Resume Parser Project Guide

Recruiters spend hours manually reading resumes to extract key candidate information. Parsing large volumes of resumes manually is error-prone and inefficient. Resume parsing automation using NLP can streamline this process by automatically extracting structured information such as personal details, educational qualifications, skills, and work experience, saving significant time and resources for HR departments and recruitment agencies.

By using NLP techniques like Named Entity Recognition (NER), keyword extraction, and pattern matching, we can intelligently parse resumes into structured JSON formats. Libraries like SpaCy, PyPDF2, or custom trained models allow parsing resumes even from PDFs or DOCX formats. Extracted fields can be indexed into databases, making candidate searches faster and matching candidates to jobs automatically using AI-powered resume processing workflows.

The system uploads a resume file (PDF/DOCX), extracts raw text using parsing libraries, processes it using NLP models, and identifies key fields like Name, Contact Info, Skills, Experience, and Education. These fields are saved in a structured database or JSON format for easy searching and matching. Fine-tuning NER models or designing keyword templates enhances accuracy even when resumes follow different structures or templates.

• Collect resumes in varied formats (PDF, DOCX, TXT) for building training and testing datasets.
• Preprocess: extract raw text using libraries like PyMuPDF, pdfminer, or python-docx, clean unwanted formatting.
• Use SpaCy’s pre-trained models or train custom entity extraction pipelines for fields like Name, Skills, Experience, Education, etc.
• Evaluate using field extraction accuracy, entity-level precision-recall, and manual validation tests.
• Deploy the system where HR teams or career portals can upload resumes and instantly view extracted candidate profiles.
