Abhi/ Deepa/ Vittal
During last 2 months, Samata had been downloading
from Naukri. I believe about 120,000 have been downloaded so far. (We also have
30,000 earlier sent by Sajida).
Occasionally Inder/ Myself helped download ads from
Monster India, whenever we found time.
Altogether,
in Aug. We Probably managed to download 3000 Job advt/ day - no more. There
were problems of :-
Internet
connection bad / not at all
Samata had some other urgent work.
Now that we have settled down comfortably in new
office, with a 512 kb line, we must take - up this job on priority & in
right earnest.
Our target should be 10,000 Job advts/ day
This will require 2 persons / 2 machines. Vittal should
be one of them.
And if Deepa
Cannot be spread full time for this work, I suggest you take any
"Temporary/ Contractual" SSC boy for Rs. 1500 / - P.m.
His target must be 5000 / day (same as for Vittal)
I would like this arrangement to be implemented
&stabilized by next weekend i.e. 21st Sept. That is enough time to buy a
new PC (base configuration).
Of course, clicking on a mouse is NOT "human
use of human beings" - and should be used only till such time that
We get HYBRID modified (at a price of course) so
that, for 5 minutes every morning, you instruct it which jobsites to visit
& download, automatically.
OR
Develop a spider on our own.
Download some spider "free - ware",
mentioned in FOSTER's book "Recruiting on the Web" (now available
with Kavita).
May be Abhi may wish to set a target for
implementing such a spider - and "free", Deepa / Vittal to do some "human"
work !
As far as
job - advts. are concerned, our first target is Indian Jobsites, starting with
Naukri/ Monster/ Job Ahead/ Job street/ Job ad etc.
Today's advts. in Times of India, speaks of 90,000
Jobs - (advts) available on
Timesjobs.com !
In Google, if you type
"India + Job sites"
You will get a list of 200 + Jobsites !
Our spider should be able to download job - advts
from all of these.
Earlier, we had tried "Infogist.com"
"lexilot. com" (?) for spiders (Commercially available)" but did
not succeed because, at that time, our concentration was on downloading of
RESUMES.
And to
access, resume database, all jobsites require SUBSCRIPTION - PASSWORD.
But this is not the case with Job - advts.
Job - Advts fall under "PUBLIC" category
& can be accessed/ downloaded by anybody without a password/ subscription.
Gradually, we must extend our efforts to USA based
jobsites & download USA - based jobs (IT jobs only).
This is because all Indian IT professionals want to
migrate to USA (-except for those working in 3P!).
If we succeed in downloading 2.5 lakh job advt/
month (@1000 / day X 25 days) and 10 lakh in next 4 months, then we have a
large enough database for
Conventional Jobsearch feature on Jobsearch.com
(Our next website URL)
"Functional - Profile" Job search
Match - Theory
Job - search
Job - Alert
as SMS on mobiles. (17 million now, 70
million by 2007)
"Job -
Descriptions" for GuruAd module
"Skill
- wise Keywords" for self learning software
Mailing List of Advertisers to promote Recruit guru.
"Job -
Market Analysis" graphs (Trends) (sample given to Deepa 2/3 months back)
for publishing in Newspapers/ Websites etc. to give us LOTS of FREE publishing
!
Delivering
JAWS (Jobs Across World Summary)
.
Newspapers
. Cyber
Cafes
. Other
websites
. TV
Channels etc
On jobseeker.com there will be a "Configure
Your JAWS" page, which subscribers will fill - in & start getting JAWS
at desired frequency.
Creating database of "Company - wide" Vacancies
advertised over the years. This will help, both Recruit guru & 3P to market
their services. Data mining at its best !
I am sure, you can think - up of many other uses.
But one thing is most important. Whatever no. of
job - advts. Get downloaded during the daytime, must get "AUTO - CONVERTED" & "UP -
LOADED" on Jobseeker.com, SAME NIGHT ! This process, too, must be
automated. There should be no need for human intervention.
