Do you extract the Gap period from the experience of the candidate?

RChilli's Resume Parser API extracts structured work experience data from resumes, including:

• Job titles

• Companies

• Start and end dates of employment

• Locations

• Descriptions

Using the start and end dates of each job entry, the parser calculates the total experience in months and years. If there are breaks or intervals between two consecutive employment periods, these are identified as gap periods.

According to RChilli documentation:

“RChilli parses the start and end dates from each job/experience section in a resume. Based on the extracted employment data, the experience is calculated in months. The total number of months of experience is then converted into years (if applicable).”

Additionally, the Search & Match API can use these extracted ExperienceInMonths fields to:

• Filter candidates based on experience range

• Match candidates to jobs with specific experience requirements

Recommendations

• To get gap data explicitly, make sure the resume has clearly mentioned date formats.

• Use the reqexperiencedrill flag as true in API settings to get segregated experience blocks for more accurate calculations.
