Gmail Resume Parser

Did you know that as a recruiter, it is possible to get all the resumes from your Gmail inbox and parse them in one click using AI? At Tobu, this is precisely what we have done after years of research. As of now, Tobu is the first and only Email Resume Extractor that can automatically identify and organize all the resumes you ever owned from your Gmail in a single step of linking your email. As a way to simplify the process of fetching resumes from your emails individually either to feed it into a recruitment system/ ATS or into excel sheets, we have built a Gmail Resume Parser that automatically does this by just linking your gmail to Tobu. Not only does the tool automatically identify the resumes, but it also parses them by the different fields like Candidate name, Email, phone number, Locations, work experiences, skills etc regardless of the format and builds it into a searchable database.  This article will take you through the process of using the Gmail Resume Parser and what it entails.

1. What is the Gmail Resume Parser?

The Gmail Resume Parser is an automated email parser that firstly scans your emails for resumes and secondly identifies/ parses all the key details from the resume including the Candidate Name, Email, Phone Number, Locations etc.  It scans your email for candidates and displays them in a table for you. The Gmail Resume Parser is also referred to as a Gmail Resume Extractor.

2. How does the Gmail Resume Parser work?

This tool is a simple Gmail add-on that you can install on your Gmail account. Alternatively you can sign up on the Tobu website and Sign up via Gmail.  Tobu then scans the Inbox for resumes and parses all the resumes identified and backs up all the resumes into a searchable database. This is beneficial for all recruiters who get resumes on their Gmail. Let us say your email inbox is 5 years old and you have received thousands of resumes in this time. By simply linking your Gmail to Tobu, Tobu will identify all the resumes from your history and will continue to scan and parse resumes in your inbox as and when they come into your Gmail Inbox. Tobu will provide detailed excel-like tables of all the resumes/candidates identified in your gmail. These can then be searched within Tobu’s web interface or exported into excel sheets/ your own recruitment systems.
