Other jobsites, cannot/do not

Delivery of alerts-on mobile

As of last month, there are
41 million mobile phone owners in India & their population is growing at
1.6 million (of Couse, all may not be jobseekers)

3p`s nearly 50 ads in first
7/8 years were drafted by me.

No jobsite can offer you
Image Builder`s FUNCTION-PROFILE.
·
How can you ever find that
right job from 16 million jobs posted on 40,000 jobsites? We “aggregate” all
jobs but deliver to you only relevant.

In a few of my emails, I have
hinted…”All of your friends are smiling because they have registered on WWJ”
(Endorsement from friends)

Did jobseekers “expect”
job-alerts to be delivered on their mobiles? Did they “expect” that they should
be able to “Apply online” from mobile? Do they “expect” to receive feedback
from HR managers? They have gotten used to “No REPLY”!
·
“FUNCTION PROFILE” is a
“diagnostic.”
·
Does percentile score of a
Function profile “predict” whether a candidate can expect an Interview-call?
Think so.
Page no. 17
·
“Image Builder” is a label
for the extracted version of resume.

We are saying, we are not a
jobsite

Someday, we must patent various
“profiles” of Image Builder.

There is item of news re:

India. (23-09-04).

In last 2 months, every
mobile (-and even fixed land line services of BSNL/MTNL) company has dropped
prices in a totally confusing way. Now TRAI is developing software to “compare”
different “PLANS’!

They all went out of
business.

In a manner, WWJ is a
“superstore”- of job-advs., by aggregating advs. From numerous jobsites. This
make is “one-stop-shop”/everything under one roof. But with one important
difference. In WWJ`s superstore, all the shelves get emptied every night and
get filled up [with brand new merchandize!

Americans are the people in greatest hurry
on earth. So, after consolidating in India, WWJ/JAM must focus on USA> they
are most likely to appreciate JAM.
Page no. 62
·
I believe, now they have made
profit (maybe in 2004).
Page no. 63
·
WWJ is launched on this very
premise. From a daily/fresh massive aggregation of jobs, mass-customize and
deliver to each subscriber, only most relevant job-alerts, according to his
preferences.
·
We hope we have found an answer.
Page no. 70
·
Our home page animation,
itself demonstrates how we are different but we should offer a few days of
“FREE” trial, on mobile phones to convince potential users. This would need
prior agreement with service providers.
·
We have invented JAM
Page no. 71
·
Today we just released second
promotional email to 2.1 million, potential users. Thereafter one email will
follow every week. For next 20/25 weeks. (24-09-04).
Page no. 72
·
Without being challenged and
highly self-motivated, I don’t think Abhi & Deeps, could have brought JAM
from a mere “concept” to a virtual “creation” within past 6 months. Just two of
them!
·
We are depending upon the
mobile service providers to come up with such money.
Page no. 73
·
Once there is some semblance
of success, we will approach the VC`s for money to ramp up our operations to
cover, India/USA/rest of English-speaking world.
Page no. 87
·
Perhaps being first to tie-up
with us, to deliver JAM, will also translate into “substantial market share
advantage” for TATA.
Page no. 88
·
Problem of getting users to
“change” from a comfortable position of “status Quo.”
Page no. 90
·
We would need to modify JAM for
the U.S. market; only local mobile service providers can guide us what
modifications to uncle take.
·
Users will expect 24x365 services
from. JAM No crashes will be tolerated.
·
We will need to keep adding
new features, all the time.
Page no. 91
·
Self-employed aren`t looking
for job! So they aren`t going to fall for JA-same with retired people.
Page no. 93
·
Even if a CEO/MD get a dream-
job, thru JAM`s service, he is not going to come forward to “endorse” it!
Page no. 96
·
If we become a huge success in
India, we can expect many WWJ/JAM`s coming-up in different parts of
world-starting with USA.
Page no. 97
·
Since “Function profiles” are
developed from “skills” these profiles are “ATTRIBUTES” of a jobseeker.
·
What are “unique” attributes
of JAM?
Ø Aggregation
Ø Relevance
Ø Delivery system
Ø Apply online
Ø “Freshness” of job alerts
Ø Feedback (less than 24 hours old jobs only)
Page no. 99
·
Out of 6 listed earlier, the
most powerful 2 “attributes” are:
Ø Delivery on mobile.
Ø Apply online from mobile.

Someday soon, we should be able
to claim “jobs from everywhere.”
Page no. 106

We do this indirectly
(without naming names)
·
: Job search is history
·
: No resume search on
WWJ/your piracy guaranteed
·
: Job sites Do Not Remember
Page no. 107

In matter of job search, JAM
is about as simple as you can ever get. We should focus on this.

Our testing with TATA
executives started this morning. Some 21jobalerts got sent to mobiles of 8
executive. 3 of them had clicked “Apply online” by the afternoon. I suppose,
remaining executives to should get some job alerts in next 2 days
(Sunday+Monday-Ganesh Chaturthi holiday). We should get some feedback by
Tuesday. (Saturday)- Sept. 25, 2004

JAM has 5/6 “benefits” (see
pg. 97) for the jobseekers & as of now, we are the only one “specializing”
in each of these benefits. All that I can do is to emphasize ONE of
these, in each of my promotional email.
Page no. 135
·
Quite possibly, JAM can work
equally well with
·
-Dating service – Matrimony
service or similar “Info search/Aggregate/Exchange” but we will keep out of
that.
Page no. 145
·
Of course, we would need Punta
malhotra (Human capital) and lima sehga (job net) to write about WWJ/JAM
Page no. 147
·
None of these-or
similar-celebrities are “jobseekers”-so there endorsement would work
“negative”!

“Function profiles” of Image
Builder own their existence to Guru main software which we invented. At some
later point in time I will dwell upon this in my promotional emails.
·
I think we must patent this.
Image Builder sounds impressive. So does Guru Main (AI)
·
Our “function profiles” are
absolutely magic-since these emerge on the web site, wit in 10 seconds!
Page no. 152
·
Quite a few of promotional
emails are centered on the magic of “Image Builder.”
Page no. 153
·
Soon others will follow with
their own copy-cat versions of Function profiles. The only way to stay ahead of
them is to introduce “salary profile”/Tenure profile/career profile etc. in
rapid succession. Idea is to raise the “Entry Barrier.” No jobseeker should
turn to a copy-cat service.
Page no. 154
·
My goal is to make
Recruitment Managers, an integral part of WWJ/JAM-by making them click on
“feedback” from on each/every Image Builder received by them. I am convinced
that 100% feedback (from current 0%) can make Image Builder THE INDUSTRY
STANDARD.
·
To some extent Guru Mine does
reduce “Resume from filling” time by extracting values & constructing a
structured database.
Page no. 161
·
When we introduce “salary
profile”/Tenure profile/career profile/etc. etc. it need not be at the
“expense” of any existing features by adding one more “facet” of a jobseeker`s
resumes by adding one more dimension. Like the hidden side of moon! A
good title for a promotional email
Page no. 162
·
Each of our “profiles” will compare
& contrast an executive with the rest of the“coprofessionals
will show where exactly he stands in relation to his “peers,” in respect of
different “attributes.”
Page no. 166
·
If “function profile,” gets
accepted (by Recruiters especially) as “New
Generation,” then each further profile (salary-tenure-career) etc. will
find it easier to get accepted. In fact, as a pioneer, we would be EXPECTED to
introduce these!
Page no.169
·
For launching WWJ/JAM, we had
to start recruit Guru as a separate company. There was a fundamental clash with
the business-model and the Revenue-model of 3p. the two just could not co-exist
under same BRAND.
·
WWJ/JAM does not; in anyway,
REPLACE the business-model of Executive search firms or placement Agencies- which
will continue to flourish. (26-09-04).

For beating monster/jobs ahead
combination, we need 5000+ registration DAILY.
Page no.173

Are some “white lies in order
to create “self-fulfilling “prophesy? – Especially if your competitors cannot
check your numbers. Of course in our next promotional email, we have truthfully
talked of 2300 registrations so far.
Page no. 175

Which “Experts” can we rope
in? Office-bearers of National HRD forum? NIPM? Institute of management? Dr. Kaul?
Bankrupt misra Chandrasekhar-(ex ECC)? HR head of BIG companies?

I have already compiled an
email database of some 40/50 business-journalists. But I can write to them only
after signing-up with TATA.
·
Final list made up 130 and is
given to PR dept. of Airtel-for release of a PRESS-RELEASE. (24-12-04).
Page no. 177
·
But then WWJ/JAM is founded
on/owes its existence to the human desire for
Ø More “money” (salary)
Ø Bigger “role” (designation)
Ø Larger “span-of control”
(size of Employer)
·
And then for the unemployed/Freshets,
it is the need for a job/any job.
Page no.180
·
Jobseekers will identify
themselves with WWJ whereas, Recruitment Mgrs.
·
Will latch on to
RecruitGuru.com
·
We will avoid overlap, as
possible. But data will be shared by both, seamlessly.
Page no. 187
·
We too. Must repeatedly claim
that, we deliver jobs on the mobiles of subscribers, within 24 hours
(OVERNIGHT?) of their getting pasted on any major jobsite of the world. No one
can make such a claim and that is our BIG differentiator!
Page no. 188
·
Could our ultimate
“differentiating” idea be
Ø Recruitment managers just don’t want to look at anything other than
an Image Builder.
·
(-whatever their reasons!)
Page no. 189
·
In contrast to3pjobs.com, WWJ
does not carry any “historical baggage.” WWJ has no ego problem in Speeding/
aggregating job advs. from other jobsites. WWJ has nothing to lose but
everything to gain. Monster/Naukri will find it very difficult to follow WWJ act
because they are current leaders.
Page no. 195
·
I presume WWJ/JAM should
appeal to jobseekers “who are in a hurry/have very little time,” in all parts
of the Earth. They want jobs (or better jobs) but have same problem via: No
dozens of jobsites, day-after day.
Page no. 196
·
We demand many “data” (from
jobseekers) in Image Builder, which would be illegal in USA!
·
Hence we will need local
adaptation.
·
I have no doubt this will
happen to JAM.
Page no. 197
·
Don`t we say the same?
Whether a resume belongs to a person with 5 years of experience (YOUNG) or a
person with 25 years of experience (OLD), we mother both, into a thing of beauty
called Image Builder.
·
I hope we can cover whole of
India in 4 months.
Page no.198
·
Our brand JAM, describes the
“process” (via: Delivery of job Alert on a mobile).If this process remains the
SAME, in all parts of the world, our brand JAM, has to remain the same.
Page no. 199
·
I have no doubt that if you
ask 10 recruitment managers, as to what an “IDEAL” resume should contain; you
would get 10 different replies! But, we must still be ready to have different
versions of Image Builder for different regions.

When I studied at uni Of
Kansas (1956/57), there were sears (at that time known as “sears roebuck”)&

Today`s newspaper has an
article which says, same DELL, could not succeed in china with same “direct

With just 2 employees (Abhi& Deeps)
in the company, this is no problem for me!
