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,

SOURCE CODE FOR JOB PORTAL

Dear   Friends  :



If you own a Job Portal or are planning to launch one, then this could be an useful resource . 


Here are source-codes ( unfortunately , without corresponding data bases ) of some of the portals that I had launched, over the past 20 years and then de-hosted 


Feel free to download if you wish. No obligation !


But , the code , by itself , may not explain what we tried to do ( features that we tried to incorporate )


During the design / development of these , I sent notes to my s/w colleagues to explain what I had in mind


You may want to look up these notes in the " NOTES " section and the " REPORTS "section of this site


If there are any questions , feel free to write to me at :

hcp@RecruitGuru.com


Example :

Visitor :  

Why are you giving away these source-codes for FREE  ?

Me  :

In the hope that one of these days, a few Start-Ups will join hands to launch an  " Open Source "  movement , leading to ,

World  Wide  Work   Federation  [  W3F  ]



wishing you luck ,

World Wide Work ( W3F )



World Wide Work
Federation
June  18 ,  2015


Dear  Policy  Maker :



           http://www.eex.dcmsme.gov.in/Home.aspx

Two days back , Government of India launched this web site , to bridge the info-gap between Employers and Jobseekers

No doubt a good initiative

But what the Government should do is what I have briefly explained in the last para of the following Concept Note , viz:

>  Launch  www.World-Wide-Jobs.com (
WWJ )

> Also launch one web site ( with its own distinct URL ) for each of those 900 + Employment Exchanges and make these 900 web sites , " Partner Web sites " of
WWJ

>  As of today , some 43 million jobseekers have registered in these Employment Exchanges .

    Government should launch massive advts and ask all those 43 million to re-visit their nearest Employment Exchange and re-submit their resumes ONLINE (on the local exchange web site )

    Employment Exchange staff should be trained to help the jobseekers to submit their resumes and help the MSME ( nearby shopkeepers ? ) , to search / download resumes

> All future jobseekers will do likewise ; No more paper forms to fill in

> Thru massive advts , Govt to encourage 50 million MSME to log into WWJ ( from anywhere ) and search / find / download suitable resumes , without paying any Subscription  !

    Absolutely FREE 

    There can be no doubt that , out of these 50 MILLION MSME , at least 12 million , need to hire ONE person each year

    That means there are 12 million jobs being created every year by these un-organized MSME , which just cannot afford to post their vacancies on job-portals

>  Government to persuade ( in National interest ) MonsterIndia / Naukri / TimesJobs and hundreds of other job-portals to become Partner Web sites of
WWJ and deposit their Job Advts / Resumes ( thru daily RSS feeds ) into this COMMON DATABASE of WWJ, accessible to anyone from anywhere

I am willing to help / guide this project , if requested by Central Government

·       Job-related RSS feeds from their own Corporate Websites
·       Exchange of  Links / Logos

Search Engines
_____________


Search Engines have a crucial / vital contribution to make to W3F.

Over the years, they have amassed vast data / history / usage-frequency re: “Search Terms” used by

Ø  Jobseekers while searching for jobsites

Ø  Recruiters while searching for resumes

Such “Search Terms” usually list job-portals links in search results.

However, such “links” may or may not turn-up on the FIRST PAGE of results.

Anytime, any such “Search Terms”  is typed,  Search Engines can make a huge difference by showing-up on the very FIRST PAGE,

Ø  www.world-wide-jobs.com,   and it’s

Ø  Partner Websites
























Social Networking Sites
____________________

It is being claimed that Social Networking Sites such as Facebook / MySpace / Orkut / Linkedin / You Tube etc. host / carry more job-advts and resumes than the biggest commercial job-portals.

That makes them “bigger-than-the-biggest” job portals” !

And most of these are FREE as well.

And most are visited by millions of jobseekers and recruiters daily.

And nearly all of these visitors have their own / smaller “networks” of friends on these sites.

By partnering with


these Social Networking Sites can become the ideal vehicle / media, to disseminate job & resume-related into the farthest corners of the Earth !




Other websites
____________

If the focus of attention of jobseekers and recruiters, are Job Portals,


the focus of attention of

·       Already employed
·       Self – employed
·       Non-Seekers of employment

are

Ø  Travel Sites
Ø  Matrimonial Sites
Ø  Education Sites
Ø  Banking / Insurance site
Ø  Music / culture / Arts sites etc.etc.

But these Visitors (nearly all of them) have

Ø  Siblings
Ø  Children
Ø  Friends
Ø  Colleagues

who happen to be “ JobSeekers ”

These other websites can contribute to the mission of W3F by exchanging links or even becoming “Partners”




Governments
___________

Even if creating jobs may not be a “direct responsibility” of any Govt., or that “Right to job” may not be a constitutional right in most countries , all Government everywhere, have a moral responsibility to see that all it eligible citizens have jobs.

Towards this end, Governments of India (State & Central) have set up 900+ Employment Exchanges, where more than 38 million jobseekers have registered ( as of May 2010 ).

But, all Employment Exchanges put together could provide jobs (in 2009 ) to a mere 300,000 jobseekers !

Primary reason for such dismal performance is that there is hardly any “Exchange” of job-related or candidate related information through exchanges ( -despite some exchanges having their own websites ).

Apart from contributing through donations / advertisements etc., Govt. can hugely contribute by

Ø  having a Website for each Exchange

Ø  making all “Partners” of
