Intellectual Job Search

How to attract new people to the site

1. Free
2. Simple cut&paste instead of long registration
3. Send email to the recruiters with invitation to post/send position description.
4. Send email to the job seekers with invitation to post/send resume.

Security

1. Don’t allow more than 5 post from the same IP within 5 minutes.
2. Block bad IPs (IPs of users with bad behavior: post too often, post fake info …)

How to parse a post

Every post (resume or job description) is divided into bunch of words (or even phrases).

Every combination {post}{word} gets a score.

The score depends on how many times the word was appeared in the post.

Score = log(quantity of occurrences) / (total quantity of occurrences of this word within all posts)

Name of the site

It might be nice to buy www.job.com J

http://www.jobmarket.com/ - empty.

User interface

User interface has to be very simple.

Basically there should be only two elements:

Text field for the resume text

Button “Post resume”.

Some additional info might be useful:

Location (zip code or State + City)

Login (UserName + Password).

Some info has to be extracted from the resume and confirmed:

- Email address

- Phone

- Core keywords

- Rate/Salary
