Crelate offers two ways to turn resumes into Contact Records, giving you the flexibility to choose the parsing experience that best fits your workflow:
Standard Resume Parser – A reliable, unlimited option for parsing resumes into Contacts.
Premium AI Resume Parser – An AI-powered option that provides more comprehensive parsing, improved accuracy, and enhanced data normalization.
Both options help reduce manual data entry, while the Premium AI Resume Parser provides additional capabilities for capturing more complete and consistent candidate information.
Standard vs. Premium AI Resume Parser
The right parser depends on the level of information and functionality you need when adding candidates to Crelate.
Standard Resume Parser
