This is
worth studying.
In www.RecruitGuru.com , our Resume Parsing
software ( GuruMine ), did have a functionality to extract entire “ blocks “
from any resume , depending upon their “ headings / titles “.
In fact,
“values” of those 23 “ fields “ were searched only in that block , which was
most likely to contain that value. Eg:” BA / B Com / B Sc” etc were most
likely to be found in the block ( paragraph ), titled “ Education /
Qualification “ etc.
Cvmaker.in
enables a jobseeker to create such “ blocks / paragraphs “ by letting him,
first select the “ Title “ . Once he has created a “ block “, he can then write
appropriate description within that block.
Many years
back I wrote a note on such a concept- except my “ context “ was not the
jobseekers but the Recruiters.
It is just
too much to expect that millions of jobseekers will
Ø construct their resumes having
several “ blocks “ , all titled identically
Ø then they will arrange these blocks
in an identical “ order / sequence “
Truth is
Ø All resumes do contain between 5 to
10 distinct blocks
Ø These blocks do carry titles /
headings which are same or similar ( synonyms )
Ø The blocks are arranged in thousands
of permutations / combinations
This makes
a recruiter’s life miserable !
Depending
upon the “ vacancy / position “ to be filled, a recruiter is primarily
interested in looking-up just 1 or 2 blocks out of the entire resume at the
very beginning, to decide whether that particular resume is worth reading in
full or not.
Eg:
For a
position of “ Head of R&D “ in a Process Plant, the very first thing that a
recruiter wants to know is : Does this candidate have a Ph. D. in Chemistry ? (
clearly mentioned in Advt ).If not, forget !
As a
result, a recruiter must search-out the “ Education / Qualification / Academics
“ block from within all resumes received and read those blocks FIRST.
But these
blocks are randomly “ scattered “ all over those hundreds of resumes ! A lot of
time gets wasted in locating / searching for those blocks.
Now imagine
that we develop a software which
Ø Separates the blocks , title-wise
( what RecruitGuru.com already does )
Ø Enables the recruiters to “Customize
“ all resumes where “ Education “ block appears right at the TOP ! or any block
of his choice.
Ø Enable the recruiters to make all
blocks to “ re-arrange “ in a pre-determined
sequence
Ø Does all these with a single click for for all of those incoming resumes
Such a
software would save the recruiters a lot of time in screening-out useless
resumes.
Such a
software would enable recruiters / organization to “ focus “ on that
particular aspect of each resume which is most critical for their respective
companies.
We must
incorporate this “ Re-arranging of Blocks of Resumes
“ functionality in the downloadable Resume Parser
tool- when we start working on it
