Ask HN: Do you use an API for parsing resumes?

8 points by bckygldstn ↗ HN
I’m currently productising my master’s thesis into an API for parsing resumes (pulling info like contact details and work experience out of pdf/word and into structured json/xml).

If that’s something you’d be interested in or currently use then I’d be greatful for some feedback:

* For what do/would you use a resume-parsing service?

* Most important features you look for?

* Is there a need you have that isn’t met?

Thanks HN! If you'd like to chat more, my contact details are in my profile.

I've used Sovren for an applicant tracking system, accuracy is good but could be better, support for HRXML is a must.
