Some 40 years ago, I read Norbert Weiner’s “ Human use
of human Beings”- may be that is inspiration behind WWJ/ JAM why should people
have to “search “for jobs?

I Imagine personal “software agents” of jobseekers,
negotiating “Salary” with Similar agents of employers.
Page no. 8
·
Mobile phones are turning into computers.
·
Jobseekers will most certainly like their job alerts
delivered to them, first thing every morning & orally “order” the device (
cell phone / TV / Newspaper / PDA etc) to send out his resume to the
advertisers.
Page no. 9
·
JAM will be only a tip of a “personal’ work-contract
system. More sub-systems must follow.
·
WWJ becomes an exchange
·
Now happening in India Happened in march 2005.
Page no. 11
·
Beside a cell – phone someday we will deliver JAM on Laptops /
PDA/ Interactive TV / PC etc.
·
Recruitguru.com was a pay-per-use web service we will release it
next year.
Page no. 13
·
A year from now, I expect WWJ / Jam to be delivering
to the employers in USA/UK/Australia / Canada, resumes of millions of Indian
professional every month. While this may accelerate some migration, the real
impact will be outsourcing of work to India. The information work.
Page no. 14
·
Info overloaded is at the root of Jam. Who can
possibility search 16 million jobs or even 16000?

Hopefully, Jam will reach millions of mobile owners around the
world and they would not even know, what processes are rankling JAM
Page no.20
·
Within 3/5 years, mobile phones (with basic features)
will be available for Rs. 500/- & be used by millions of middle class
people in small towns. In matter of job related info, JAM will actually
“bridge” the gap between rural & urban youth.
·
I have for long envisaged hordes of millions of
starving Indians / Africans / Chinese invading the frontline of rich nations ,
for food & shelter. Armies of destitute which cannot be stopped at the
borders.

3 yrs since this book got published, India is riding

Nirmit left for London this morning and there will
be talking to Armstrong Covey for outsourcing to us, candidate Research work.

I hope, within next
5 yrs, mobile phones, will relay such spoken info to WWJ server , in
order for JAM subscriber to “ register/book” his job-preferences. No need to
“Key-In”
Page no. 27
·
“Matchmaker” and totality of JAM – may not be
earthshaking, but Sertouzos would certainly like to hear about our concept. We
will write to him after initial success. Only 11 days later, I learned he is no
more! But he remains a GURU!!
·
“Matchmaker” keeps matching a subscriber’s job
prefrences everyday & send out matching jobalearts on mobile.
·
Will JAM kill job search using PC? I hope so.
·
Dertouzos will appreciate ImageBuilder too !
Page No. 30

It is 3 yrs since this was written but sill no sign
anywhere of speech systems!

We purchased one 4 yrs ago but no one ever-used
Takes more time to EDIT then to type out entire message from keyboard!
Page No. 33
·
Currently, we are “ matching” job advts ( downloaded
form various jobsites) posted during past 24 hours. Technically it is not
different to “match” job-advts posted during last ONE hour given adequate
processing power but I don’t know, if anyone would want job alerts “pushe” to
him every hour!
·
I Gurunet we have decided to introduce Jab ( Job
Advt. broadcasting ) within minutes of a corporate posting his job- advt on any
partner jobsite, a SMS job-alerts will flash on the mobile – screens of “
suitable / matching” candidates thru JAM feature of world-widw-Jobs.com. I hope
this feature will attract many jobsites to join GuruNet. They could leverage
JAB to attract many Coprporate subscribers & Increase their revenue.
·
JAB should enable recruiters to cut down recruitment
cycle to a few days.
·
WWJ too stores each subscriber’s job pref.
Page no. 42
·
See my diagram on 3P’s “ FlightDeck “ which combines
both. This was prepared 2/3 years back.
Page no. 43
·
JAM is a metaphor that lets people “command” WWJ’s
server to deliver jobadvts to them, from servers located thousands to deliver
resumes to corporates in far – off continets
Page No. 44
·
ImageBuilder could
be though of of as a “Virtual” map of a candidates information – with “
Avenues” Such as Function- profile/salary profile/ Tenure Profile/career
profile etc.
·
Based on a person’s
past career-growth, we plan to “predict’ (statistically), what might be his –
salary/ Designation 5 years/10 years from today! That would add the “TIME”
dimension to the Image-Builder!
·
Initially, we plan
to give away ImageBuilders, Free, to HR managers.
Page No. 45
·
In GuruNet, I am planning to attach FUNCTION PROFILE
graphs to candidate’s resumes while forwarding these while forwarding these to
Advertisers, when candidates click “Apply online” against any particular job
advt.
Page No. 49
·
JAM’s premise is the same :- Save TIME / increase
jobseeker’s productivity And in case of Jam, it could be 10 second to read
& click “ SEND” on mobile vs. ½ hours ( 3600/7200 ) to conduct job search
on a job-site or on several jobsites!
·
In area of mobile-recruitment ( Mo-RE), JAM would
raise jobseeker’s productivity by 1000% by 2008 ( next 4 years)
Page no 50
·
This is exactly what
Guruspider-GuruMiner-GuruMatcher-GuruMailer etc. are doing in our office for
last 5/6 weeks on their own-without human intervention.
Page no.51
·
After we “aggregate”, one-year of “Apply online”
clicks, we would be in a position to establish dozens of “co-relations”
patterns, which we will use to “predict”, who/how many will apply against which
job-alerts and when. We will use these “Patterns” to advise to advise employers
whom they should target 7 when and for what jobs. Pinpoint marketing of their
Vacancies.
Page No.52
·
In Gurunet, all partner jobsites would Pull all
forms from our central server & display on partner webpages. Since each
jobsite, already has its own UNIQUE ( but very similar) forms, we will need to
convince them advantaged of informality.
·
In PULL SMS of JAM sequence to be typed is –
Function followed by – Design Level followed by City
·
If all job-sites use same Forms, creating common
database would be very simple.
Page No. 55
·
Over next 2/3 years,
will we succeed in getting HR managers and jobseekers to understand the same (
meaning) when they start talking to one another about – ImageBuilder / Function
profile / salary profile etc? will these, someday, spread beyond India to the
rest of the world ? will we ever dominated e-recruitment “TERMS” because
wide-spread?
Page No. 56
·
A cell phone is a (wireless) appliance which will communicate
with WWJ’s server. Thru SMS.
·
In GuruNet only job-advts posted on partner jobsites
will get broadcast (JAB) as SMS to members of WWJ. After all jobsites make
money from corpo. Subscription for job-posting.
·
If WWJ permits HR mgrs. to directly post on WWJ, 160
character SMS, job advts on jobsites might disappear!
Page No. 57
·
Although Valid in concept, this approach has the
potential of turning all jobsites into enemies! If anything, I want them to
survive / grow as “Friends” that is the idea behind gurunet (VEE). Idea Is to
see to it that jobsites make more money by joining GuruNet.
·
This is exactly what our Guruspider does! And
hopefully JAM would “Jobsearch” & visits to jobsites by jobseekers!
·
As we email each imageBuilder over the web, these
“rating” (percentile) is carried to far corners of Earth.
Page No. 58
·
Incourse of time, we would have millions of
ImageBuilder each carrying its METADATA, such as Age, Edu, Exp, Designation,
Sender, Location, function etc etc.
·
Image Builder can be “Sieved” ( seacrched) based on
percentile score! Automatically, by a search software.
Page No. 61
·
May be someday, along with “Job Prefrence” we would
also get the subscriber to specify his “ Delivery Time “ Preference so that job
alert sms could be delivered at that time.
·
There will be many “times”, when a recruitment
manager wants resumes within half an hour. That is when JAB will prove very
valuable.

Right now we are
facing this problem between the Mktg. and the Technical Depts of TATA
Teleservice as far as trial period SMS
(PULL or PUSH?) This dispute is delaying the launch of JAM.
Page No. 67
·
In GuruNet (VEE) too, all resumes & Job advts
will be in a commom/Central/database, which will “Service” corporates & Jobseekers
visiting any “Partcipating” jobsites.
Page No.68
·
Our “Function profile” works on this method.
Function-wise “common” keywords aggregated from thousands of resumes. Jobsearch
on jobsites demand this.
Page No.71
·
“Guruspider/ GuruMiner /GuruMatch” will process
thousands of Job-advts in order to send you 5, which ( Hopefully) will be of
great interest to you – and do this every day.
·
Two job-advts containing common keywords may not be
of equal interest to a jobseeker.
Page No.72
·
I feel that relevance of job-alerts and Convenience
of being able to “apply” would prompt much more job-application, than under
present arrangement, Do more by doing less.

Read my note on “Electronic Filling System” Prepared
5/6 years back. I have found a solution longtime back!

Early this week,
Google announced free download of their new search-engine, “Google Desktop,”
which will search for desired info on your local harddisk a LAN.

Job Advts posted on thousands of jobsites, contain
similar information.

ISYS can search on “synonym Rings” of designations
(upto 17 ) or of “ Functions”
·
I Suppose our “ Job-Miner” has used a lot of
“synonyms” for a lot of “fiels” found in Job-advts on various jobsites.
Page No.84
·
In area of recruitment, there is a lot of “common /
shared conceptual base.” Definations of salary/Job/ Contract / perks /
temporary/ Leave / Bonus/ Incentive etc. are understood, reasonably same way,
across nations.
·
What is needed
now, is to make JAM/Jat ( job Alert on TV), Image Builder etc. to become
“ universally Shared methods”
Page No. 85
·
We want to make ImageBuilder, the SL ( Semantic
Language ) of recruitment the new currency of recruitment of course Imagebuilder will develop/ grow into superior
versions over next few years.
·
People write their text resumes in a hundred
different ways. ImageBuilder expresses all of these in a uniform way.
Page No.86
·
Today, there is no search-engine that can answer: “
How many job-advts are currently posted on corporate websites? But on each
partner Jobsite of GuruNet, we will show a counter for “No. of Jobs on GuruNet
– likewise for resumes.
·
About a year ago, I wrote a note (to Kartaya?)
saying: we can never get a hundred HR mgrs. to agree on a common format for a
resumes so it is fulfile to attempts BUT – I would not be surprised that, once
we launch ImageBuilder, some 10000HR mgrs. embrace it whole-heartedly and swear
by it. ImageBuilder which we created to serve our “Immediate” purpose.
Page No.87
·
When every
interaction / exchange of info. Between, Jobseeker (ImageBuilder) and Employer
( Job Advt) involves JAM / JAT ( Job Alert on TV) etc. that idea will dominate
e-recruitment everywhere.
·
Underlying common
idea is take job related info to jobseekers thru carious media.
Page No.90
·
JAM is such an attempt. Jobseekers want job info
which is Genuine , Fresh, Relevant to his needs.
·
GuruNet will be such an attempt to create a network
of resources.
·
Besides numerous jobsites, soon we will need to down
load job-advts from corporates websites too.
Page No. 91
·
We belive, sending 5 job-alerts daily to each
jobseeker, is the “right” no./ neither too much, nor too little.
Page No.97
·
I suppose, someday (by 2010?), interviews will be
conducted over Video, with candidate sitting at home infront of his interactive
TV and interviewers sitting in front of their but in 3 different continents,
this is the direction in which RecruitGuru must “lead’ the HR mgrs. & Candidates.
Page No.98
·
Instead of person travelling to where job is job
travelling to where person is More & more, this will be the case in
“info-exchange” type of work.
·
Imagine how much cost ant time can get saved if no
one had to travel out of his home/ office for interviewing / getting
interviewed! Revolution!
Page No.99
·
Millions of “office-meetings” / sales-confrences /
seminars / Lectures / traing 7 tution 7 teaching etc can all happen over video.

Nirmit tells me that with Dillistone’s “FileFinder”
software, our consultants could even work from their homes! Even brances &
granchises can use it. Tomorrow, Nirmit will try to negotiate a better price
with Dillistone in London.
Page No.100
·
E.G. An Interciewer
can email a set of questions to a candidate, who will “Video-record’ his
answers & email the file back to the interviewer – who can see it, at his
leisure. Recruitguru.com can store these questions and answers for independent
viewing.
·
World-Wide-Jobs
& recruitGuru will be such “intermediaries”
·
Compared to email.
sMS needs pressing many more keys! It has to change!
Page No. 102
·
I thjoughts of WWJ/JAM, having realized the internet
website based “ jobsearch overload” on jobseekers. Ofcourse, if JAM comes
wildly successful ot can create a “ Resumes Overload” for HR mgrs.!
·
This is already happening – either eyes are guessed
to PC screen or mobile is glued to ear! Sometime both!
Page No 109
·
If interviewers are located in different cities,
they would certainly like to look at the candidate’s ImageBuilder resume on
their respective PC? At the same time while conductiong remote Video-interview.
Page No.111
·
One of the first uses of such a collaborative
effort, would be several executives (HR mgrs.) located in different cities,
remotely interviewing a candidate, over video-conferencing-with each HR mgrs.
looking at the resumes/Profile of the candidate on his PC and exchanging
“notes/comments” with other HR managers- without candidates knowledge.
·
This is very much the case with “Headhunt /
executive Search’ business a perfect FIT.
·
In remote interviewing a databank of questions ( to
be asked) will appear on the screen of Hr mgrs..
Page No.112
·
When Video-interviewing of candidates across thousands of miles-become a reality, many HR
managers, who , in a normal course, they would not – if, either Hr mgr or candidates, has to physically travel to remote
cities. You wuld be willing to interview “ border line” candidates ( benefit of
doubt)
·
JAM will bring about a lot of “outsourcing” of
IT/ITES wotk to Indian professional work that van be delivered over internet.
Page no 113
·
HR mgrs. may use this to discuss “ problem
situatuions” being faced by them and learn from similar experience of oters.
·
In GuruNet, partner jobsites will “co-create” wealth
by “Co-sharing” for mutual benefit, their database of Resumes & Job Advts.
Page No. 114
·
Earlier, I gave an example where only the participating
HR managers are able to exchange notes/ Comments amongst themselves- without
the candidates knowledge – while video- interviewing a candidates.
Page No 115
·
Fortunately in India , privacy concerns are almost
absent – even amongst educated people. Amongst less educated, there is an “Urge” to share their
personal info. With even total strangers! In this respect, we are a much more
OPEN society!
Page No.117
·
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that this
trend will rapidly accelerate, when
Indian IT professionals, get to Zap their resumes to American HR mgr –
10000km away within hours of the American jobs getting posted on monster by a
single click on their mobiles.

·
Many s/w guys would be able to work from home in
small towns for companies located in big cities. Our Matchmaker will pull-out a
few matching job from deliver to candidates over their mobiles.

I suppose recent spate of TV polls (by sms on

Page no. 121
·
We will work to make
“ImageBuilder”, the new currency of recruitment – even though, only last week ,
I decided to relegate it to the the background – in JAM. We cannot let
Imagebuilder jeopardize the success of JAM. We have to minimize the “risk” to
jam by this temporary” sacrifice! Once JAM achives a critical mass, we will let
ImageBuilder “ride” on its back!
Page No 127

Only 2 months left and I havnt heard of such a

We plan to display “synonyms’ to every keyword
appearing in a resumes similar to Visusal the saurus.com

We plan to aggregate all “apply online’ click of a
JAM subscriber over a period of time – then developed “trends/patterns” of his

Page no. 129
·
Our “Job Preference” form currently has only 4
‘dimension” city and country/ function/ Level/exp. In course of time we should
add Industry/ Skills / Salary / Gender / Age / Languages.
·
Percentile-score of a FUNCTION – PROFILE is a kind
of dimension of a person personality.
Page no 130
·
Jobseekers are going to be looking for job-changes,
every 2/3 years, right form age 22 till Age 55! And we must capture their
“Jobsearch/ career ‘ history for the life.
·
JAM is all
about alerting jobseekers when new jobs ( of their liking) “surface’ on any
jobsites. For jobless millions, instant/ aggregated door-delivered. Job-info.
Has highest economic value.
Page No.131
·
In GuruNet, if corporates receive candidares text
resumes along with function profile graphs, that would certaintly
“differentiate” GuruNet jobsites from
all other jobsites. No other jobsite can offer ( to corpo. Jobadvertises) such
a value add. In a sense, GuruNet, as a 3rd party, independent
agency, rates all resumes before forwarding to employers.
Page No. 136
·
Can GuruNet applications delicered live &
simultaneiously to dozen of jobsites be considered “ Nomadic software?” it can
be “pulled” by web servers of any partner jobsites, for use by corpoates &
Candistaes.
Page No.139
·
JAB will combine WWj
& GuruNet in real time to deliver Job alerts to candidates within a few
minutes of corporates posting their vacancies on GuruNet. Then , thru Jam
corpo. Should getting resumes within ½ hour! This could prove a formidable
combination.

JAM liberates people from being tied to PC & Internet. They
can get job-alerts even when they are on the move.

This is also my idea. Once a fresh graduate
registers on WWJ ( at age 21 may be), we will track his entire “ CAREER
HISTORY” ( till he retires from job-market, may be at age 65. Only he van see
this or a person he authorizes.

WWJ would never know? Who got which job as a result
of jobalerts but may be someday we can track this info. Thru RecruitGuru.com
whose users will be Corporate HR mgrs..
Page No 149
·
For a jobsearch, these “search-criterias”, could be
Salary, locations, Size of prospective employer (turnover) , Function,
Industry, Designation Level etc.
·
Our “Job-Miner” too reduces to a common structure,
all job adcts downloaded from various jobsites. Sometimes back (2yrs) we used
to call this system “Auto-converter”.
·
Video-interviewing will speed-up recruitment.
Page no 150
In recruitment too,
10 candidates will get interviewed ocer video-confrence and then, only 2/3
called for a physical meeting across the table.
Salary Profiles/
function profiles/ tenure Profiles/ designation Profiles etc. will be viewed
online, by an HR Mgr, before concluding whther a given candidates should be
offered a job and if so at what salary at which designation etc.
Page No. 151
·
If we can offer a comprehensive e-recruitment
“expert-system” like this, where a candidate will join the employer company
within 6 days of announcing / publishing a vacancy that would be great!
·
Similar to asking which job-alert must be displayed
first/second/third/fourt etc? what logic should be used?
·
This logic can be developed, based on
“Trend/pattern” of each jobseekers “Apply online” click history. We will know
what he likes!
Page No. 152
·
Someday, we too will deliver to an HR mgr.,
hundreads – arranged in descending order ( or ascending) of the “percentile –
score”, of Function / Salary etv. Now a HR mgr need to look at only the top
10/20 could go up dramatically with such an “ordering Sysytem”.
Page No. 153
·
Someday, we will buy (off the-shelf) some “
Neural-Net” software “shells” and get these to simulate “rating” of resumes –
then compare these rating with the rating performed on same resumes by some
expert HR managers manually.
·
These human-rating will be fed into the
Expert-systems, which will Learn from this external inputs and imporove its own
rating skills. We could even make this (experiment) an online game for
Recruitment Managers thereby tapping into the brain power of thousands wiyhout
having to hire them! Once we manage this no one can beat us!
Page No.154

For many companies, a Senior-level vacancy created
by resignation / death (or sacking) could classify as a “Disaster”! only
retirement can be predicted and can be prepared for.
·
A resignation letter, automatically a “Vacancy”
requisition to the Expert system, which now swing into action, by broadcasting the
vacancy to jobsites & to Recruitguru.com which will generate Alerts to
best-matching candidates in its database as emails as well as SMS on their
mobiles.
