Built for Developers

Stop wasting time on inconsistent resume data. Get clean, structured candidate data in seconds — not hours of manual parsing and cleanup

No More Surprise Costs

Every parse is 1 credit. Add Standard AI model (+2 credits) or OCR (+1-2 credits per page) only when needed. Know your costs upfront, not at the end of the month.

Stop Losing Candidates to Bad Matching

Our 32,000+ skills taxonomy (ESCO + Lightcast) means 'React JS', 'ReactJS', and 'React.js' all match your job postings. No more missed matches.

Choose Accuracy Based on Your Budget

Not all resumes need advanced AI. Use fast Basic for bulk screening, or Standard for best balance of accuracy and cost.

Stop Wrestling with Complex APIs

Simple REST API. One endpoint to parse, one to get results. Complete timeline tracking shows exactly where your time goes.

Stop Worrying About Candidate Data

TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest. Automatic prompt injection protection, and configurable retention. Built for compliance.

Stop Building Custom Parsers

Handle PDF, DOCX, TXT, images, even URLs. Get JSON or XML output with all the data your ATS needs. We handle the complexity.
