What is Resume Parsing?

Resume parsing is a technology used in the field of human resources and recruitment to extract relevant information from job applicants' resumes or CVs and convert it into a structured format that can be easily stored, searched, and analyzed by applicant tracking systems (ATS) and other software applications.

Software for parsing resumes uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning methods to identify and classify information like contact details, employment history, education, and abilities.

The recruiting process is streamlined and applicant screening and selection are made more effective by storing this structured data in a manner that is simple to search, analyze, and integrate into other HR and recruitment platforms.
