How does the AI Resume Parser work?

A quick explanation on how the resume parser works in Recruit CRM.

Written by Sanjana Panigrahi

What This Feature Does and When to Use It?

The AI Resume Parser in Recruit CRM extracts candidate information from resumes and creates candidate profiles instantly.

The parser will capture details such as the Candidate’s Name, Phone Number, Email, City, Full Address, Specialization, Work Experience Year, Work Experience Month, Current Organization, Title, Skills, Language Skills, Summary, Educational Qualification, Work and Education History and social medial URLs like Facebook URL, Twitter URL, LinkedIn URL, GitHub URL, Xing URL (if any).

It will also extract the candidate’s work and education history from their resume. Additionally, the parser works with the resumes received from:

  • Job Application Forms

  • Talent Pool Forms

  • As well as when candidates update their profile using the Profile Update Request Form.

This feature is especially useful for:

  • Reducing manual data entry during recruitment.

  • Quickly processing and parsing candidate resumes.

Note:


Updating Existing Candidate Profiles while parsing CV


When you parse a resume, Recruit CRM will first check if a candidate with the same Email ID, LinkedIn URL, or Contact Number already exists in your database.

  • If a match is found, the parser will update the existing profile.

  • Any empty fields in the profile will be filled with new information from the resume.

  • Existing data will not be overwritten by default.

The "Override Data" toggle, which allows new data to replace existing information, is *not* available when parsing individual resumes. This toggle is exclusively used during the bulk import process.


Step-by-Step Instructions


How to Parse a Resume in Recruit CRM:

  • Click the Import Candidate dropdown and choose Resume Parser to open the resume parsing option.

  • Upload the candidate resumes or simply drag and drop them into the parser window.

You can use our Boolean Search feature to search all the information in a candidate’s resume/CV.


FAQs


Will parsing a resume create a new candidate every time?

No. Recruit CRM first checks for existing candidates using the email address, LinkedIn URL, or contact number. If a match is found, the existing profile is updated instead of creating a duplicate candidate.

Conclusion

The AI Resume Parser in Recruit CRM helps recruiters save time and improve efficiency by automatically extracting and organizing candidate information from resumes. By reducing manual data entry and creating structured candidate profiles instantly, the feature helps streamline and simplify the recruitment process.
