Concept Note on “Resume Holder”
Here is how:
That is because:

-
Not many jobseekers have PC / Internet access to job-portals
-
Amongst thousands of jobs, probability of a perfectly matching job getting listed in search results is very low.
But what happens when jobseekers start using “My Jobs” widget?
-
No need for PC / Internet. Smartphone will do.
-
No need for “job-searching” amongst thousands.Our match-making software will deliver 5 perfectly matched jobs, every day.
Result?
-
Instead of 100 / 200 resumes, a recruiter’s mailbox will get flooded with 1000 / 2000 resumes!
Jobseekers will “apply” (even for less interesting jobs), simply because widget will make it so EASY to apply!! FREE
So,
Even when he got 100/200 resumes in his mailbox, recruiter had tough time, reading them all, to sort out 10/15 which were really promising. He had to spend hours.
With 2000 resumes in his mailbox, life could become miserable!
Solution?
▶ A widget called “Resume Holder”
Historical Background:
How did “Resume Holder” solve recruiters’ problem of resumes “flooding” his mailbox?
▶ By “tapping” resumes (of jobseekers who are applying), and never letting these to reach recruiter’s mailbox.
▶ By having a separate “Resume Holder” for each job-advt, and dumping resumes in this.
▶ Whenever any jobseeker applied against…
Any specific job-advt, online, his resume got stored in [relevant] Resume Holder. [respective]
▻ But the most interesting part was:
In each Resume Holder, whatever resumes arrived, got arranged in the descending order of the “Percentile Score” which our software “assigned” to each resume.
Resumes with high percentile score were at the top.
Which meant,
– even if there are 1000 or 2000 resumes in any Resume Holder, the top 10 or 20 were the BEST candidates!
Recruiter needed to read these few and decide whom to call for interview.
▻ No need to lookup mailbox!
▻ Just Login and lookup Resume Holders (Online), whenever time permits.
▻ No need to segregate resumes, job-advt wise, all mixed-up in mailbox!
Can we replicate this “functionality” in a widget?
Yes.
“Where” Inferior?
▻ On a PC screen, we can display dozens of Resume Holders, but on a mobile screen, we can, at most, show 3 resume holders, for last 3 job-adverts.
And,
on a small mobile screen, for any of those 3 job-adverts, we will display only the TOP 5 (best) resumes.
“Where” Superior?
▻ No need for recruiter to be tethered to PC/Internet
▻ Can “access” best resumes (from all arrivals) on-the-go, at any time
▻ Can download any of these TOP 5,
By touching Download button on widget
-
Can, at once, talk to that candidate, by touching buttonCall Mobile
-
Can fix up an interview (even while talking), by touching a buttonInterview Scheduler → Like "Calendar" app & synchronized with recruiter's desktop
Incidentally, we have replaced "Percentile Score" with Raw Score. Serves the same purpose.
After obsoleting "Online JobSearch", we must obsolete "Online Resume Search".
Some very tentative screen-shots are as follows:

(Arranged in descending order of “Raw Scores” assigned by our software to each resume, with Best at Top)
Additional Note (Red Ink - Final Page):
To be added to "covering letter" to resume-forwarding emails (whenever jobseekers “apply” — online or thru widget — after Resume Holder gets ready):
"By posting your future jobs on our website only,you can stop job-applicants from flooding your mailbox.Once you do, all applicant-resumes will get stored in your Resume Holder for you to view, whenever you want."
