How to extract resume information into an administrative record
Resume extraction helps organize a person's stated experience and qualifications for review. Its purpose is to preserve the supplied record, not to infer abilities or make a hiring decision.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- the user's resume text or an authorized applicant's visible text resume.
- The intended result
- Extract explicitly stated skills, roles and dates without ranking candidates or inferring traits.
How the workflow works.
Keep employers, roles, dates and qualifications attached to the relevant experience entry. Distinguish the applicant's own statements from information that has been independently verified.
What to check in the result.
Check dates, overlaps and missing details against the original resume. Do not infer age, nationality or other personal traits from a name, education entry or career timeline.
Import the CSV with a consistent delimiter and inspect text identifiers, dates and amounts before using spreadsheet totals. Keep the original file available while checking any automatic type conversion.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable CSV example uses these columns: Record type, Value, Start, End, Evidence. Compare a complete record with the source before sorting, combining or importing your own output.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.
