1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of the Project
A Project Bluebook serves as a comprehensive technical report, outlining the detailed aspects of a
project from conception to completion. For a software project, it is an essential document that provides
stakeholders, developers, and future maintainers with a complete understanding of the system's
purpose, architecture, and features. It's a foundational document that ensures consistency, helps in
project management, and serves as a record of the technical decisions made throughout the
development lifecycle. This document is crucial for transparency and for guiding any future
enhancements or maintenance work on the project.

The AI Resume Analyzer project aims to solve a significant problem in the modern recruitment and
job search landscape. The manual process of reviewing thousands of resumes is not only inefficient
but also prone to human error. This tool automates this process by using advanced Natural Language
Processing (NLP) techniques to parse and analyze resume data. By extracting structured data such as
skills, educational qualifications, and professional experience, the tool provides a powerful solution
for both job seekers and hiring managers. For job applicants, it offers a personalized "health check"
on their resume, providing them with a score, predicted job roles, and specific recommendations on
how to improve their profile. This empowers them to tailor their resumes more effectively for specific
job markets and increase their chances of being noticed.

On the other side of the equation, the project provides immense value to organizations, particularly in
recruitment and university placement cells. The system's backend is designed to collect and store all
parsed resume data in a structured database, which can then be used for in-depth analytics. This allows
administrators to gain insights into the skills and qualifications of a large pool of applicants without
the need for manual data entry. The admin-side features include the ability to view, sort, and download
this data as a CSV file, as well as an analytics dashboard with interactive pie charts. These charts can
visualize key metrics such as the distribution of ratings, the most common predicted job roles, and
user demographics like city and country, providing a clear overview of user trends and feedback. The
project's architecture, including its use of Streamlit for the frontend, Python for the backend, and
MySQL for the database, is designed to be scalable and robust, ensuring it can handle a large volume
of data while remaining efficient.

1.2 Motivation & Application

The genesis of the AI Resume Analyzer is driven by a critical need to modernize and streamline the
process of talent acquisition. The traditional resume screening process is a significant bottleneck, often
characterized by manual, tedious, and time-intensive tasks. Recruiters and hiring managers spend an
inordinate amount of time sifting through hundreds, if not thousands, of resumes, a process that is not
only inefficient but also susceptible to human biases and oversights. For job seekers, the lack of
objective feedback on their resume can be a source of immense frustration, leaving them to guess
what a recruiter is looking for. Our project is fundamentally motivated by the goal of addressing these
pain points by introducing a data-driven, automated, and intelligent solution that provides tangible
value to both parties. We aim to empower job applicants with actionable insights to optimize their
resumes for specific roles, thereby leveling the playing field. Simultaneously, we want to equip
organizations with a powerful tool that can handle the high volume of applications efficiently,
allowing them to focus on candidate engagement and selection.

The applications of the AI Resume Analyzer are broad and transformative. On an individual level, a
job seeker can upload their resume to receive an instant, comprehensive analysis. The system will not
only highlight strengths and weaknesses but also provide a predicted job role and suggest relevant
skills to acquire. For example, if a user's resume is strong in data analysis but light on machine
learning, the tool might suggest a "Data Scientist" role and recommend courses in Python's scikit-
learn library to enhance their profile. This personalized feedback loop can dramatically increase a
user's confidence and success rate in their job search. On an organizational level, the tool's application
extends to corporate recruitment departments and academic institutions. A company can use the
analyzer to process a large number of applications automatically, filtering candidates based on skill
match and overall resume score. This eliminates the need for manual screening and ensures that no
qualified candidate is overlooked.

Furthermore, educational institutions can leverage the tool to prepare students for the job market. A
university placement cell could implement the AI Resume Analyzer to provide every student with a
detailed report on their resume, offering tailored advice before they apply for internships or full-time
positions. The administrative dashboard provides a bird's-eye view of a group's collective skills and
qualifications, enabling institutions to identify trends and adjust their curriculum to better meet
industry demands. For example, if a high percentage of students are predicted to be strong in software
development but are lacking in cloud computing skills, the institution can prioritize offering relevant
training or courses. The project’s modular design, using Streamlit for the frontend, Python for the
backend, and MySQL for the database, ensures its versatility and allows it to be easily integrated into
existing systems or used as a standalone application, making it a powerful and flexible solution for
various use cases.

10
1.3 Problem Definition
In the contemporary job market, the process of talent acquisition is fraught with inefficiencies and
challenges that significantly impact both job seekers and hiring entities. A core issue for job applicants
is the sheer opaqueness of the screening process. A candidate may possess all the necessary skills and
qualifications for a role, but their resume might not be structured or keyword-optimized to pass an
Applicant Tracking System (ATS), which is the first line of defense for many companies. This leads to
a disheartening cycle where qualified individuals are overlooked, and their well-crafted resumes are
effectively lost in a digital black hole. This lack of objective feedback leaves applicants in the dark,
with no clear path to improving their chances. The emotional and professional toll of this constant
rejection without explanation is a pervasive problem that hinders career progression and damages
confidence. The market lacks an accessible tool that can provide a diagnostic report on a resume's
strengths and weaknesses, offering a clear roadmap for optimization.

From the perspective of companies and recruitment agencies, the problem is one of immense scale and
resource allocation. The volume of applications for a single popular job posting can easily number in
the hundreds, or even thousands. Manually sifting through each resume to identify promising
candidates is a time-consuming, expensive, and often inaccurate process. This manual labor diverts
valuable human resources from more strategic tasks like candidate engagement and relationship
building. Furthermore, reliance on manual review makes the process susceptible to human biases,
which can lead to a less diverse and less qualified talent pool. There is a critical need for an automated,
intelligent system that can not only handle this volume but also perform the initial screening with a
high degree of accuracy and consistency, allowing recruiters to focus on a pre-vetted list of top-tier
candidates.

Beyond the immediate screening challenges, a deeper, systemic problem exists in how organizations
manage and utilize applicant data. The information contained within resumes is largely unstructured,
residing in various formats such as PDFs, DOCX, and other file types. This makes it incredibly difficult
to aggregate, analyze, and derive strategic insights from a large pool of applicants. Companies are
unable to easily answer key questions, such as: "What are the most common skills among applicants
for a specific role?", "What is the geographic distribution of our talent pool?", or "Are we attracting
candidates with the skills required for our future needs?". The lack of a centralized, structured database
of applicant information prevents businesses from performing meaningful analytics, forecasting talent
trends, and making data-driven decisions. The AI Resume Analyzer is a direct response to this
multifaceted problem, offering a solution that not only automates the screening process but also
transforms unstructured data into a powerful asset for strategic talent management.

11
1.4 Objective & Scope
The primary objective of the AI Resume Analyzer is to develop a comprehensive, automated system
that intelligently processes and provides insights on resumes. This involves a multi-pronged approach:
first, to accurately parse and extract structured data from unstructured resume files (like PDFs). Second,
to utilize Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to analyze this data, identifying key skills,
clustering them into relevant professional sectors, and providing predictive analytics on potential job
roles. Finally, to present these findings in a clear, user-friendly format for applicants, and as a powerful
analytical dashboard for administrators. The project's scope is defined by its two main user segments:
the client (the job applicant) and the administrator.

• Client-Side (Job Applicant) Scope:

o User-Friendly Interface: The system provides a simple and intuitive interface for users to
upload their resumes in various formats.
o Comprehensive Resume Analysis: It performs a deep-dive analysis of the resume content,
extracting all relevant information including contact details, work experience, educational
background, and a detailed list of skills.
o Logical Recommendations & Predictions: The core of the client-side scope is to provide
valuable, actionable insights. This includes generating an overall score for the resume's
quality, a predicted job role based on the applicant's skills, and a tailored list of
recommended skills, courses, and certificates to enhance their profile.
o Career Guidance Content: The scope extends to offering supplementary resources, such as
resume tips and interview videos, to further assist the user in their career journey.

• Admin-Side (Organization/College) Scope:

o Centralized Data Management: The project provides a robust backend for administrators to
manage and access all the data submitted by applicants. The data is stored in a structured
format, enabling easy retrieval and management.
o Data Export Functionality: Admins have the critical ability to download all applicant data
as a CSV file, which allows for seamless integration into other analytical tools or internal
databases.
o User Feedback System: The scope includes a dedicated section for managing and viewing
user feedback and ratings, providing a direct line to understanding user satisfaction and
identifying Objective & Scope

1.5 Expected Outcome

The successful implementation of the AI Resume Analyzer is poised to deliver a multi-faceted and
transformative impact, fundamentally reshaping the dynamics of the job market for both individuals
and organizations. For job applicants, the expected outcome transcends mere resume improvement; it's
about empowering them with the tools and knowledge to navigate the job search with confidence and
a strategic advantage. By providing objective, data-driven feedback, the tool will serve as a virtual
mentor, helping users understand why their resume might be failing to secure interviews. It is expected
that this targeted guidance will lead to a significant increase in resume optimization, with users
effectively addressing issues related to keyword density, skill representation, and formatting. This
optimization is projected to result in a higher resume score and, crucially, a higher success rate in
passing automated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Ultimately, the outcome for applicants is a more
efficient, less frustrating job search process, culminating in a higher volume of quality interview
opportunities and an improved ability to land their desired roles.

For organizations, including corporate recruitment departments and educational institutions, the
expected outcomes are even more profound. The project will deliver a solution that directly tackles the
problems of scale, inefficiency, and bias inherent in traditional resume screening. By automating this
initial process, the AI Resume Analyzer will drastically reduce the time and resources that human
recruiters spend on manual review. This efficiency gain is expected to be a significant cost-saver and
will allow recruitment teams to reallocate their energy to more high-value tasks, such as candidate
engagement, interviews, and strategic talent sourcing. Furthermore, the tool's ability to consistently
and objectively screen resumes will lead to a more meritocratic and diverse talent pipeline, as it
mitigates the unconscious biases that can influence human judgment.

Perhaps the most valuable outcome for organizations is the transformation of unstructured resume data
into actionable business intelligence. By parsing and storing applicant information in a structured
database, the AI Resume Analyzer will provide a powerful analytics platform. The visual dashboard is
not just a feature; it's a strategic tool. From the pie charts, an organization can expect to gain real-time
insights into the talent pool. They will be able to identify emerging skill trends among applicants,
understand the geographic distribution of their talent, and pinpoint potential skill gaps that need to be
addressed in future job postings or training programs. For a university, the outcome is the ability to
provide targeted career counseling to their students and to adjust their curriculum based on what skills
are in high demand in the industry. The collective data will serve as a valuable resource for forecasting
talent needs, benchmarking against competitors, and ultimately, building a more agile and competitive
workforce. In essence, the AI Resume Analyzer is not merely a tool for resume analysis; it is a catalyst
for creating a more efficient, fair, and data-informed talent ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders.

 Chapter 2
2. Literature Survey & Proposed System
2.1 Literature Review of Existing System
A comprehensive review of existing resume parsing and analysis systems reveals a landscape with
significant limitations and untapped potential. Most available tools operate on rudimentary principles,
primarily relying on simple keyword matching or regex-based pattern recognition to extract data. While
this approach can capture basic information like name, email, and contact details, it consistently fails
when faced with diverse resume layouts and unconventional formatting. For a recruiter, these tools
often produce fragmented data, requiring extensive manual intervention to correct errors and fill in
missing information, which defeats the purpose of automation. The market lacks robust, intelligent
parsers that can handle the sheer variety of resume designs with a high degree of accuracy, which is a
critical necessity in today's digital hiring environment.

Furthermore, a substantial gap exists in the application of these systems. The vast majority are built
from an administrative perspective, designed to serve the needs of a recruiter or an HR professional.
They are essentially data-collection tools, with little to no functionality that benefits the job applicant
directly. This one-sided model leaves job seekers in the dark, without any objective feedback on their
resume's strengths or weaknesses. The lack of a "report card" or a scoring system prevents applicants
from understanding how their resume is perceived by an automated system, leaving them to guess what
changes are needed to improve their chances. Our analysis of the existing systems shows a clear void
in a user-centric approach that empowers individuals with personalized, actionable insights.

Lastly, we identified a critical technological and analytical gap. Many of the existing platforms are built
on outdated technologies that do not leverage the full power of modern machine learning and advanced
NLP. This deficiency prevents them from performing deeper analysis, such as clustering skills into
relevant sectors, predicting a suitable job role, or identifying emerging trends in the talent pool. Without
a sophisticated backend for data analytics, organizations are left with raw, unstructured data that is
difficult to use for strategic decision-making. The absence of a centralized, structured database and a
comprehensive analytics dashboard means companies cannot easily perform tasks like talent
forecasting or benchmarking applicant data. These limitations underscore the urgent need for a more
intelligent, comprehensive, and mutually beneficial system like the one we are proposing.

19
2.2 Limitations of Existing System & Gap Analysis
An in-depth analysis of existing resume parsing tools reveals several critical limitations that create a
significant gap in the market. The most prominent limitation is the inaccuracy and fragility of parsing
engines. Most tools struggle to handle the diverse and often creative formats of modern resumes,
leading to errors in data extraction. They are often built on rigid, rule-based systems that break down
when faced with unconventional layouts, custom fonts, or varying section names. This forces human
recruiters to perform extensive manual corrections, which negates the intended purpose of automation.
The lack of robust, AI-powered parsing capabilities is a major void that needs to be filled.

A second major limitation is the one-sided, administrative-focused design. Existing systems are
predominantly built for organizations, serving as simple data pipelines to populate a database or an
Applicant Tracking System (ATS). They are not designed to provide any value back to the job applicant.
There is a glaring feedback gap where applicants receive no objective analysis on their resume. They
are left in a state of uncertainty, unable to understand what an ATS or a recruiter is truly looking for.
This is a crucial market gap, as a tool that empowers the applicant directly would create a more engaged
and satisfied user base.

Finally, we identified a significant analytical and predictive gap. Most existing systems stop at data
extraction and storage. They do not offer advanced analytics or predictive insights. Organizations are
left with a flat database of information, making it difficult to identify trends, forecast talent needs, or
perform strategic analysis. The absence of a visual dashboard with charts and graphs, and the inability
to perform predictive analysis (e.g., "what role would this person be a good fit for?"), represents a
major shortcoming. Our proposed system is designed to fill these gaps by offering highly accurate
parsing, a valuable user-centric feedback loop, and a powerful analytics dashboard that provides
actionable business intelligence. Another critical limitation is the limited scalability and integration.
Many existing tools are standalone applications with poor API support, making it difficult to integrate
them into an organization's existing HR tech stack. This lack of interoperability forces companies to
manage multiple disconnected systems, leading to further inefficiencies.

we ensure that the project remains on track and that the final product is a high-quality solution
that meets user needs.
Iterative Development
Our methodology centers on an iterative and incremental development model, which breaks the project
into a series of smaller, self-contained iterations or "sprints." Each iteration builds upon the last, starting
with core functionality and adding more advanced features in subsequent cycles. This allows for
continuous refinement based on user feedback, ensuring the final product meets all requirements and
minimizes risk.
Phases of Methodology
The development of the AI Resume Analyzer will follow a structured, phased approach within our
Agile methodology. The key phases include

• Requirement Gathering & Analysis: This initial phase involves thoroughly understanding
the project's objectives, scope, and stakeholder needs. We will define the functional and
non-functional requirements, identify the problem to be solved, and outline the key features
for both the client and admin sides.
• Design & Planning: In this phase, we will create the architectural blueprint of the system,
including the database schema, system architecture diagrams and a process flow design. We
will also create a detailed Gantt chart to plan and schedule all tasks and milestones.
• Implementation & Development: This is the core development phase, which will be
carried out in a series of iterative sprints. We will write the code, build the user interfaces,
and integrate all the components (Streamlit, Python, MySQL, libraries) to create a working
system.
• Deployment & Maintenance: Once the system has been thoroughly tested and is stable, it
will be deployed to a production environment. This phase also includes ongoing
maintenance, bug fixes, and future updates to ensure the system remains reliable and upto-

Database :

MySQL is the chosen relational database for persistent storage. It is a reliable, secure, and widely-used
database management system that efficiently handles structured data. We will use it to store all parsed
resume data, user feedback, and other administrative information.

Authentication & Security :

• User Authentication (Admin-Side): Access to the administrative dashboard will be secured

through a robust authentication system. This will prevent unauthorized access to sensitive user
data, including personal information from resumes and performance analytics. A secure login
page with password hashing will be implemented to protect against brute-force attacks.
• Data Security & Privacy: All user data, especially personal information extracted from
resumes, will be handled with the highest level of security. Data will be stored in a secure
MySQL database with restricted access. The system will be designed to be compliant with data
protection regulations such as GDPR. User consent will be a prerequisite for data processing,
and users will have the right to access, modify, and delete their data.
• Data Transmission Security: All data transmitted between the client, the Streamlit server, and
the MySQL database will be encrypted using standard protocols to prevent interception. This
ensures that information remains secure throughout the entire process, from resume upload to
data storage.

27
 • Access Control: The system will implement role-based access control to ensure that only

 3.6 System Analysis (Functional, Structural, and Behavioral Models)
System analysis is a crucial step in the project, as it provides a deep understanding of what the system
is, what it does, and how it behaves. We will analyze the AI Resume Analyzer from three key
perspectives: Functional, Structural, and Behavioral.
Functional Model
The functional model describes the core functionalities of the system from a user's point of view,
without detailing the internal workings. The main functions of our system are:
Key Functions:
1. Resume Upload: The user must be able to upload a resume file (PDF) to the system.
2. Resume Parsing: The system must accurately read and extract key information from the
uploaded resume.
3. Report Generation: The system must generate a personalized report for the user, including
a resume score and recommendations.
4. Data Management (Admin): The administrator must be able to view, sort, and download
all user data.
5. Feedback Collection: The system must allow users to submit feedback and ratings.
6. Analytics Visualization: The system must display key data metrics in a graphical format
(e.g., pie charts).

Input → Processing → Output Flow:

This data flow model outlines the journey of information through a system, from its initial ingestion to
the final generated response. It clearly separates the raw data, the analytical operations performed, and
the resulting insights.
• Inputs: This phase involves the system ingesting various forms of raw data. This can include
digital content such as news articles in text format, image files, specific web URLs to be
analyzed, or direct text queries submitted by a user. The system's robustness depends on its
ability to handle this diverse range of data types.
• Processes: Once the data is received, the system's core processing engine takes over. This
involves a series of complex operations: fact-checking the information against a knowledge
base, translating content if it's in a foreign language, and conducting in-depth AI analysis to
understand the context and intent of the input. These processes are designed to transform raw
data into a structured and analyzable format.
• Outputs: The final phase delivers the results of the analysis back to the user or a connected
system. The output can be a classification, such as "Fake/Real" for a news article, a numerical
confidence score to indicate the certainty of the result, a timeline of events, or a direct,
conversational response from a chatbot that synthesizes the processed information into a
coherent answer.

30
Structural Model
The structural model defines the static components of the system and their interactions.
Major Components:

1. User Interface Layer (Frontend):

This layer is the point of direct interaction for both the client (job applicant) and the administrator.
It is built using Streamlit, which handles all visual components and user inputs. Its responsibilities
include:
• Displaying the resume upload form.
• Presenting the generated reports, scores, and recommendations.
• Rendering the administrative dashboard with its tables, charts, and control buttons.

2. Application Backend Layer:

This layer is the brain of the application and is powered by Python. It is responsible for all the
heavy-lifting, including data processing, analysis, and communication with the database. Its key
components include:
• Resume Parser: A module that uses libraries like pdfminer3 to extract raw text and
pyresparser to structure the data.
• Analysis Engine: This component performs the intelligent analysis, including skill clustering,
score calculation, and role prediction.
• Database Connector: A module that manages the connection to the MySQL database, handling
all data reads and writes.

3. Database Layer
This layer is the system's memory, responsible for securely storing all the data. It is powered by
MySQL, a robust relational database. The key components of this layer are:
• Resume Data Table: A table that stores all the parsed information from the resumes in a
structured format.
• Feedback Table: A table that records user ratings and comments.
• Admin Logs: A table that may store administrative actions for security and auditing purposes.

Behavioural Model
The behavioural model illustrates system dynamics, i.e., how the system responds to different inputs
over time.
Workflow:

• Input: The workflow is initiated when a user uploads a resume file, preferably in PDF format,
through the user-friendly client-side interface.

• Processing: The system takes the uploaded file and immediately begins a series of processes.
It uses a resume parser to extract all relevant data, then performs a logical analysis to determine
a resume score, predict a job role, and generate recommendations.

31
 • Storage: All parsed and analyzed data is then securely stored in the MySQL database. This
ensures that a persistent record of the user's data is maintained for administrative purposes and
future analysis.

• Output: The system generates a comprehensive report based on the analysis. This report is then
displayed to the user on the screen, completing the workflow cycle.
Example Scenarios:
Scenario 1: New User Analysis

• A new user, a recent college graduate, uploads their resume.

• The system takes the PDF file, processes it, and extracts their educational background and a list
of skills like "Python," "JavaScript," and "Data Structures."

• Based on these skills, the system's logic and predictive model determine a high probability for
a "Software Developer" role and recommend additional skills like "React" or "SQL."

• The system generates a report with a score of 85/100 and displays it to the user. All this data is
stored in the database.
Scenario 2: Admin Data Retrieval

• An administrator logs into the system to view all user data.

• The system presents a tabular view of all the resumes in the database.
• The admin uses a filter to view only users with a "Software Developer" prediction.
• The system queries the database and displays only the relevant results. The admin can then
choose to download this filtered data as a CSV file for further analysis.
Scenario 3: User Feedback Submission

• A user who has received their resume report navigates to the feedback section.
• They rate the tool 5 out of 5 stars and leave a comment: "This tool was very helpful!"
• The system captures this rating and comment and stores it in the Feedback table in the MySQL
database.

• The admin's analytics dashboard is then updated in real-time to reflect the new rating,
contributing to the "Ratings" pie chart.

ontologies, including O*NET and ESCO, providing a
structured taxonomy of roles and competencies.

Before training, datasets undergo extensive preprocessing.

Resumes are parsed into raw text using tools like Apache
Tika and PyMuPDF, preserving content structure. The text
is cleaned through lowercasing, punctuation removal,
tokenization, and removal of non-essential artifacts (e.g.,
headers, page numbers). NLP techniques such as stopword
removal, lemmatization, and part-of-speech tagging,
implemented with spaCy and NLTK, retain linguistically
relevant content [1]. A custom dictionary of domainspecific
terms enhances skill extraction accuracy. The processed
data is transformed into multi-dimensional features
suitable for machine learning. Named Entity Recognition
(NER) identifies key attributes like skills and experience,
while fine-tuned language models such as BERT and
RoBERTa improve phrase recognition and mapping to
standardized categories.

There remain areas for improvement especially where data
is sparse or for niche specializations but overall the
implementation demonstrates strong promise for adoption
in modern hiring workflows.

The findings from this study highlight both the potential

and the limitations of using artificial intelligence for
resume analysis and candidate-job matching. The strong
performance metrics particularly the F1-score above 0.88
and ROC-AUC above 0.90 demonstrate that the system is
capable of reliably distinguishing suitable from unsuitable
candidates across a wide variety of domains. This suggests
that the integration of deep embeddings, NLP-based skill Fig.4. Resume Upload
extraction, and ensemble learning models captures the
latent structure of resumes in ways that go beyond surface
keyword matching [1], [2] , [4] . In practice, this translates
into a significant reduction of recruiter workload and
greater consistency in decision-making, both of which are
critical for organizations processing thousands of
applications in competitive hiring cycles. Another critical
insight is the system’s impact on candidates themselves.
The Analyzer’s ability to provide feedback in natural
language and point out actionable improvements (e.g.,
weak phrasing, missing quantification, or absent technical
keywords) empowers applicants to refine their resumes in
line with industry expectations [9] This has broader
implications for employability rather than being a purely
evaluative mechanism, the Analyzer acts as a career Fig.5 Resume Parsing

democratizing access to job opportunities [10] .
This research demonstrates the considerable potential of
artificial intelligence to transform resume screening and
candidate-job matching. By integrating advanced natural
language processing [1] , [2] , machine learning, and
explainable AI techniques, the Resume Analyzer not only
improves predictive accuracy but also enhances
recruitment efficiency by reducing manual screening time.
Additionally, it empowers candidates with actionable
feedback to optimize their resumes [9] . This dual
functionality positions the system as an effective bridge
between talent and opportunities, ensuring fairness,
transparency, and accountability in hiring decisions.
Fig.3. User login Interface Challenges remain, notably the dependence on highquality
training data to avoid perpetuating biases, and the current
focus on textual resumes, which limits assessment of non-
traditional indicators such as portfolios and project
samples. Future development should address these gaps by
incorporating multimodal data sources and broadening
dataset diversity to improve generalizability and equity.
