Frequently asked questions:
In a nutshell, it is a technology used to extract information from a resume or a CV.
Modern resume parsers leverage multiple AI neural networks and data science techniques to extract structured data. Typical fields being extracted relate to a candidate’s personal details, work experience, education, skills and more, to automatically create a detailed candidate profile. The extracted data can be used for a range of applications from simply populating a candidate in a CRM, to candidate screening, to full database search. These tools can be integrated into a software or platform, to provide near real time automation.
1.Automatically completing candidate profiles
Automatically populate candidate profiles, without needing to manually enter information
2.Candidate screening
Filter and screen candidates, based on the fields extracted. Sort candidates by years experience, skills, work history, highest level of education, and more. Extracted data can be used to create your very own job matching engine.
3.Database creation and search
Get more from your database. It is not uncommon for an organisation to have thousands, if not millions, of resumes in their database. Resume parsing can be used to create a structured candidate information, to transform your resume database into an easily searchable and high-value asset

- Competing solutions are typically either integrated into your core offering, or sold as an optional add on via your marketplace.
- Job boards can streamline the candidate application process, but automatically extracting candidate information from resumes, quickly
- Pre-populated profiles can then simply be checked by an applicant, reducing the time they spend applying for a job, and improving your conversion
- In addition, an existing database of resumes can be mined, to create a database of structured data. This itself is a high-value asset to any job board, as it provides meaningful group-level insights about candidates
- Recruitment firms can receive hundreds of applications, for each job posting. This tool can be used to save time and place more candidates
- Manually creating profiles for each applicant is time consuming and tedious. Affinda can be used to automatically create candidate profiles.
- Reviewing each resume can be time consuming, but by leveraging our solution, a recruiter can rapidly screen candidates based on the characteristics that are most important for the role, e.g. years experience, industries worked in, highest level of education, and more.
- In addition, a database created by an automated AI solution outperforms when applying a traditional recruitment technology such as semantic search.
- Whether you’re building a database, or looking to streamline a process, integrated parsing can provide high-value functionality.
- Investing in building a custom solution requires a significant time investment, an existing database of resumes, and expertise in artificial intelligence and data science
- Hiring teams must evaluate large numbers of applications for every job they post. A resume parsing solution, on the other hand, can batch-process these applications, freeing up time for more important tasks.
- It takes hours to hand-code a unique profile for every candidate. By using automated deep-learning analysis, an organization can create candidate profiles by the hundreds, in a very short time.

Good intelligent document processing requires a combination of technologies and approaches.
Our solution uses deep transfer learning in combination with recent open source language models, to segment, section, identify, and extract relevant fields:
- We use image-based object detection and proprietary algorithms developed over several years to segment and understand the document, to identify correct reading order, and ideal segmentation.
- The structural information is then embedded in downstream sequence taggers which perform Named Entity Recognition (NER) to extract key fields.
- Each document section is handled by a separate neural network.
- Post-processing of fields to clean up location data, phone numbers and more.
- Comprehensive skills matching using semantic matching and other data science techniques
- To ensure optimal performance, all our models are trained on our database of thousands of English language resumes.

We can build you your own parsing tool with custom fields, specific to your industry or the role you’re sourcing. Simply get in touch here!
Biases can influence interest in candidates based on gender, age, education, appearance, or nationality. Blind hiring involves removing candidate details that may be subject to bias. This allows you to objectively focus on the important stuff—like skills, experience, related projects. Affinda has the ability to customise output to remove bias, and even amend the resumes themselves, for a bias-free screening process. We use this process internally and it has led us to the fantastic and diverse team we have today! Please get in touch if this is of interest.
