Using cvScore

To use this utility, create a directory containing your resumes. PDF and DOCX formats are supported. Then create a text file with the keywords you're looking for, with one keyword per line. For example:

cvScore score dev/cvScore/data dev/cvScore/data/keywords.txt
data/testDoc1.docx : score = 22
data/testDoc1.pdf : score = 22
data/testDoc2.pdf : score = 10
data/testDoc2.docx : score = 10

Further details

Keywords

The keywords are entered into a text file, one per line. Matching is case-insensitive.

Example keywords.txt file:

ETL
Java
Python

Running from Poetry:

poetry run cvScore score data data/keywords.txt

data/testDoc1.docx : score = 22
data/testDoc1.pdf : score = 22
data/testDoc2.pdf : score = 10
data/testDoc2.docx : score = 10

Ranking Algorithm

The algorithm is very simple. It counts the number of times each keyword occurs in the document and the score is the sum of the counts. If multiple documents are found in the directory, a list of documents, sorted from highest to lowest score, is returned.
