Hi Friends,

: Interview Session
Video in OJF
|
Is it possible to allow / enable the concerned Interviewer and
the
concerned jobseekers , to download the video of their own interview session , at the end ? This facility will be very useful , at least to the candidate being interviewed , for watching it later , again and again , to find out where he goofed up / gave wrong answers / expressed poorly / wrong body language / lack of listening - etiquette etc Pl consider Hcp Sent from my iPad |

DAZZLE THEM !

VS,
Even as I
await your phone call , here are two suggestions to " dazzle " the
Recruiters and the Jobseekers , in OJF :
# Simplifying Recruiter's Life
No
recruiter / interviewer can just CLICK OPEN a resume and remember that he has
interviewed this guy , 3 months / 6 months / 3 years back , AND marked him
" Rejected " after filling up the " Candidate Assessment Form
" - especially , if Recruiter is conducting interviews ( of , mostly
FRESH GRADUATES ) , day in and day out
Of course,
we have made a provision whereby , if a Recruiter has any doubt , he can call
/ look up , the past INTERVIEW HISTORY of that candidate , and see the past
ASSESSMENT SHEET
But , why
leave this to chance ?
Each
Candidate has a PEN ( Permanent Executive Number ) , and each Recruiter
Company has a PCN ( Permanent Corporate Number )
Once , a
Company has interviewed a Candidate , these NUMBERS get linked , permanently
So , next
time the SAME candidate applies to SAME company , we should have no problem
to POP UP his past " Candidate Assessment Form " ALSO , when
Recruiter CLCKS to Open / Read his resume !
No need to
remember ! Recruiters will love this HELP !
# Simplifying Candidate's Life
We decided
that we cannot allow a Jobseeker to " Peep In " any interview cabin
and listen into the Questions by the Recruiter and the Answers by the
Jobseeker . Such an intrusion of privacy will put off both the parties ! They
will feel like being inside a FISH BOWL !
But ,
We are
going to capture / store in our database , the entire Interview Session (
Video + Audio ) , of each and every interview
We are ,
even going to convert each audio / spoken , Question ( and Answer ? ) into
Text , in order to create a DATA BANK of Interview Questions
I believe ,
it is possible ( I don't know how easy or difficult ) , to substitute in the
Video :
>
Interviewer's face with my face ( I don't mind ! Makes me immortal ! )
>
Jobseeker's face with your face ( free Brand Building ! )
AND
make such
Video available for online viewing , to Jobseekers ( who are willing to pay
Rs 5 per Video ) for " Preparing for Interview " ( a kind of
Training to get Interviewed )
Even the TEXT
of those Questions and Answers , can be super-imposed on each frame !
Remember ,
enabling Interviewers and Jobseekers to get an " EXPERIENCE " of
the kind that no other job portal offers , has to be our USP

LinkedIn
Sings MoU with HRD Ministry to Create More Jobs for Students
First
published: November 3, 2016, 10:51 AM
IST | Updated: 5 hours ago
Professional
networking website LinkedIn has announced that it has signed a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) with the Human Resources Development Ministry to create
more job opportunities for students across the country.
As
part of the agreement, LinkedIn's recently launched "Placements"
product will be adopted by all Indian colleges affiliated with All India
Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
Placements
provides a level playing field for all students, regardless of their location
or college and allows them to take an online assessment test, which gives
them direct access to thousands of openings in 35 top corporates in the
country.
"Our
objective with Placements is to help India's best talent get access to job
opportunities, regardless of their location. With this partnership, we are
excited to see our vision quickly become a reality," said Akshay
Kothari, Country Manager and Head of Product, LinkedIn India, in a statement.
Placements
was piloted in November 2015 and then LinkedIn opened the product in
September 2016 to students at all colleges and universities in India.
In
less than eight weeks from the launch, over two lakh students registered for
the product and there were over 1.2 million job applications.

Taking learning to screens, across the globe
Impartus targets 10,000 institutes; to focus on South-East Asia,
East Africa
BENGALURU,
OCTOBER 28:
In times when MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) enjoy favour
across the world, even full-time postgraduate degrees are being offered
online in markets like the US and UK.
However, what’s been missing in India is the delivery of high
quality teaching to students in a way that they can access lectures even
outside the campus.
Education
in India
Higher education in India is still campus-based with some
institutes offering distance learning as an alternative.
With Impartus Innovations reportedly already helping more than 75
institutions in the country deliver teaching via
video, many students enrolled at these institutions can access the
company’s flagship productLecture Capture on a range
of devices.
Amit Mahensaria, co-founder of Impartus Innovations, says:
“We’ve moved from zero to 75-80 per cent market share in India, but even that
is small considering the larger base to tap is more than 10,000 institutes.”
Advantage
institutes
Impartus has institutions paying a subscription fee on the basis of number of classrooms
enabled with its solutions.
IFIM B-School, for example, has reportedly made investments of about
a crore, in supporting infrastructure, including solutions by
Impartus.
The institute’s relationship with the company is well over a
couple of years old, according to a Sanjay Padode, Secretary (Centre for
Developmental Education), IFIM B-School.
“Around 27 of the institute’s classrooms are enabled by video-based
solutions. We’ve received higher enrolments from students outside the
city, but beyond the impact on admissions, benefits are seen to be higher in
the learning aspect of it all,” Padode shares.
×
He adds that while students don’t have to take notes anymore,
they can also access the same lessons or modules taught by other teachers; they
can also view old lectures before they choose an elective.
R&D
partnership
For over two years, Xerox Research Centre India (XRCI) has been
“developing technology for learning platforms” in its research lab.
According to Manish Gupta, Vice-President and Director, XRCI’s
partnership with Impartus is still in early stages and the three-year agreement on a revenue-sharing basis is “reasonably open ended” in
terms of R&D undertaken.
“We were focussed on the engineering education side of things,
but on a quick survey of players in the higher education space, Impartus
stood out. They already had a presence in institutions across India, while
we’re strong in areas like machine learning and other unique capabilities,”
Gupta says.
What’s already possible on Lecture Capture, thanks to the deal with
XRCI, is automatic indexing so that students find the lecture of
their choice; XRCI’s software reportedly also identifies sub-topics.
Mahensaria claims that Impartus has enjoyed growth
of 100-200 per cent per annum, as well as month-on-month growth of
10-15 per cent.
Meanwhile, IFIM B-School’s Padode sees that teachers are
motivated to make lectures interesting; students get to give their feedback on lectures.
Funding
Impartus received Series A funding of more than $4 million from Kaizen Private Equity
after bootstrapping the company for more than a year.
The funds are being used for further product development,
international expansions, and sales and marketing.
“In Kenya, an untapped market for us, we’re working with a
channel partner. We’ve started marketing in South East Asia and East Africa.
In Malaysia, we’re investing heavily because we’re also looking at the
country as a base for strategic investments in the larger region. But at the
moment, more than 90 per cent of our revenues come from India,” Mahensaria
reveals.
