Resume Parsing

Resume parsing is how an ATS extracts structured data from uploaded resumes so candidates can be screened and ranked.

Glossary

A plain-language definition from the Curriculo hiring glossary.

Candidates apply and their resumes are stored in the system. Modern ATS accepts PDF, DOCX, and plain text.

AI or keyword filters evaluate resumes against job requirements. Traditional ATS uses keyword matching; modern ATS like Curriculo ATS uses signal-based scoring.
