Prerequisites

The CV parser service does not rely on any access level restrictions for the eRecruiter API. If the mandator is configured for CV parsing services, it can be used after successful authentication with the API.

CV-Parsing

eRecruiter supports two different CV parsers via the API. The mandator setting holds information about which one is in use. This setting can be changed in the eRecruiter application. You can find the setting at the administration area at the mandator settings in the CV parser section.

POST Api/CvParser

Next, find a short description about the available parsers:

• CVparser (by eRecruiter): Basically is able extract general applicant information from an CV. This is the standard parser which is used by default.

• CVLizer (3rd party): This is a professional CV parser. It's able to extract precisely parsed information from the CV, like general applicant information, education, skills, ...

Result

After parsing the CV the API will return the general information (name, adress, photo, ...). Both types of parsers are able to extract this data, there is no great impact of the choosen one. Howerver, in general, there is a higher potential mistake rate using the CVparser than the CVLiver.
