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?"

RE: THIS MAY INTEREST YOU

 Mitchelle ,

 

Assuming that LLMs can do much better than this , I asked GROK :

 

“   Good Morning , Grok Bhai : This was excellent. Although the " Time Frames " for different works of a Recruitment Executive ( RE ) are different ( 3 - 6 - 12 months ) , the PERFORMANCE has to be " measured and recorded " every WEEK . Hence those TARGETS too need to be broken down as " Per Week " . Then comes plotting " Actual achieved " vs " Targettted Achievement " ( for any given week AND for CUMULATIVE weeks ) on a dashboard ( U / I ) which is transparently visible to all. But the clever part is to DESIGN a Computerised System which generates these " Performance Statistics " as a bye-product and which does not require any separate data-entry by a human. Take a look at an " Order Execution System - OES " which I got developed some 20 years ago , at > https://hcpnotes.blogspot.com/2023/01/order-execution-output-statements.html // Can you design and develop one ( software , UI , Schematic Diagram and the works ) which 3P Consultants can implement and start using ? “

 

Here is GROK’s reply :

 

“  Order Execution System (OES) Design and Prototype

Good morning! Based on your description of the original OES from 20 years ago (as detailed in the blog post at https://hcpnotes.blogspot.com/2023/01/order-execution-output-statements.html), I've designed a modern, computerized Order Execution System tailored for 3P Consultants. This system focuses on managing recruitment workflows—from shopping baskets (inquiries) to order execution, payments, and histories—while automatically generating performance statistics as a by-product of normal operations. No separate manual data entry is required for stats; they are derived from logged events (e.g., when a user saves an order or marks an interview complete, the system logs achievements against weekly targets).

The design emphasizes:

  • Automation: Event-driven logging (e.g., via database triggers or app hooks) to track actions like processing shopping baskets, converting orders, or completing interviews.
  • Performance Tracking: Targets broken down weekly (e.g., if a 6-month target is 200 mappings, weekly target is ~8). Actuals are computed from system logs and plotted vs. targets on a dashboard (weekly and cumulative).
  • Transparency: Dashboard visible to all users, with role-based access (e.g., consultants see their own stats; admins see aggregates).
  • Scalability: Web-based for easy implementation; starts simple but can integrate with tools like email/SMS for reminders.

This is a prototype design—3P Consultants can implement it using open-source tools (e.g., Python for backend, SQLite/PostgreSQL for database, Dash/Streamlit for UI). It's inspired by modern recruitment CRMs like Recruiterflow or Loxo (from web searches), but customized to your PE-focused approach. For full development, a developer can expand this.

1. System Architecture Overview

  • Backend: Python (Flask or Django) for logic, handling CRUD operations and auto-logging.
  • Database: Relational (e.g., PostgreSQL for production; SQLite for prototype) with triggers for auto-stats.
  • Frontend/UI: Web dashboard using Dash (Python-based) or React for interactivity.
  • Automation Layer:
    • On actions (e.g., updating an order status), the system logs to a PerformanceLogs table.
    • Weekly cron jobs aggregate data and update dashboards.
    • Integrations: Email/SMS APIs (e.g., Twilio) for automatic reminders (e.g., "Payment due in 3 days").
  • Data Flow: Shopping Basket → Proposal → Order → Execution (Resumes/Interviews) → Payment → History. Stats are by-products (e.g., count of processed SBs logs as "actual" against target).
  • Security: Role-based access (consultants, admins); audit logs for transparency.
  • Deployment: Host on AWS/Heroku; open-source base (adapt from OpenCATS ATS for recruitment specifics).

2. Database Schema

The schema captures key entities from your blog: clients, candidates, orders, payments, etc. It includes a PerformanceLogs table for auto-tracking. Here's the SQL schema (prototype in SQLite; expandable to PostgreSQL with triggers like CREATE TRIGGER log_performance AFTER UPDATE ON Orders ... to auto-insert logs).
