With the Candidate Experience module activated, you and the candidates can simplify the input of application data through CV-Parsing.

The data provided by the candidates in their application documents is read and automatically transferred to your application form. The candidates or you only need to check whether all fields are filled in and everything has been recognized correctly.

The photo is also read and displayed as a photo in the candidate's application. So, without any additional effort, you have a face to the name if a photo was sent or could be extracted from the resume.

Reading the data also affects the full-text search. For example, if candidates have listed the location "Hintertupfingen" in their vocational school certificate, you can find this location via the full-text search.


Note  

In some cases, CV-Parsing returns incomplete or no results at all. This is mostly due to document formatting, unusual terms for career stages, or the file format in which the resume was saved. A Word document saved as a PDF does not cause any issues. However, if a resume has been inserted into a PDF file as an image (e.g., .jpg or .png), the background information of the content is lost and cannot be read. A password or write protection also prevents data extraction.

CV-Parsing on the candidate's side

Candidates can activate parsing when they click the following options on the pre-application page:

  • Use XING profile
  • Use LinkedIn profile
  • Upload resume
  • Resume in Dropbox

CV-Parsing triggered by you

You can activate parsing by sending an application to your d.vinci.


Parsing through the Message Inbox

  1. Open the message inbox.
  2. Click on the application you want to process. The details of the message, including the attachments, will be displayed.
  3. Click the + Application button to process the application. The File for automatic application filling window will be displayed if multiple documents are attached.
  4. Select the resume so that the data can be extracted from it.
  5. The data will be extracted once you click the Extract data button. After a while, the Application processing form will appear.
  6. Review the entered data and add any missing information. The Splitscreen can help you with this.
  7. Click the  Save button to store the application.


Parsing through the email address in the application

You can send documents to the email address listed in the application under the Attachments tab. When sending to this address, it's important to also press the corresponding button to extract the data  .


If too few data are recognized during the initial parsing, feel free to trigger the data extraction again. Follow these steps:

  • Open the application. The Application page with the candidate's details will be displayed.
  • Click the Attachments tab. The Application page with the open tab will be displayed.
  • Click the data extraction icon  . Wait for a moment. The Application page with the open Attachments tab and a success notice for the parsing will be displayed.
