Adverts Database (JANS)

In
my earlier notes (JANS / CYBER etc.), I have explained how we will use a
Job Adverts Database to promote our business both online & offline.
In
Project Manhattan, we have a proof of how such a database helped.
I
strongly believe that our ability to capture 2 million / 5 million / 10 million
resumes largely depends upon:
- Our
ability to download thousands of job adverts from a large number of
portals / myriad sources.
- Creating
a structured database (converter) of these adverts.
- Delivering
these job adverts, in a dozen different institutions (or even streamers),
to:
- Newspapers
/ Magazines
- TV
Channels / Cable Operators
- Cyber
Cafes
- Job
Portals
- Placement
Agencies
- Cell-phone
Companies
- Individual
Homes
- etc.
etc.
(All
forming part of JANS / CYBER network)
We
have known/discovered the shortcomings of Project Manhattan — in pulling
in resumes — viz.:
- No
one can possibly believe that we are working on so many search
assignments, so after a while, jobseekers stop responding.
- Occasionally,
in downloading/uploading, we do make mistakes — e.g., advertiser’s
name/identity/product or senior position jobs which result in phone
calls to our consultants — which are embarrassing!
- We
do not pass on the resumes received to the original advertisers —
so obviously none of the responding jobseekers ever gets an interview
call!
- Genuine
adverts, released by our consultants for our live search
assignments, get lost in the sea of fictitious adverts — they don’t get
noticed, so effort gets wasted and real/genuine business suffers!
Anyway,
Manhattan did serve a useful (limited) purpose, but it is time to shut it
down.
So, starting July 20th, delete all fictitious job adverts from all 3
divisions by July 31st.
However,
the next 2 months (June–July) must be used to prepare ourselves
to enable us to launch:
- Project
CYBER in late August
- (This
will require some changes in our website. After Project EGO gets launched
beginning of August.)
- Project
JANS in late September
- (This
will require major modifications to our website.)
Starting
1st June, and using Myriad,
Deepa
will daily download as many job adverts as she can from as many job sites as
she can.
I have listed only a few in the enclosed chart.
If
we could download 1000/day, it would be lovely!
Deepa
will use the enclosed chart for entering the download statistics.
She
should create this chart on computer (preferably on her computer), so she can
put a copy on my machine also.
She
can click and enter data easily.
All
those downloaded during the day must get converted the same night to
create a Structured Database.
If
“Auto-converter” cannot convert job adverts downloaded from any particular
site, we must modify it.
