Why certain Resumes are taking too much time for parsing?

There are a few resumes that have some content that takes more time for processing. Majorly below are the reason for taking a long time for parsing:-

1. Document conversion

Our parser simply converts every resume document into a text form before parsing. If the document is not mentioned in a proper format, document conversion will take more time. The moment document conversion takes a longer time, the overall parsing time gets affected due to document dependency on the size, content, images, and type of document. For better performance during document conversions, we always advise our clients to parse simple and precise documents. An increase in document complexity will increase the chances of a decrease in performance.

2. Field extraction

The field extraction depends on the format of data and the way in which data is written in the resume. The mentioned data in the resume should not be jumbled. For a 'jumbled text/parallel format field', data extraction is more difficult. So, it may take a longer time for processing. We recommend that the candidate must use a simple format in his/her CV’s. The information should be written properly in the resume, required information should not be missed by the candidate, similar fields should be written in a similar format like multiple experiences/dates/education, etc. and these must be written in the same way.
