The two-column output is only moderate quality: core fields are present, but title truncation, noisy skills, and incomplete task extraction reduce usability.
What was measured
Output quality
Is the parsed result clean, complete, and usable overall?
decisive for this rankingtransformation
The whole point is usable structured extraction; clean, complete, usable output is the core measure of success. (3 of 3 judges)
What was given, what came back
Test input: Multi-column sidebar resume — Priya Sharma · pdf · group: resume-parsing
Input — what we sent
Multi-column sidebar resume — Priya Sharma
A two-column sidebar resume for Priya Sharma, used to test whether parsers can preserve reading order and correctly extract content split across columns.
Why this input is hard
- · multi-column layout handling
- · sidebar content extraction
- · reading-order robustness
- · projects extraction
- · languages and certifications extraction
Output — unretouched

Accuracy◐ MixedOn the two-column resume, it truncates the job title, dropping the '— ML' suffix from 'Software Engineer — ML'.Multi-column handling◐ MixedIt can read a two-column/sidebar resume without crashing and pull content from both columns, but the parse is not perfectly layout-stable.Noise in output✗ FailedIt pollutes the skills list with project fragments such as 'parse 500', 'real-time sales forecasting dashboard', 'automation tool', 'aws lambda + s3', 'ci', and 'cd'.

Airparser◐ MixedProduces structured JSON, but the skills section loses its original category grouping and comes back as a flat list.Extracta.ai✓ WorkedReturns an excellent, clean JSON result that captures both columns completely and avoids irrelevant metadata.Hireability✗ FailedOutput quality collapsed on the two-column resume because the parser produced a job-order-style structure instead of a candidate resume structure.LlamaParse✓ WorkedThe multi-column output was clean and complete overall, with fully extracted work histories, projects, certifications, and languages.OpenResume◐ MixedText extraction is largely correct, but the overall result is only moderate because the two-column layout produces significant work-experience mapping errors.Skima AI◐ MixedThe two-column output was only moderately usable: core contact and work-history fields were present, but sidebar skills/certifications/languages, projects, and GPA were missing or poorly handled.
