A
TALE OF TWO CITIES
(GunAd
Functional Specifications)
In
the GunAd FS which I sent to you 2 days ago, I had mentioned that, while
constructing a new job-advt online, a subscriber’s first choice would be to
look-up his own/similar job-advt released in the past.
I
suspect even today this is exactly what recruitment managers must be
doing—albeit offline.
The
clever-ones amongst them, may even have their own (past job-advt in category
catalog) on their PCs. All that they may be required to do is to copy &
edit the old advt, to create the next one!
After
all, only a few fields need change.
The
dumb-ones may be keeping a folder of “hardcopies” & referring.
Real
dumb-ones may be starting from SCRATCH every time, they sit down to
construct a new advt.
Now
this being the case, we should make recruitment managers’ lives easy.
Allow
them to upload their own PAST job-advt in GunAd.
Then,
by installing AUTO-CONVERTER tool as part of GunAd, all such uploaded
advts will get processed (automatically) & create a job-advt database.
Of
course, we must perfect this Auto-converter tool, so that all fields get
extracted (Job-Mining).
Even
then we must provide a facility for the concerned subscriber/recruiter to be
able to EDIT each & every job-advt (which he uploads), as soon as
Auto-converter completes the conversion process.
This
“edit” facility would be especially useful when Auto-converter fails to
correctly extract →
- Industry
- Function
- Designation-Level
- Actual
Designation
As
far as these 4 fields are concerned, …
no
one is a better expert / a more knowledgeable person, than the Recruitment
Manager of the concerned company!
Irrespective
of the “actual designation / position-name,” the concerned recruitment manager
knows precisely what is the “Designation Level” or the exact “Function,” as far
as his company is concerned.
e.g.
a “Controller - Finance,” can be, at
→
V.P. level in Company X
→
CFO level in Company Y
→
GM level in Company Z
Same
with “Head Marketing” or with “In-charge R&D” or with “Officer - Planning”
etc.
IMPORTANT
POINT
See
enclosed chart. Point to be noted is that, as far as Job Advt. Database on
Recruitment is concerned, there is nothing like a PRIVATE database.
Everything gets to view/download everybody else’s job-advt!
