Parseit
Delivered on shared hosting in PHP, which is what the client's environment supported.
Screening a few hundred resumes by hand is the bottleneck in agency recruiting, and the documents arrive as a mix of PDFs, Word files and scans with no text layer at all.
The working parts
Each of these exists in the delivered system, not on a roadmap.
Client portal
Lodge a screening job with matching keywords and the fields to extract, track lodged, active and completed counts, and manage your own staff accounts.
Operator back office
A separate application with its own login for the service provider: client account management, every client's jobs, and the queue of work in progress.
Bulk upload and download
Multi-file upload for a whole batch, and selected resumes zipped on the fly for download.
Matching and not-matching buckets
Processed resumes are returned into two labelled sets per job, so the recruiter reads the shortlist rather than the batch.
Document parsing with OCR fallback
Word documents convert to PDF headlessly, text is extracted directly, and anything that yields no contact details is re-run through OCR rather than silently dropped.
Field extraction
Name, email, phone and date of birth pulled from the document, with the client choosing per job which of those they want.
Multi-tenant account structure
Client companies own their own staff users, and operator staff are separated into admin and super-admin roles.
