IDEA FOR PHASE 2

VS,

Here is an idea for Phase2 : A product that sells itself : A Marketing Guy's Dream

ResumeSYNC will upload thousands of TEXT resumes daily ( onto Central Server ) , from hard disks of thousands of Employers

These will get parsed to create a " Structures / Searchable " database

But , as quite likely , in each such structured resume , values in some fields may be wrong and some fields may be totally missing ( Parsing extracts 23 fields ! ) . Could be a parsing error or an error inherently present in the original text resume

How do we correct these ?

By asking the Resume Owner himself  ( - who does not even know that we have his resume ! )

As soon as each resume gets " parsed / structured " , following email will go out ( automatically ) to each resume-owner ( fortunately , in parsing , email IDs get extracted accurately ):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VS,

In IndiaRecruiter.net , we had one useful feature

As soon as an Employer posted a job and clicked " SUBMIT " , within 5 seconds , our software searched entire resume database , shortlisted " suitable / matching " candidates and displayed the search results in a tabulation below ( while asking employer to " Just Wait / Finding Suitable Resumes " )

I believe , now this feature is common on most job portals

Logic is simple

Take a look at the fields in " Post Job " form

You will find these are the SAME in " Resume Search " form ! Two sides of the same coin !

Incidentally , in your proposed site , just below the " Post Job " form , you will need to add following , before " SUBMIT " button  :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pl activate this job posting for :

*  OFFLINE  interviewing ( after Job Search / Apply Online by Jobseekers ).... Check Box

*  ONLINE   interviewing  ( thru OnlineJobsFair virtual cabin )........................ Check Box

*  Both Type of Interviewing.........................................................................  Check Box

SUBMIT

VS,

After reading this last mail , Kartavya will turn around and ask :

" How is this any different from RecruitGuru.com of 10 years ago ?

   There too , Users had to upload their TEXT resumes , in order to get these parsed ? "

Here are the differences :

#   Uploading of Text Resumes ( for parsing ) in RecruitGuru was " Voluntary "

   

     In proposed version , uploading will be " Mandatory " . In fact , it will be " Automatic " , without

    needing any action on the part of the Users , once he installs ResumeSYNC

    And he is not considered " Registered " user unless he " ACTIVATES " ResumeSYNC after downloading

#   In RecruitGuru , every user's database ( of parsed resumes ) was kept separate and can be accessed

     only by him ( partitioned ) . No other user can access / search it

    In current version , we plan to merge ALL parsed resumes into ONE SINGLE COMMON database , for

    ALL users to access / search  / short list / send out Interview Calls

    So , in return for sharing their own small personal databases , every user gets to access a HUGE

  

   database !  A classic case of " Network Externality "

   Those Employers who realize ( and that will be the main job of your Marketing Team ) that every single

   resume arriving in their mailbox , can also be found in mailboxes of hundreds of other Employers , will  

   be only too happy to give up on this " Perceived Unique Ownership " , and join us so that , henceforth   

   he has no need to pay Naukri  a hefty subscription ( Rs 6 lakh / year ) !

   He will find in our CENTRAL COMMON  database , all the resumes that he will ever need !

#   In proposed version , all registered / active users get to interview candidates " Online " , using

  

    OnlineJobsFair feature . This was not there in RecruitGuru .

    With competition getting fierce by the second , who has time to ,

    *  Post a job advt on Naukri / Monster / Timesjobs

    *  Wait for 10 days for jobseekers to " discover " your ad and Apply Online

    *  Read / Rate / Rank the resumes ( Excellent / Good / Fair / Poor ) trickling into your mailbox

    *  Send out Interview Call emails and wait for confirmations

    *  Keep yourself ( and your Interview Panel Members ) , free on the day of the interview , only to

        find that 5 out of 10 candidates failed to turn up

    *  Conduct FINAL interview on another date / time

In short , as far as requirement of FRESH GRADUATES is concerned , I strongly believe , OnlineJobsFair would change the Rules of the Game

And do not forget one thing as far as persuading 4 million MSMEs , who have , so far , never used Naukri / Monster / Timesjobs , because they need to fill only 2 / 5 vacancies per year

Obviously , since they are practically unknown among the jobseekers , they are NOT receiving ANY unsolicited resumes in their mailboxes

But even then , they can download / install ResumeSYNC on their hard-disks

And even if morning after morning , they fail to contribute , a single resume , they are still eligible for full unrestricted access to COMMON database !

Today , these 4  million are ( in the words of Christensen ) , " NON - CONSUMERS " of online recruitment industry

Through our offering , we plan to make them " Consumers "  !

VS,

Here is a classic example of  " afterthought " !

Why should Resume Text Parsing Engine be built into the tool " ResumeSYNC " and the parsing of the text resumes ( arriving into the mail boxes of thousands of Users ) , be carried out on those thousands of hard-disks ?

Would it not be much better - and a lot easier - that tool " ResumeSYNC " only,

*  Reads the Inbox ( Inbox Reader designed by Kartavya's colleague , Vikram )

*  Separates incoming emails into  >  with attachments    >  without attachments

*  Opens / reads the attachments ( to confirm these are actually " resumes " )

   {  I have prepared a detailed LOGIC }

*  Next morning , uploads all of these TEXT resumes onto the CLOUD , where the parsing takes place

Am I goofing up somewhere ?

VS,

Take a look at the following " Draft " for the Functional Specifications " for,

www.ResumesandJobs.com ( or whatever ! )

hcp

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUNCTIONAL  SPECIFICATIONS   for.....  www.ResumesandJobs.com ( 30 Sept 2016 )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This site will have 2 main sections named : Jobseekers :  Employers

We need to keep provision to later insert a 3rd section named : Public

Main features will be as follows :

#   Jobseekers

*  Registration ( ie: Submit Resume )

 This will be same 5 stage form as in CustomizeResume

   After submission , outputs will be > A plain TEXT resume > A graphical set of Profiles

  After conducting a Job-Search and short listing a few jobs , before clicking " APPLY " button , a jobseeker will need to select :

*  Send my plain text resume ( FREE ) , or

*  Send my Graphical Profile , as well ( PAID / Re 1 per apply ? ) ( Payment thru online ccAvenue gateway / Recharge , as in B2B site )

In CustomizeResume , we have 2 different REGISTRATION FORMS ( Fresh Graduates and Experienced Professionals )

VS to decide whether he wants to keep both or just one

*  Job search and  Apply Online

More or less , this will follow the same structure as in CustomizeResume

This feature will incorporate " Job Recommendation System " , a very elementary version of which can be found in

CustomizeResume site

For logic of this advanced version , refer to my notes on > Job Recommendation System > Match Index System

Jobs will be displayed in the Descending Order of the Index

This will also determine the " Job Alerts " for any given jobseeker , delivered thru " My Jobs cum Resume Blaster " App

There will be no provision online for display of such Job Alerts or Apply Online

In CustomizeResume , we have provided for many different types of " Job searches "

VS to decide which ones to keep and which ones to discard

*  MY  JOBS  cum  RESUME  BLASTER

Existing source codes will need to be re-written , for combining these two currently separate Apps into ONE offering

This combined App will become a " Publisher " for InMobi Ad Network ( or any other similar ad network )

In Phase 2 , we will introduce , " Ad-Sharp " and " Ad-Compose " for which Concept Notes are ready

This is a key feature of the entire site , since it has a built-in Revenue Model thru delivery of Advts from InMobi

In current version , first 5 job alerts are delivered FREE to the App User

For fetching additional job alerts , he must CLICK on a delivered Ad , thereby earning money

On clicking " Apply Online " in this App , text resumes get emailed to the concerned job-advertisers ( FREE )

I think , we should NOT allow Resume Blasting online from the web site ( as in CustomizeResume )

#  OnlineJobsFair

This entire offering is explained in great details in my hand-written notes ( including User Interfaces and Page Write-ups )

VS to prepare a list of questions , if any , concerning this offering and send to me in advance ( before his visit to Mumbai ) , so that I can keep the answers ready

#   Job  Market  Analytics

We introduced this feature only a few weeks ago - only to discover that Job Advts RSS feeds ( from leading Job Portals ) have stopped working !

This will need to be re-started and thereafter , this feature should be enlarged to incorporate my latest emailed specifications to Shuklendu

Rest of this feature ( covered by my emails to Rohini and T C Anant ) to be taken up in Phase 2

#   EMPLOYERS

The following are the main services / features for the Employers

#  Registration

By and large , this can be same as in CustomizeResume but do take a look at the Registration Form in B2B

#   Post  Jobs

This too can be same as in CustomizeResume , with a provision ( for Phase 2 ) , to enable Employers to be able to post their " PRODUCT / SERVICE " advertisements as well ( to take care of Ad-Sharp )

#   Resume  Search

Only last week , I said , we should not have " Resume Search " feature on this web site

Today , I say , " we should provide for this " !

Here is why :

#   ResumeSYNC

As envisaged in my handwritten notes , ResumeSYNC was supposed to carry out the Synchronization of the Resume Databases of thousands of Users ( Employers who have downloaded and installed ResumeSYNC on their hard-disks ) , by " downloading " ALL resumes from the CENTRAL SERVER , every morning - and then enable such a User to be able to search his ( rapidly growing ) resume database , OFFLINE , using search-tool " Guru-Search " built into ResumeSYNC

Of course , every morning , as soon as such a User ( of ResumeSYNC ) goes online , all the parsed resumes of the preceding 24 hours , get automatically UPLOADED onto the CENTRAL SERVER , before the DOWNLOADING starts

But now I realize that this ( downloading in order to synchronize ), is entirely unnecessary !

Those millions of parsed resumes can continue to remain in the CLOUD ( Central Server ) !

All that we need to do is to enable a User to conduct Resume Search , online on our site , using Guru-Search engine ( developed by Kartavya , in RecruitGuru.com )

And , as done in our tool " Resume Rater " , enable that User to short list suitable candidates and send out Interview Calls , from the web site itself !

In any case , such a provision has  also  been made in " OnlineJobsFair " feature

What does this lead to ?

*  One type of " Interview Calls " going out AFTER conducting Guru-Search and short listing by the User,  is strictly for OFFLINE ( on the ground ) interviews in the BRICK and MORTAR cabin of the Interviewer ( where he must , not only spell out date / time / physical address , but also things such as > You will be reimbursed first class return air-fare / may be required to stay overnight etc

*  Second type of " Interview Calls " , in  OnlineJobsFair  feature where .

   >  there is no prior " Online Resume Search " by the Recruiters

   >  jobseekers who are Online , look up what jobs are listed by Recruiters exclusively for " Online Interviewing "

   >  jobseekers submit their resumes ( again and again ) for being interviewed by different recruiters

   >  Recruiters book ( any numbers ) Virtual Interview Cabins and display list of Interviewer for each cabin

   >  Recruiters assign " Interview Schedule " ( date / time / virtual cabin number ) to each candidate selected for

       interviewing

  >   Many other features listed inOnlineJobsFair

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my opinion , an  IDEAL  FUNCTIONAL   SPECIFICATION   for any web site , would consist of a comprehensive set of  User Interfaces / Page Write-ups / Result Displays ( after each action by a Jobseeker or an Employer )

I have always followed this practice in all of my earlier web sites , starting with www.3pJobs.com ( 14 Nov 1997 )

As a result , the Developer / SW coder , does NOT need to " guess " , what I have in mind when I " write " specs

This also meant , speedier , more accurate and faithful development at minimum cost ( because the developer does not need to build into his quotation , certain amount for " afterthoughts " by the customer )

This also leads to minimum disputes and maximum satisfaction with the final outcome

And , above all , such COMPREHENSIVENESS , will result in immediate FUNDING by VC  !

Incidentally , I suppose , the site will need to be Mobile Friendly

I suggest VS quickly discuss this note with his colleagues and forward his views / comments / questions to , both kartavya and me . by 2nd Oct 2016
