AI-Powered Resume Parsing: Revolutionizing Recruitment with Automated Data Extraction

Automated Resume Information Extraction: A Potential Innovation by Business Automation

In today's fast-paced hiring environment, recruiters sift through thousands of resumes daily. Manual data extraction is time-consuming and prone to errors. The ML team at Business Automation has developed an advanced resume information extraction system that accurately retrieves key details such as name, email, phone number, education, experience, and skills using PaddleOCR, PyMuPDF, and Large Language Models (LLMs).

Technology Stack

• PaddleOCR: High-accuracy Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for extracting text from scanned PDF resumes.
• PyMuPDF: A lightweight PDF processing library that retrieves text from structured and unstructured resumes.
• Large Language Models (LLMs): Analyze extracted text and precisely identify key candidate details.

How It Works

1. Text Extraction: PyMuPDF scans and retrieves raw text from the resume.
2. OCR Processing: PaddleOCR enhances text recognition for scanned resumes.
3. Data Structuring: The extracted text is processed using an LLM to classify and structure key details.
4. Output Generation: The system provides structured JSON data, ready for integration into Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
