Recruit So Simple Features spotlight

September 9th, 2024 | Company News Industry News

CV parsing is a central element of the Recruit So Simple software suite, and it’s one that can be underutilised, so today we’re putting it centre stage.

What is CV parsing anyway?

A CV or resume parser is a software application that analyses each CV and restructures it, so your company can sort and process it in a standardised fashion that streamlines the hiring process.  Ideally it is part of a complete online recruitment software suite and works closely alongside the applicant tracking system, UK or international in focus, to allow a recruiter to offer candidates a more efficient and swift experience and to give clients an unbiased, coherent overview of potential candidates

The parsing tool allows you to search each CV for specific keywords or phrases, or can serve as a filter, bringing forward the most relevant CVs or resumes in relation to each job profile. You can even tailor the CV parsing tool to find specific information such as second languages, community/charity activities or specific interests.

Why is CV parsing important to effective recruiting?

• Efficiency – because the CV parsing tool organises CVs so relevant skills and information are easily recognisable, recruiters spend less time trying to find the right information in each application.
• Consistency – because the Recruit So Simple CV parser will handle a variety of formats, you can look at the valuable information in each CV, regardless of the format it was sent in.
• Less bias – while it’s difficult to eliminate bias entirely, a smart programme is more likely to identify all the potential candidates than a human reviewer, simply because we all have our own internal biases that we have to overcome.
• Integration – when your CV parsing comes fully integrated with your applicant tracking system (ATS) all the information about each client is conveniently located in one place.

The best recruitment software for agencies ensures that the recruitment process meets the needs of both clients and candidates. CV parsing is a tool that allows efficiency and clarity to be central to the experience of both sides of the hiring process. And because this software is an integral part of the Recruit So Simple platform, it’s a highly cost effective investment in effective recruitment.
