Dear ( Colleague ) :
Some 2 / 3 years back, I have already penned some
thoughts on this subject - even prepared a U / I for a web page
But , during these 2 / 3 years , many things have
changed , eg :
* Web has expanded many fold
* Google has launched " Google Search
Appliance ( GSA ) "
* We launched... www.IndiaRecruiter.net... and made available ( for free download from Cnet.com /
Download.com etc ), " RESUME RATER " tool of which , more than
13,000 copies have got downloaded from various web sites.
* We launched ..www.CustomizeResume.com... on 14 Nov 2009 , which incorporates the RESUME RATER and arranges
the resumes in the descending order of the Raw Score . It also develops
Personal Analytics Graphs of resume-owner.
* We are in the process of cleaning-up ISYS
database to ensure that it contains , nothing but " resumes "
* By subscribing to FileFactory.com , we enabled
visitors ( of IndiaRecruiter.net ) , to download over 3 lakh text resumes ( in
batches of 1000 at a time )
* We have already uploaded approx 2.5 lakh
text resumes on CustomizeResume.com , which are freely downloadable
* 3P are using " InBox Reader "
developed by Vikram , 3 years ago
* We have downloaded a software , some 2 weeks
back , which converts all kinds of ( resume ) documents into PDF format
* Alex has developed a software which detaches
all attachments from incoming emails ( which are mostly resumes )
* We have processed 14 PST files to separate out
unsolicited resumes received at " Contact@3pjobs.com " , during last 10 years
Lastly ,
* We have thought of developing a ( freely
downloadable ) S/W TOOL ,
" EXCHANGER ",
which will,
# Read all incoming emails
# Separate " Resume containing "
emails
# Detach resumes
# Clean-up
# Convert to PDF
# " Rate " the resumes ( using
RESUME RATER , developed by us earlier ) and
assign Raw Score / Function
Category ( Sales / Mktg / Production / Finance etc )
# Arrange the resumes in descending order
of Raw Score / Percentile Score
# Index all keywords ( after removing all
junk words )
# Make all these text resumes "
SEARCHABLE " on chosen keywords, in a manner
similar to ISYS
( this to be done by plugging
in Google Search Appliance API )
# Incorporate " RESUME PARSER
" which we incorporated in our earlier
portal ....www.RecruitGuru.com ...for converting a
text resume into a database
# Incorporate following tools which we
have already developed :
* " GuruSish
" ( Resume Search-in-Search-Results ) , and
" "
GuruCast " ( Broadcasting resumes )
# Make U / I , somewhat similar to "
LONG TAIL RESUME " interface as per my yesterday's note
We may , at first , develop such a tool and use it
OFFLINE , using ISYS database to establish that ,
* It works better / faster than ISYS
* It is more user-friendly
If it does , then the next question is :
Can we develop it ( using Google Search Appliance API
& in ASP 3.5 ) and make it freely downloadable for anyone ?
If possible , can we use it to " disrupt "
the current online / offline Recruitment Industry ?
In itself , " disrupting an industry "
cannot be a worthy goal !
What good is an " Innovation " , (
whether disruptive or otherwise ) , unless it benefits the entire society
?
If such a tool has to benefit the " Entire
Society " , ( - even at the cost of one industry , viz: Online Recruitment
) , then such a tool , must facilitate ,
" JOBS FOR ALL =
PEACE ON EARTH "
This has to be the " Super-ordinate Goal "
behind the development of such a tool
A somewhat subordinate goal can be ( to copy Google's
terminology ) ,
" Organize Resumes & Job-related Info
of the World "
- which ( info ) is a tiny fraction of , "
All the information of the World "
And this is how I propose we will do :
# From this portal , allow users to freely
download a tool ( " EXCHANGER " ) - but after due ' registration '
and clicking of " Activation " link . We want to capture all future
activities of each user
# The tool will lock-in ( integration ? )
with the MAIL BOX of each user
This will ensure that each & every text resume (
resume attachments arriving into that user's mail-box , irrespective of email
ID ), gets CAPTURED & PROCESSED , by the tool
The user cannot selectively "
process " only some resumes arriving into his mailbox . He will have no
control over the processes of the tool
# The tool will need to be "
activated " every morning , by linking up with,
# The activation will consist of ,
* an UPLOAD button (
The DONATION button )
-
clicking on which will automatically " upload " onto our server
database , all the text resumes processed by the tool since the previous
instance
This action will force the user
to " donate " ( to the Central Database ) , all the incoming resumes
into his mail-box . This is the " price " he pays
Of course , we
must make an " enabling " provision in the tool , whereby the user
can ,
" Add
/ Process / Upload ",
thousands of resumes received by him over the
years and lying on his hard-disk ; that is resumes received before the
installation of the tool .
If we take all Recruiting Agencies & Employers ,
this figure would run into MILLIONS - thousand times bigger than Monster +
Naukri !
* a SYNCHRONIZE button
This can be
clicked ONLY AFTER clicking on the UPLOAD button
When the user
clicks on this button , he downloads our ENTIRE ONLINE RESUMES ( current )
DATABASE , onto his hard-disk which becomes a part and parcel of his
OFFLINE EXCHANGER TOOL
And now , with the in-built " Resume Search
Engine " , he can search the database
on a large number of " Search Parameters " ,
since the RESUME PARSER would have converted those text resumes into a
SEARCHABLE database
Will Naukri / Monster / TimesJobs allow you to
download their Search Engine ?
If they did , no one would need to visit them /
subscribe to them !
With this click ,
> our ONLINE database ( on our web server ) -
which is growing every minute - and
> his OFFLINE database in the tool ,
stand " Synchronized "
This will impose a huge load on our server ! We
should enable download of " Incremental " resumes of last 24 hours
And this will happen , even if no resumes got uploaded
when he clicked on the UPLOAD button !
{ Shall we modify this to say , " No
download when there is no upload " ? }
In fact , during the very FIRST operation of the
SYNCHRONIZE button , user will get to download , some 3 / 4 lakh text resumes
from our server !
It is entirely possible that after the first download
of 3 / 4 lakh resumes , the user stops using " EXCHANGER " tool ( -
and even switch back to ISYS ? )
It is possible that after 3 / 4 weeks , he registers
once again , under a different name and repeats the mischief !
We will need to find a way to prevent this from
happening
Eg : Our S/W finding if there was any previous
installation on that hard-disk ?
Our USP ( Unique Selling Proposition ) is :
" With hundreds / thousands of users ,
daily uploading lakhs / millions of resumes , our Online Database is growing
phenomenally - bigger than Monster / Naukri , within a few days !
And you get to DAILY download this hugely growing
database , by donating / contributing , a few dozen / hundred resumes !
No fees of any kind !
In this arrangement , every user is contributing a
small number of resumes but every user is getting , in return , a huge number
of resumes - FREE OF COST !
After a while , you will have no need to subscribe to
Naukri / Monster / TimesJobs and pay a huge monthly / annual fee running into
lakhs of rupees
In fact , within a few months , your own OFFLINE
resume database , will far exceed the ONLINE resume database of any job portal
in the entire World !
If you think , what resume database you currently have
on your hard-disk is UNIQUE and that no one else has got those resumes, then
you are sadly mistaken !
Every single resume on your hard - disk is also on the
hard-disks of 100 other Recruiters / Corporate and on 5 / 10 job portals !
You are exchanging these BRICKS for GOLD !
ResumesExchange is designed to distribute every
resume to the farthest corner of the Earth ! "
ADDITIONAL POINTS :
* Tool stops working after 24 hours ,
unless UPLOAD and SYNCHRONIZE buttons get clicked again
* We must assume that there will be
thousands of small companies who do NOT need to / care to ,
install " EXCHANGER
" tool , because ,
> they hardly
receive any text resumes through email
> they do not
subscribe to any job portal
> they employ 1 / 2
persons every year
For such users , we will allow to
conduct online " resume search " on
but ,
* they cannot download any resumes
, although they can send messages to those candidates thru ,
" CONTACT ME
" button
And we will let them do this without "
Registering / Subscribing / Login "
This will ensure traffic to our web site and
create buzz
And if U / I , ( for " Resume Search " ) ,
is such that every resume becomes accessible to search-engine spiders to index
, we ( our web site ) , will get a high rank in search results , when anybody
types " Resumes " , in search bar
* Registered users ( those who have downloaded
& installed the tool ) , may not use this feature because, for them , there
is no particular advantage to search online
* By preventing download of resumes from
the site itself , we will ensure that the SAME resumes do not get uploaded
after 24 hours !
We want to avoid CLOSED LOOP situation - which is very
dangerous and could overload / crash the site
* Each registered user will be assigned a UNIQUE
ID . Each resume that gets uploaded from this user , will carry that UNIQUE Id
- so that we know which / how many resumes came from where
* Allowing casual / online visitors to search
resumes and send CONTACT ME messages will also serve as ,
LIVE DEMO / FREE TRIAL
to explain the concept of EXCHANGER
* I suggest we allow a new user to
download our entire online database of resumes along with the downloading of
EXCHANGER tool
We will go one step further and place a prominent
message ( next to " DOWNLOAD " button ), which reads :
" Dear Visitor :
When you click on the DOWNLOAD button , along with the
EXCHANGER tool , you will be downloading , our entire current database
of.............. resumes - absolutely FREE "
I think , this will be a powerful incentive to join
* With each jobseeker sending his resume to 100
recruiters and 200 employers, without doubt , we will get hundreds of resumes -
may be millions ! , which are DUPLICATE
This is inevitable - almost certain, for each and
every resume that gets uploaded / donated
Should we try to remove the duplicates ?
I don't think we should ; for the following reasons :
> We want to keep count of " No of
Resumes donated / contributed " by EACH USER of EXCHANGER tool ( daily and
cumulative ) - in ADMIN tool
> We want to make our Online Database look
big / huge , eg:
No of Resumes ( Total
)...................
No of Resumes Contributed today..................
* In " Our Subscribers " list ,
against each registered user's name , we want to show dynamically , the "
No of Resumes Contributed "
We may even consider listing of the
Subscriber-Names in the descending order of the " No of Resumes
Contributed "
This is our method of " recognizing " the
most generous subscribers . Not only will this be a big ego-booster but also
act as a motivator to others
* Not only on our starting database of 3 / 4 lakh
resumes but on each subsequent resume contributed by any user , we must stamp :
( - like what HOTMAIL did when they enabled free use
of their email service )
* After getting uploaded , each and every resume
gets downloaded
Can we place , " CONTACT ME
" button / software on each ? - so that , even after downloading , every
user can use it to send messages to candidates ?
This can pose an enormous load on our server . But on
other hand,we can capture ,
> WHO is contacting WHOM ?
> WHICH candidate is getting most
messages ?
- even if we don't care about the content of the
message
* Every morning , when a user clicks on
SYNCHRONIZE button , his entire resume database residing in the EXCHANGER tool
, will get totally replaced by the new online database getting downloaded
This is because , he will be downloading may be
80 % - 90% of the resumes , again and again , everyday !
{ I don't think this will work due to huge upload /
download . We will have to make this " incremental "
for last 24 hours }
