Concept: Resume Parsing

Resume parsing enables recruiters to create a prospect or job application when attaching a resume in Workday. You can use resume parsing on the
View Prospect
report and these tasks:
  • Create Confidential Prospect
  • Create Job Application
  • Create Prospect
  • Edit Prospect
  • View Prospect
You can also use resume parsing on the
Attachments
tab of the prospect profile.
Resume parsing populates fields from a resume, and Workday enables you to review the resume data. Workday doesn't auto-fill fields you configure as hidden or these fields:
  • Languages
  • Skills
Resume parsing results can vary based on resume format and order of words. For best results, use resumes that don't have images or image-based styles.
You can configure job application templates to hide resume parsing for external candidates. This enables applicants to apply to jobs that don't require resumes more quickly, without disabling resume parsing for:
  • Recruiters
  • Prospects who submit resumes though the
    Prospect Introduce Yourself
    page.
