## About

## What it does
Resume Skills Extractor reads resume content and returns structured skill data from a single text input. Send `resumeContent`, and the response can include `technicalSkills`, `softSkills`, `certifications`, and `experienceYears`.

Use it when you need to turn unstructured resumes into data you can filter, score, or store. For example, you can extract Python, PyTorch, and NLP from a candidate resume, capture certifications such as Google Professional Data Engineer, and keep a numeric years-of-experience value for ranking or downstream screening.

Resume Skills Extractor is useful for applicant tracking workflows, candidate search, and resume enrichment. It gives you a consistent JSON shape for resumes that may be written very differently, which makes it easier to compare applicants across roles and source systems.

The response is focused on the extracted skill profile rather than the full resume text, so you can plug it directly into hiring pipelines, search indexes, or internal dashboards without extra parsing.
