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,

DECIPHERING SKILLS FROM OBJECTIVES


Rohit / Akshay :

Job descriptions do mention , some skills / domain expertise that a prospective candidate should possess for a given position

Even when these do , it is very difficult to establish whether a candidate possesses those skills or not

Most of the time, the candidates manage to use vague jargon to imply : Yes , I have that skill

Interviewer is left , no wiser  !

But , if you were to ask him :

“ If selected , can you achieve an average age of accounts receivable not to exceed 25 days – which is currently 45 days in our company ? “

He is forced to answer “ yes “ or “ No “ or “ yes , provided ……..

Such a positive / definitive answer implies that , he does possess some “ Skills “ necessary to achieve this “ objective “

But precisely , “ what “ are those skills ?

May be , these are “ mentioned “ somewhere in his resume , in the form of some “ keywords “!

The trick ( for the algorithm ) is to establish a “ correspondence “ between :

·          The Objective Question
·         The given Answer
And,
·         The “ keywords “ in his resume

Attachment ( to this mail ) may help you to “ train “ your software to “ discover / uncover “ such co-relations

A larger / more complex issue :

Can your software ( which you will design ) automatically convert a “ job description” handed out to us by our clients , into a set of “ objectives “ ( as shown in attachment ) ?

Then , possibly , we can ask our consultants to ask those questions during interview and record the “ YES “ or “ NO “ answers !

And , should you make this feature available online ( in Careerletics ? ), for use by your Corporate Clients , you will succeed in capturing thousands of YES and NO , from hundreds of Interviewers ( crowd sourcing , at its best ? ), to build up a large data-set
