In Global Recruiter Network,
resumes & job advt. which get posted on any partner website, get pooled
into a common . central database, accessible from any partner website. This
content itself gets generated by the “users” viz: jobseekers & HR Mgrs.

I plan to rope In professional
colleges to contribute “ Interview Questions ( They are already experts at
preparing “Examination / Test “ papers.

We have nearly 18000 colleague,
producing approx. 4.5 million graduates each year.
·
This could happen with the
launch if IndiaRecruiter. Monster/ Naukari/timesjobs may decide to follow our
example of sourcing content from Google, Wikipedia/ www in general.

Problems of “small customers”
are, How can I pay Rs. 30000/- Subscription for 3 months to Monster / Naukri,
when I want to fill just ONE vacancy / year ?
·
Whereas Profile & IIT
draw upon some clever software, our real challenge to Monster / Naukri/
timesjob will come in the form of our different “ Business model” viz: pay per
click & partnering with several website to create a Network.
Page no xxxi
·
Should we license “Profile”
s/w to Monster / Naukri/ Timesjob if they want it? Why not ? we could get a steady
stream of royalty.
Page No. 4
·
There could be lesson for us
here! No existing jobsite would want to partner with us, if its own “ Business
Model” is threatened! Or, if it has to
become a complete CLONE of Indiarecruiter. We must find a way which would
permit them to use our technology without making drastic changes.
·
Total New-comers ( who have
no website of their own, as yet will be happy to join.

Profile / IIT / IIM, will no doubt undergo
many “avatars” with commercial cheap availability of Broadbond, DTh, IPTV,
Iphone, WI- Max, Tivo, Voice recognition, paper thin fildable PC screens.

For Global recruiter to pursued
NEW firms get to online recruitment, may not to be east. As against this,
existing jobsite ( nearly 500+) are already into Onlie Recruitment business. They
could be much more amenable to “License” our technology if that would help them
make more money. They are already into this. Business so we don’t need to
“SELL” them the “business” – only the benefits of Technology.
·
We too are combining google
& Wikipedia into our offering and I am constantly looking out to plug in,
some more sources of “content” to enrich India Recruiter experience.
·
May be those recruitment,
agencies, which do not have an “Online” presence would likely join –us Global Recruiter Network.

For IndiaRecruiter, (Online
Recruitment) market is very well defined (with 500 & existing jobsites).
Largely, I think, it is a question of being able to convince the recruiters,
the benefits of Profiles IIT.

·
If HR mgrs. can “experience”
the difference between reading a plain text resume & interpreting graphical
profiles, they will see the benefit. Online Recruitment. Few Hundred large
recruiters.
·
We purposely delayed launch
of India-Recruiter by 4/6 weeks, because I strongly felt that we had to make
Profiles suitable for IT pros. Action, right now is in IT recruitment! That
(S/W companies) is our market.
Page No. 13
India Recruiter will also cater to NON-IT
recruitment. For NON-IT professionals, there will not be PROJECT PROFILE (which
is to essential for IT professionals). Different configurations of Profiles,
for different markets. Let us see who adopts it faster. We should know by June.
I have yet to figureout Profiles for “Fresh Graduate” market of BPO’s call
centres.

“Rate US NOW-RUN” page is

India Recruiter “accesses”
such knowledge from Google & Wikipedia.

When we go “open source”
& publish our source-code online, it is possible that this group,
continuities to “refining/re-writing” of the code.

There were those 15000 interviewed questions on WWW. We simply
downloaded these-their built IIT around
these questions. Now we have the “SEED”-around which, we will grow a “TREE”, by
inviting users to contribute still more questions.
·
Next, to help users frame still more interviewed questions, we will
display Wikipedia write-ups when users click on a keyword. The Writeups will
give them ideas about framing further questions.

In our “submit Resume” form,
as soon as a candidate enters his birthdate, we pop-up a box which lists “other
Great People with whom you share your birthday”. We have compiled this date
from a publish book, Next we will download from many websites!
·
We will use Google’s Web Analyties for this purposes. These are simply
mind-boggling!
·
We will certainly find (on WWW),
a paraphrasing software that will “rewrite” any given resume in less than a
second! I expect jobseekers to LOVE this feature !

for “Antecedent Check”.\
·
There will be many more uses
as we go along.
·
I firmly believe, this is the
ONLY way, in which, we can ever hope to overtake Naukri/Monster times jobs. We
have to harness their “knowledge” to our advantage.
·
If Profiles/IIT become
popular amongst Recruiters, some jobsites will certainly come up with even
better solutions.

Global Recruiter will deliver
its “Webservices” to partner & websites under a “licensing/franchising”
arrangement. GR will receive 20% of partner earnings as “licensing
Fees”. Only role of partners will be to get corporates to register/subscribe to
their own websites.
·
As soon as we manage to get
40/50 partner websites, I plan to shut down IndiaRecruiter. Instead of trying
to earn 100% revenue, I would rather retain 20% from a large no. of partners,
in order to create a huge network across the globe.
·
Someone else will, most
certainly. This was first pronounced by Theodore Levitt.

·
This is why, we hove built Global
Recruiter & IndiaRecruiter in ASP.Net in a 5-layered system architecture
involving hundreds of independent “objects/components”-allowing us to 1. Reuse
these components again & again 2. Modify any component without upsetting
other layers. I suppose, we can plug-in components prepared by our customers.

There are dozens of Websites offering
online testing tools (psychometric/personality/Skills etc.).
Possibly these tests can be plugged into Global Recruiter or Vice-Versa,
extending the concept of “partners” & “Network”. On our own, we should not
even try to develop on our own, all those specialized components of
recruitment. For each such “Component”, there are specialist films.
·
Fortunately, we have built it
“modular” from beginning.

Online Recruitment. Millions
of small/medium companies which recruit a few year. Network of Partner Websites
across the world. “Pay-per-click (Like Google’s Ad Words).

·
Millions of small companies
don’t know how to find good employees. They hire the first person that comes
along! They have just ½ vacancies every year, they have very little time/
money/ expertise in hiring.
·
This is generally the
scenario with big companies having large no. of vacancies that need to be
filled very fast-no matter at what cost!
Always a CRISIS Situation demanding URGENT actions.
·
There is nothing very great
complicated about IIT! It is fairly simple; but great value.
·
IIT may prove to be such a
“convenience”. NOW every, HR mgrs. becomes an “expert interviewer”! He does not
have to depend upon consultant/ experts/ other departmental Line Mangers, to
conduct interviews.
·
IIT may prove to be a pan-reliever to thousand of
interviewers who are at complete loss. What questions to ask a candidate.
Page No. 66
·
“Pay Per Click” is targeted
at small/medium business to enable them to switch over to online Recruitment at
a very low cost, for one/two vacancies /yr. But Profiles/IIT are targeted at BIG companies having many hundred of vacancies of
technical personnel-companies which already use jobsites & not much
bothered with “cost/recruitment.
·
Profiles
·
IIT will only appeal to big
companies. They couldn’t care less for “Pay-Per-Click”.

Once a firm stops accepting plain text resumes and
insists on Profiles only, then we will give away-FREE- a enterprise version of
“GuruSearch” Searchengine to each such client-to enable offline searching
of-Profiles.

Our model.

Models of Monster/Naukri/timesjobs.

·
Our Network will consist of
·
Partner Websites
·
Websites offering specialized
TESTING (psychometric etc.) tools.
·
Websites supplying free
content (Google/Wikipedia etc)
·
Jobseekers/Recruiters
offering “User created content” (e.g Resumes/Job Advts/Interview
Questions/Polling).
·
Websites offering API.
·
Websites of Edu Institutes.
·
“Pay-Per-Click” is the only
thing Monster/Naukri might find difficult to “imitate”. Rest everything is
easy. Of course, moving away from a “STAND ALONE” Website to a network of
Partner Website (Who keep 80% of revenues) can also prove difficult to imitate.

Will managers at
Monster/Naukri do this/ Viz. ignore our “Pay Per Click model because it
conflicts with their own current “Subscription” model.
·
Our logic is simple entire
Web is moving towards
·
SOA
·
Webservices
·
Pay per click
·
We shall adopt this model
from very beginning. It is easy fro us because we are a “Start-Up”.

We will “better qualify” at a

Pay per Click
·
Our model two involves very
little “down payment” could be even Rs.
5/- !
·
I am betting that no HR mgrs.
would want to keep track & “No. of Click” at Rs. 1/- per click.
·
I hope it does for us. At Rs.
1/- per download of a resume HR mgrs. may download 100 when only 10 will
suffice.

Monster/Naukri, this year will
earn Rs. 100 Crores in revenue. At Rs. 1/- per click, we would need
IndiaRecruiter, to general 100,000,000/- (One Billion Click) to catch up

We will start with big companies, then move down to smaller

IIT will offer “value” to big companies.

We will expect Partner Websites to do “Selling”.

Small firms will like
IndiaRecruiter, not because of Profiles/IIT etc. but because of Rs. 1/- per
click (Low Cost).
·
Exactly same problem with
Monster/Naukri model, when if comes to small firms wanting to fill one/two
vacancies per year.
·
Small company owners will
understand Profiles graphics, where they would require an HR mgrs. and consultants to interpret a plain text
resume!

This is how Google has attracted millions of small
business to advertise (using Ad Words)- businesses which could never dream to advertise
in Newspapers or TV or hoardings.

We will differ here, by enabling plug-in.
What we too, will attempt.
We will need similar no. of Partner Websites.

May be we should enable 3rd
Party developers to develop other Profiles which can be added to our own 7/8
graphs.
·
Our Lesson
·
Monster/Naukri can put
together, Profiles/IIT within weeks (at most months) but;
·
They will find it difficult
to switchover to Pay Per Click (but not impossible)
Page No. 80
·
Wouldn’t it be great if S/W
developers (largely individual geeks) were encouraged by us to develop
“Profiles Compatible” modules? We will need to open up our “source-code”.
·
Apple too is lagging behind
because of this.

The larges Network of all.

·
If we want Profiles to become
online Recruitment Industry Standard (ORIS) then, we must not try to “control”
its future direction/development, all by ourselves. We will need to rope-in
Monster/Naukri/timesjobs (perhaps starting with timesjobs).

For us, it would also be “extend content” (we have started with

·
I know, We cannot have
monopoly over Profiles/IIT etc. for more than a year at the most. If we want
these to become industry standard, we will either need to license these or get
a large no. of websites to partner with us, or both. Only way to stay ahead of
Monster/Naukri would be to plug-in many more “extremely developed” modules
& Web content from wherever we can find.

Our Partner Websites will
deliver everything that IndiaRecruiter can and also keep
