Create a Candidate Profile from a Resume

Recruiters can upload the candidate's resume to PeopleFluent Recruiting Portal and autopopulate specific fields to create a candidate profile.  The resume is saved as an attachment in its original format (ex. .pdf, .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt)  to the new candidate profile.

The resume parsing web service extracts the following information from the resume which then populates the fields on the Create Candidate window. However, the formatting of a resume may impact what fields are populated.

  • First Name

  • State/Province

  • Middle Name

  • Zip Code

  • Last name

  • Home Phone

  • Suffix

  • Work Phone

  • Address Lines 1, 2, 3

  • Mobile Phone

  • City

  • Email Address

  1. Note: Education and Work are not extracted from the uploaded resume.

Once the resume is uploaded, the web service checks for the following:

Limitations

The resume parsing web service does not process tables and graphics contained within an uploaded PDF resume. The web service removes any graphics within a PDF resume. In addition, the web service removes tables from a resume, but the data contained within the tables are preserved.
