Resume Matcher

AI Based Free & Open Source ATS, Resume Matcher to tailor your resume to a job description. Find the best keywords, and gain deep insights into your resume.

How does it work?

The Resume Matcher takes your resume and job descriptions as input, parses them using Python, and mimics the functionalities of an ATS, providing you with insights and suggestions to make your resume ATS-friendly.

The process is as follows:

1. Parsing: The system uses Python to parse both your resume and the provided job description, just like an ATS would. Parsing is critical as it transforms your documents into a format the system can readily analyze.

2. Keyword Extraction: The tool uses advanced machine learning algorithms to extract the most relevant keywords from the job description. These keywords represent the skills, qualifications, and experiences the employer seeks.

3. Key Terms Extraction: Beyond keyword extraction, the tool uses textacy to identify the main key terms or themes in the job description. This step helps in understanding the broader context of what the resume is about.

4. Vector Similarity Using Qdrant: The tool uses Qdrant, a highly efficient vector similarity search tool, to measure how closely your resume matches the job description. This process is done by representing your resume and job description as vectors in a high-dimensional space and calculating their cosine similarity. The more similar they are, the higher the likelihood that your resume will pass the ATS screening.

On top of that, there are various data visualizations that I've added to help you get started.

How to install

Follow these steps to set up the environment and run the application.

1. Fork the repository here.

2. Clone the forked repository.

   git clone https://github.com/<YOUR-USERNAME>/Resume-Matcher.git
   cd Resume-Matcher

3. Create a Python Virtual Environment:

   • Using virtualenv:

     Note: Check how to install virtualenv on your system here link.

     virtualenv env

   OR

   • Create a Python Virtual Environment:

     python -m venv env

4. Activate the Virtual Environment.

   • On Windows.

     env\Scripts\activate

   • On macOS and Linux.

     source env/bin/activate

   OPTIONAL (For pyenv users)

   Run the application with pyenv (Refer this article)

   • Build dependencies (on ubuntu)

     sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python openssl
     

     
     sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev liblzma-dev libncurses-dev
     
     sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev
     
     sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev liblzma-dev
     
     

   • pyenv installer

        curl https://pyenv.run | bash
     

   • Install desired python version

       pyenv install -v 3.11.0
     

   • pyenv with virtual enviroment

        pyenv virtualenv 3.11.0 venv
     

   • Activate virtualenv with pyenv

        pyenv activate venv
     

5. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Prepare Data:

   • Resumes: Place your resumes in PDF format in the Data/Resumes folder. Remove any existing contents in this folder.
   • Job Descriptions: Place your job descriptions in PDF format in the Data/JobDescription folder. Remove any existing contents in this folder.

7. Parse Resumes to JSON:

   python run_first.py

8. Run the Application:

   streamlit run streamlit_app.py

Note: For local versions, you do not need to run "streamlit_second.py" as it is specifically for deploying to Streamlit servers.

Additional Note: The Vector Similarity part is precomputed to optimize performance due to the resource-intensive nature of sentence encoders that require significant GPU and RAM resources. If you are interested in leveraging this feature in a Google Colab environment for free, refer to the upcoming blog (link to be provided) for further guidance.

Docker

1. Build the image and start application

       docker-compose up

2. Open localhost:80 on your browser

Cohere and Qdrant

1. Visit Cohere website registration and create an account.
2. Go to API keys and copy your cohere api key.
3. Visit Qdrant website and create an account.
4. Get your api key and cluster url.
5. Now create a yaml file named config.yml in Scripts/Similarity/ folder.
6. The format for the conifg file should be as below:

   cohere:
     api_key: cohere_key
   qdrant:
     api_key: qdrant_api_key
     url: qdrant_cluster_url

7. Please replace your values without any quotes.

Note: Please make sure that Qdrant_client's version is higher than v1.1
