Based on the popularity of our Resume/CV Parsing AI API endpoint, we’ve crafted a specialized, lightweight Laravel library just for you.

The Future of Hiring: Sharp, Precise, and Laravel-Friendly

This new package is available at github.com/sharpapi/laravel-resume-parser, and it’s got all the bells and whistles for anyone running a Laravel setup. Think automated resume parsing, multilingual support, and a JSON structure so consistent you could set your watch by it.

Key Features

  • Works in Multiple Languages: Supports over 80 languages. Whether it’s a resume from Tokyo or Toronto, it’s ready.
  • Automated Parsing: Upload resumes in PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, or even RTF, and let AI handle the heavy lifting.
  • Consistent Data Format: Ensures predictable JSON structure for parsed data.
  • Robust Polling for Results: Polling-based API response handling with customizable intervals.
  • API Availability and Quota Check: Check API availability and current usage quotas with ping and quota endpoints.

SharpAPI's resume parser is ideal for recruitment software, applicant tracking systems, and internal HR tools that demand fast, scalable, and structured candidate data—without manual effort. Note: The parser currently supports text-based PDF files only. It will not work on PDFs that contain only images or scanned screenshots of text.

How to Use It

Here’s the shortest code snippet to make it happen:

// Start by injecting ResumeParserService
$statusUrl = $this->resumeParserService->parseResume('/path/to/resume.pdf', 'English');

// Then, poll until you get the results:
$result = $this->resumeParserService->fetchResults($statusUrl);

// Enjoy the structured JSON output
return response()->json($result->getResultJson());

That’s it. Just like that, resumes start turning into structured data, ready for however you want to use it. Need a JSON format? Done. Prefer a raw object? Also, done. Basically, it’s your resume data, your way.

💡 Pro tip: For batch processing, use Laravel's queue system to maximize performance and scale effortlessly.

Who Should Try It?
