Bullhorn File Converter Update: Image Text Extraction

Back to Blog

Just a few weeks ago we launched our new Bullhorn file converter, a product that will convert almost any file format into another. This has huge benefits for your business, ensuring you are able to open all files and maintaining consistency across your business.

Our customers had one query however, image text extraction. Candidates upload an image version of their cv/resume. This means that the text is embedded into the image, resulting in the text not being searchable. Pretty useless data if you can’t do anything with it.

Image text extraction

To combat this, we wrote some new modules into our file converter – image text extraction. Here’s the scenario’s

Previously, before file converter with image text extraction;

Candidate uploads jpg version of resume – image enters Bullhorn but cannot be parsed as resume nor data of much use

Now, with file converter and image text extraction;

  • Candidate uploads jpg version of resume
  • Image is read, text is extracted via our OCR software
  • We convert jpg into pdf, placing text as an additional layer
  • PDF is saved into Bullhorn with file type resume
  • PDF can also be saved with your branding, for sending to clients
  • Data extracted from jpg is saved in Bullhorn
  • All data is now visible and fully searchable

Do your candidates and clients provide files in weird and wonderful formats? Have you struggled to open files? Let our file converter for Bullhorn do the hard work for you. All files entering your system will be in exactly the same format, meaning they can be opened any time, anywhere.
