Use AI CV parsing with source documents and recruiter review
AI-assisted CV parsing can help structure candidate information. Recruiter review and access to the original CV remain essential.
What CV parsing does
CV parsing extracts likely fields from a source document, such as a name, contact details, experience or a role. Bridge95 includes CV and data-import workflows that can help prepare a candidate record for review. The result is structured information to check, not a hiring decision.
What can go wrong?
| Source issue | Review action |
|---|---|
| A scanned or low-quality document | Check whether the extracted text matches the visible file. |
| Several phone numbers or email addresses | Confirm which contact belongs to the candidate. |
| Ambiguous dates | Compare start and end dates with the source. |
| Different names for a role or rank | Map to the agreed role while retaining useful source detail. |
| An incomplete qualification description | Request evidence instead of inferring certification. |
Use a review-first workflow
- Select an anonymized sample that represents your normal CV formats.
- Run the import and inspect the proposed values.
- Compare identity, experience and dates with the original document.
- Correct uncertain fields before using the record for a shortlist.
- Retain the source file so another reviewer can understand the record.
Distinguish parsing, search and matching
Parsing structures information. Search helps find records. Matching suggests candidates who may fit a requirement. These are different activities and should be evaluated separately. A likely match still needs a recruiter to verify the role, availability, documents and client requirements.
Questions for the implementation review
- Which file formats and scanned documents occur in your current intake?
- Which fields must be verified before saving or submitting a candidate?
- How are duplicates and missing fields reviewed?
- Which external processing services, if any, are used in your agreed configuration?
- What data-handling requirements apply to source documents?
Common questions
Can AI parsing verify a maritime certificate?
Parsing can extract information; it does not establish authenticity or determine that a certificate is sufficient for a role. Review the source and the relevant requirements.
Should the original CV be kept?
Keep the original CV available within your organization’s agreed retention process so extracted information can be checked.
Can a failed parse be corrected?
Plan for manual review and correction. Test the supported import and editing workflow with your own sample during the demonstration.
