Resume parsing is the process of extracting relevant information from a resume to help employers quickly assess a candidate's qualifications. This technology uses algorithms to identify key details such as work experience, education, skills, and contact information, converting unstructured data into a structured format. By automating this process, companies can streamline their hiring efforts, making it easier to sort through large volumes of applications. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) often incorporate resume parsing to enhance efficiency, allowing recruiters to focus on the most suitable candidates for a position.
