From an unstructured CV to clean, structured data
Built for ATS platforms and agencies with an in-house development team. One REST API call turns a PDF, Word or HTML file into validated JSON: work experience, education, location, contact details and the sections that only appear in this particular CV. Processed inside the EU, with no data storage.
What parsing is supposed to do.
Recruiters and account managers don’t settle for “almost right.” They can’t. A CV sent to a client has to be spot on, every detail counts. Most parsers fail here. And that means lost trust, and sometimes lost business.
That’s why we built the Spadework CV Parser. First for the CV-Transformer, when we realized existing tools just didn’t cut it. Now available as a standalone product: a REST API built for ATSs, large staffing firms, and recruitment agencies with in-house development teams.
