"Job - Candidate Assessment " made easy

Dear Recruiter In my yesterday's post , I talked about GRAPHICAL PROFILES of a Job-seeker , generated when he submitted his RESUME on ( now de-hosted ) job portal ...www.IndiaRecruiter.net What are these Profiles ? #   Skills Profile ( 3 Main Skills of the Candidate ) #   Project Profile #   Salary Profile #   Tenure Profile #  Career  Profile #   Education Profile What does these profiles tell you about that candidate ?

SKILL PROFILE

The “Skills Profile” is a group of 3 graphs, which specify the top three Skills  for a particular candidate. What each of these graphs shows is the standing of a candidate relative to his co-professionals present in our database. The graphs show the “Raw Score” of a candidate based upon the keywords present in his resume and the “Percentile Score” with respect to other co-professionals. The graphs also show the sample size i.e. the no. of co-professionals with whom the candidate has been compared. The graphs also show the mean, +1 sigma and -1 sigma values which determine the trend followed by 68% of the sample population. If a candidate’s standing falls before -1 sigma line, then it means that he/she holds a very low score and if he/she falls beyond +1 sigma, then it means that he/she lies amongst the cream of the population.

PROJECT EXPOSURE

The “Project Exposure” graph shows the different Projects that the candidate has worked upon, over the years of his academic and professional career. It indicates the no. of projects he/she has completed during a particular period. Plus, it shows the Key skill (technology) that is used for a particular project and the duration taken to successfully complete the project. The table below (“My Projects”) shows the complete details of the Projects that the candidate has worked upon.

SALARY PROFILE

The “Salary Profile” graph shows the relative standing of a candidate amongst his co-professionals with respect to his salary. It is an indication that helps you to determine if the candidate is overpaid or underpaid in his current job. The graph also shows the mean, -1 sigma and +1 sigma values. The table below the graph shows the trend, the candidate’s standing, and the no. of candidates having salary which is less than, equal to and more than the salary of the present candidate. It also shows the total sample population.

TENURE PROFILE

The “Tenure Profile” graph shows the relative standing of a candidate amongst his co-professionals with respect to his tenure. It is an indication that shows how stable a candidate is. It helps you to determine if the candidate is a ‘job jumper’ or a ‘contented cow’. The graph also shows the mean, -1 sigma and +1 sigma values. The table below the graph shows the trend, the candidate’s standing, and the no. of candidates having tenure which is less than, equal to and more than the tenure of the present candidate. It also shows the total sample population.

CAREER PROFILE

The “Career Profile” graph shows the trend that a candidate has followed over the years of his career. It indicates the no. of years he/she has remained at a particular designation level. The graph also have a table which shows the date of generation of the graph, the current age, the age when passed the first degree/diploma, the years taken to pass the second degree/diploma, the age at which the first job started, the years elapsed since first degree / diploma and the total years of experience indicated. You can easily come to know of any ambiguity in the data provided by the candidate by glancing through the table. The number in the 2^nd row and 4^th row should normally match. Similarly, the number in the 5^th row and 6^th row should match. Plus, the sum of the numbers in the 2^nd and 5^th, or 2^nd and 6^th, or 4^th and 5^th, or 4^th and 6^th rows should be equal to the number in the first row

Plus, it shows the degree passed at each level and the no. of years taken to successfully pass the degree.
