(*) Textkernel’s LLM Parser is accessible via Sovren, a Textkernel company. Simply create a demo account on the Sovren platform to start using it in real-time.

We take care of the entire parsing pipeline, which entails more than just GPT:
Document conversion
Using industry-standard solutions we convert input documents to text (for parsing) and HTML (for display). Combined with Textkernel’s Deep Learning engine that detects column layouts and document structure, we ensure that the GPT engine receives well-formatted text as input.
Parsing
Using fine-tuned prompts optimized for accuracy and speed, we parse key data points using GPT-3.5.
Normalization
The extracted data undergoes normalization through Textkernel’s modules, which ensures consistent output. The data is enriched with mappings to taxonomies related to job titles, skills, education levels. While we also map to standards like O*NET and ISCO, Textkernel’s real-world taxonomy of skills and job titles sets us apart.
Inference
Our algorithms accurately compute additional metadata, such as the most recent use of a skill or the total months of experience with a skill.
Output
The result from Textkernel's LLM Parser maintains the same JSON structure as our standard parser and seamlessly integrates with other Textkernel products.
Uncover a new world of Parsing possibilities
Textkernel’s LLM Parser (beta) paves the way for future game-changing parsing developments. Imagine having precise answers to specific questions when reviewing a candidate profile:
✓ Has this person ever worked in a Fortune 500 company?
✓ Is this candidate experienced in B2B environments?
✓ Has this applicant ever worked abroad?
✓ Does a candidate have all certifications needed for regulated jobs like nursing?
Textkernel’s LLM Parser (beta) is the foundation for future resume parsers that will be just as precise as they are flexible and customizable. Join us on this journey.

Textkernel’s LLM Parser demonstrates the advanced capabilities of our technology. You can assess whether it’s suitable for your use cases or if our standard parser remains the better choice.
Our standard parser is known for its speed and impressive accuracy, achieving over 95% accuracy for the most critical data points. Textkernel’s LLM Parser elevates accuracy even further, reducing the remaining errors by up to 30%. However, it’s important to note that it currently requires more time for parsing and comes at a higher cost.
-
If you’re already using the Sovren API, there’s no need for modifications. The LLM engine utilizes the same API models and endpoints as the existing Sovren API. You can enable Textkernel’s LLM Parser with a single boolean flag on the request.
-
Yes, the CV/Resume is sent to a private OpenAI Azure model and is not stored. OpenAI does not have access to this data, and it is not used to improve their models.
-
Initially, our focus was on English to showcase the capabilities of LLM technology. However, we plan to expand the GPT engine to include more languages in the future.
-
No, when you enable the LLM Parser and we detect a non-English document, we will return an error and not charge the add-on transaction cost.
-
If you’re using the Sovren API, our LLM Parser will produce the same data model that Sovren AI Matching uses, making it compatible.
However, if you’re using the Textkernel API, you’ll need to integrate the Sovren API for Parsing. Please reach out to support@textkernel.com for tailored advice regarding your setup.
-
By combining Textkernel technology with Open AI’s ChatGPT, our solution is up to four times faster compared to using ChatGPT as a standalone parser. We manage the entire parsing process, including document conversion to text and HTML, as well as handling column layouts. Moreover, we enhance the output with our data-driven skills and profession taxonomies. By choosing Textkernel’s LLM Parser, you eliminate the need to spend any time selecting, evaluating and tuning the LLM technologies and ensures you benefit from future enhancements and features.
-
At this stage, Open AI’s ChatGPT is the most viable option. However, once you’ve integrated with our API, you will automatically benefit from any future changes or improvements in the underlying LLM technology.
