Google for Hiring

 


A poster picture appeared in a WhatsApp message reading

Google...Now Hiring

No need to apply.

We already have all your information. 


And following comments from a friend accompanied: Google has everyone's concise information (సంక్షిప్త సమాచారం) up in the cloud. Google decides if one is to be hired !


This prompted me to imagine how candidate selection for employment would be in the days / years to come... 

with A I (artificial intelligence) aiding in hiring process....


CEO, Sikhar at Seek Corp called his HR head, Hari and sought to know about how the recruitment plan made during the previous day is progressing. The company (Seek Corp) was looking for hiring a Manager for a client company, Desire&Get Ltd. in Hyderabad. Hari contacts Google Assistant (Google Assistant is the AI-powered software you talk to when using a Google Home speaker) to find out suitable candidate.


Hari: Google, is there any suitable candidate for the post?


Google: Give me a second to scan Cloud (memory where data is saved by people in the virtual world)....(after a fraction of a second) Hari, here is a whatsApp conversation I located, throwing up a candidate for your need.


WhatsApp chat between Radha garu and Purohit Sastry garu.


Radha Garu: Shastri Garu, my son is working in Bangalore. We want to marry him after he shifts to Hyderabad. Currently he is looking for a good job in Hyderabad and then wants get married. We are contemplating to perform Satyanarayana Vratam to seek blessings of the Almighty. Please check the Panchang and tell us an auspicious date and time for performing the puja.


Sastri: OK ... please wait. (Checking from the almanac) Amma ... tomorrow is a good day for your boy ...


Radha Garu: oh ... then please help us to perform the Vratam tomorrow. 


Sastri: Ok... Now I will place an online order with the pooja store for all items required for the ritual which will be delivered to you in 2 hours. I will guide and direct you from 8 am tomorrow through WhatsApp video call. Be ready.


Radha Garu: As you say Satri garu. We will be ready at 8 am tomorrow.


Next morning, the priest connected to Radha garu through WhatsApp video call, recited Udyoga Parva, later chanting the mantras helped with the conduct of Satyanarayana puja. After the completion of all rituals, he blessed Radha garu "Ishta phala siddhirastu".


Google: Not only the candidate has the blessings of God, I have checked his credentials including his master's degree in business administration from IIM in his mobile memory. Cross checked the same from IIM-A records. I have also verified his current employer's rating cards.


Hari: That's fine. Have you checked other candidates?


Google: After the Cloud search of records of 24 candidates in all from 15 companies on 10 primary criteria identified by you, this is the most suitable candidate of all.


Hari: Google, please give me his curriculum-vitae, biodata and contact details.


After obtaining the data, Hari sends out an offer letter over email to the chosen candidate prefaced with a note: "We are hiring you. You do not need to apply. We have all details and information about you......"

Woes of a travelling job

My job in pharmaceutical sales profession exposed me to all the woes associated with a travelling job. The problems were unique. Since I was a bachelor when I started my sales career covering a small geographic territory (Guntur town and Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh) I had to eat food in small restaurants and eating joints in various small towns which  served food totally different from the hotel in Bangalore. I used to consume generally bland and less spicy but very tasty food at  a hotel (Gayathri Boarding) for the entire duration of my college studies in Bangalore. Food in the coastal region of Andhra Pradesh is usually very spicy. It was tough adjusting to the food since no two consecutive meals were generally cooked by the same chef as the travel meant that I had to be going to different hotels.  Living out of a suit case, necessiated by the travelling sales job, restricts life in many ways. We carry limited dresses while on travel warranting usage of laundry ...

Story of my wallet

Good Friday, Black Friday are turning out to be anathema to me... on a Good Friday in 1976 there was a theft in my house and on Black Friday the 25th November 2022,  I lost my wallet. The newspaper on Black Friday was enticing everyone with calls of Great Black Friday Offers ranging from small house hold items to big gadgets like mobile phones, refregirators, ACs etc. Wet Floor mop at home had worn out and required an urgent replacement. Late in the evening, I ventured out on my two wheeler with my wife on the pillion seat to buy a mop.

Pleasures & Perils of WhatsApp group

Initiating a WhatsApp group and then adding members with a message to a contact “I’ll add you to the group” is easy. But maintaining the group and making it productive has become a challenge. I felt honored when invited by my immediate senior in school to join  a WhatsApp group of Schoolmates in March-April, 2020. The group has a senior Banker, an Aero-Scientist, a Dentist, a senior Public Sector Administrator, a distinguished Poet, 2 medical practitioners, a Chartered Accountant, a horticulture scientist apart from me, a Pharma Sales Person. Interestingly, the group was put together by the daughter of the  Senior Banker. She wanted to present her father with a facility to recall and reminisce school days with his schoolmates. I am ever grateful to her for giving me a wonderful gift of connecting with old friends after decades of leaving the school. This is the latest WhatsApp group of which I became a member. I am also a participant in 2 groups of my relatives and have scores...
