# Parseur

Template-driven resume parsing that returns clean JSON after one-time schema setup.

## TL;DR Verdict

**Good fit if you can define the schema first**

**Where it wins:**
- You can configure a mailbox and template before parsing resumes at scale.
- You want predictable field names and control over the returned schema.
- You need JSON, CSV, or Excel export after parsing.

**Main limitation:** You need automatic field discovery with no template design.

`Template setup required` · `JSON / CSV / Excel export` · `CGPA gaps observed` · `Flat list output`

> **Good fit if you can define the schema first**
>
> Parseur handled clean, multi-column, and messy PDF resumes well after one-time mailbox/template setup, and it exported data in JSON, CSV, and Excel. The recurring weaknesses were template-gated fields, CGPA not consistently landing in its own field, and list-like data such as skills and certifications being flattened rather than normalized.

## Feature-by-Feature Breakdown

### Schema-Guided Resume Parsing

**Verdict:** Works well after the initial setup step.

Parses PDF resumes using a predefined schema/template, extracting structured candidate fields from clean, multi-column, and messy resumes; the cards also show explicit field naming/control such as `linkedin_profile` and how list-like fields are shaped during extraction.

**Input:**

```
First-time template setup for a resume mailbox before parsing Input1_Rugved_Nichite_CleanResume.pdf.
```

**Output:**

```
Both work experiences were extracted with job title, company, start/end dates, and readable contribution strings on the clean resume.
```

**Input:**

**Output:**

```
The skills field preserved grouped labels such as Languages, AI/ML, Cloud, Frameworks, and Databases as one string rather than an array.
```

**Bottom line:** Semi-automated upfront, then repeatable once the mailbox/template is in place.

### Mailbox-Based PDF Ingestion

Routes PDF resumes through a mailbox/template workflow so the first run sets up the template and later incoming PDFs are processed automatically through that inbox flow.

**Output:**

**Bottom line:** Reliable PDF ingestion for a templated workflow, but not a zero-setup parser.

### Multi-Format Export

**Verdict:** Exports cover the common interchange formats.

Exports parsed records for downstream use in JSON, CSV, and Excel, with the same parsed data available through the download/export menu in multiple formats.

**Input:**

```
Open the Options & Download menu from a processed document.
```

**Output:**

**Bottom line:** Export coverage is simple and adequate for downstream systems.

## Is It Right For You?

**Use it if**
- You can configure a mailbox and template before parsing resumes at scale.
- You want predictable field names and control over the returned schema.
- You need JSON, CSV, or Excel export after parsing.

**Skip it if**
- You need automatic field discovery with no template design.
- You need normalized arrays for skills, certifications, or education history out of the box.
- You need CGPA, languages, or work-location captured without adding fields to the template.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Does Parseur require template setup before it can parse resumes?**

Yes. The research shows a one-time mailbox/template setup before the first parse, after which later PDFs are processed automatically.

**Q: How did Parseur handle clean, multi-column, and messy resumes?**

It parsed all three successfully. The clean and multi-column resumes were strongest, and the messy resume still produced usable core fields like contact details and work experience.

**Q: Did Parseur extract CGPA reliably?**

No. In the research, CGPA was missing from one template, embedded inside the education string in another case, and misread as 67 in the messy-resume mock output.

**Q: Does Parseur return skills and certifications as arrays?**

Not in the tested setup. Certifications came back as one flat string, and skills were observed as a single space-separated string.

**Q: Can Parseur capture languages and work-location fields automatically?**

Not with the template used in this research. Languages and work-location were visible in the source resumes but were absent from the extracted fields until the schema is expanded.

**Q: What export formats were available?**

JSON, CSV, and Excel.

**Q: Was pricing captured in the research?**

No pricing or plan details were stated in the research.
