CV Parsing removes the need for manual entry of CV data into databases
For example, with typical admin positions, that are receiving around 60 applicants per job, according to research by personneltoday.com, most employers stand to gain a lot by making use of automated CV sifting technology, known as ‘CV Parsing’. Such technologies can automatically enter CVS that have been emailed or uploaded by candidates into a database, removing the need to do tedious and time consuming data entry.

Many systems are also able to score and rank CVs based on job criteria, effectively automating the CV short-listing process, which is one of the most labour intensive and time consuming parts of the hiring process.
