Presume

A resume parser coupled with fundamental Applicant Tracking System Technology

Description

Presume is the first open-source Applicant Tracking System technology for Ruby-on-Rails developers. It works by parsing the resume into the CVSTOM.org resume format Section >> Header >> Bullets, and then taking an input of skills and their expected duration to check for in that resume.

Features

Parse resumes Checks resumes for specific skills, positions, and their duration

Resume Parser:

require 'presume'

# Sample input
resume_text = "Leigh Silverstein\n123 Ave.\n\nWork Experience\nProject Coordinator"

# Parse resume with string input
presume = Presume.new(resume_text)

# Retrieve Sections
Presume.sections

#=> {0 => SectionObject1, 1 => SectionObject2}

# SectionObject Functions

SectionObject.text

#=> "Work Experience"

SectionObject.children

#=> [ HeaderObject1, HeaderObject2 ]

# HeaderObject Functions

SectionObject.text

#=> "Project Coordinator, Projects4Ever Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Jan 2011-Jul 2012

SectionObject.duration

#=> 1.5 (In Years)

SectionObject.start_time_text

#=> Jan 2011

SectionObject.end_time_text

#=> Jul 2012

HeaderObject.children

#=> [ BulletObject1, BulletObject2 ]

# BulletObject inherits all functions from the HeaderObject except children

ATS:

# After parsing a resume

# Checking for certain position or education ("name", expected_minimum_duration_in_years)
intake_hash = {"Project Coordinator,Project Assistant" => 1, "Bachelors Finance|BF|B.F." => 4}

# Check for positions
presume.positions?(intake_hash)

#=> {"Project Coordinator,Project Assistant" => [ MatchedHeaderObject1 ], "Bachelors Finance|BF|B.F." => [ MatchedHeaderObject2 ]}

# Checking for certain skills ("name", expected_minimum_duration_in_years)
intake_hash = {"database management" => 1, "clear communication" => 0}

# Check for positions
presume.skills?(intake_hash)

#=> {"database management" => [ MatchedBulletObject1 ], "clear communication" => [ MatchedBulletObject2 ]}

#Note that matched headers and bullets are the same classes as the headers and bullets discussed in the resume parsing section
