Affinda Resume Parser
Affinda Resume Parser converts resumes and CVs into structured candidate data through a hosted API or self-hosted container.
The parser extracts contact details, work history, education, certifications, skills, languages, locations, employment details and other candidate fields from resumes. It accepts PDFs, DOCX files, images, plain text, HTML and RTF, returning structured JSON.
ATS providers, job boards, recruitment platforms and HR technology teams can use the hosted API or deploy the parser inside their own infrastructure. It does not store uploaded documents; production usage is charged by document or annual volume, while self-hosted deployment requires an annual plan.
