Riding Piggyback

20 Feb 1994

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

I have, elsewhere mentioned about taking-up “ Direct Mailing “ activity as a business diversification

The more I think about it, the more it appears to have a synergy with our existing business of Executive search

There are following similarities in both these businesses :

Ø Building up databases of names / addresses from any number of sources

Ø Sending out MAILERS

Ø Receiving “ response “ – then Categorizing , Coding, Computerizing

Ø Offering databases for clients to “ search and select “ , one or more persons who meet their needs

Executives belong to the “ affluent “ class and are potential buyer of goods and services . With liberalization of economy, they are going to be in greater demand and will get progressively better paid. This class will get more & more affluent and will have increasing purchasing power

Therefore,

This will be a “ sought after “ class by all manufacturers of goods / provider of services

Service Sector itself will grow in a big way.

This comprises,

Ø Hotel / Housing

Ø Tourism

Ø Hospitals / Health

Ø Financial Services ( incl. leasing / hire purchase )

Ø Banking / Mutual Funds

Ø Courier

Ø Cable Network ( for TV )

Ø Telephone / Fax networks ( E Mail / Voice Mail )

Ø Software

Ø Transport

Ø TV ( Star – Zee – MTV etc )

Ø Education / Publishing Idustry

Ø Insurance ……….etc

The list is huge

All the companies engaged in the Service Sector, want to increase their client-base. Obviously, each of these businesses is trying to :

Ø Build-up its own database of clients ( existing / potential )

Ø Reach out to these clients to offer their services

Both are “ continuous “ processes and market-driven

Continuously new clients have to be “ discovered “ and “ new “ services must be offered

Hence “ mailing lists “ must grow all the time and mailers be sent out all the time

Many types of client-profile must be compiled ( continuously ). Eg :

Ø Geographical

Ø Racial

Ø Social

Ø Educational

Ø Age / Sex

Ø Purchasing power

Ø Travel habits / Purchase habits

Each manufacturer / servicer, is interested in one or more profiles who could be his potential clients

We could start by offering to carry out mailing of literature / pamphlets / publicity materials, for a few select companies

Of course, we should carefully decide “ which “ companies would be interested in our database – and why . How does it stand to benefit ?

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

23 Feb 1994

Only yesterday there was an advt from a company which said, it printed and dispatched , all within one week, 5.8 lakh Annual Reports !

Tata Press perhaps send out 30 lakh in a month !

L&T has 16 lakh share-holders and Reliance has over 28 lakhs

Obviously such “ mailing activity “ has to be organized as a FACTORY with,

Ø Storage ( of materials to be mailed )

Ø Machinery to place / insert the material into envelopes / packets, seal the envelope , attach pre-printed labels, frank postage stamp, stack in bundles ( city-wise )

City-wise bundling would make it easier for Post Offices to accept such bulk posting

If volumes / weighs – as in case of annual reports – are too large, services of couriers / transport contractors must be hired

A local city-agent ( a newspaper distributor ? ) would undertake door-to-door delivery in each city / town

If large quantity of one/two page newsletters are to be dispatched , an automatic “ paper-folding machine “ ( magazine for holding mailers ), would be required. I am sure such machines are available

The entire process should be computerized / conveyorised / automatic to the maximum extent possible so that minimum number of operators are required

Nitin

This is cutting it too fine but it is OK with me

As far as development of Mobile-friendly version of B2B is concerned , I have earlier requested that you send to me , a fortnightly " Progress Report "

It is .therefore necessary that you break-down the total development effort into 10 / 12 " Stages / Bench Marks " , at intervals of 15 days

These " Benchmarks " must explicitly state , completion of coding / testing of some certain feature of B2B

Then , your fortnightly report , will state whether that Benchmark was " reached " ( or not ) , on that particular DATE

Since you have prepared such " TARGET SCHEDULES " in the past , this should not be difficult

It will , also help you to keep track of the progress internally , so that we don't come across unpleasant surprises , later on

If desired , I don't mind visiting your office , once a month , for an " across - the - table ' review

I look forward to receiving this SCHEDULE / BENCHMARKS , by next week-end

Pl confirm

Subject: URGENT MATTER

Shuklendu / Nitin

Pl take a look at the attachment

These emails were compiled by Sanjivani over the last 2 weeks

Some may be totally NEW , whereas most may be already existing in our online database but need EDITING

Unfortunately , Sanjivani cannot carry out these changes on her own , in absence of EDIT feature which , I have been repeatedly requesting for past few months

Just sending you this EDITS database to upload the changes from the backend , on your own , will be very time-consuming for Satish

I once again request you to implement this ( in ADMIN ) , before this weekend

Unless we keep updating this database ( of Ministers / Secretaries / MPs / MLA s etc ) , on a daily basis from our end , we will find that most of the messages getting blasted to this group , will keep bouncing !

As requested , there must be provision in the EDIT feature , to also add , a NEW catrgory

In the meantime , I hope , the conversion to Mobile Friendly web site is making steady progress

I would highly appreciate receiving a fortnightly PROGRESS REPORT on this from Nitin

If not mistaken , his last update was in regard of uploading of “ Who is Investing in India ? “ page on 15^th AUGUST

It would help to know the progress made during past 2-1/2 months

Since internet at my residence is down for past 5 days , you may phone me re the progress

28th Feb 2010

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 :

# Launch.........www.ResumesExchange.com...

# 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,

www.ResumesExchange.com

# 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

..www.ResumesExchange.com ,

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 :

Courtesy : www.ResumesExchange.com

( - 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 }
