If you're the average employee like me, at one point during your application days you may have wondered how Human Resources get’s so much done, with little effort. You may have gotten your job thru a recruitment or job fair, an event where companies look for potential talent to hire. With so many applications received, did you manage to ask how does HR sift through all this information?

       The magic lies in the software that recruiters use. Sure, they receive your application face to face, and they may ask for soft copies. No two resumes are the same – from content to format and word usage. So how do recruiters tell which candidates are qualified and which are not?

Resume parsing is the answer. It's such a powerful tool that allows recruiters to screen talent efficiently. Resume parsing programs like the ones RChilli has are able to extract data from resumes, no matter what format they are in. Important fields such as demographics, job experiences, and key skills are automatically populated in the database, for easy reference by the recruiters. Ultimately, the skills needed in the job openings are met by candidates who possess these qualities.

       The bottom line: More usable data and less operating cost. This is perhaps the perfect combination for recruitment companies. Data is used more efficiently, matching job openings with the specific talent available. Plus, recruitment companies do work faster, thus saving time and resources. All these benefits come from using resume parsing software like RChilli.

       Recruiters really cannot imagine working without resume parsing. Ideally they want to meticulously screen all resumes and applications, but due to obvious time and efficiency constraints, they simply cannot. Thankfully, RChilli gives them a convenient, yet equally effective choice. No wonder resume parsers are called recruitment life savers!
