Resume Extractor Setup
Resume extractors enable users to start with a resume in electronic form (such as HTML, PDF, DOC, and so on) and have the information from that resume extracted into more meaningful data. Applicants might embed resumes in email messages as either text or an attachment, and then the resume extractor can process as much information as it can recognize and load data into the PeopleSoft applicant related tables. Similarly, applicants can use their electronic resume to prepopulate their online job applications in PeopleSoft Candidate Gateway when they apply for jobs online. Recruiters can also use the extraction process to load data from resumes that they receive into the PeopleSoft applicant related tables. Finally, staffing providers can send resumes that require an extraction process.
To set up resume extractors:
-
Set up the resume extractor.
Follow the vendor-provided instructions.
-
Set up the resume extractor vendor.
Additional Setup Steps for Different Channels
Applicant resumes can come into the Recruiting Solutions system from one of several channels. The additional setup that you must complete to utilize resume extraction functionality varies slightly depending on the channels that the organization uses to receive resumes. For example, the additional setup that you must complete to receive resumes through email is different from the setup that you must complete to accept resumes from applicants who apply online through Candidate Gateway. However, the setup steps that you use to set up the actual resume extractor vendor are exactly the same for all channels. Therefore, you can set up a single resume extractor to use for all channels, or use a different resume extractor for each.

Note:
Step one might be optional because although an organization can set up and maintain a resume extractor locally, some resume extractor providers might want to set up and maintain the resume extractor remotely. Whether the step is optional depends on the agreement between the resume extractor provider and the organization.
