Our
target is to make "Job Posting" very easy / very compelling.
With this
in mind, we recently added following features.:-
· Currency
Converter
(To
enable foreign companies to post jobs/ do "Vacancy Blasts")
· Auto - fill of "Contact Info"
(To
save time)
· Auto
- fill of "Keywords" box
- To save time
- To establish "Relevance" with post
being advertised
- To be able to compute RAW SCORE for that job
advt and therefore, to be able to compute "MATCH INDEX" with any
resume.
But the
"Job Description" box continues to be a BIG HURDLE.
I have
seen HR managers having 10 years of experience, literally FUMBLE when it comes
to writing a clear/ concise / appropriate Job - Description for any
"Position/ Vacancy" they wish to Fill - up !
This
(writing of Job description) is, one of their biggest PAIN - POINT !
We would
score BIG, if we can help them out of this pain !
And, it
seems we CAN.
By
MASHING with our "Post Job" form
http://online.onetcenter.org/find/quick?
By modifying
"Post Job" form as follows:
Job. Title/ Vacancy
Fetch Job Description
·
From my
own past job Advt. (Latest)
·
From
Onetcenter
Job Description
Table: GR client Job Secription
|
Of course, recruiter would need to first entry
/ type "Job / Title/ Vacancy Name" , before clicking on one of the links shown.
If, clicking
on "From my own past Job Advt (Latest)"
Does not
fetch any result, a message will ask him to click "From Onetcenter"
If he has
ever advertised for a vacancy/ position earlier, he would want to repeat the
SAME job - description once again (Why re - invent the
wheel ?).
If, in the
past, he has spent a lot of time researching & Composing a good/ relevant
job - description (for any given vacancy) then it is obvious that he
would want to use it again.
Of course,
he can EDIT it, after the job - description box fills up.
In which
case, our S/W will delete the old one and replace it with the
"edited" version (as long as Vacancy
Name/ Title/ Position tallies
Perfectly).
If
"Vacancy Name / Title/ Position" entered, differs slightly from the
earlier one, then, we can show him both the versions and allow him to choose anyone.
Recruiter
clicks on link From Onetcenter
In this case, our S/W will enter the
Position/ Vacancy/ Title ,
The page
fetched will be shown in a Separate window (-without hiding / covering
"Job Description" box in our form?)
This will
present to the recruiter, several links.
He will
click one which he considers "most relevant" to his needs.
That will
open (in the same window), full job - description.
Some
portions of the job - description may be relevant and some may be irrelevant.
But, I
suppose, he can "Copy/ Paste" into the "Job Description"
box then EDIT it.
It is
easier to edit something you are presented with than to Construct from scratch
!
However,
I feel our "Job Description" box with its 4 line is too small fav.
editing we need some trick!
This
morning I tried some 30/40 "Position/ Title/ Vacancy - Name" in O -
Net and found very good / relevant
links.
It seems
O - net's "Relevance" score mechanism (algorithm) is based on
"keywords" having certain "weightages" and therefore very similar to our own
"Raw Score / Percentile Score" Concept. MASHING such a web site with
our own website, enhances the
credibility of our website. It is a kind of "Endorsement" of our
logic !
Since
Poonam had worked on modifying "Job Post" form recently, I suggest
that she take ups as her next project, as
soon as she has completed her current project. I have given her / shalaka, a
demo of O - net's capabilities.
