Jitendra Amal | | Hi everyone,
I am not exactly an HR person, But I am closely related with the field. I am an IT expert and catering my services to some placement agencies. Right now I am working on something called ONLINE TALENT MANAGEMENT AND TRACKING SYSTEM and I need inputs from the expert recruiters to design it.
You can write me on my_globe @ rediffmail . com
I'll be eagerly waiting for your inputs
Regards
Jitendra Amal

Hello Jitendra,
I am sure you are on a mission to make life easier for all the parties involved in hiring. Maybe if you could share more details about your plans and what you wish to achieve I could proparbly share my insights more meaningfully.

Jitendra Amal | | Hello Akhil,
Yes I am definately trying to make life easy for recruiting agencies and HR divisions. :)
What I understand is that it is a very hactic task for recruiting agncies to find profiles that match their client's requirement. Once they have their profile set ready, the next thing they have to do is to keep track of profiles that were sent to the client, convincing and lining-up candidates for interviews and more interviews, Taking feedback from both client as well as candidate, reminding candidate of interviews. Then comes the macro vision where boss wants the prformance of individual recruiter as well as summary of them all.
There can be much more than what all I know. My idea is to make system very useful. I intend to incorporate features like internal messaging, reminders, self reminders so that recruiters don't have to remember things like when to get feedback, when to remind candidate etc.
Hope I have given you a useful information :) You can still ask for more and I'll try to give you as much information as possible.
Thanks Akhil, for showing your interestPrivate Reply to Jitendra Amal | | Sep 12, 2006 7:37 pm | | re: re: re: Your input | # |

Well you seem to be knowing the entire process at the back of your hand.
Most of the tasks that you have spoken about seems can be taken by Resume management system which may prove to be an expensive option though. However, you may wanna think about developing an hosted application on the lines of salesforce.com wherein the recruiters can store their database along with the day to day activities and the management having an option to monitor the same.
Selling this solution in India may be a completely differant ball game without the price advantage though.
Regards,
Akhil

Viswanathan Chandrasekharan | | I agree with Akhil.
I feel your product does address a need.
Selling this in India is going to be difficult. To be successful you need to be competitive on pricing. To be competitive on pricing you need volumes.
Please do a market research. Can the market support your numbers?
I may be wrong. My feeling is that the big players should be already having this ( or variations of this ).
The smaller players are a fragmented lot. You need a marketing strategy to reach them in order to get your numbers.
Hope my comments havent dampened your enthusiasm.
All the best.Private Reply to Viswanathan Chandrasekharan | | Sep 13, 2006 5:24 pm | | re: re: re: re: re: Your input | # |
Jitendra Amal | | Thanks for your honest comment Viswanathan. We very well know the kind of competition we have. I know there are some really good products already being offered by big players like Wipro.
I'll never sell anything less in quality compared to competition. You always have to put your first step forward and that is what I am doing. I'll surely invite suggestions on pricing from guys like you. And trust me, I am not playing a blind game. I am constantly gathering inputs and I'll make sure my product has an edge over its competition. I'll be comming out with beta version by the end of this year. And will start giving free trials from next year.
Thanks again Viswanathan

Thomas Anderson | | Hello Jitendra,
Having been involved with a number of "from the ground up" design efforts, customized packages and several big name AT Applications, my company has selected a package called MaxHire out of Vancouver, CN.
It is one of the most complete applicant tracking packages I've ever been involved with and one you might want to review.
Sincerely,
Tom AndersonPrivate Reply to Thomas Anderson | | Sep 15, 2006 4:47 am | | re: re: Your input | # | 
Jayaraj Menon | | HI Jitendra,
I think you are on the right track. I own a one year old recruitment firm and I feel the need of an application that you are developing. ( There is one co. Cbiz one , who already has a s/w. but it is PC based or server/network based).
If you are looking at small recruitment firms as your target market ( size of about 10-15 recruiters or less); then an inexpensive On-demand application based on the web is a swell idea.( like salesforce.com as Akhil was saying)
some pointers that recruiters would find useful:
1. resume download; take the relevant skill sets automatically into an excel sheet or smething similar.
2. resume search;
3.opportunity allocation b/w recruiters
4. tracking time taken to close a position
5.tracking correspondence with the candidate/ client
6. adding comments onto resumes etc.
7.Monitor efficiency of the recruiter
8. Same database access from difft branches.
so on and so forth.
glad to be of help to you anytime for this venture..
Jayaraj

Jitendra Amal | | Thanks Thomas,
I went through their online product tour and it helped me a lot. We too are developing an application thats on the similar lines. We have already created a desktop tool that will let recruiters add resumes much much more faster as it has a very unique auto-sense feature that will automatically fetch information in almost all fields thus by reducing data entry to a great extent. The application will also have an online resume adding capabilities for both recruiter as well as candidate. We too are developing application on .NET with SQL Server and trust me, it is gonna be real fast.
But to keep price tag lower, I'll have to cut short several rarely used features in the first version atleast.
Thanks again Thomas, Keep giving me your valuable inputs.

Jitendra Amal | | Hi Jayraj,
Your reply is indeed very encouraging. We are developing purely a web based application with central database. Many of the features you have suggested are already part of our present design, such as
- Leting recruiters download resumes in MS-Word format,
- Adding comments to resumes,
- Resume searching and saving searches, a feature similar to those found in jobsahead and naukri.
- Internal messaging
- Reminders and self reminder to set "to-do" tasks
- And ofcourse tracking.
Let me know if you guys want me to post the feature list of this application here.
Thanks Jayraj, I'll keep getting back to you guys for various reasons.
In order to keep in touch with you, I need your email ids. you can email me at jitendra.amal @ gmail.com
Thanks again
Regards

Stankov | | Hi Jitendra,
Your messages contain features which are generic in nature... Do you have a functional expert who is doing a market study on the competition and also what features are required.
If not then I suggest you lookup what competition is offering inthe market place where you are going to position your product/solutions.
