resume-parser's Introduction

Resume Parser

Update: The API that this project used has been obfuscated and therefore this tool is no longer functional. :(

This repo hosts the Google Cloud function for querying Lever's resume parsing API.

While the Lever API is (probably unintentionally) public, it implements strict CORS. This lambda function is used as a proxy to facilitate server-to-server communication.

You can view a live demo here which calls this cloud function (whose trigger URL is https://us-central1-resume-parser-322517.cloudfunctions.net/parseResume-1)

How does this work?

Lever.co is a popular recruiting platform used by many companies. As job applicants, we often encounter Lever when applying for jobs. When applying to a job posting powered by Lever, if you pay attention to the network requests being made, you'll notice that a call to an internal Lever API is made. In particular, a post request is made to https://jobs.lever.co/parseResume which parses the resume through Lever's backend. My website is simply a front-end that displays the results of the parse in an easy-to-digest manner.

Note that the diagram is a bit outdated, I've switched from AWS Lambda to GCP Cloud Functions (which is a lot easier to use).

resume-parser's Issues

Blocked by CORS

The AWS endpoint recently started having issues with CORS and can't return the parsed results; not sure if this is due to Lever's API or the AWS Lambda.

Access to fetch at 'https://g5wkkduchj.execute-api.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Prod' from origin 'https://itsjafer.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Tested on Edge/Chrome/Safari with and without incognito.

Unable to see/understand the result after parsing out the resume.

Parser fails to display text if no phone number provided

If a resume does not have a phone number, no error or text is displayed to the screen.

The console has an error saying that e.phones[0] is undefined. I believe this is because the response data returns an empty array and it's trying to access the first element. I can't find the source code for the front end, but I believe this can be easily remedied by adding a null check to return "None" for phone number if it can't find any.

Steps to replicate:
Submit any resume without a phone number. You can remove the phone number from your resume to test this.

Screenshot:

Analyzing the network response (not shown as it contains personal details) shows that the response data has phones as an empty array.

Access to fetch at 'https://us-central1-resume-parser-322517.cloudfunctions.net/parseResume-1' from origin 'https://itsjafer.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Hopefully you can spoof the header
