Resume - What are the issues?
JOBSAtAnytime+ View     monster.com
Attributes that are important for matching are entirely enumerated using many hierarchical lists. These lists support the concept of groups and are exhaustive and dynamic (chances are that you will find all values/objects/names of interest but in case if they are not found - you are allowed to add new entries, so you do not compromise on the information you wish to provide in your profile). Errors in matching are eliminated as you just select from the same list that work providers refer to!     
Scantily enumerated and often typed; flat lists which are very short and static (i.e. you are forced to  compromise by choosing a substitute for a missing attribute value, thus compromising on accuracy of your profile). Concept of groups is missing.

Queries: Managing Responses - What are the issues?
JOBSAtAnytime+ View Query View Query Result     monster.com
You are allowed to set up multiple filters (set of conditions) to block unwanted responses so that even as a passive user (one who has just created the resume and is not actively searching for a job) you get relevant matches. You can make queries with a host of filters and ranking criteria with weightages (signifying importance) and scores for different values (signifying preferences). All criteria are not displayed in your resume. You get a shortlist ranked by merit. You preserve your privacy and negotiation advantage.
    There is NO query submission and response facility, however, there is online search facility only. This has limited search parameters: location, experience period in years, industry, job category and functional areas. 

Work Seeker can post an agent and Naukri sends a job by email.

You can control the confidentiality and data shareability. Choose your own comfort level. Your data cannot be browsed by anyone. It is sent by email / post to only those who match your filter criteria and only the permitted data is disclosed. You can even prohibit sharing your data and specify one way flow of data to you.     The confidentiality option exist.

Cost-efficiency - What are the issues?
JOBSAtAnytime+     monster.com
You can register and subscribe for a very low cost. Standard resume is crisp and well structured - it is based on your own inputs so it does not run the risk of appearing phony. 

Query charges are debited only if responses matching your criteria are generated
by the system. In passive mode, the responses received by you are free (and these are sent only after honouring your profile filters.) 

Long-term subscriptions come with hefty discounts.
    Registration is free. Making resume with the help of experts is charged depending on their level of management.

Points of Comparison - Issues & Features
 
Resume
Precision in profiling human expertise by accurate and complete depiction of one's
   
a) qualifications & credits
b) experience & achievements/awards
   
Typing these attributes invariably leads to ambiguities and errors that defeat automated matching processes. Therefore, these "values/objects/names" should ideally be selected from predefined lists. Automated processes do not forgive mistakes. Even manual evaluations get a big boost with crisp definitions and tabular representation of enumerated data instead of long winding sentences. Today degrees alone do not convey the different knowledge domains taught/studied. People perform diverse functions that are difficult to guess from their designations (job titles). So compilation of exhaustive AND dynamic attribute lists is critical for computer assisted matching services.

Work Interest Areas
By extrapolating one's qualification or experience it is not proper to attempt matching, for e.g. a Chartered Accountant may wish to switch to a career in Information Technology or an English Teacher may wish to join a Theatre or take up Acting
back
 
Queries: Managing Responses
A work seeker should be able to ideally specify essential conditions that must be met in a matching offer and those that are desirable. Among the latter there should be a way of indicating importance and preferences for specific properties. Real life is not black and white so there ought to be a way of ranking by merit.
back
 
Value Added Services
Work seekers often read news papers or magazines for advertised positions and then apply directly. While making applications to certain positions, work seekers may choose to tweak their standard  resume or make notes for follow-up or points discussed or to be negotiated. Applications may have to be printed and couriered or posted to specific advertisers etc. Photos of multi-media objects may have to be submitted.

Scanning Service
Scanning advertisements of work positions - from publications can cost a lot of time and money.

Confidentiality and data shareability
Work seekers wish to protect their identity and yet be able to match suitable work positions; they may wish to block matching with specific organisations or types of work positions

Cost-efficiency
1) Standard offering should include creation of a  resume that is accurate and comprehensive. Multiple formats should be available - detailed for fresher and summary for experienced work seekers.
   
2) Cost payable by you should depend upon the success achieved, i.e. the relevant responses actually generated and 
   
3) Registration fees and subscription fees for online storage that supports passive mode should be low with discounts for long-term renewals
