Job Parsing
Parse job descriptions and vacancies with a few lines of code.
Depending on their origin, jobs come in various structured formats. Therefore, a standardization step is necessary to unify your talent data channels.
By using Text Parsing, this article shows the different steps to design, enrich and standardize all your job offers into job objects. These objects work well with all HrFlow.ai layers (e.g., Searching, Scoring, Embedding, etc.).
Moreover, through a dashboard, you can track your recruiting strategy in real-time and more efficiently.
Prerequisites
API Endpoint
Get more information about the endpoint 🧠 Parse a raw Text.
Step 1: Configure your Postman Environment
Following the steps from the HrFlow.ai Postman publication will make you land on this page:
First, click on the "Environments" tab on the left side of your Postman window. Then, fill in the Empty - Environment template with the correct values. The compulsory variables for Job Parsing are:
x-api-key: follow the steps from 🔑 API Authentication to retrieve itx-user-email: follow the steps from 🔑 API Authentication to retrieve itboard_key: key of the Board where your Jobs will be stored
Finally, save the environment and ensure that you selected Empty - Environment as your current environment.
Step 2: Prepare your Job's Text for Text Parsing API
Starting with a Job Object (or any structured Job format), building a text similar to the original text of the Job is necessary before calling the Text Parsing endpoint. This task can be done by:
- merging description and their title with a single line jump
- joining sections with double line jumps
Here is an example with the Text Parsing results:
