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,

WORLD-WIDE-JOBS IS JOB-NIRVANA

World-Wide-Jobs is Job-Nirvana

Jobseeker
What problems does he face ?
World-Wide-Jobs (WWJ)
How does it solve these problems ?
SEARCH
There are 2,50,000 Job-Advts on 200 + Indian jobsites. Some 10,000 new advts are being added daily. It is physically impossible for a jobseeker to visit a large no. of jobsites daily and conduct dozens of jobsearches.  
WWJ, aggregates job-advts posted on dozens of jobsites during last 24 hours & creates a consolidated “Jobs database”. A new / fresh database gets created DAILY.

ENDLESS REPETITION
 A jobseeker must enter his “job-preferences” again & again at each jobsite that he visits – everyday.
  

A jobseeker enters his “job-preferences” on WWJ only once. These are used for matching of job-advts. Of course, he can come back and “Edit” his job-preferences anytime .
On “Job Alert Preview (JAP)” page of WWJ, he can “experiment” with various “permutations & combinations” of job-preferences, until his “refinement” results in best-matched jobs. Then, he freezes these job-preferences for getting job-alerts on his mobile-phone.

RELEVANCE
 Jobsearches on different jobsites, not only throw-up widely different results but hundreds of irrelevant jobs. This is due to each jobsite using
  • different search-criteria
  • different search-logic
  • different definitions of “Industry / Function / Designation” etc.

 

By creation of a “structured job-advt database” from all jobs downloaded from all jobsites and applying identical search-criteria / logic / definitions, WWJ manages to match & shortlist, much more relevant jobs.
WWJ also ensures that all alerts are not from jobs posted on one site. It ensures that matching jobs from several sites get delivered as alerts SMS. Duplicate job-alerts get eliminated automatically.


DELIVERY (Job-Alerts + Resumes)

 A jobseekers must go in search of jobs, hopping from jobsite to jobsite. He needs a PC & Internet connection.
He gets tied to a desk.
He is rendered immobile !
To be able to “apply online”, he must deposit his resume at each jobsite (-and very often, by filling up widely differing forms).




 

By delivering job-alerts on mobile-screen (as SMS), WWJ ends the tyranny of PC / Internet. It liberates the jobseeker from “wires”. He can receive job-alerts even while traveling in a car or a train !
Now he needs to deposit his resume, only on WWJ (- and only a plain text resume ! ).
He can “apply online” by a single “SEND” click on his mobile, from wherever he happens to be and at anytime of his choice.
This is interactivity at its best – the ultimate convenience for a jobseeker who is hard-pressed for time. JAM (Job Alert on Mobile) converts the handset into a “Transaction Tool” of M-Commerce. 
There is also instant acknowledgement of “resume-delivery”, so the “information feedback loop” is completed.

FRESHNESS

Jobsearches on jobsites throw-up jobs which were posted 30/60 days ago-and, which are most likely already filled-up, at the time of searching ! A hell of a lot of effort / time gets wasted.


 

WWJ delivers to a candidate, alerts for only those jobs which got posted on dozens of jobsites during last 24 hours. Never stale / already – filled jobs, posted 30/60 days back (not even 2 days back !)This feature ensures that a jobseeker will never miss, a single matching job - and will never fail to click “apply online” – (for fear of never being able to see that job again !)

PRIVACY

Middle / Senior level executives are most reluctant to post their resumes on a large no. of jobsites, where any corporate subscriber can see / view their resumes. In India, there is a considerable stigma attached to “jobsearching”. It is considered “unethical / disloyal” to current employer, besides raising ugly rumours and spoiling an executive’s career in his present job !





WWJ assures a jobseeker the ultimate in privacy / confidentiality, since WWJ has neither any Corporate Subscribers, nor there is a “Resume Search” feature.
Through JAM, a jobseeker decides
  • Who will see his resume
  • When
  • Why
when he clicks “Apply Online” on his mobile.
