HIRING GLOSSARY
Resume Parsing
Definition
Resume parsing is when software automatically reads an uploaded resume and extracts the key details - name, contact information, work history, education, and skills - into structured fields. It saves you from retyping information from every application by hand. Parsed resumes make candidates easier to search, sort, and compare inside an ATS.
Also called: CV parsing, resume extraction.
