The challenges behind parsing & matching CVs and jobs - Textkernel

For the human eye reading a CV (resume) or a job ad is an easy task. These semi-structured documents are usually separated in sections and have layouts that makes it easy to quickly identify important information. In contrast, a computer system that parses CVs needs to be continuously trained and adapted to deal with the endless expressivity of human language. As a leader in the field of language technology, Textkernel is working hard to provide the best CV parser to our customers. In this blog article I will explain how we achieve this and discuss the focus of our current research efforts.
