How to Extract Details from a Resume

Upload the CV and collect the candidate details you need for your worksheet.

1

Upload the resume

Add a PDF or DOCX resume, or a readable image of one. Include the pages covering experience and education.

2

Choose the review format

Select Content extraction for the full readable resume, or Table extraction for factual records. Use Field preferences for relevant candidate details.

3

Process and check the facts

Click Process files. Check names, contact details, employer-role relationships, dates, and education against the source.

4

Export for your recruiting workflow

Save text or Markdown for review notes, or export extracted tables to Excel or CSV for your own candidate worksheet.

Collecting the Same Details from Every Resume?

CV layouts vary, but your candidate sheet still needs names, contact details, and work history.

Work history in different layouts
Dates and job titles may sit in columns, timelines, or project sections. You need them attached to the right employer.
Skills listed in several sections
A skills list and a role description provide different context for the same term.
Details that are not stated
Some resumes omit dates or contact information. Your record needs to distinguish an omission from an extraction error.
