Yeah I’m pretty sure you can probably train an AI to do this quite accurately these days, and in fact, someone out there has likely already done that.

The question is whether the company you’re applying to is willing to pay for that. Unfortunately, if does, it would probably also be willing to pay for an AI to replace you as well, and if it isn’t, they’ll likely have you do similarly boring and useless tasks at your job.

You can't. An NDA prohibits me from saying how I know this, but I know for a fact that advanced and specifically trained FMs still struggle to accurately parse resumes, even with several million dollars devoted to the project.

Really? That's quite surprising. I understand that it's not trivial to algorithmically parse a resume formatted for human consumption even though it's a somewhat structured format, just because the formatting can vary quite a lot, but there's only so many different types of information on there, and little of it has any overlap in terms of how it could be categorized, so I would think an AI should be quite effective at picking it up.

Then again, I'm not an AI expert and I certainly haven't attempted to do anything like this.

The models can do alright for very simple resumes, but once you start getting into multiple page ones it gets messy.

While resumes follow a pattern that we're able to easily recognize, there's so much variation that even with AI you have to add in a ton of heuristics to control for hallucinations.
