OES
To
discuss and arrive at conclusions on the issues raised by Abhi, in this note,
pl. attend a meeting in my office on
Friday
(Feb. 27th)
at
10 A.M
This
is regarding OES, Module 1, Non Member Database.
I
have following suggestions to make. I request all of you to go through this
document, debate over it and reach to a conclusion. Our decision will decide
what kind of tools/softwares will get developed in future in 3P.
MODULE 1.
Suggestion
1: Let us get away with the concept of
Industry.
Why
:
Since
in past we found that DEOs (Data Entry Operators) are not really capable of
defining the industry, we developed a tool using which, depending on the
company name w built a knowledge-base of Industry. While adding a new resume,
If the current company is present in the knowledge-base then industry gets
defined automatically, otherwise it remains BLANK. Because of this that
particular resume becomes un-searchable on Industry parameter. One
has to check all such resumes on periodic basis and keep on refining/updating
the Industry Knowledge-base, which is difficult. So this logic is not
full-proof.
Suggestion
2 : Let
us get away with CURRENT Concept of Function and
Designation Level.
Why :
Here
also the problem is same. We have developed a tool, which stores the Actual
Designation and splits it into Function and Designation Level. White adding a
new resume, if the current Designation is present in the knowledge-base then
Function and designation Level gets automatically defined, otherwise it remains
BLANK. Because of this that particular resume will not be searchable on
function as well as Designation Level Parameter. One has to check all such
resumes on periodic basis and keep on refining the Knowledge-base, which is
difficult. So this logic is not full proof.
Here
I have assumed that the Function is the first parameter to decide if a
candidate is a right fit and then comes Industry. Designation Levels are
ambiguous in practical world and change from company to company.
