Automatically populate a candidate’s record using AI
Firefish will process any CV added to a candidate record using artificial intelligence (AI) to structure and populate candidate information into the main record profile.
CVs are parsed automatically by the CV Processor whenever a readable document is added – this includes all registration methods, direct apply and when manually adding a document to a candidate’s record.
What Fields are Populated?
Firefish’s AI Parser will attempt to populate all core profile fields where they are currently blank. This currently includes:
- Personal Details
- Availability
- Social
- Contact
- Candidate Summary
- Recruiter Summary
- Education
- Certifications
Where a field offers a dropdown selection, Firefish will attempt to match information on the CV to one of your dropdown values – if a match cannot be determined by the AI based on the information available, the dropdown will not be populated.
For example, if a candidate lists a Certification on their CV, and there isn’t an equivalent value available added in System Configuration -> Properties -> Certifications, Firefish will ignore it and not add it as a value.
How Accurate is the Parser?
The AI Parser relies on contextual information in a CV in order to structure and populate the data against the record. As such the accuracy and reliability of data capture relies on the quality of the CV – this includes the way the document is laid out, the information that can be extracted and the available relevant dropdown options in Firefish.
CV Parsing is a background process, so you should check back in on your record after adding a new CV document. The speed of the parser will vary from CV to CV based on size and complexity. Depending on the amount of data being processed, you may notice that the parser populates your candidate record in stages.
In the record header, you'll see document icons - the colour of these icons tell you what stage CV processing is at:
Orange = CV is awaiting processing
Blue = CV has processed but contains less than 200 words
Black = CV has processed successfully
Red = CV has failed processing
