What is Resume Parsing?
Resume parsing is a technique based on OCR that automatically reads resumes. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that recognizes text within a digital image. Resume Parsing intervenes in the pre-qualification of applicants and allows to find the best talents in a minimum of time. Parsing analyzes the CV and extracts data from the document to insert it into a spreadsheet or into a customized software program in order to structure and classify them.
