It would be quite unlikely that anyone will expect you to write an app that can do this with any reasonable amount of success because there is no standard structure for a resume. While you can reduce nearly all resumes to some form of text data, interpreting that data itself would require some kind of language-capable AI programming.

You could try some heuristic approaches like extracting an email address out or say phone numbers, and even the name may be guessable (although not 100% guaranteed), but you really cannot parse out skillsets just like that. But you could do the reverse, you could have a predefined list of keywords that you need (like say Java, Database, OOP, etc.) and then search the resume text for these keywords. If there are enough search hits, then you can make a rough guess as to whether the resume is suitable or not.

And then you could store your search findings in your HR database.

I knew the standard for Resume/CV exist, saw it before but was not sure about standard status.

Here is what I found:
http://www.hr-xml.org/[^],
see also:
http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net/[^],
http://ns.hr-xml.org/2_4/HR-XML-2_4/SEP/Resume.html#_Toc127541910[^].

This is a recommendations for the standard HR-XML of 2006. I still don't know the status of the standardization. Anyway, could be a topic for future development.

Amazing. An XML standard for resumes!

(even meaningless questions have their uses, I've gained something from this :))

D'OH!!! Cookie cutter resumes. (I'm shaking my head, just so you know). Let's take away all of the ways someone can be an individual with personality while looking for work. I got plenty an interview when I was younger and inexperienced solely because my resume was visually more impressive then the average.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-Feb-11 14:44pm

So true. I simply chase every single recruiter and wait until a representative of a company calls. This is the only way. If you look at my resume, you will see: 99% of false positives, almost nothing about real work. Worst signal-to-noise; and no technology can help.

By the way Sergey, did you get the link I sent last night?
(I'll be away from CP most of the time today, replies will be delayed)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-Feb-11 3:26am

Indivara, sorry, I failed to get them.

Something was wrong with your messages. I preserved my e-mail notification to sort it our later.
In e-mail there are your messages about the link, but not the link. When I go to CodeProject following the URL in e-mail notification, I cannot see even the messages I could see in notification. I think you also sent me "test". What it was?

If this is something important and if some data is lost, as an option you could send me a message directly, through my Web site found in my profile.

No such code exists unfortunately, you will have to write it yourself.

I'm telling, I saw some codes. Please see my answer. I'm not sure it was related to HR-XML standard (may be some other), but likely it was.

Assuming everyone uses that standard. I never saw any such standards in 40+ years of working in the UK, and I doubt that anyone is using it yet.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-Feb-11 11:57am

No wonder. First of all, all that stuff with searching candidates by keyword in resume is 90% pointless, but even when it makes some useful selection, I see who are those people working in recruiting. About 99% of complete idiots, having troubles downloading a resume, asking for "DOC" only, etc. What HR-XML or something?
