Resume parsing

Extracting information from a resume into structured fields that a recruiter can review before using it in a candidate record.

Resume parsing extracts information from a resume into a proposed candidate profile. It helps prepare data for review; it does not establish that the information is correct or make a hiring decision.

What to check

Compare identity, contact details, employment history, education, and specialty information with the source document. A heading or reference contact can be mistaken for candidate information, and dates can be associated with the wrong entry. Complete or remove blank employer and education entries before saving.

In resume-assisted candidate creation, extraction fills empty fields. Review information entered earlier as well, because extraction is not confirmation that every existing value matches the document. Inspect confidence and duplicate warnings rather than accepting the proposed profile without comparison.

After review

Create or update the appropriate record only when the identity and required information are established. A successful extraction does not replace credential verification, candidate-interest confirmation, or job-specific screening. Use the candidate-creation guide for individual entry and the import guide for resume batches. Check the saved record before beginning outreach or matching.
