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,

RE: OCR/ ICR Solution


Dear Vikas,

Many thanks for writing and offering your help

Before phoning you, I thought of providing you with my brief background ( some of which, you will find on …www.hemenparekh.in  )

After working with L&T for over 30 years ( 1959-90 ), I retired to set up a headhunting firm ( www.3pConsultants.co.in ) in April 1990

I pulled out of active role in 2004 . My son , Nirmit manages it now

I launched our first job portal ( www.3pjobs.com  ) in Nov 1997 ( now re-named 3pConsultants  )

In the subsequent 20 years, I launched :

·         www.StrategicHr.co.in
·          
·         www.CustomizeResume.com
·          
·         www.B2BmessageBlaster.com
·          

Also launched and de-hosted :

·         www.RecruitGuru.com
·          
·         www.World-Wide-Jobs.com
·          
·         www.GlobalRecruiter.net ( visible )
·          
·         www.IndiaRecruiter.net ( partly visible )
·          
·         Resume Rater ( offline tool / stopped )
·          
During past 27 years , I wrote many handwritten notes to my colleagues ( mostly s/w developers ), re the concepts / logic of the above-mentioned portals ( including U/I and page write-ups )

I believe the total no of these handwritten pages run close to 10,000 +

About 2 years back , I hired a typist , to type and upload these notes on my blogging site (  www.hemenparekh.in ) in REPORTS section

So far , we have managed to upload , only a few hundred pages !

Following will give you an idea of those handwritten notes :

·         Online Jobs Fair

Over the past 2 years , I have tried to guide / mentor , a few start-ups in the “ Online Recruitment “ domain , by making available to them , photo-copies of my notes ( absolutely FREE and without any obligation )

In a few cases , I have , even gave away the Source Codes !

This is a tedious process !

If I can OCR and upload my notes , then a large number of start ups can benefit

Right now , I am helping one Mumbai-based start up to improve their “ Resume Parsing Engine “ and develop a “ Candidate Shortlisting Algorithm “ using our database of some 25,000 Senior Executive ( candidates ) , which helped us appoint , some 1200 positions ( through 5 stages of interview-based elimination ) , over the past 7 years

Since I do not have the email ID of Umashankar , I request you to forward this mail to him , since , he too is in the business of “ Matchmaking “ between Recruiters and Jobseekers

Feel free to phone me on any day ( except , between 2pm to 4 pm )






Warm Regards,

Hemen Parekh / Marol / Mumbai
