Screen Candidates with Structured Resume Data
Apply the same criteria to every applicant
Manual screening is inconsistent: reviewers tire, and different recruiters apply different standards to the same role.
Resume Parser gives you structured fields for every applicant: roles with dates, educations, locations, links, and languages, plus markdown role descriptions. Your own screening logic runs against those fields and applies the same rules to everyone. The parser does not screen or rank candidates itself.
How it works
- 1
Define criteria per role
Decide what is required (for example a language at a stated level or a minimum number of years in similar roles) and what is a preference.
- 2
Parse every application
Send each PDF to the API. Responses can take up to 60 seconds.
- 3
Apply your rules
Your code evaluates the fields and the description text against the criteria and produces a shortlist.
- 4
Recruiter reviews the shortlist
People make the decision; the structured data shows why each candidate was flagged.
Key benefits
Same rules for every applicant
Criteria evaluated in code apply identically to the first and the last application.
Computable experience
Numeric start and end dates let you calculate time in each role.
Languages with levels
Languages listed on the CV come back with their stated levels.
Frequently asked questions
No. It returns structured data. Screening and ranking logic is yours.
There is no skills field. Search the markdown description of each role for the skill and add up the durations of those roles.
That depends on your criteria and jurisdiction. Use job-relevant criteria, apply them consistently, keep a human in the decision, and check the rules that apply to you.
