Why use an Desktop Resume Extractor?
Resumes are expensive. We understand how much effort goes into collecting and curating these resumes over the years for recruiters. While there are ATSs and CRMs that help maintain resume repositories, it becomes really hard to populate these systems. In a lot of cases, we have noticed that a lot of resumes are in the Desktops and network drives of the recruiters and it takes too much time to manually label each resume and push them into the systems. Tobu solves exactly this problem by automatically identifying all the resumes from your history and going forward in a matter of minutes through a simple Desktop application that can be downloaded and used to build a private resume database and make all your resumes searchable in minutes.
