CV Extraction

In this example, we received a CV and want to extract certain fields from it. Since CVs always vary slightly in appearance and contents, this is a perfect use case for Waveline Extract since we don't rely on a given input structure.

First, let's construct a Shape that describes what we want to extract. Note that the description and isArray fields are optional.

[
  {
    "name": "personal_info",
    "type": "object",
    "elements": [
      { "name": "name", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "email", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "phone", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "address", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "linkedin", "type": "string" }
    ]
  },
  { "name": "professional_summary", "type": "string" },
  {
    "name": "education",
    "type": "object",
    "isArray": true,
    "elements": [
      { "name": "degree", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "university", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "major", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "start_date", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "end_date", "type": "string" }
    ]
  },
  {
    "name": "experience",
    "type": "object",
    "isArray": true,
    "elements": [
      { "name": "job_title", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "company", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "start_date", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "end_date", "type": "string" },
      { "name": "description", "type": "string" }
    ]
  },
  { "name": "skills", "type": "string", "isArray": true },
  { "name": "certifications", "type": "string", "isArray": true },
  { "name": "languages", "type": "string", "isArray": true },
  { "name": "projects", "type": "string", "isArray": true },
  { "name": "awards", "type": "string", "isArray": true },
  { "name": "volunteer_experience", "type": "string", "isArray": true },
  { "name": "additional_information", "type": "string" }
]

After creating the job with extract-endpoint and getting the result back with the job endpoint (see the other examples for a more detailed walkthrough of this process), we receive the following result:
