File  Finder  Features

( Draft of Email to be sent to Webinar Conductor : April 16, 2014 )

------------------------------------------

Dear.............

Sub : New Features of File Finder

We look forward to attending tomorrow , the Webinar on the new features of File Finder

Perhaps you are aware that we have created in our FF , profiles of some 54,000 executives

Over the coming years , we would like to increase this database to over 500,000

But even with 54,000 records , the real problem is to keep these records up-to-date

This appears an impossible task considering that 2 research-assistants can , between them , update no more than 50 profiles per day

At this rate , it would take 3+ years , to update all  !

By that time , once again , 95 % of the profiles would have become obsolete  !

As in case of LinkedIn / Facebook etc , profiles can remain up-to-date , only if the executives themselves update their own profile , whenever they wish

This can only happen if :

>  Executives " see " some benefit in doing so

    ( " What is in it for me ? " - type of motivation )

>  They have some " method " to update their profiles thru login

   (not just email latest text resume but EDIT a structured form )

Here are our suggestions for your consideration :

A... WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME  ?

      Not only in India but all over the World , executives at all levels are very keen to know their own " Market Value "

They are anxious to know , how their current salary compares with the salaries of their Co-Professionals , in the economy as a whole and in their own Industry - Sector , in particular

If I am a ,

> General Manager ( Designation Level )

> Marketing           ( Function  )

> 45 years old        (  Age  )

> Graduate Engg     ( Edu Qualification )

> working in AUTO industry  ( Industry  )

>  25 years of Experience     ( Experience  )

then ,

how does my current salary compare with " similar " executives elsewhere  ?  ( A true , Apple-for-Apple comparison )

A Salary - Distribution Curve  ( may not be a truly Normal Distribution ) , showing my percentile position amongst ( say ) , 435  Co-Professionals , would be of great interest to me  !

In return for such " Analytics " , I would be happy to EDIT my structured profile frequently - and on my own !

We believe , if we can incorporate such a feature in FF and make it " Accessible " to the executives , then they would feel motivated to keep their profiles up-to-date

Some years back ( 2007 ) , we had attempted such a feature in our web site ,

www.IndiaRecruiter.net  ( now de-hosted )

You can find this page at ,

UNDERPAID  ?

B...  PERSONAL  ANALYTICS

With the data ( about each executive ) available in FF Database , we would request you to consider introduction of ,

PERSONAL ANALYTICS

This would automatically " generate " , 8 to 9 graphical profiles of an executive

The " sequence " of these profiles can be " customized " by the executive concerned

You can see this feature on our current web site , at ,

LIVE  DEMO

---------------------------------------------------------------

C...  ACCESS TO  FF

We appreciate that it may not be possible - or desirable - to grant direct access to the executives to FF database , in order for them to update / EDIT their structured profiles

However , we think , it should be possible to provide to them , an Interface ( with FF ) , in the form of a web site ( to be called ),

www.IndiaSalary.com ,

which would carry a STRUCTURED FORM

We may even consider initially " populating " this online database on our own - and programmatically - , by " mapping " with contents of FF

Then send User Name / Password to each executive , to enable him to :

>  Future EDITS

>  Access , " Salary Comparison " & " Personal Analytics " graphs

In turn , his EDITED form would be migrated to FF to update the FF database - again automatically

For executives belonging to

>  HR function

and at,

>  General Manager level ,

we may enable them to access ANY salary - graph of any demographic profile ( any function / designation level / age / marital status / gender / edu quali / industry / exp etc )

This would enable them with following decisions :

>  How are my own Company Executives placed ( salary-wise ) , vis-a-vis the Industry  norms  ?

>  Is there a need for my company to revamp its Compensation Structure  ?

>  Which of my current executive is most likely to resign in near future  ?

>  What salary package I should offer this executive who I just interviewed and found excellent , without upsetting my internal Apple-cart  ?
