Resume/CV Parsing ... Job Order Parsing ... Pinpoint Searching ... Semantic Matching

ENGLISH ... GERMAN ... FRENCH ... SPANISH ... DUTCH ... SWEDISH 

(coming: RUSSIAN, POLISH, GREEK, ITALIAN, FLEMISH)


Sovren Group develops and markets the world's most accurate, fully-featured, fastest, most scalable, and most configurable Resume/CV Parser.

The Sovren Resume/CV Parser also ships with the Sovren Document Converter, which is able to extract text from every commercially important document format including .DOCX, and which also can transform various formats to other formats such as formatted HTML, Rich Text, and XML.

All Sovren products support full parsing in English (all markets), French (all markets), Spanish (plus three dialects), German (all markets), Dutch, and Swedish, with many more being added.

Companies that incorporate the Sovren Resume/CV Parser into their processes gain the benefits of increased applicant flow and reduced handling costs.

Sovren also develops and markets the world's most sophisticated Semantic Matching Engine.

The Sovren Semantic Matching Engine performs true profile matching rather than keyword matching, and it leverages the power of the Sovren Job Order Parser, which is able to parse a job description or free text and construct a semantic profile for matching. No other engine in the world is more precise.

Companies that incorporate the Sovren Semantic Matching Engine gain the ability to perform extremely powerful automatic matching and manual searches (Pinpoint Searches) that are simply not possible without the Sovren parsers and without their unique abilities to create semantic profiles rather than mere keyword overlays.


Some of our customers

   
Sovren Resume Parser - Key Differentiators

  • More comprehensive. We parse out ALL 20+ sections of the resume in accordance with the HR-XML Resume 2.1 - 2.4 schemas. This is 4x the data that our competitors can produce.
  • More accurate. We've gone head-to-head in the most grueling competitions and won.
  • More scalable. The largest volume online and offline resume processors in the world run our software, averaging 12,000,000 transactions per month. And as your volume scales, your profits will, too, because we never charge per-resume or on parsing volume.
  • More secure. You run our software on your own hardware, or on your customers' hardware. You never have to send your confidential resumes over the internet to a third party vendor (who may be owned by your competitor) to get processed. Everything happens in your own environment, 100% controlled by you.
  • More affordable. We are not only the best solution, we are the most affordable enterprise-class solution available. No per-resume charges -- ever! Your costs are fixed, so as your volume scales, so does your profit.
  • Easier to integrate. It takes less than 10 lines of code to convert and parse a resume. We integrate with ANY platform. Our 15+ sample applications, with full source code, make it simple for your IT team to integrate - or we can do it for you. Our zero-code solutions mean that you can be processing resumes in 15 minutes.
  • More versatile. The same exact Sovren Resume Parser component can run in a desktop application, console application, unattended application, interactive application, MS Office application, email application, server application, web server application, or web services application. The API and software is exactly the same regardless of where and how you choose to deploy it.
  • Better customer service. We've been in business for over 10 years, and we are profitable and financially stable. We haven't reorganized, downsized, sold out, changed management, spun off, gone public, missed payrolls and stopped paying management and vendors, gone private, or outsourced our development and support. Our customer service is unmatched. Large or small, we respond to your needs immediately, day or night, 363 days a year.
  • Better competitive structure. Unlike most of our competitors, we are not owned by an ATS vendor or job board, nor do we sell end user applications, so when you do business with us you are not feeding your competition!
  • Better technology. We were the first parser certified on the HR-XML Resume specification, and we are the only Microsoft .NET parsing solution. Our Parser does not leak memory, works as well on IIS as it does on the desktop, runs single-threaded or multi-threaded, and gives you maximum control and flexibility over the Parsing process.
