## About

## What it does
Resume Skill Extraction reads resume text and returns structured skill data you can use in hiring workflows, candidate profiles, or parsing pipelines. Send `resumeContent` as a string in the request body, and get back the skills the resume mentions.

The response includes `technicalSkills`, `softSkills`, `certifications`, and `experienceYears` when they can be identified from the input. That makes it useful when you need to normalize unstructured resumes into fields your ATS, CRM, or internal review tools can store and filter.

Use Resume Skill Extraction to prefill candidate records, rank applicants by relevant technologies, or separate credentialed candidates from general experience matches. Because the output is already structured, you can feed it directly into scoring, search indexing, or downstream enrichment without writing your own resume parser.

If the resume text does not contain a field, the response only includes what was found. Keep the input focused on the resume content you want analyzed.
