Resume Screening and Ranking with spaCy

Abstract

ATS is a software that provides the necessary tools for hiring companies to enable an efficient recruitment process. All recruiting companies have the irksome task of screening hundreds of resumes only to determine if the candidate is suitable for their needs. This process, done manually, is time-consuming and tedious. ATS assigns a score to each candidate based on their experience in the work field, the relevance of their experience to the recruiters and their education background. ATS takes these inputs as the primary factors in determining the eligibility. The ATS goes beyond basic spell checking and uses leading Artificial Intelligence technology to grade applications based on numerous checks that recruiters and hiring managers pay attention to. Specifically, the platform analyses application impact by evaluating the strength of word choice and also checks application style and brevity. Similarly, it also scores each of the bullet points on the application and checks for key elements such as inconsistencies, length, word choice, filler words, keywords and buzzwords.
