Illustration of the email workflow

Application email: Application — Java Developer

After processing

Structured result returned by email, including CSV

Fictional example. Results, attachments and available fields depend on the document and configured workflow.

For teams that already manage applications by email

The email workflow structures incoming documents without adding API development to your recruiting project.

CVs arrive by email

Forward documents received from candidates, consultants or partners to the matching processing address.

You work with spreadsheets

Use the returned CSV to view, filter or consolidate information in Excel or Google Sheets.

You do not want to build an integration

Start with an email channel configured for your account. No API call is needed to submit a document.

How does email CV parsing work?

Account and workflow setup is separate from everyday use. Once the dedicated addresses are activated, your team can continue working from its inbox.

01
Set up the workflow
Activate the account and configure dedicated addresses for CVs and job offers.
02
Send or forward
Send the document to the relevant address. No API development is needed to start processing.
03
Receive the result
After processing, structured data is returned by email, including as a CSV file.
04
Review and use
Check the information, then use the file in a spreadsheet or recruiting process.

You can also send job offers

Send a job offer to the designated channel to structure information found in the document for your recruiting workflow.

Extract skills and requirements when they appear in the offer.
Structured data can support comparison with candidate profiles.
The number of active offers available for matching depends on the plan.
Review job data before using it to compare candidate profiles.

Receive a structured candidate profile

The email workflow sends the CV to the parsing mode configured for your account and returns structured results by email.

Up to 56 or 96 fields, depending on the parsing mode used.
A field is populated only when the information appears in the document.
The CSV file and its columns depend on the content and configuration.
Review the structured profile and source CV before using the data.

From an incoming email to structured data

This fictional example illustrates how information from a CV may be returned in a table after processing.

Fictional illustration, not a contractual CSV schema. Available fields depend on the document, parsing mode and output configuration.

Email, web interface or API: which workflow fits?

Email CV parsing questions

Do I need a developer?

No. You can submit documents without developing an API integration. Account creation and email workflow setup are still required.

How do I get the processing addresses?

Dedicated addresses for CVs and job offers are associated with your account during workflow setup. Confirm activation for your account.

Which files can I send?

Public workflows accept PDF, DOC, DOCX and TXT, among other formats. Confirm the exact formats and limits for the email channel during setup.

Can I send several CVs in one email?

The maximum number of attachments or CVs per message is not specified here; confirm it when your workflow is configured.

Does the CSV always use the same schema?

No. This example is illustrative. Available fields depend on the document, parsing mode and configured output columns.

How much does CV parsing cost?

Rule-based parsing costs 1 credit per CV, AI 56 costs 3 credits and AI 96 costs 5 credits. The mode used by email depends on configuration.

Can I use email parsing during the trial?

The 14-day trial includes 200 credits and requires no credit card. Confirm email workflow activation during account setup.

Does matching use credits?

No. CV / job matching uses no credits. The number of active offers depends on your plan, and the score supports human review.

Are results automatically synced to my ATS?

Not necessarily. The CSV may be used for import if your ATS accepts its format and fields. Email is not an automatic synchronisation.

How long does processing take?

This page does not promise a specific time. Results are returned after processing; notifications and retries depend on the configured workflow.
