Hi Friends,

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

With regards,

Job-Description

When we have created a “structured” database of 5 Lakh job-adverts, we will be in a position to offer the following features to our subscribers:

Job-Description Manual

In this case, let us say that a given subscriber has (i.e. already created) an Organisation-chart of his company, such as:

              M.D

   ┌────────────────────┐

   CFO      President     CEO

          ┌────────────┐

       VP(Mfg)   VP(R&D)   VP(Mktg)

       ┌────┐       ┌────┐

   GM(Mfg Shop)  GM(Assy Shop)

 

We allow the subscriber to “upload” this chart in a particular tool/module.

Then, when he clicks on a particular position (hierarchy block), immediately a draft/tentative job-description pops up next to that block.

This job-description is pulled from our “Job-Advt Database” using same priority as described in my today’s note on Job-Advt Database.

Subscriber can now “edit” this job-description by adding/deleting/modifying.

When he is satisfied, he clicks SAVE. Of course, there should be a provision whereby he can edit at any time.

Organisation-Chart Construction

In this case, we presume that the subscriber does NOT have an existing (readymade) chart for his company. He wants to construct one from scratch. In this case, the Software Module…

…will present to him a “Template” such as follows:

Company Name:

Template Name:

Template Level:

Division/Section:
Template No: ___

                 V.P. Mfg  ← starting block

 ┌──────────────────────────────┐

 GM(M/c Shop)   GM(C Assy)      GM(Contracts)

                │

           Mgr(Design)  Mgr(Off-Store)  Mgr(Stores)

(Linking Level → Charting Level)

More blank blocks get exposed by scrolling →

A subscriber is presented a “blank” Org. Chart.

In the “starting block” he enters the first “designation/position name”.

Occupant Data | VP (Mfg) | Job Description

  • ID No.
  • Name
  • Date of Birth
  • Date of Joining
  • Past Jobs Since…
  • Next Jobs To…

Buttons:

  • SAVE
  • NEXT LEVEL DOWN
  • EDIT
  • NEXT LEVEL UP

·         As soon as he enters “actual designation,” in any block on the template, two adjacent blocks pop up, as shown, viz:

·         a → “Occupant Data Block”

Here the recruiter would need to enter all pertinent values for the current occupant.
Anytime the occupant resigns/retires/dies, recruiter can come back & edit + fill-in values pertaining to the new occupant.

·         b → “Job Description Block”

This block gets filled up automatically from the Job-Advt Database. Subscriber can “Edit + Save” it. By & large this block (i.e. job-description) will not require changes, unless a person leaves & another moves into his slot.

·         Starting Block will always be just one block in each template. However, a subscriber can expose any no. of additional “blank blocks” in Linking Level & Charting Level by horizontal scrollbars for each level.

 

Overall Linking Template / Matrix (GRID):

Horizontal / breadth → span

Vertical → depth / level

[Sketch of a grid with “Template Number” at bottom left, pointing up to positions like 4P, 6F, 2K etc.]

  • Clicking on each will expose/reveal the details of each Sectional / Divisional / Departmental Org. chart.

What I have described is a crude concept. The effort is to develop a realistic / universally applicable concept / module.

This module (GunAd) can help REPLICATE TRUE LIFE organization charts of large companies & then study by concept what works, what modifications are required.

Once again, we are leveraging the job-advt database to help us offer this feature to HR managers.

How to display GRID either:

  • While constructing Org. chart, or
  • While “searching” a particular section/faction.

ALT #1

  • [Sketch of scrollable grid with X/Y axis]
  • Both axes can be scrolled → blocks slide under, disappear from view & new blocks get exposed.
  • To reveal new “sections” which can be clicked & enlarged.
  • Faint matrix/grid remains in background.

ALT #2

  • Matrix remains permanently in one corner.
  • Balanced Org. chart for Section “F6” shown.
  • Click on any block → entire Org. chart gets displayed.
