A simple resume parser used for extracting information from resumes

• Extract name
• Extract email
• Extract mobile numbers
• Extract skills
• Extract total experience
• Extract education (not very accurate as of now)
• Extract experience (not very accurate as of now)

• You can install this package using

pip install pyresparser

• For NLP operations we use spacy and nltk. Install them using below commands:

# spaCy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

# nltk
python -m nltk.downloader words

• PDF and DOCx files are supported on all Operating Systems
• If you want to extract DOC files you can install textract for your OS (Linux, MacOS)
• Note: You just have to install textract (and nothing else) and doc files will get parsed easily

For running the resume extractor you can also use the cli provided

usage: pyresparser [-h] [-f FILE] [-d DIRECTORY]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                              show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE                    resume file to be extracted
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY     directory containing all the resumes to be extracted
  -r REMOTEFILE, --remotefile REMOTEFILE  remote path for resume file to be extracted

For extracting data from a single resume file, use

pyresparser -f <resume_file_path>

For extracting data from several resumes, place them in a directory and then execute

pyresparser -d <resume_directory_path>

For extracting data from remote resumes, execute

pyresparser -r <path_to_remote_resume_file>

• If you are running the app on windows, then you can only extract .docs and .pdf files

The module would return a list of dictionary objects with result as follows:
