Google search turns up a number of commercial options

For open source there is

which are rules based. A modern approach would be to use a model like T5

Training something like that would take a few thousand resumes though.

Thanks for replying. However not getting exact parser matching my needs.

OpenResume doesn't have good accuracy. Some are just too heavy, and need heavy setup/training.

I am looking for a lightweight tool with ability to test through GUI beforehand.

Anthropic Claude?
I am not sure I need such advanced models for basic parsing. I am even content with 80% accuracy with easy-to-use set up.
