Resume Parsing

Resume Parsing in Zoho Recruit automatically extracts candidate data from uploaded resume files into structured fields, supporting bulk import and duplicate detection.

Resume Parsing in Zoho Recruit is the automated extraction of candidate information from a resume file into structured data fields in the candidate record. When a resume is uploaded or received via email or job board, Zoho Recruit’s parser reads the document and populates name, contact details, education, work history, and skills without manual entry.

How Resume Parsing Works in Zoho Recruit

Zoho Recruit’s resume parser supports PDF, DOC, and DOCX formats. When a file is uploaded, the parser identifies sections such as education, work experience, skills, and contact details, then maps each piece of data to the corresponding field on the candidate record. Extracted data can be reviewed and corrected by the recruiter before saving.

Bulk Resume Import

Zoho Recruit allows bulk resume import where a recruiter can upload a folder of resumes and have all of them parsed and converted to candidate records simultaneously. This is useful after a recruitment drive or when migrating candidate data from a legacy system. Duplicates are flagged automatically during the import process.

Example: After a campus hiring event at an engineering college in Pune, the recruiter uploads 120 resumes to Zoho Recruit in bulk. The parser creates 120 candidate records in minutes, extracting CGPA, project skills, and contact details. Duplicate entries from students who applied before are flagged for review.
