Our system calculates the total years of experience primarily from the "Experience" section. This is determined based on the duration of employment for each listed job, from the start date to the end date, and then aggregated across all positions. The calculation reflects the cumulative time the candidate has worked across different companies, expressed in years and months.
If a candidate explicitly states their experience (e.g., "11+ years," "16+ years") in the summary or other sections, this information is also extracted. We compare this stated experience with the calculated experience, and the higher value is taken as the candidate's total years of experience.
Note: The parser outputs the years of experience as a string, not a decimal. For example, if the parser extracts "4.7 years," it indicates 4 years and 7 months.
Example Calculation:
Single Job Period:
Work Experience: XYZ Company - Intern Developer Jan 2017 - Nov 2021 |
Total Experience = 4 years and 11 months (or 4.11 years).
Handling Overlapping Job Periods:
Work Experience: XYZ Company - Intern Developer Period: July 2024 - Aug 2024 XYZ Company - Intern Developer Period: July 2024 - Aug 2024 |
For overlapping roles, we calculate each period separately and then add them. For example:
Period: Jan 2023 to Present
Experience: Jan 2023 - Dec 2023 = 12 months
Jan 2024 - Nov 2024 = 11 months
Period: July 2024 - Aug 2024
Experience: 1 month
Total Experience Calculation:
Total Experience in Months = 23 months
Total Experience in Years = 1 year and 11 months (or 1.11 years).
This method ensures accurate and consistent experience calculation across all job entries, including overlapping periods.
