Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

THE E- BUSINESS - (R) EVOLUTION – DANIEL AMOR

 


====================================================================================

When I read any book, I scribble my comments / notes in the margins


These reflect my views / opinions about what the author is saying – including my disagreement

Often, my comments are in the nature of telling myself :

Hey ! We should try out this idea in our own business ( Head-hunting / Online Recruitment )

Following are my comments re :

==================================================================================

 

Page no. 28

·         Some when like Global Recruiter & its Partner websites.

Page no. 35

·         I hope so!

·         Matrimony websites Read Estate websites with WWJ  & GR Initiatives, we may fall under this.

Page no. 41

·         As we say, on Global Recruiter itself, a jobseeker cannot search a job nor does a HR mgr. search a resume! They must visit a partner website.

Page no. 42

·         We are trying to do just this!

·         I hope this applies to monster Naukari as well.

Page no. 43

·         Global Recruiter will be somewhat similar

·         Job Alerts on Mobile are such “digital Goods”

Page no. 46

·         “Job-Preferences” entered by candidates in WWJ, are “read time Demands” the kind of jobs that jobseekers want “right now”

·         I suppose Monster/naukari etc. will feel such a challenge from Global Recruiters pricing model of “pay per click” They will find it impossible to change over to “pay per click model.

Page no. 53

·         We are in the process of developing an exhaustive ADMIN TOOL jobseekers , corporate subscribers ,partner websites

Page no. 56

·         We have adopted “object-oriented Net web service architecture.

Page no. 58

·         Without cyrl (exceed) we could not have launched 3p jobs.com in Nov.97 we had no in house, expertise.

Page no. 99

·         May not be valid in 2006.

Page no. 117

·         MS News

·         Google News

·         Are examples

Page no. 149

·         Amazon`s “Recommendation’ system. We plan do have something similar on Global Recruiter.

·         On WWJ GR, we have kept this in mind.

Page no. 150

·         Our “pay-per-click” pricing model, on GR is designed to change the rules of “online recruitment” websites.

Page no. 151

·         GR is planned to be a “network” of websites where all partners share content (jobs& resumes) with others thru JAS (job Advt summary) we are trying reach jobseekers thru “PRINT-MEDIA” we plan to same with TV as well.

·         We have offered Google to become our “partner website”

·         In GR, we are offering 80% partner websites because Affiliate concept is totally absent I India, Even worldwide, there is no example of “Affiliate” concept as far as jobsites are concerned.

Page no. 161

·         If we succeed in teeing up with Google, there is no doubt Google will give us the APT for “Google sets” and not give it to any other jobsite. If so, Global Recruiter would get tremendous competitive advantage I had our first meeting with Deep malhotra of Google (India) today. He seemed quite impressed with the concept behind Global Recruiter & will brief Ashish Kashyap country manager. From 16th to 20th they have a conference in Mountain View (CA), where he will raise this issue

Page no. 163

·         We are displaying same logo on business-cards/envelopes/Global Recruiter

·         I an extent this is what we are trying to do in WWJ make jobseekers switch over from internet to mobiles.

Page no. 164

·         Global recruiter will not be “free”–but Rs.1/= per click (job view/resume view), it will give a tough competition to Monster/Naukari, who charge anywhere between   

·         Rs.1lakh -3 lakh per year subscription up from too!

Page no. 167

·         We have installed Google`s “web Analytics” software on one of our websites

Page no. 168

·         Rahul

·         Click stream history

·         “Web Analytics” of Google –which we are supposed to have installed on all of our websites, shows such graphs/charts.      

Page no. 171

·         Click stream analysis

Page no. 172

·         Pattern “Likes” – and dislikes

·         Like as soon as a person logs-in, flashing a message: “Hello,

·         Rajiv welcomes Again” job Alerts are “Info.”

·         Our web services are modular

Page no. 173

·         Job search: Archival 

·         Standing Taller

·         Job post: Archival

·         Resume search: Ardival

·         I hope I have understood the needs of jobseekers and corporates, while designing above mentioned features.

Page no. 174

·         By introducing Re:1/= “pay-per- click” tariff in Global Recruiter, I hope to be able to create a “Market upheaval” amongst Indian jobsites, which are, currently charging Rs: 100000/= to Rs. 300000/= fixed lampoon “subscription” year from their corporate clicks. Will that force Monster/Naukri to adapt?

Page no. 176

·         Rahul we too wish to create a Recommendation system, that

·         Recommends certain resumes to a HR mgr based on his own post search criteria

·         Recommends job advts to jobseekers

Page no. 178

·         If we store & analyses, all (each & every) jobs that a jobseeker “Applied online,” we would, within a short period, find clear

·         City/cities

·         Companies

·         Designations etc. etc.

·         Based on such trend we would know, what jobs to recommend to each jobseeker when he returns, we can even, send “job alerts” (email or SMS) based on our trend analysis I have planned to deliver daily JAS to Airlines, who can printout an A-4 page and handover to each boarding passenger (captain`s compliments) depending up on

·         Boarding city.

·         Destination city

·         May be 30% -50% of air travellers are employed executives who should appreciate this service.

 

Page no. 179

·         If every air plane seat has a TV- cum-Internet monitor in front of each passenger, it is very easy to display “Today`s job`s in the flight –even customized for each passenger!

 

Page no.  199

·         Read my today`s note “Headhunters Paradise”

 

Page no. 200

·         Google uses this we plan that each & every partner  website, links to Global Recruiter.

 

Page no. 204

·         “Archive “of past issues

·         Rahul

·         If Global recruiter must differentiate from other jobsites, then, we must add tool, a which allows an employer (job-advertiser) to checkup the ante cedents” of any job seeker

 

Page no. 205

·         Sounds Fantastic!

 

Page no. 206

·         Rahul

·         Someday I hope, we can turn Guru mine info a neural net

 

Page no. 208

·         Our attempt to develop “Resume search- pinpoint” is somewhat like this –may be crude. There are No. “search-criteria” No query. Simply paste a (text) resume and our s/w will return all SIMLAR resumes! If HR mgr is satisfied that

·         The results (recommended), does “match, he will be thrilled & amazed & get hooked to this method! Apparently our s/w “understands” what he is looking for!

·         In our care, Resumes are getting “indexed first, by “Function” & next by percent tile.

·         Visit WWW.visual the saurus.com & Grokker.com also “Google sets”   

·         Read my notes “ARDIS” & “ARGIS”

 

Page no 212

·         I suppose this is a major problem faced by our spider since, each jobsite stores job advts in different “structures” we must reduce/map all the fields to a common SET.

·         Google News Yahoo News MSN News

 

Page no. 213

·         Once we have installed “CLICK STREAM ANALYSIS” software and analyses (for a few months) clicks made by any jobseeker or a HR mgr, we should have developed distinct TRENDS/PATTERNS, to figure out, WHAT documents (job ads/resumes) are like to interest the visitor

·         Idea of an Agent searching for documents on several websites, simultaneously, in real time even as searcher is waiting for appear in his browser. For the moment however I prefer that our “spider” visits one jobsite after another find all job ads & resumes & download these & create a database.

 

Page no. 214

·         Rahul

·         Do visit Infogist.com may be you can experiments with a free demo version

 

Page no. 217

·         Global Recruiter will be a “platform” and will be rarely visited

·         Thru exhaustive clickstream analysis, we intend to do the same

·         We plan to different rote GR from typical/routine jobsite by offering

·         Archival – job search – job posting – resume search -  Bench marking

-          Fune . Profiles etc.  

 

Page no. 218

·         Idea in GR is similar.

·         Neither job-advts nor resumes are “unique.” You can find there on all jobsite. But we plan to offer a different way of “search.” In fact, thru JAM, we plan to kill job search itself! JAM becomes an “alternative to job searching on jobsites.

 

Page no. 219

·         On several occasions, I have considered given away “Gurgling” software for “free” (download) to corporates who subscribe to GR partner website.

·         One alterative, would be to offer free “extraction & function profile developing” for those resumes which corporates “donate” to GR under” Recharge Your prepaid A/C Free.” Not only will they get free credit Points, they will also get back a structured database, along with Func. Profile Graphs!

 

Page no. 221

·         Monster/ Naukari/times jobs etc. will have no problem matching (or even bettering) our features of Archival searches (jobs/resumes) & Archival job-posting. They will face some problems copying

·         JAM/JAB

·         Function Graphs

·         Bench marketing etc.

·         But their biggest problem will be to match us on “Pay per click.” IF they try, it will ruin them! They should face No difficulty in click stream analysis to introduce a “Recommendation system” or a “No of times this document was views by others”

Page no. 222

·         of times this document was views by others”

Page no. 225

·         It may take GR 2/3 years before we start making serious money & 5/6 years to recover our investment

Page no. 226

·         Read my today`s note “PROCESSES”- which need to become fully automated –requiring no human intervention

·         Read my note, “click-stream Analysis” sent 2/3 days back

Page no. 232

·         This means we must ensure that “Employer services” get more H/W- S/W resources and higher priority as compared to “jobseeker services”

·         If corpo. Subscribers upload 10000 resumes for extraction, may be, we could run this process offline. See my to day`s

·         Note: A million Resumes? Where, I have suggested free downloading of entire Guru Search software

Page no. 235

·         Somewhere on GR, we must mention that we will add 10.2% service tax, when we send our monthly invoice to partner websites I suppose this will be on our revenue share of 20% of Re1/= that partner will charge a corporate subscriber.

·         I suppose, a partner website will need to change 10.2% on full amount of Rs.1/=.

Page no. 246

·         May not be any more this was written 5 yrs. ago But we have similar idea in giving away “Guru Search (search Engine) free. But I will, tomorrow “redraft “the web-pages for “Needle in the Haystack. ‘ No need to make download conditional to uploading of certain no. of resumes. Let corpo. Download Guru Search unconditionally. What can they do without a structured resume database, created thru Guru Mine?

Page no. 247

·         I hope GR will pose a threat to Monster/ Naukari.

Page no. 249

·         Should not we, actually encourage free “copying/duplicating” of Guru Search?-of course, after free downloading! Our aim is to get more & more corporates to start using which they will/they can do only after extracting their resumes thru Guru Mine!

Page no. 252

·         Why should we restrict to Global Recruiter`s registered subscribers, the facility to 1. Upload & convert their text resumes 2. Free download of Guru Search?

·         Why not extend this facility to absolutely “anyone”/even non-subscribers?

·         Only difference shall be if donor happens to be a registered he also gets credit points.

·         Suppose, we also give away Guru Mine free-to anybody BUT without feature of Funct. Profile Graphs, Generation.

·         We also give Guru search- free. Corporates may still find such truncated/version quite useful, since it will create a structured/searchable database.

·         Those corporates who what “Graphs, will need to upload resumes on Global Recruiter website.

·         We can even make it so that downloaded Guru Mine stops working after 6 months thereafter, resumes will need to be uploaded on GR for extraction. This could be a good way to “hook”

Page no. 253

·         But what if a person downloads again & again?

Page no. 254

·         Mass Customization

·         Our proposed “Benchmark Resume” is a kind of configurator.

Page no. 307

·         Today`s newspaper reports that a no. of companies (handset mfr + Mine service) come have come together introduce IM on mobile phones.

Page no. 309

·         Nirmit is using Blackberry for last 6 months or so.

Page no. 343

·         I believe, for human-resource applications, they have come out with “hrxml”

Page no. 523

·         I have something like this in mind, while giving away Guru Mine & Guru Search. We may allow Guru Search to be used for ever but as for as Guru Mine is may restrict 1. Usage for 6 months 2. No generation of Function profile Graphs.

Page no. 527

·         Google launched such a project 8/12 months ago.

·         But they have run into copyright issues & lots of lawsuits.

Page no. 552

·         I believe “WINDOWS LIVE” has this feature.

Page no.569

·         Thru Global recruiter network (of partner websites), our goal is to get 500,000 small/medium businesses/enterprises, to start using “online” recruitment web service – something they have never used before.

Page no. 574

·         Cheaper Better Faster.

Page no. 575

·         May not happen. You may end –up getting “worst” of everything instead of “best”!

Page no. 580

·         We will have many – partner websites – Newspapers – mobile service providers – TV channels in our network.

·         Job Aduts & Resumes are fully digital. Job search & resumes search are “services” being delivered over Net

·         We are asking for only 20% share

Page no. 581

·         We have decided to change Re:1/= per click/view of job advts & resume/both paid for by corpo. Subscribers, on a “prepaid”

·         I have to overtake Monster/Naukri.

·         This is our advantage

·         This is going to be the BIGGEST headache for monster/naukri, once we launch Global Recruiter.

Page no. 582

·         By giving away Guru Mine & Guru Search free, I hope to create a demand for “Image Builder” version of resumes. Such demand will come from HR mgrs.-who will gradually insist that all jobseekers send only Image Builder in plain text resumes. This will force jobseekers on Global Recruiter.

Page no.585

·         Eg: when a HR mgr posts a job-advt on Global Recruiter and activates “vacancy Blast “service, GR will email that job-advt to Executive search firms, preselected by the HR mgr. what such “vacancy Notification” arrives in the mail box of the search Firm it will trigger Guru search which will match/shortlist suitable resumes automatically and email to the job-advertiser

Page no. 586

·         Our value chain will comprise

-          Jobsites/portals/ISPS/ search Engines

-          Mobile service providers

·         -TV channels (DTH/IPTV/cable)

·         -Newspapers/cybercafés.

Page no. 587

·         Read “Human use of Being” by Norbert Weiner (father of cybernetics)

·         Right now, Google/yahoo& MSN are “censored” in china as to what info they can show to the Chinese

·         We will someday deliver JAM to simple landline phone instrument thru voice!
