to access PEN database
If authorized to access the database.

ü We have apporx. 7 lakh Job Advt. |
ü We may have 1.18 Lakh + 2.0 “
(?) 2004 + 2005) |
To launch GR, at minimum, we need
Ø Admin tool
Ø Job Search- Archival
Ø Resume Search - “
No problem if “Job Posting-Archival” is not
ready. Corporates can/will use our conventional Job Posting Method/U-I.
For Resume Posting, candidates, in anycase have
to use our Submit Resume” Form.
There is no worry on “Job Advt” front. We will
go on adding into GR database, daily downloading from Naukri.
Hence jobseekers will get plenty of FRESH JOBS for
searching.
But what will
ð attract partner websites to become
“partners” in the first place
ð attract corporates to become
“subscribers”
is
RESUME
DATABASE.
We will have 1.18 L + (maybe) 2.0 L to start
with.
Barely enough.
We need a MILLION !
That made us think of
“Recharge Your Prepaid A/C – Free”.
It may “appeal” to Corporates.
It may even “Interested” them
But,
It will not “compel” them to donate to us,
those millions of text resumes
lying on their hard disks !
They need to be made, an
IRRESSITIBEL
OFFER.
For this, my idea is
Ø offer to convert their text resumes
– for FREE – into into structured database, using GuruMine.
Let them upload their text resumes (“Bulk
Upload” feature in RecruitGuru) on any partner website. Then, after a period ,
comeback and download the “structured database” created by GuruMine.
Ø Then offer them “free” download of
our search-engine
GuruSearch
(What use is a “structured” database without a matching search-engine ?)
Now they have, on their hardisk,
-
Structured
Resume Database
-
A
fantastic Search Engine
in return for “donating” to us those millions of text resumes ! (only UNIQE ones). I think they will
bite
See enclosed Alt #1 / #2 / #3.
Although very important, this is a low priority item (v 2.0). First let
us simply launch GR !
Dear HR Manager
Thousands of text resumes in your
computer but cannot find that proverbial “Needle in the haystack” just when you

When 1000 candidates are interviewed &
rated by both 3P & clients, a scattergram (& line of best fit) can be
plotted, to reveal interesting “ co-relations” A company can plot such diagram
for correlation between its own ① 1st round interview rating (X axis)
② 2nd
round interview rating (Y axis)

Ø In GuruQuest, we are enabling
several managers (belonging to same co. – but at different locations), to
create “ Private Questions Databank” by creating Excel sheets
Ø All such Excel sheets have to be uploaded in GuruQuest tool, so that all
managers benefit form knowledge of all other managers of the company
Ø But, some central/chief HR manager
will insist that unless he “sees & approves” all uploaded questions first,
this private databank cannot be “activated/made usable” by managers located at
far away locations !
Ø We will need to incorporate this
feature in GuruQuest
Rahul ð Saurabh
Guru
Quest (offline)
I
I T (online)
Ø We are developing GuruQuest in
asp.net, so that, once it is operational offline with 3P/Strategic HR, we can
upload it on
IndiaRecruiter
with changes/modifications
suggested by our own consultants.
Ø Being able to click on a keyword to
call-up interview questions is, obviously the MAIN feature. It is our USP (unique
selling Propositions)
Ø What big/professional companies will
like is the ability to create PRIVATE databank of questions (questions which
are UNIQUE to their industry/business/product/services etc.).
Ø I am convinced that the Chief HR
Manager will distribute this task (of creation of PRIVATE questions) amongst
in-house domain-experts located all over country or even world. This is
enabling them to capture/encapsulate the collective WISDOM of the
organization.
As of today, this WISDOM gets lost to the organisaton, everytime a
domain expert leaves the company.
With this PRIVATE databank feature, for the first time, the Chief HR
Manager does not have to worry about losing the knowledge/wisdom, everytime an
expert leaves ! This is a great relief !!
Ø Going one step further, we decided
to add to GuruQuest,
Candidate Assessment
(See enclosed / draft U/I).
An interviewer is expected to fill
this page as soon as he/she completes interviewing a candidate.
The interviewing itself could be across the table or over telephone.
Over a period of time. We must add the features of
ð Video Interviewing (from
multi-location)
ð Photo-file attachment (before Video
Interviewing)
ð Voice recognition of Interviewer’s
spoken Questions, conversion into text and preserve as either AudioFile or Text
file.
ð Instant Messaging
ð Collaboration amongst several HR
Managers (belong to same client company)
OR between Recruitment Agency Consultant and its corporate client HR manager.
Ø In candidate Assessment, there are 3
main elements:
·
Expandable/configurable
list of
ITEMS/ ATTRRBUTES
This could be “customized &frozen” for a given position/vacancy
·
Attachment
of
WEIGHTAGES
to
each ITEM/ATTRIBUTE
-
Which
again would be customizable-but frozen – for a given position/vacancy
·
Scoring
on a scale of 1 to 5
Ø While designing the u/I for this
score-sheet I realized that it should be developed as pluggable, standard
component, which, we can use again & again at many places.
Ø I realized that we could, profitably
use this component in
CANDIDATES REFERENCE (CR)
(Antecedent Check)
See U/I enclosed
Ø By simply changing ITEMS/ATTRIBUTES
list, we have instantly created anew feature call
(Candidate reference (CR)
When corporate HR Manager get to see this feature, they will insist that
all recruitment Agencies use this feature. They will insist that the
recruitment agencies
-
Candidate
Assessment (CA)
-
Candidate
Reference (CR)
This (insistence on part of client HR Manager) will work to our
advantage.
Even if 3P/Strategic HR start using these forms – and start emailing
these to their Corporate clients – the word would spread real fast.
If these very clients are also making use of other Recruitment Agencies,
they will start asking them.
“Hey, if 3P/Strategic HR can send us CA/CR along with a candidate’s
PROFIELS, why can’t you ?”
What value-addition are you making, pushing plain text resumes ?
Ø Now notice the difference:
CA is an “assessment” of a candidate,
immediately after the interview.
·
Whether
offline/online
·
Whether
by Agency or Client )final Interview)
Whereas,
No previous employer has time to fill in a CR & send/email to a
Recruitment Agency.
According to Nirmit, Candidate Reference (CR) only works over telephone,
even at the best of the time.
No one wants to give in writing (by filling-up a structured form), what
he/she thinks about another person.
This is especially true if some negative/less than-flattering comments
are involved.
People, don’t like to say bad thins about a previous colleague/boss/subordinate/supplier,
even over a phone, where no record is kept.
And then, most executive don’t
want to spend a lot of time,
answering a lot of questions, even over a phone.
Now compound this with the always present problem, of our consultant
“forgetting” to ask the right/relevant question, because that opinion-giver
is a hurry !
One again, if, as a consultant,
you get a feeling that the opinion giver is in hurry, then you ask only those
questions, whose “weightage” is more, leaving-out minor questions.
A check-list will also provide uniformity/consistency (of questions)
across all of our consultants.
Of Course, before starting the telephonic reference-check, our
consultant would need to explain to the opinion-Giver, Out 5 point scale. This
will make it vey easy for Opinion-Giver to say,
“Well, on hard work, I will say, he was “average” but on discipline, I
would rate him “good”.
Consultant can click the relevant radio-button, even as Opinion-Giver is
speaking (of course, hand-free, earphones would be ideal but not essential).
These are my preliminary thoughts. In you meeting with Mitchell/Thakur/Amit/Aparna, some more
thoughts will emerge. Thru a copy of this note, I am requesting them to
contribute their valuable suggestions, so that we can accommodate, somethings
which I might have missed out.
Of course, some more points are found to emerge after our consultants
have used CA/CR for a few weeks. We will incorporate these too, before going
online.
Good Luck

Resume
Searcher
Ø After Resume Rater this should be
our next priority for a FREELY downloadable s/w tool. I t also double-up as,
·
Social
consensus/media
·
Harnessing
the knowledge of thousands of s/w geeks.
Ø Why?
Ø RSC Resume Searcher) greatly simplifies the lives of recruiters/
headhunters. They don’t need to spend many hours everyday, online, conducting
resume searches and then online reading of hundreds of resumes, so that they
can decide which one are wroth downloading
·
It
saves them precious time, which, they can profitably use in interviewing
candidates.
·
For
a recruitment dept of accompany or for a recruitment agency, RS usage will mean
less man powers to do more work. I have
a feeling that, both in 3P & in Strategic HR, a no. of “Research
Assistants” do nothing whole day, other than conduct online resume search, read/shortlist
resumes & then download & email to their seniors !
·
RS
is an ideal “Companion Tool” to RR. RS to enable “automated” downloading of resumes
from a no. of job portals
&
RR to enable “automated” rating/grading of
those downloaded resumes
&
RR to enable emailing of “Interview Calls” to a
few candidates, rated Excellent.
Between them, these 2 tools solve a majority of
Problems of recruiters.
Ø RS “feels’ RR (a kind of automated
“supply-chain”)
Ø We don’t need to “maintain/update”
RS. The user community will do it themselves. We will only
start/initiate/kick-off this process by being the first to upload the GuruGrab”
which we have developed (for Monster ?) – although not working currently. We
will upload under the “assumed name” ð Beginner, hoping that someone will
come forward to set it right.
Ø If, ultimately, thousands of
recruiters start using RS daily on several jobsites, they would be downloading &
processing, several LAKHS resumes daily thru RR- giving us email IDs and
simultaneously popularizing IndiaRecruiter !
Ø Whereas Monster/Naukri can resist –
or even “debar” one user from using RS for automated downloads, they
will find it very difficult to resist, several thousand of their “legitimate”
subscribers/customers from doing this ? they may revolt against any such
attempt on the part of job portals.
Ø An Clever changes/modifications on
part of Monster/Naukri (to prevent auto downloads), will be treated by the
geeks as some kind of a “Challenge” – to be overcome !
They may even
discover-and post/upload -software that could penetrate Monster/Naukri’s resume
database even without a user
ID/Password ! It never pays to challenge the hackers !!
Ø Large Corporate subscribers may even
resent/protest the arbitrary limits imposed by Monster/Naukri on no. of resumes
that can be downloaded in a day.
Ø If someone develops RS version for
IndiaRecruiter (rest assured, it will happen), it does not matter, because of
our “Pay Per Click” model. Will such resumes flow into “Resume Holders”?
Ø As far as enclosed u/I are
concerned, treat them as “concept/drafts” only. I am sure you and your team
will comeup with some superior u/I (simpler/intuitive).
Ø Here are some points to be
considered:
·
After
a few months, there could will be
8 versions of Naukri
12
“ “ Monster
15
“ “ timesjobs etc.
Shall we enable a recruiter to search by “Jobportal Name”, so that he
can straight away go to the latest version & download ?
·
We want that no one can “EDIT” some earlier
version, online (like Wikipedia). He can EDIT, only after downloading &then
upload as a new version. Who knows, some recruiter may want to download and use
an older version. Of course, this arrangement will also increase the counter
“No. of Downloads “.
·
It
is possible that Geeks may not like to first download-the EDIT – then upload.
They may think it “Childish” !
Can they click on a versions, which will copy & show the source-code
into another window , where they can edit/modify and when satisfied, click
Which
action will add the latest version to the display.
·

RESUME SEARCHER
Dear HR Manager/Headhunter/SW geek
Ø “Resume Searcher” is an opensource
(LINUX-like) community project. Please come forward to contribute-even if you
wish to remain Anonymous.
Ø Your contributions could be by way
of
·
Writing
original source-code for Resume Searcher for a new/different job portal, not
written by anyone so far
·
Modifying
(re-writing) source code for an existing eversion, already submitted by someone
earlier (in order to improve productivity)
I suppose this opportunity to display their talents, would challenge the
s/w geeks. Long live their tribe !
Ø As far as the HR
managers/headhunters/Recruiters are concerned, downloading (absolutely FREE)
and using Resume Searcher would simplify their lives and increase their Productivity
several fold. Now they don’t need to go “ONLINE’ to conduct a Resume Search !
Before going home in the evening, for each of their resume need, they will
fill-in the “Search parameter User Interface” (offline) then connect to the job
portal (to which they should have subscribed and got User ID/password to enter
and click .
That is all ! next Next morning resumes found from that jobsite, would have
been delivered into their mailbox – ready to be rated using Resume Rater. Just
open/read top 5, then send out Interview Calls before 10 am. If Resume Searcher
does not work, Post Your Problem. May be the geeks will offer a solution !
