My team developed an application that helps job seekers improve their resumes and thus improve their chances of getting job interviews when they apply for jobs. My application needs a 3rd party resume parser to convert the document to structured data before my application can run the algorithms my team created. We chose Affinda as the resume parser after comparing it to 8 other resumes parsing APIs.
  • High accuracy compared to the other vendors.
  • Able to handle complex document formats.
  • Affinda team is very responsive to tune and customize the product to its customers' needs.
Cons
  • Resume Parser by Affinda is a few seconds slower than the other parsers I used (Part of this may just be due to propagation delay, considering my data center is halfway around the world). Regardless, for my needs, Affinda's accuracy outweighed the extra latency.
It is well suited for resumes in PDF or DOC/DOCX file format. I have not attempted it with other document formats.
  • XML and JSON output options.
  • Simple XML hierarchy, easy for my API client to consume.
  • Easy to implement sample API client.
  • Reduced cost
  • More accurate parsing outcomes
Affinda's parsing accuracy is as good as or better than the competitors I compared it against. But my primary motivation in switching vendors was the responsiveness of the Affinda team in terms of the excellent customer support and the willingness to customize the product to meet my needs.
Yes
My previous resume parsing vendor had poor customer support. My support requests often went unanswered.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Prior Experience with the Product
Willingness of Affinda product and development team to add items to their roadmap at my request, and quickly deliver those items.
Quick responsiveness to inquiries. Willingness to customize the product to the customer's needs.
Yes
Yes
Affinda has added fields to the XML/JSON response at my request.

Affinda is used by our recruiting teams as they manage the candidate flow. We have built an integration into our internal CRM.


The reason we have switched to Affinda is to drive more efficiencies in our business. We regularly re-evaluate our vendors.


We had not heard of Affinda before, but were sufficiently impressed in initial trials to ask them to participate in a head to head with our current vendor. While the quality was slightly better, what impressed us was their responsiveness to requests, and a better business model that offered more attractive commercial terms.

  • Good quality parses, very clean data
  • Multiple languages
  • Attractive commercial terms
Cons
  • Not being in the same timezone as their technical team slowed us down a little
Affinda is especially appropriate for larger organisations, like ours with internal CRMs.

For those who use a fully fledged cloud-based ATS, Affinda will not meet their needs, as Affinda is just one step in the chain.
  • JSON API
  • Multiple languages
  • 36% price reduction
Affinda was an easy decision, for us, after our evaluations. They were one of two companies (out of four) with the kind of quality we were looking for, had better customer service, and much more attractive commercial terms at our volume.

Great for large volumes of work

I was seconded out of my team into the operations team in order to run this project.

Affinda is being used by our hiring teams to manage both recruitment and internal hiring.

It has reduced the cost of resume data extraction, something that was previously a big headache. We have tested other tools in past years but the quality wasn’t enough to switch from doing it manually. Affinda is the first one we have tried where we have actually decided to commit to using a technology.
  • Quality
  • Service
  • Price
Cons
  • Needed to consult with the IT team for help setting up
Affinda makes sense in bigger teams where you are dealing with lots of CVs. For smaller companies or low volumes I don't think it would make as much sense.
  • Skills
  • Work History
  • We have reduced costs in the range of the low 6 figures
Affinda did the best job on what we needed, which is to parse out skills and work history specifically. Very important to us. The data coming into our system is very clean.

I am a project service officer for an electricity infrastructure company in Australia. We run dozens of projects at any one time with a mix of contractors and employees. Most of our workforce is not ‘experienced’ in the art of writing resumes, meaning that the challenge of parsing their data is hard and has caused many issues in the past with hiring. [Resume Parser by Affinda} has made it a lot better for us, in the short time we have been with them. Our hiring managers are much happier with the quality of the tool, we lose less time.
  • The best with challenging resumes
  • Good service in sales and onboarding
Cons
  • Not the fastest that we tested
[Resume Parser by Affinda] is not a standalone tool, so it will work best for companies with a preexisting tech stack[.]
  • API
  • Skills Parsing
  • Saving time with processing CVs
  • Saving money on previous competitor

I was assigned this project by our operations manager.


We evaluated four competing saas solutions, and after the evaluation we found that [Resume Parser by Affinda] scored best on quality, service and price, and was third best on speed. Wasn’t a hard choice.

This is a great tool to help identify candidates with the best attributes to fill open sales positions. Really increases the efficiency of going through all the resumes to find the ideal candidates. I have found this to be an effective way to go through a large number of candidate's resumes letting the platform gather the specific criteria that best matches our needs. Dramatically cuts down the time it takes to identify the best potential candidates for our sales team. I will continue to use this platform as it is easy and delivers great results.
  • Very cost-effective, as [it's] currently free
  • Gathers the right data quickly
  • Ease of identifying specific skills for a candidate
  • Easy to use format of the outputs of the system
Cons
  • Quality platform that features will increase over time. Continued development will be of great benefit.
Great platform for identifying ideal candidates
  • Time savings and easily gathers data in a useful manner to make decision making better.
