RESUME PARSING & RECRUITMENT AUTOMATION

Resume Parsing is an important milestone in Recruitment Technology.
Software with Resume Parsing helps you store information about the candidates profile input into a few fields and store them with profiles.

What is Resume Parsing?
Software trying to read a profile and understand what is what in the profile? Then based on its understanding it stores these data against the respective fields in the recruitment software.

The Problem in Resume Parsing: ----
There is no universal format of Resume writing. For example: Is name always the top part of the Resume – where in the Resume will be the mobile number or email id, left corner / right corner/ 1st page/ last page etc.

Hence every resume is written on the individual style choice of the candidate. So data reading of resume by software misfires and wrong input of data is very common in Resume parsing.

Is there any solution to this or an Alternative?

Well, we at RecruitPro 360 have tried an alternative.

Store all your resumes in RecruitPro 360, without any auto fill-up of any fields. We give you a magic search, which will read the resume like a Resume parser does and gives you the search results in few seconds. For example, In the magic search type “Oracle 11i” in the skill set field and it will search for resumes that have oracle 11i under their skill set header in resume and display all those candidates in search result.

Benefits in this Alternative: Time taken to transfer Data to software is even less than that of a Resume Parser.
No candidate will be missed due to wrong data input in fields. For example a candidate has mentioned both Chennai and Coimbatore address in his profile and Resume parser could input either of the location in the location field like Coimbatore and you could miss him in Chennai search and someone else could place the candidate. (Most of this software does not have option to search within Resume).

In RecruitPro 360, the candidate will not be missed in Chennai search as it is searching the Resume every time. Search within the resume even for profiles with field data input (in case of excel import & profiles attached) is another wonderful feature.

Also the option to right-click and select field avoids the need of typing data and ensures 0% data entry error. These features along the 100% customisation of fields is main feature that makes RecruitPro 360 one step above the rest.

The best part is that, this extensive search result is drawn out is seconds and there is not any kind of delay because of this wonderful search feature.

Your comments and opinions on this alternative we have tried for Resume Parsing would be much appreciated.
