Thank You, Rajan Anandan !
Economic Times carries following news :
I am glad that after a lapse of 13 YEARS , Google has acted on my following letter to Shri Ashish Kashyap :
Tuesday,
30 May 2017
An Idea Ahead of its Time ?
Following news appeared in Economic Times ( 27
May 2017 ) :
“ Google will soon find you a job as the tech giant
refines its mastery over AI “
As a conclusion when Pichai came back to stage, he announced the biggest incremental feature that Google Search has ever got - Google for Jobs.
A Google's take on simplifying job search for both blue and
white collars across skills and experience.
They are doing this in collaboration
with LinkedIn, Facebook, Monster among others and of course it uses Machine learning to
make the job hunt easy for users.
When I sent the following letter ( hard copy )
to Ashish Kashyap ( the then )
Country Manager – Google India , some 12 YEARS ago , obviously, I was ahead of the times :
================================
December 21, 2005
Mr. Ashish Kashyap
Country Manager
India Sales & Operations
Google Online India Pvt. Ltd.
Odd. No. 211, Level 2, Raheja Centre Point
294 CST Road, Near Mumbai University
Off Bandra Kurla Complex, Kalina, Santacruz ( East)
Mumbai – 400 098.

Dear Mr. Kashyap,
Classifieds For Millions
I refer to my earlier emails ( Dec. 2 / 9 and 13 )
Indian “ Online Recruitment”
industry is approx.. Rs. 300 Crores, with MonsterIndia and Naukri expected
to contribute Rs. 100 cr and Rs. 90 cr respectively during 2005-06.
Altogether, there are about 500+ jobsites in India ( - most operated by brick-and-mortar placement agencies,
for the purpose of collecting resumes.)
Should Google decide
to offer “ classified” job-search / resume search, it is possible
for you to corner a market-share of
· 50% by end of first year……………………………
Rs. 150 cr.
· 80% by end of second
year……………………… Rs. 250 cr.
From an Indian Context, that is a lot of money !
More importantly ( from Google’s viewpoint) getting 44.5 million unemployed ( registered with some 939 employment
exchange around the country ) to visit and
conduct job-searches on Google, can be even much more valuable.
You are aware that Yahoo already offers “ Job-search” to
visitors, by partnering with timesjobs.com
I invite you to overtake Yahoo India, by partnering with
GobalRecruiter.net
Through your own career-website,
www.Googlejobs.in
I have created this website for your exclusive use.
I have no intention to use it myself nor will I allow anyone
else to use it.
You can log into www.Googlejobs.in and experience how it gets powered by the web-service
of GlobalRecruiter.net
After you had an opportunity to go through enclosed folder, I
would like to meet you personally to further discuss my proposal. Please feel
free to phone me
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
Those interested in the details of my proposal , may want to refer to :
All of the above is history !
My only hope is that Google does not
take another 12 YEARS to
implement :
·
I am glad the Labour Ministry has decided to implement my
following suggestion ( earlier sent as emails ) , in order to create such
a FEDERATION of job portals :
· National Career Service Portal (
21 July 2015
)
· Towards a National Job
Portal ? ( 07 Feb 2016 )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s Business Line reports :
“ Labour Ministry has inked strategic Memoranda of Understanding
( MOU ) , with leading job portals , placement organizations and institutions
of repute
The NCS project also involves setting up of 100 Model Career
Centres to deliver quality employment services and these Centres are being set
up in collaboration with States and institutions
Over 3.87 crore ( 38.7 million ) candidates , 14.8 lakh ( 1.48
million ) establishments are registered on NCS ( National Career Service )
Portal….. around 540 job fairs were organized in 2016-17 “
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR SHRI DATTATREYA BANGARUJI :
While congratulating you on your
laudable initiative to create the National
Job Portal , I urge you to implement my following earlier request :
· Quarterly Labour Survey : A Still – Born Child
? ( 22
March 2017 )
· Annual Employment Survey (
26 Oct 2015
)
If you write to Sundar Pichai [ CEO , Google ] , he will not take more than 12 HOURS to respond positively !
