When the same employer name is fetched for different job profiles, especially in a resume parsing or job data extraction context, it typically occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:
🔍 1. Multiple Roles at the Same Company
Scenario: A candidate worked in different positions over time at the same organization.
Why it happens:
-
Resume parsers often identify a parent employer and list multiple job titles or roles under it.
-
For example:
Expected behavior: The parser should maintain the employer name constant while extracting different job titles under it.
🧠 2. Section Misinterpretation
Scenario: The resume format confuses the parser.
Why it happens:
-
Poor formatting or inconsistent structure (e.g., missing dates or headers) can lead the parser to duplicate the employer across job sections.
Result:
-
The parser may wrongly assume that each job title starts a new employment block, and copy the employer name each time.
📄 3. Template or CV Builder Issues
Scenario: Candidates use structured CV templates.
Why it happens:
-
Tools like Canva or Zety might embed employer data in a way that repeats or mislabels it across multiple fields, making the parser think it's separate entries.
🛠️ 4. Parser Configuration/Logic
Scenario: Parser logic is not tuned for multiple roles under one employer.
Why it happens:
-
Some resume parsers are rule-based and not designed to recognize a nested job structure.
-
If job roles are not indented or grouped under one company, the parser could extract the same employer name repeatedly.
✅ Recommended Actions
-
Check resume formatting: Make sure each employer groups roles clearly, ideally with dates and hierarchy.
-
Parser enhancement:
-
Use NLP models that detect hierarchical job history.
-
Implement employer-role nesting logic.
-
-
Validation layer: Post-processing rules can help deduplicate or associate job roles with a single employer intelligently.
