Electronic resume:
An electronic resume is a plain text (ASCII), PDF or HTML document that
provides an employer with information regarding a job candidate's professional
experience, education and job qualifications and is meant to be read by a
computer program instead of by a human being.
Many large company’s process all
their incoming resumes electronically by using an. automated applicant tracking
systems (ATS) or subscribing to a resume scanning service that scans resumes as
images and uses optical character recognition (OCR) software to read the text.
Essentially, the information contained on the resumes is entered into a
relational database so when the company needs to hire new talent, someone from
the human resources management (HRM) department can query the database for
possible candidates.
Resumes that match a specified score
for keywords that were identified by the hiring manager are then selected for
human review.
