Multilingual CV parsing to easily capture applicant data
Get more applicants, save time on manual data entry and easily build a talent pool. Extract!, Textkernel’s CV parsing (resume parsing) software uses advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to automatically turn every CV or social media profile into a complete and searchable candidate record.
What is CV parsing?
CV parsing, also called resume parsing or CV extraction, is the process of converting an unstructured (or “free-form”) CV/resume/social media profile into a structured format that can be integrated into any software system and made searchable. CV parsing eliminates manual data entry, allows candidates to apply via any device and enables better search results.

Normalisation and ontologies
Extract! CV parsing is able to map extracted values to (hierarchical) taxonomies. One of our key strengths is our ability to quickly build custom taxonomies for specific clients or industries together with our partners and customers. We also offer standard taxonomies. The software can be configured to do automatic taxonomy updates, so our parsing software and your back-end are always in sync. Besides mapping extracted values to taxonomies and standard skills extraction, Extract! is able to do fuzzy lookups in the text of CVs based on predetermined domain or industry-specific lists of skills.
File types and data output
Extract! can handle a wide variety of commonly used document formats such as DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF, HTML, TIFF, TXT, XML and EML. It can also process image files such as hard-copy CV scans. In addition, the software is able to extract data from social media profiles, including LinkedIn, Xing and Viadeo. Extracted CV or social media profile data can be modelled in any format you wish. Textkernel supports all current standard formats.
Powered by AI and Machine Learning
AI (artificial intelligence) and Machine Learning technologies are at the core of our product development. In order to identify information from CVs and profiles, our extraction engine learns to create “rules” within its machine-learning algorithms by analysing large amounts of data. This technology results in parsing models that are more accurate and robust than parsing based on rules devised by human beings. Furthermore, new languages can be added more easily. For further information on our machine-learning technologies and our recent and exciting usage of Deep Learning, see the technology page.
Data privacy
For Textkernel, privacy is of the utmost importance. It is possible to use our software both as a web-based application (in the cloud) or locally installed (on-site). For the web-based version (SaaS—Software as a Service), where data transits through our servers, we comply with a strict privacy agreement. With each new customer, we sign a data processing contract ensuring that data is not distributed to third parties or used in any other way than agreed upon.
