What information is required to Parse a Resume or CV?

To ensure accurate and complete parsing by the RChilli Resume Parser, the resume must include at least one of the following core data blocks:

1. Personal Information

• Should include candidate's name, email address, phone number, and optionally, address.

• Name must begin with a capital letter. Names written in lowercase or using placeholder values such as “Test,” “Sample,” or “Demo” may be rejected.

• Valid contact details are essential—e.g., phone numbers must be in the correct format (e.g., 10-digit for US resumes).

2. Education Details

• Degree name is mandatory in the education section.

• The degree should be written in a standard, recognizable format (e.g., “Bachelor of Science in Computer Science”).

• Institution name and year (or date range) are helpful but not mandatory.

3. Experience Details

• Job title, employer name, and job period (start and end date) should be clearly stated.

• If the job period is missing, the parser may skip the experience block—even if employer and job title are present.

4. Skills Section

• At least one of the blocks—Skills, Experience, or Education—must be present.

• If none of these are found, the parser will return “No data found” or corrupted document status.

🛑 Important Parsing Behavior

• RChilli uses deep learning and NLP to intelligently identify relevant sections, but structured, clearly labeled content yields the best results.

• Common issues that prevent parsing include:

  • Placeholder data

  • Improper formatting (e.g., no section headers)

  • Missing critical fields like degree or job period
